Seeing Sheila walk up the aisle, on top of the real red and pink roses that were just laid out for

me had my emotions all messed up. I was ready to jack my dress up, kick my shoes off and give

Sheila just what she had asked for, showing up at my wedding. I had questions and somebody

better tell me the answers, I wanted to know who invited her? How did she even know? I knew it

was a few of the church members that weren’t too fond of me, let’s just say the old me because

they haven’t had a chance to get to know the new me. Sheila looked a mess, I could give her an

A for effort though. At least this time she didn’t have a wig on, she had her hair pinned up. Her

makeup was two shades too light and the bright pink lipstick was blinding me. If you going to

show up at someone’s wedding make sure you on point.

“Ain’t nobody getting married today!” she yelled coming up the aisle with a piece of paper in her

hand. “I got something that I think you would like to see about your old prince charming you

about to marry!” When I seen Don and Mickey get up I knew trouble was about to start. Don

whispered something in Sheila ear and she shook her head violently, Don grabbed her on one

arm and Mickey grabbed the other walking her out of the church.

“Let me go, I think his soon to be wife needs to see this!” Sheila was kicking and scratching at

the men hands. I glanced at my son and Rob and they both held the same expression, I couldn’t

read it. But my gut was telling me that whatever was on that paper was going to hold my fate

Jerrod stepped down to where his father and I were standing. “Do I need to continue, or stop

this?” He eyed his father. Rob swallowed hard and looked at me. “It’s up to your mother,” he

“What’s on the paper?” I asked him looking into his eyes and searching for anything that would

“Seriously Mary, I don’t know.” Rob never once looked away. The people in the congregation

were starting to whisper amongst themselves.

“Continue the wedding, but if I find out something that you didn’t tell me; you are going to

regret the day your mother and father conceived you.” I said with bitterness and threat in every

Jerrod took his place back in the pulpit and got the congregation under control, we finished the

vows and entered into the reception. The way my mind was set up, I wasn’t in the mood to

entertain, I wanted to get Rob alone and pick his brain apart.

"I can't believe Mary decided to go ahead and marry that fool Rob. I hope she know what she

doing, there is no way that man's ex-wife would have come up in my wedding..." One of the

"Excuse me ladies, but if I were you I wouldn't be sitting here talking about the next person.

Remember to sweep around your own front door." I pulled my wedding dress up and walked

I was ready to shut this whole mess down but I didn't want to embarrass my son. So I put on my

fake smile until it was time for Rob and me to go on our honeymoon. Once we were in the limo

"This has been one of the worst days of my life. I mean who pops up at a wedding and try to ruin

it for the next person. Only someone that has dirt on you would do such a thing," I gave Rob a

side eye. I knew he was hiding something from me. "I'm going to ask you again. Do you have

anything to tell me?" I asked my now husband.

"No, not that I can think of. Can we please enjoy the rest of our day? Trust me if I had anything

to hide, I wouldn't have married you. Sheila is playing games and I for one don't have time for

them. If you are going to let a drug addict change your mind about loving me, then that's on

you." Rob unbuttoned his tuxedo jacket and took it off. I admired how good looking Rob was, he

was all out sexy. I could see why Sheila didn't want to let go but if I'm not mistaken she left him.

Our plane ride to Hawaii was smooth, but Rob and I were exhausted. We were here for five days

so we had time to rest. "Come here so I can kiss my wife." I walked towards Rob and kissed him

passionately. I was putty in his hands, I finally got the man of my dreams. The way Rob kissed

me made me feel better about trusting him, it's been a long thirty years, and I plan on enjoying

The next morning we decided to eat breakfast on the beach, the view and the smell of the breeze

was amazing. After eating Rob and I went horseback riding and took a tour around the island, I

would be lying if I didn’t say I was a little worried. My gut was telling me something was going

on, but my heart was telling me to trust him.

“Mary, I assure you that I have nothing to hide. I’m man enough to tell you. As far as I can

remember I haven’t done anything, you been on pins and needles since yesterday. I will never

hurt you all I need you to do trust.” The look in Rob’s eyes made me feel like I was the only

woman in the world. Later that night we went out on the town and enjoyed ourselves some good

old Hawaiian entertainment. We danced and ate until the wee hours of the morning, I was going

to let this issues go until we got back home. There was no need to damper my honeymoon on a

woman that Rob obviously didn’t want.
