Saying the ending of my vows with the precious “I do”, I started to feel my heart race and my palms sweat. Tears are bountiful all around. She leaned in and kissed him. That brought back the memory of their first kiss.

(flashback)I had just fallen off of the swing-set and skinned my knee. I had tears running down my cheeks. This wonderful shadow cast all around me indicated that there was another soul lurking in the distance, I looked up with swollen eyes that were red and puffy. He knelt beside me and wiped away my tears. Children were all around us playing, but all I could do was stare into his eyes. He was saying something or asking me a question but all I did was turn and kiss him.

When I got done kissing this wonderful man that I now call my husband. I feel very happy and uplifting. This man has brought me so much joy and constant memories since I met him when I was 8 (eight). He is my life and family now. Just like he was when we first meet on that playground 12 years ago, when he wiped my tears away.
Nice story, week 10 for sure. I think I'd drop "flashback"--not needed; the asterisks convey the change in time. And I'd change 'She leaned in and kissed him" to "I leaned in...."
