Mr. Cloud, I Have A Request, If I May | mello's Blog

Dear Mr. Cloud,

I hope I am not imposing. If I may I would like to make a request. This is quite difficult for me as I don't often make requests. I never expect to get what I want and am always pleased with what I get. In fact, when asked what I want it takes the one asking quite some time to get an answer out of me. When the do get an answer it is preceded with "I don't need it, it would be nice to have, but I don't need it." Like I said, I never expect anything.

I am finaly asking for something because I feel this is the one time where I might just deserve getting something that I want. If that is arrogant please excuse me. You see, as a little girl I never dreamed of having a fancy wedding as some little girls do. I never really put any thought into it until I was in my late teens. Even then I didn't focus on how I would look or how I wanted everything, I thought of all the people I wanted to share the day with. Unfortunately none of those people are going to be there. Not even the undetermined family of the groom. Not even my own family. That really was the most important part, to me. Sharing this wonderful day with those who have known me my entire life. I am fortunate to have some very good friends there. However, I won't be dancing with my father to the song "Wild World" by Cat Stevens. I won't have my mother to help me put my dress on. I won't have my grandmother and my 20+ cousins.

The only time we get to be a family is during a wedding or funeral. Only one out of my 20+ cousins has gotten married yet, so that leaves the next funeral because no one will be at my wedding. We don't do the holiday thing. Weddings and anniversaries are where we direct our celebratory feelings! It is the time for exchanging gifts and spending time with your loved ones. This has been my way of life for as long as I have lived except not this time.... not for me.

So Mr. Cloud, could I ask you a favor? May I please, please, please, have a white wedding? Could you make it sonw for me, please? That would make me oh so happy. Just a little snow... That's all I ask. Enough to cover the ground. Enough to make the morning feel beautiful and special.

Please?

My humble regards,

Melissa
