My Wedding Day
Important Person
By Silvia Arias
By Maria das Dores
The people at my
wedding were
happy and they
congratulated,
kissed, and
hugged me and
my husband.
Everyone helped
at the reception.
They cooked and
brought drinks.
The church was full of my family and
friends. We were all happy and excited. The photographer took videos
and photos. Everybody brought
gifts. They conversed and danced.
Everyone ate the wonderful food and
had wine. Everyone was friendly and
kissed and hugged each other. When
we got tired, people cleaned the tables and went home. That night we
went to sleep at 4:30 in the morning.
We woke up at 10:30 am. I moved to
Alexandria to be with my husband
who lived in Washington, DC. We
were very happy because we have a
lot of friends in DC now we have one
child and we are a loving family.
The important person to me is my
friend Iza. She lives in the same building. She is 60 years old. She is very nice
to me, and helps a lot. Every time I need
help she is there. She has a car, and she
gives me a ride every Sunday. We go to
the same church. I met her when I first
came to this country. We are still
friends. We used to be roommates for
some time. Then she got married, but
her husband
died. She is 60
years old but
acts like a young
person. She
loves music, to
sing, and dance.
She eats a lot of
sweets, like kids.
She doesn‟t like
to go to school, she is lazy. I talk to her
about going to school and learning some
more. But she says no. She likes to get
home and go to bed. She doesn‟t have
any kids. She has brown skin and long
black hair.
