Escape

By Kaycee Nilson

I have escaped the knife for now. The neurosurgeon that was supposed to perform my back operation passed away this past week. From what I understand, he passed peacefully in his sleep.

While my prayers are with his family, I hate to say that I am relieved. I didn’t know what I was going to do since my personal assistant would be gone the second week of recovery. But now I am in an ortho corset with heavy metal stays. While this was popular in the Civil War Era, I can say, it has done wonders for both my posture and my shape.

And I am able to work out on my Tony Little Gazelle a lot more which will put me at my ideal weight for my wedding next summer.

It’s funny what we women go through in the name of vanity. But to be honest, I know now that I will be walking down the aisle and hopefully make it through the ceremony and the reception with out much pain. I will do anything to ensure that I walk down the aisle instead of not being able to have the wedding of my dreams.

Vanity is a strong thing that I had hoped to never suffer from, but every woman has dreamed of being the most ravishing creature on the face of the earth for her wedding. I have dreamed of being a fairy tale princess for my wedding ever since I was a little girl. All the eyes on oohs, all the ahhs and me is what I crave.

Plus to drive Dan into tears when I walk down the aisle would be something that is totally romantic.

Forgive me for rambling and not sticking to the original point, but the two go hand in hand for me. I was worried of what if the surgery went bad and botched. I want to be able to walk down the aisle without the aid of crutches or a wheel chair and to have the first dance with my new husband is a dream I have had ever since Dan proposed.

Not to mention being able to spend time with my kids and not have them remember this year as the year that Mother gave up. I was close to giving up, I confess that. But now I can dream of the Valencia dress and being able to Tango as our first dance as husband and wife.

Of course I plan on buying the pattern to the dress and making it myself. That way, instead of the rum pink accents, I can accent the dress in blue, which is our wedding color. But to also be able to stand on my own two feet, I cannot express to anyone what that means to me.

To have my two oldest children give me away is a dream I have had since the proposal. I also have had plans for the most beautiful wedding I can imagine and to make everyone green with envy on how I look for my new husband. To be able to dance our first dance, I have dreamed of that moment ever since I met Dan.

I knew from my first time that I laid eyes on him, that this is the soul mate that I have searched for in my life. Not too many people get that lucky and it took a lot for me to find him. And to think, South Park brought us together.
