Violins & Roses
This post is for Saturday Centus the brainchild of Jenny Matlock. We get given a prompt(in bold italics) & have maximum of 100 to write a creative piece. Do pop over to Jenny’s when you’ve left a comment here & read the others!

Was this really happening – to ME?
I was over 30 & had been married twice already yet here I was with a very special ring in my hand.
I had only known him for a couple of months. I should be really careful shouldn’t I?
“ You know what you’re like for getting all ‘pink roses & violins’,” a voice said in my head.
“Are you sure that’s the one you want?”
I felt a little lump in my throat as I peered down at my choice, held tightly in my hand. I didn’t think this would be so nerve-wracking. Was I making the wrong decision? I couldn’t agonize over this any longer.
I took a deep breath before managing to say, “… Yes, it is.”
I looked up & knew straight away that I had made the right decision. Not the ring, although that was perfect, but THE decision. I was safe & he was the one!

Postscript – we have been married for over 20 years!
What a great story! We need a little romance in these Centus offerings once in awhile!
=)
Glkad you approved! Thanks for stopping by!
Oh hooray! I love this! I’m so glad you found Mr. Right. This made me shiver…and want to go kiss Mr. Jenny!
Thanks for a great and different use of the prompt this week!
You must always keep Mr Jenny happy!

What a lovely post! Great use of the prompt, and I especially love the postscript 🙂
Not everyone has one I suppose! Get to see you here. Please come over again!
Bravo! Here’s to true love, choosing the right man, and the ring be damned.

What a wonderful, sweet post! I guess the third time really is the charm! At least that is how it is for me! Very well done!
Thank you Sir! Glad you liked it. Thank for popping over!
This was terrific. I hope it’s a true story. I remember a day in my life just like this day and my thoughts and feelings mirrored these completely. We’ve been married for over 20 years too.
It is a true story & has an on-going happy ending! Thank you for popping along!
oh for real? This is a true story? How cool is that? I haven’t written any truth in these 9 weeks (what a concept) perhaps I should!
I’m terrible at using things that have happened to me. It is supposed to be a creative meme after all!! Thank you so much for stopping by!
Beautiful. Really touching.
Thank you!
