The Wedding Day
When I first heard the crash I did not understand, until someone actually told me that my cousins just got into an accident. In that moment I did not put two and two together. Everyone else that heard the accident knew immediately what had happened, but I didn’t, I was only 11 years old….
It was 5 years ago my parents got married. It was a gorgeous day , the sun was shining, birds chripping all around, and even the great sound of children laughing. It was just a perfect day to have a wedding. After the wedding ceremony all the guests began to depart to the reception, except my immediate family. We gathered at my grandfather’s house, and everyone was in a wonderful mood. Especially me, I was in a pretty, sparkly dress, and I never get dressed up, so I felt like a princess. My cousin Samantha and I were talking about our dresses while making our way to the car.

At that moment sitting in the car with my cousin everything seemed perfect. My parents were married, and I just got a new father! The whole family was gathered, and everyone was happy. This was the first time in a while the whole family got together. It just made the day perfect.
Then my family began to depart…
My cousins Ethan and John were the first to leave, and that is when this beautiful day took a turn for the worst.
I remember sitting in the car looking up at my mom in her beautiful white dress when we all heard the terrifying, ear wrenching sound of car meeting car, just 30 seconds away.
“CRASHHH!”
That's when I saw the panic sticking threw all the adults. My mom was screaming.
“CALL 911”
My uncles rushed to the scene, while I stay in the car paralyzed with my cousin not knowing what was happening at that
For those of you that don’t know, I am Trey Rongisch and I am currently a student at Midland University. It is quite ironic how Nick and I first met, it was during my first college class. I would have never expected him to ask me to be his Best Man at his wedding in the short span of four months, but when he asked me, I just couldn’t turn down the offer. But I’m going to be honest, I’ve been feeling quite nervous about giving this speech for some time. But I’m pleased to say last night I slept like a baby – I woke up every two hours, crying my eyes out. With this in mind, I am ready to get this speech going and I must share how honored I am to be here today and speak on behalf of Nick and his beautiful wife, Katie.
Then the accident happened and my perspective changed. I heard a scream. My sister yelled “HELP!!” I watched as what was happening was moving by me speedily, not waiting for me to catch up. It all happened in a blur as I ran out to see what happened. My brother had jumped out in front of the skid steer while it was rolling down the hill. His leg had become wedged between the van at the bottom of the hill and the skid steer fork. There was blood everywhere. My dad was not home. He was at work so he could not come right away. My mom had to move the big van
It was about 1:30am and the only people in the Emergency Waiting Room were my mother and I and a couple that looked like they had been there for a while. I sat there staring at the walls that resembled a jail cell for what felt like hours. And that was the particular moment that I realized the channel had been switched forever. I had gone from a girl who had never lost a loved one to a girl who had almost lost her only sister. All I could think of was all of the “what ifs?” What if I had already gone to bed and no one in my family woke up to the answering machine? What if that man didn’t work a late night and someone else with bad intentions got to her first? What if she had been driving a little faster and got knocked unconscious when that deer jumped in front of her car? What if she never woke
After another half hour passed, two police cars pulled up to get an accident report and the southern lady took us to the hospital to check for injuries. Virginia and I had a few scratches from the glass and Wanda had minor whiplash, but we couldn’t have been more relieved.
The weight of the car pressed down on the bottom half of my body with massive force. It did not hurt simply because adrenaline pumped through me. All I could feel was the weight of the car’s hood pushing my body farther and farther into the ground. My lungs felt clamped shut and air would neither enter nor escape them. My mind was buzzing. What had just happened? In the distance, on that demonic road, I saw cars driving by completely unaware of what happened and how I felt. I tried to yell but my voice was unheard. All I could do was wait. Wait for someone to help me or wait to die.
Disappointment, disbelief and fear filled my mind as I lye on my side, sandwiched between the cold, soft dirt and the hot, slick metal of the car. The weight of the car pressed down on the lower half of my body with monster force. It did not hurt, my body was numb. All I could feel was the car hood's mass stamping my body father and farther into the ground. My lungs felt pinched shut and air would neither enter nor escape them. My mind was buzzing. What had just happened? In the distance, on that cursed road, I saw cars driving by completely unaware of what happened, how I felt. I tried to yell but my voice was unheard. All I could do was wait. Wait for someone to help me or wait to die.
Finally after what seemed like years, I walked out to greet my new father-in-law and my new wife. I shook his hands as he gave away his youngest daughter to start our own family, and then I reached out for the arm of my bride. Together we walked the rest of the way down the aisle and stood in front of the pastor’s
a sense of panic washed over me. I saw my younger brother sitting on the floor struggling to
I had no idea that a simple trip to the local supermarket would result in a trip to the emergency room. This was definitely a tragic day that I will not soon forget. I have always been cautious about the safety of my children, taking every step to be sure I do what I can to keep them out of harm's way. Unfortunately, on this day, I did everything I could and it still did not make a difference.
Then his mom leaving in a car and saying she would come back after she picked up dad. After about an hour she returned but I had been brainwashed on everything. A car faster than anything in the world came and slammed right into my parent's car while they were in there. And I was clapping for my own parent's death.
You’re driving along the road, just minding your own business when out of nowhere, BAMM. Another car just hit you, you’re frozen in shock unsure of what to do next. Finally, you snap out of it and realize what just happened to you. You get out of what’s left of your car and inspect the damage that’s been done. For some people this might just seem like a scary story, something that they never want to go through, but for me it is a reality.

It’s about 7:45 P.M. April 15, 2015. Jasmine is calling my name asking if I’m ready to go. As I’m trying to put all the loose ends together, I think I’m ready. My hair is done in a curly up do with a thin white braided hair band, makeup rushed but it will do, and I’m wearing a knee length white dress. Just a simple white dress, form fitting, made from a linen type of material. My stomach is turning and twisting. As my mind is racing we make way to the park. Jasmine seems to be more eager than I am. As we arrive to the park my legs are a trembling mess. I feel like my mind is in a state of chaos. As I feel my chest pumping harder and harder, it feels tighter and tighter. This day will mark a very important day for the rest of my life. Today is the day I marry my husband. On this day my family becomes one.
Then, I heard everyone scream “Surprise!” I could not believe my eyes. There was decoration all over the living room, a cake on the table, music and a big bouquet of pink flowers. My eyes start tearing. I was delighted and humbled by how lucky I was to have such an amazing family. I ran up to my parents, my three brothers, and sisters in law and hugged all of them. We started singing and dancing I cannot forget those moments of my life. Then I realized time was running and that I still had to go to my cousin’s house to do my makeup. I rushed to her house leaving my family at home, so they could get ready, and we could later celebrate after the graduation. As, Sandra was putting on my makeup; I was thinking of how I was going to react when they called my name on the stage. I was smiling as I was thinking of the moment of my
Never would I have thought that accident could occur to my family and myself so suddenly. It was a warm, sunny morning when my mom, and my nanny, Carrie, drove me to a pediatric hospital for a health check up on a motorcycle. With me sitting tightly in between my mom and Carrie, I held onto my
