Hi @wildscribe. Thank you for sharing your story in The Ink Well. This is a nice, reflective piece about a wedding day.
Sometimes we provide feedback to help writers in our community. The first thing we would like to share is about your image. It's fine to create images using AI, but we don't recommend telling the story within the image. The image should support your story, not replace it.
We also wanted to provide a correction for a word using incorrectly throughout the story. When someone looks at something intently or watches another person closely, they are "staring," not "stirring." The words "stir", "stirring" and "stirred" mean to mix something, like stirring a pot of soup.
Here are the instances in your post that you might want to fix:
When the question was thrown at Ife, if she would say yes to the man beside her to be her lovely husband till death do them part, she stirred at the man for a moment before answering.
[This should be stared, not stirred.]
I kept stirring at Ife.
[This should be staring, not stirring.]
She stirred at the paper and signed where she needed to sign and dropped the pen.
[This should be stared, not stirred.]
But before she answers, I will remember that moment when she stirred at the man and took a moment before she said yes in a low voice.
[This should be stared, not stirred.]
All the best,
The Ink Well admins
