abuseThis was a lovely chapter. I liked how you introduced the characters and the setting. It was put into a situation that was perfectly natural and that helped the transitions flow smoothly. I'm looking forward to future updates.

abuseFor the RG! :D

Aw, this was sweet! I thought you had absolutely amazing description in it; like I could really see the situations. I also felt that your story was very realistic. It's not some drawn out plot with major plot twists, it's a progression that's very simple and I love it.

I think my only problem with it is the religious aspects, but that's simply a personal preference. Also, I noticed a few grammar mistakes (you put "rowing" when I'm sure it should be "growing", but that's just human error.)

abuseI'm actually non-religious, so I suppose this piece didn't have as much of an impact on me as it should have. But nonetheless, it was very inspiring and proves a lot about human nature. Again, I liked your style and the plot. The progression in time was smooth, though the jump from the porch to her, I guess bachelorette party?, was a bit sudden. Maybe I just missed something. But again, grammar is very well done. Keep it up.

abuseHey!

Terrific first chapter to your story, it's very interesting and I liked how well you described Natalie, without really describing her. I mean I like the flash back part because you didn't just go Natalie was a insecure kind of person, you showed how she would react in situations.

To be perfectly honest I don't have much an eye for grammar, so the only mistake I saw was:

“Well, if I would you I’d stop reminiscing and begin to think about that aisle you’ll be walking down tomorrow.”

'would' should be were.

Thanks for the review by the way, I look forward to your future chapters.

abuseNot my favourite genre, but your characterization was quite strong, and your dialog was good. My only quibble would be with your grammar--there are a few errors, here and there (such as mixing up your and you're) that detract from the overall quality of the story.

abuseHi, fellow writer of reviewers-found! It feels nice to see other reviewers-found members on fictionpress and review them even though it isn't their turn. Either way, nice story there. Your writing is really up there in the high levels and I don't see much that you really need to work on. The spelling, grammar, and general flow and pace of story is top notch. The only complaint that I have is regarding the plot, but honestly, it is personal opinion so I think I won't state it here as it might sound too offending. It isn't about the religious aspect of the story (since I too am a believer, though not a very good one I admit), but the military aspect. If you really want my opinion, feel free to pm me.

Anyway, that's all I have to say. Thanks for the nice story! If you have time, take a look at my story 'Willing Tool' which is in an experimental stage so I need quite a bit of feedback before I could develop a good style for that type of story.

Either way, good luck writing! Looking forward to your turn on reviewers-found!

abuseNice Story there. I like the plot n all, but I got a little confizzled when she was reminising and when the present was occuring, but other than that it was great! I can't wait for the next chapter.

abuseAww...this was really great. (: I love all the vivid descriptions and it flowed very nicely. The only thing I could suggest would be to give hints of the proposal, make the atmosphere more romantic, etc. When he proposed, it was kind of an abrupt change. But you honestly did a marvelous job...and I saw that you got another review! ek! Keep on writing! It's a beautiful start!!

abuseGood. I loved the intro but it jumped back into the past to fast - I was just getting into the swing and the starry night and the feel of the cold air. It was so good that I watnted it to continue for a while longer.

Good detail. I would like to see it cover a little less ground and the ground that it does cover, I'd like to see in more depth.

Keep up the great work Great American Author!
