Year One, Part One: The Wedding
Chase's Point Of View
Oh God. I'm so nervous. I wish one of my ministry mates would help me relax. Brett told me the hardest part about marriage is the honeymoon. I don't think I would benefit from his advice- Never lose your iPod before a fight, and you'll turn out okay. Did I forget to mention he's been married 3 times, and is engaged to his fourth wife, who's name is Celeste. Parker told me that if Allison and I were in love, it would all work itself out. That's another thing. Calling Cameron by her first name sometimes: Allison. She would call me Robert? But, being called Chase is something I've grown kind of fond of. Allison assured me 6 months ago, when I proposed, that she was changing her name to Allison Marie Cameron Chase. Cameron would become a middle name, she said. I laughed it off then, thinking she was kidding. She wasn't. Her legal name is now Allison Marie Cameron Wood. Wood is her maiden name, and she is only keeping it for 30 more minutes. I take a double-glance at my gold watch, given to me by my Uncle Elias. 30 more minutes? I am suddenly more nervous than before. I look to my older brother, Lucas, who is busy playing with his 10 year old daughter, Eliza. My two sisters, Rebecca and Janine hug me tightly.
"Robby, we're so proud of you. Allison is a wonderful girl. And is very lucky to enter the Chase clan." Joked Janine. Janine was 5 years older than me. Janine is married to a guy named Peter Logan. They have two children Molly, 7 and Rupert, 3. Rebecca is 27, to my 30. She's married to a man named Nathaniel Reynolds. They have two children too Lucille, 4 and Margaret, 11 months. I have been the black sheep for far too long. It's about time I start adding to the family gene pool. Lucas has 3 kids Oliver, 13 Eliza, 10 and Penelope 6. Penelope, my favorite niece, is the flower girl. Rupert and Oliver are the ring bearers. Penelope is so smart for being just a tiny thing. She has brown hair, and bright green eyes. They melt my heart, when she says 'Uncle Robby' my heart melts.
Suddenly, I hear the music that Cameron and I selected. Penelope followed by Rupert and Oliver started the procession. Allison's sister-in-law Angela walks down the aisle. With her two best friends, Elaine and Charlotte walking in after her. Then Cuddy, the maid of honor comes down the aisle. My groomsmen were already where I was, and my best man. My best man was my older brother, Lucas. Then three of my best friends were groomsmen Brett, Parker, and Alex. Then the minister was my best friend since second grade, Marty. His name was Martin, but he's been Marty to me since we met in kindergarten. Then, the wedding march begins. My heart is racing. I feel sweat sliding down my back. Then I see her heading this way. Hopefully no one ruins anything.
Cameron's Point of View
I grabbed my bouquet, and took another glimpse in the mirror. I saw my face; it looked so familiar to me. My blue eyes, the ones that Robert said looked violet in the dark. I heard my late husband, Louis's voice in my ear. It said, 'be happy, Allison. Be happy. That's all I want.'
I turned to the picture frame, of Robert and myself.
On our first date. He was so nervous. I choked a chuckle, remembering. His blonde hair had been all in his face. Even after years of knowing one another, he was still nervous as hell.
I heard my brother tap me on the shoulder. 'Sis? It's time.' He said.
Suddenly, I was nervous. More nervous than Chase on our first date. And that was saying something.
I grabbed my bouquet that I had laid on the table. And walked out.
I saw Chase. My heart skipped a beat. He looked so handsome. And nervous. I choked another laugh, as he wiped what appeared to be sweaty palms on his pant legs.
Allison, it's do or die, I thought as I took my last steps of widowhood and into married life, once more.
