Chapter 1
Today was the day that I, Clare Marie Edwards was getting married to my long-time boyfriend and soulmate Eli Thomas Goldsworthy.
I start pacing around the large dressing room when Alex walks in.
Alexandria Lucille Torres is Alli and Drew's daughter. They got married after Drew admitted to being wrong for cheating on Alli with the school slut Bianca. It took a while, 6 months to be exact but Alli eventually forgave him.
Eli and I are her godparents and Adam and Fiona who are currently engaged are her god uncle and aunt.
Holly J and Sav also got married after they both graduated from highschool, attended NYU and are now back home living close to Sav's house.
Although it's been 5 years since Eli and I first met, the memories in my mind are fresh, almost like it happened yesterday. Eli and I had been through so much together we became inseperable.
From the moment I saw him infront of Degrassi I knew he was different, which is probably why we had gone through so much together while others got together and broke up.
I was so lost in my thoughts about Eli that I didn't notice Alex come up behind me and start pulling my dress.
"Yes Alex?" I ask in a calm tone, although I'm far from it
"Auntie Clare, how did you and Uncle Eli meet?"
I can't help but smile at her question. For a six year old she is very smart
"Well Alex, it's kind of a long story"
I answer
"It's ok, i've got time" She looks at me through her long eyelashes, courtesy of Alli and I can't help but say "Ok"
I pull her up into my lap and check the time; 2:45. The wedding was supposed to start at 5:00. I had plenty of time.
"Okay then, it all started when.."
And I start telling her how Eli and I first met when he ran over my glasses.
