The Wedding
Rose POV (BOLD)
My name is Rose Hathaway. Yes the one and only. The thing is, I am getting married to the most gorgeous, sexiest man alive here at Court. His name is Dimitri Belikov. It's funny how some things work you know. I have killed many strigoi; I have saved Dimitri along with the help of my best friend Lissa to bring Dimitri back. Hell I went to Russia back.
I am a badass guardian who knows how much of a badass she really is. I have fought and trained for everything that has lead up to that one moment of when I graduated from the Academy. Hell I thought graduation was nerve-wracking. No nothing compares to this perfect moment.
I didn't know what to expect. I still don't know. I have never been so nervous in all my life or scared. Yes I was scared when I thought I lost my husband to be that night in the cave. Honestly? This takes the cake. Of course I have you and my friends to help me out but truthfully I didn't think I could be more scared.
And my dad. Oh boy, don't get me started on him. He doesn't so much as scares me anymore but he really loves to threaten. Is there any way you can tell him to stop threatening all the boyfriends I have? Seriously that is getting old. I don't want Dimitri getting scared and running off. He says I am stuck to him like glue. I just hope he's right.
JANINE POV (BOLD)
I sighed taking a deep breath listening to my daughter rant. I couldn't help but smile as I watched her pace up and down in her wedding dress. She truly does look amazing. But I also noticed she was wearing a hole in the floor as I laughed watching her pace. She was however right though. She could take on a fleet of strigoi and throw herself in front of a gun taking a bullet for her Princess. (She did that by the way).
My daughter is fearless. She fears nothing if it involves the ones she loves. She never would think twice about it. I take pride in the fact Rosemarie Hathaway is my daughter. I look at her, taking a deep breath, trying to come up with the right thing to say. I was never good with words. I took a deep breath smiling at her, "Rose believe it or not getting married is exciting. Yes it can be scary but in the end it will be worth it. Although your father and I never got married our life is wonderful. You will be just fine. Walk down the aisle with your head held high and just think of how great of a wife you'll be. This doesn't happen often dhampirs getting married like this. Hold your head up high and as you walk straight down the middle and say to yourself "I am Rosemarie Hathaway. I can do this. I have faced worst things than this. I have faced death. I can and will do this!" Oh and I will try and have a talk with your father."
Rose sighed in relief. As I heard her tell me I was right. She gave me a real hug that made me want to melt as I smiled. I went to go get her father to walk her down the aisle. She would be just fine.
DIMITRI'S POV (BOLD)
I sat there in the dressing room as I finished putting on my tux. I couldn't believe this was really happening. I am the luckiest man alive. I pulled my hair back in a ponytail as I smiled putting the flower in my pocket. I was finally doing this. I was finally getting married to my Roza. Oh my sweet, sweet Roza.
I have loved her since the day I met her. She is something else. She is the love of my life. Rose helped me after she and Lissa healed me from a strigoi to a dhampir once more. I was going through a very rough time, and she never once gave up on me, or gave up on hope. She helped me see past the monster I was to the person I am now. I will never forget what she said that made me realize I was different than strigoi. "Find one thing, just one thing that you like that makes you different from them." After that I realized everything would be all right.
A few months ago however just after she said that and we came back to court she got shot by Tasha Ozera. I thought she wasn't going to make it. It was such a close call. The last thing she said to me before passing out from loss of blood was "I forgive you." Right then and there changed my whole perspective on life. I learned to appreciate myself and not take things for granted. You can say I had my Roza's life flash right before my eyes. Mine did to although I wasn't hurt or anything. But it was like we were connected.
She's all right and now I am getting ready to marry her. It's my lucky day. I look up to hear a noise as Janine smiled looking for Abe. I told her where I thought he might be. I take one more look in the mirror smiling, as I know how lucky I am to marry the woman and love of my life. Rose had come a long way from the teenager I met to the young woman she has become. I heard the music as I started walking down to the best man. A wide smile plastered on my face. This was it. I was finally getting married.
ROSE'S POV (BOLD)
I take a deep breath. This was it. I was finally getting married. My mother had talked to me and calmed me down. I looked in the mirror and I didn't look like Rose Hathaway. My dress was strapless. It was a simple "A" line pattern. My hair was up in curled at the top of my head. I had my makeup done, nails both toes and fingers painted. I wore high heels that Lissa let me borrow. Stilettos of all things in her closet. I could barely walk in wedges. What in her right mind made her think I could walk down the aisle in these? We were going to have a talk later.
I smiled as Lissa came walking over smiling "You look great. No, spectacular. Dimitri is going to love you forever. Just remember that." She said as I smile wider thinking about my soon to be husband in a few minutes time. All the sudden the music started and Lissa gave me a hug before wishing me luck.
My mother happened to find my father just in time to walk me down "Cutting it kind of close old man?" I asked smirking as he laughed.
"Always Kiz, always." He said. I smiled at him as we started walking down the aisle. I was excited but scared at the same time. Today was my day and nothing could go wrong. (So I was hoping.) I had all my friends and family with me. I was so nervous but excited at the same time. I looked straight ahead to see the man that was mine. He looked like an angel standing there in all his glory. Oh that smile. That smile always makes my knees go weak. I don't know why but every time I see Dimitri I feel like I am on a different planet. Like I am floating on air and not on the planet earth.
This time however it was more than that. It was tenfold. As I saw him my heart leaped out of my chest and into my palm. I felt it pump so loud and so fast I didn't know what to do. Dimitri held his hand out to me as I grabbed it and said our wedding vows and we were finally married. My mother and father were the first to congratulate us followed by Dimitri's family as they smiled kissed me and welcomed me into the family. I still couldn't believe we were finally tied the knot. We were finally a family. After the reception we headed back to the honeymoon suite to enjoy our first night as husband and wife
