Chapter 7 Shauna
I stand in front of a mirror and stare at myself in shock. In a long black dress will with a white ribbon around my waist coming into a big bow behind on my back, I'm beautiful. I see Lauren standing behind me with a big smile on her face. I turn to face her.
"Look at you!" She says. I beam at her in her short black dress. I look over to see my mother in her black skirt and blouse and she smiles at me. Walk over and hug her tight.
She has tears in her eyes as she says, "How beautiful you are! If only your father could see you on wedding day." I just nod because I know if I speak I will cry. I hug her again and look over to see Marlene coming in the door.
"They're ready for you," she says with a huge grin plastered on her face. I pick up my bouquet if roses spray painted black. We all walk along the hall ways when we reach a certain point we stop and form a line. Four and Lauren stand at the front Uriah and Marlene are behind and the rest of the bridal party. My mom and I stand at the end nervously, yet excitedly, awaiting our turn to walk down the path to the Pit where I will marry to Zeke. Just in front of Four and Lauren I see Hector and Lauren's daughter Alicia halfway up the aisle.
Lauren and Four make it to the front. Lauren patiently awaits me as Four stands behind Zeke. Soon it's my turn. I link arms with my mother and we begin the slow precession to my future. We get closer and closer and all I can think about is Zeke. How much I love him and how much I want to be with him. And then I finally reach him.
My mother kisses my cheek and walks to her seat beaming. I look at Zeke. My Zeke. We stand hand-in-hand in front of Tori, who was glad to officiate the ceremony. She read the necessary monologue before turning her attention to us.
"Do you, Shauna Reed, take Ezekiel Martinez as your husband?"
"I do," I say beaming wider yet.
She turns to Zeke. "Do you, Ezekiel Martinez, take Shauna Reed as your wife?"
He replies with "No." I feel tears in my eyes and my jaw drop. There are several gasps from friends and family. His face registers with shock as he quickly says, "Wait I-I was k-kidding of course I do." I glare at him. Tori clears her throat and nervously says,
"You may kiss the bride." He pulls me close and kisses me hungrily wanting to make amends and soon I all the anger I felt just moments ago melts away. He pulls away and smiles nervously. I smile back and we turn to face everyone. They cheer loudly and we are devoured as everyone rushes up to us and we are carried away.
The small reception is blur. Many faces of family and friends rushing up to congratulate us. After a wedding in Dauntless you get a two week vacation to do whatever you want, so Zeke and I stay up half the night planning. Well not JUST planning. We finally decide to go with Zeke's suggestion if trying to fit in as many stunts as possible before having to go back to work. When we decide I kiss him and get into his bed. Correction OUR bed.
