Chapter 9

We're finally married. We decided to have a small wedding a few weeks after Dimitri proposed, but we had a huge reception, most were Dimitri's guardian friends and of course my friends. The theme was blue and white. It was beautiful. We had blue and white flowers and a very fun reception in the academy gym. Some of the guardians set up the tables and had Adrian DJ. We had embarrassing moments too. Now we're on our way to Siberia to visit Dimitri's family in Baia. I surprised Dimitri with the tickets a couple days before the wedding.

Before we left I wanted to make sure I was cleared to travel. (I don't even know if you're allowed to air travel at 7 months but for my story just go with it) We checked on the baby and me and I am as healthy as could be. I reminded the doctor that I didn't want to know anything about the baby, only that it is healthy and doing fine, so we just listened to the heart beat and the doctor looked at the ultra sound. Me and Dimitri just talked while she was doing that.

I looked up at Dimitri and smiled. I rested my head on his shoulder.

Flashback

Today's my wedding day. Right now I'm getting ready to walk down the aisle and finally become Dimitri's wife. I'm so excited. My dress is white and loose to fit over my big belly. I had wedges for my heels. My bridesmaids were Mia and Juliet. Juliet is Adrian's girlfriend. Lissa was my maid of honor. Dimitri had Christian as his best man Eddie and Adrian as his groomsmen. My hair was curled and put into a half up-do. My mother surprised me with small head piece. "It was your grandmother's. She wore it for her wedding, something old." She said with a smile.

I also had gotten her to wear a mother of the bride dress. Everyone had beautiful dresses on. I couldn't wait to walk down the aisle and see Dimitri. My father came in.

"You have 5 minutes. Are you ready Rose?" My mother asked.

"I think so." I answered. I looked at my bridesmaids. "Are you guys ready?"

Everyone smiled and nodded.

"Wait!" Lissa shouted. "She needs something borrowed and blue."

"Oh, I think I have something that she could borrow." Mia said as she looked through her purse. She pulled out a box and opened it. Inside was a silver bracelet and she handed it to me.

"I couldn't—" Mia cut me off.

"You need it more than I do. Besides it all about you today. I'm more than happy to let you borrow it." She said with a smile while helping me put it on.

Lissa came up to me and handed me a small box.

"Open it." She said.

I opened it and saw two blue garters; one to keep and one to throw. I blushed. Everyone else laughed. I put the bottom garter of the set on my right leg and put the other in my purse for safe keeping.

We made our way to the double doors of the entrance. My mother went in to start the music and to take her seat. The music started. Lissa went first followed by the bridesmaids. Now it was my turn. I took Abe's arm and we started walking. I kept my eyes on the floor so I didn't trip. When we were almost at the altar I looked up and saw Dimitri. He looked handsome. He had his hair tied at the nape of his neck. . He had a tux on. The tie and vest was a dark blue color. The groomsmen and best man wore a tux with a blue tie that was a different shade from Dimitri's.

We said our vows and kissed. The guests made their way out to the gym to have our reception. Mean while, Lissa and Mia pulled me away to get changed into a different dress for the reception. I had a dark blue one shoulder dress on and black heels. Before we left I gave Mia back her bracelet. Lissa went in to get the guests attention and then I saw Dimitri. He was still in his tux and everything.

"Ready, Mrs. Belikov?" He asked with a smile.

"Ready, Mr. Belikov." I answered.

Then we heard Lissa announce us.

"Now, introducing for the first time; the newly married couple. Mr. and Mrs. Dimitri Belikov."

We walked in and everyone applauded and took their seats. Lissa handed Dimitri the mic.

"Thank you for coming to the wedding and this reception to share this wonderful day with us. I hope you enjoy the meal and party." He turned off the mic and put it on the DJ table then came back to sit with me.

We ate first. While we were eating I took the time to see how everything was set up in the gym. I noticed that it barely looked like the gym anymore. There was a big space for the dance floor and a make shift stage for the DJ. Before we had our first dance Lissa gave her speech and toast. Every one congratulated us and then Lissa started it all.

"I hope everyone's done eating cause now it's time to Party!" She shouted.

Everyone whooped and cheered.

"Now to start it off we need all the single and unmarried ladies to gather in the dance floor for the bouquet toss. Now Rose I-" She was cut off by Adrian. He took the mic from her hand which caused her to put her hands on her hips and have a mad expression. It was funny.

He nudged her into the crowd of unmarried women. She huffed and walked there.

"Now as Lissa was saying Rose could you please come up here?" He asked.

I nodded. I stood up carefully with the help of my husband. I made my way there and Adrian handed me my bouquet. I saw Mia and Juliet in the crowd too. I turned and threw the bouquet. I turned to see who caught it and sure enough it was Mia. I smiled at her and she blushed and smiled back.

"Ooooh, Mia caught the bouquet. Looks like your next!" Adrian asked while winking at her. She turned redder and looked away.

"Alright, alright, next is the garter toss. Will all the unmarried men out there come to the center of the dance floor?"

Almost all the guys in the gym ventured over. Lissa put a chair on the stage and gestured me to sit down. Dimitri came up in front of me and kneeled. In the background you could hear cat howls from the guys' including Adrian on the mic. Dimitri went under my dress. I could feel his breathing and teeth on my leg. He was nipping at my leg on purpose. Finally I could feel him bite down on the garter and moved it down my leg. Once he finally got it off my leg, he turned around and threw it into the crowd. I could see that he was aiming it at Eddie. The expression on his face was priceless to say the least.

"So the next newlyweds seem to be Eddie and Mia!" Adrian asked.

There was cheering all around. Mia seem to be as red as a tomato and Eddie just laughed.

"Alright Alright it's time for the father to have his dance with his daughter."

Abe made his way to us and we share our father-daughter dance.

"So kiz how do you feel?" he asked.

"I feel happy and complete." I answered dreamily.

About a couple minutes later Dimitri took me back and we danced after a couple of moments Lissa and Christian joined in followed by everybody else. I laid my head on Dimitri's shoulder while we were dancing and sighed dreamily.

"Are you alright?" Dimitri asked me lowly.

"I'm fine. Everything's perfect." I answered

And we continued to dance until we had to leave to rest for the night.

End of Flashback

I smiled remembering our wedding. I closed my eyes and took a nap with a smile on my face. Dimitri looked over from the window and kissed my forehead.
