Chapter Ten: Big White Wedding
Natalia
Today is my big day and I am completely freaking out with Calleigh practically yelling at me to calm the fuck down.
"Calleigh, please help me to calm down." I said.
"Okay. What helped me was I thought of the first moment Horatio and I had together alone. Oh, and it helps to breathe once in a while too."
"You are such a smart ass but thanks. I feel a tiny bit more relaxed now."
"That's what I am here for."
Calleigh
I am the oh-so-lucky maid of honor for Natalia.
Trust me, she looked gorgeous in her wedding dress. It made her look so divine and beautiful.
Now, if she would quit worrying, everything will be perfect.
"What if he says he does not want to marry me?" Natalia asked spontaneously.
"Do you honestly think he will back out now with his and your entire family sitting out there watching you both say your vows to each other?" I answered with a question.
"He might…"
"Do I have to go and get Ryan?"
"No but-"
It was too late for here to finish her question, statement, or protest. She had asked me that "what if" question at least five times already.
"Ryan, come with me." I said.
"O-kay…? What is it, Cal?"
"Just follow the blue dress."
When we got outside the door of the room where Natalia was sitting in, I turned to Ryan and told him to put a bandana over his eyes so he could not see his fiancé yet.
"Ryan, Natalia has a question for you." I said.
He said, "What is it honey?" without realizing he was facing the wrong direction. Its not like I was going to tell him that he was talking to a chair.
"Um…Ryan. Turn around." Natalia said.
"Oops. I am sorry."
"Its understandable…"
"Your question?"
"Well, I am sort of freaking out at the moment and I want to know if you really do love me."
"Of course I do. What would make you think any different?"
"I guess it could be because of my previous marriage."
"Natalia, honey, I am nothing like Nick. I promise."
"Ryan, Horatio is calling for you. Come on before he has a heart attack." I said.
Ryan chuckled slightly and I added, "No pun intended."
I guided him outside of the room and took the bandana off his eyes.
"Smile, please."
Ryan gave me his silly grin and left to see what my husband wanted.
I deliberately asked, "Are you relaxed yet?"
Natalia replied with, "Yes I am."
Anya Boa Vista (Natalia's Younger Sister)
After the Wedding
Seeing Natalia in her beautiful, flowing dress almost made me want to cry happy tears for her. I am so glad my sister has finally found somebody she wants to spend her whole life with.
I walked up to my sister and said, "I am very happy for you, Natalia."
"Thank-you, Anya."
"Promise you will keep this one?"
"Ha. I promise."
"Good because if you keep this up, you will have a wedding band for each finger real quick."
"Whatever, goofy."
"I am serious!"
"I'm sure you are, Anya. I'm sure you are."
Natalia
I never actually realized how many people care about Ryan and me until today. The hall where our reception was held at was packed full. It reminded me of a nightclub.
"Congradulations, Mrs. Wolfe."
"Thank-you, Mr. Duquesne. I am glad you could make it."
"Don't mention it."
My mom, Laura, and father, Stephen, came up to Ryan and I and hugged us so tight, we could barely breathe.
"Can't. Breathe." Ryan and I said in unison.
"Sorry. I am just so happy…" my mom said, crying.
"Take care of her, Mr. Wolfe." my father sternly said to Ryan.
"I will take care of her better than myself."
A/N: I swear H will have a heart attack one of these days...
