Chapter 10
I was waiting at the end of the aisle. Intira, Pang, and Gavin had already began their walk being the ring bearer, and flower girls. Our ring bearer wore a black suit with a green tie, and the flower girls wore a brown dress made of different sections of material, each a different shade attached to a white dress. There was a dark section which went across their chest at the top and then the rest were different layers and shades of brown. On their feet they wore nothing but had brown ribbons criss-crossing up their legs. The girls also carried baskets of white roses with a green ribbons around it.
Bronte set off next followed by Fi. The two of them wore strapless green dresses with a white insert embroidered with flowers. They both carried a bunch of flowers that had green ribbons around them. All the flowers were a mixture of white and red roses. I was next to walk down the aisle my gaze focused on Lee. Homer and Kevin, the best man and Groomsman stood beside him, smiling from ear to ear. Though how Homer is Lee's best man I don't know…
Arm in arm with Mr. Yannos, I walked down the aisle to Lee. I was wearing a white dress and it just sat on the edge of my shoulders. I tied up at the back and it puffed out around the ground. It was rather pretty. Mrs. Yannos, Fi, Mrs. Maxwell, Mrs. Mathers and of course Bronte helped me choose it. It was hard to find a dress that didn't hurt my stomach which was still scabbed over. Lee, Homer and Kevin wore the same as black suits and green tie as Gavin.
I finally arrived at the top of the aisle where Mr. Yannos handed me over to Lee. Homer grinned at me. I just hope he doesn't decide to embarrass me!
"We are gathered here today to join Ellie Linton and Lee Takkam in holy matrimony." The minister began addressing the crowd. "If anyone has any objections speak now or forever hold your peace." He paused, shooting a glance at Lee. It made me think Homer had been telling him about the tissue box.
"Lee Takkam do you promise to Love Ellie Linton and care for her, for as long as you both shall live?"
He glanced at me with a smile on his face. "I do."
"Ellie Linton. Do you promise to Love Lee Takkam and care for him, as long as you both shall live?"
I smiled back. "I do."
The minister glanced at Lee. "I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride!" Lee leant in and kissed me, gently wrapping an arm around my waist and pulling me into a hug, carful to mind my bad side. A girl could get used to this!
