A/N I'm a terrible person and I apologize so I'm going to work my little behind off for you guys whom i love. So here I go...
Somehow Roux convinced me to get married in two weeks, against my better judgement. Alright so I knew exactly how he did it, purring in his damn accent and kissing me so persuasively. Sherry wasted no time in making me nuptially ready. We found a simple satin dress with a halter top. It was lined with black lace above the black satin ribbon at the waist-line. She found the "perfect" flowers and similar dresses for the wedding within a day of finding the dress for me. She literally took over everything. The time, the place, who was invited, the priest, the whole nine. I was in charge of two things, my vows and the cake(only because I asked). Roux had finagled to have his vows already written and walked away scot-free. Most days he worked and Sherry drug me to some stupid shop to make "decisions" she had already made.
The night before the wedding Sherry, along with a few other ladies, snatched me away from Roux. He laughed as they took me away whinning. They whisked me to Collette Blanc's house along the shore. I didn't really know her, but she seemed nice and courteous for a young widow. She along with Sherry and Emily Norton, a runaway English heiress, were going to spend the night and gussy me up in the morning. I happened to find that i liked both these women that i'd never really met before. Emily was a vibrant redhead who was a terrible romantic. She had come to fall in love and was happy to at least found someone in love. Collette was a sweet old soul with a bit of a dark side, I was soon to find. She enjoyed drinking and cursing when no one was around, she also enjoyed talking about abd having sex a lot. The river rats would love her.
We stayed up gossiping and talking well into the night until the preggo eggo passed out. I awoke the next morning to a fine frenzy. All three ladies were already awake and getting ready. Collette gave me breakfast while the other two ran around. Sherry did my make up while Emily painted my nails a shiny ivory color. Finally I got into the dress and realized that my boobs were even more gigantic than I thought. Roux was going to love this. They all wore simple Ivory satin dresses the same style. Collette had done my hair up into a twist and curled the stands over to the right. Sherry put diamond pins throughout my hair. Looking in the mirror I suddenly felt nervous. There was a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach and lips trembled.
"Are you alright?" Sherry asked grabbing the bouquets.
"Yeah." I said smiling at her. My stomach fluttered nervously, but I was exited and happy.
"Let's go." Emily said opening the door.
"We're not wearing shoes?"I asked just begining to notice.
"No, petite oiseau, you're getting married on the beach, on the sands." Collette said taking my hand. I followed them out to the warm sandy beach. It was just after sunrise and the sky was painted in pinks, grays, and oranges. A cool breeze sailed in from the north as we walked toward the trellis arch where the priest stood. I started to freak when I didn't see Roux. Sherry patted my arm reassured.
"He's walking down with Collette. Don't worry." she said.
"Okay." I said taking a deep breath and closing my eyes.
Roux and Collette walked first even though I wasn't allowed to see it. Then Charlie and Emily walked down the aisle and parted ways. When it was my turn my legs felt like jell-o and my feet were made out of lead. Sherry gently guided my down the way towards the man I loved. Seeing him with that look in his eyes warmed me inside and made my heart quicken. His eyes bared his entire heart and soul and there was no doubt that he loved me. It brought tears to my eyes. When Sherry gave me away my heart stopped.
"Scarlet, I can't promise tonever tke you for granted, nor to never get mad, nor understand everything you say or do. I won't promise to accept all your quirks, to let you be right , or always agree with you. I won't give you the moon or the stars but I will and have given you my heart and all that entails. I will never stop loving you. I will never go a day without telling you how much I love and need you. You are the only person I can't live without and the only one I refuse to live without. You not only have my heart, you are my heart." he said from memoryand put me to shame.
"There are no words to express how you make me feel. No one will ever mean as much to me as you do. You honestly complete me in ways I didn't know I was unfufilled. I love you as i have never loved anyone. There is no one else in this entire world that I feel safe and secure and loved with. You are the only one I'll ever love." was all i could think to say in return.
Moments later we were legally wedded and kissing and I was finally wearing the ring. It was a gold ring with a 2-carat square cut emerald with two half-carat square diamonds on either side. After the two of us were back in our house Roux took his sweet time undressing me and then hisself
