Beck in italics
Beck and I are getting married today! We're at the church now, getting ready. Little baby Lucy is here too, I just hope she stays asleep, or at least quiet for all of it. Cat is my maid of honour, and believe it or not the Vegas are my bridesmaids. Yes, really. (Who else was I supposed to choose?) And they're actually helping. Even Trina. She's helping me with my dress and shoes, Tori's doing my hair and Cat my make up.
I love my dress; it's almost black. Beck and I stupidly agreed I wouldn't have a black wedding dress because we that would mean he wanted to wear a white suit and I said that was ridiculous. Instead it's really dark purple but it fades to white at the bottom. There's a cluster of silver gems in a diamond shape at my bust and they trail down diagonally in ones from the right to the left, to the bottom of the dress. The dress itself just skims the floor.
Trina brings my shoes over and places them in front of me. She holds my hands as I step in and she even does them up for me. They're simple, black strappy heels, but then I've never been the most 'showy offy' of girls…not in my clothes anyway. The heels are almost completely concealed by my dress so they don't matter.
Today I get to marry the girl of my dreams. People have always asked me why I love Jade. And there is no real answer. She's just…Jade, and I love her with all my heart. Andre interrupts my train of thought as he enters the room. He laughs
"What, dude?" I question
"Nervous?"
I tilt my head, confused.
"You're shaking." He smiles and nods at my hands. I look down. I am shaking. I laugh too.
"I guess I'm nervous." I admit. He sits down beside me, still looking at my hands, and chuckles again.
"How are you shaking? You were trained in the army to be a precision shooter!"
"I dunno man! Maybe because when it kicks in that you're gonna be spending the rest of your life with the woman you love, something you've been waiting near enough your whole life for, it gets you shaky." I smile and he smiles back. Then he claps me on the back and stands as Robbie comes in. He's brought my jacket for me and he puts it on me too. I think he can tell I'm nervous.
Tori's fixing my hair, she put it in curlers an hour ago and convinced me it would be better for my hair than using curling tongs and still look great. Now she's taking them out and I agree with her. Which is good because I threatened to chop all her hair off if she ruined mine, today of all days. I'm almost ready now. Tori lifts my hair gently to let Cat put my necklace on. It's my one of the matching ones Beck and I share. Trina's nipped across the hall to get Beck to wear his too.
Trina's just been across and told me to wear my necklace over my shirt. She put it on too, just to make sure.
I'm standing at the alter, waiting for Jade, my back to where she'll come through. And I'm still shaking.
I'm about to go out. I'm about to marry Beck. I can't believe this day's finally here! The music starts playing and I take a deep breath and start walking. Walking through the door I'm greeted by familiar faces, all smiling, and I can't help but smile too. Beck is there already, up the front with Andre and Robbie. They're facing away from me. Just as I think that, Robbie turns around and grins. Then he turns back and whispers something to Beck. I start to panic, is something wrong? But then Beck's shoulders shake a little, he's laughing. Good.
I hear the music starts to play and I take a deep breath. Jade's coming. Everyone behind me stands for her, I can hear them shuffle. I continue to face the front, so does Andre. But Robbie turns. A few seconds later he turns back, grinning this time. He leans across to me slightly and whispers
"Wait till you see her."
I grin too, and laugh a little. A few moments later Jade arrives next to me. She looks stunning. I grin at her and she grins back. The priest calls everyone's attention and begins his speech.
After what seems like forever, I'm asked if I take Beck. To have and to hold, to love and to cherish, in sickness and in health, for all time, until death do us part. Of course:
"I do."
Then he asks Beck
"I do."
Then we kiss and everything's perfect.
The End.
