Chapter Eleven:
A/N It's the wedding day! Are you excited cause I am! Im so sorry it took me this long to update its been busy. Anyways enjoy!
P.O.V: Rose
I woke up to a banging at the door. Seriously I can't just call when I wake up on my own? I thought to myself.
I flipped over in bed to look at Dimitri who was still sound asleep. He looked so cute his lips were just barley parted letting out the slightest snore ever. Every muscle in his body was relaxed and there was just on little clump of hair that had blocked his face, I would have moved it but I didn't want to wake him. Another three raps at the door I guess I have to get that now.
I opened to door and there was Lissa she was already dressed for the day and looked like she had taken a shower, "What are you doing its seven?!"
"Exactly its seven, I should be asleep and keep your voice down I don't want to wake Dimitri," I said pulling her into the dorm.
"I'm not staying long I just wanted to make sure you were at Sonya's in an hour so we can start getting ready."
"Really? An hour?"
"You're the bride suck it up and be there," Lissa said as she left. Okay well I guess I'm going to have to get ready to go. I took a shower and got dressed in a pair of sweat pants and a t-shirt. After that I decided I was going to need breakfast so I had to wake Dimitri. I went to the kitchen and got some ibupropben and a glass of water. I set them on his bedside table and crawled back into bed to wake him. I brushed his hair out of his face and he gave a tired moan, "Hey, It's time to wake up comrade."
"Ugh.. Do I have to?"
"Yes because your bride is hungry and can't fend for herself," I joked and this made him chuckle.
"I believe you know how to scramble an egg, Roza," Dimitri said pulling me towards him.
"I do but you make them so much better. Please. Look I got you some pain killers and water for your hangover."
"Fine but only because I love," he said getting out of bed and taking two painkillers.
"Yay!"
"How long have you been up? You're already dressed and everything?"
"Ya, Lissa came over here like a half hour ago and told me to go to your sister's room at eight so that's what I'm dong."
"Why so early it's not going to take any effort to make you look beautiful for the wedding so I don't get it."
"Well that was very sweet but when you get married there is a standard the bride has to meet on the way she looks," I explained kissing him on the forehead. "Now go hop to it I'm hungry."
Dimitri gave a little salute, "Yes ma'am." And he went to go cook my breakfast. I ate and then left to go meet the girls so I could go through five hours of torture for one party.
All the girls took a different part to fix. Karolina got my nails, Lissa did my hair, Vikka did my makeup and Sonya and Olena just kept crying and saying how they never thought this day would come. One time I had to go to the bathroom and they made me wait a half hour so that my nails would dry. After four and a half hours of this they were finally finished.
"Alright well I think were almost finished all you have to do now is put the dress on," Lissa said a little too excited.
"That's not exactly all we have to do, "Olena chimed in, no one knew what she was talking about.
"What do you mean," I asked. "We have everything taken care of, all I have to do is walk down the aisle and say 'I do'." Olena nodded, "That's all you have to do but there is something that I have to do." She walked over to the table and grabbed a box. "Rose do you remember when I told you the story about Hunter?" I nodded. "Well I left one thing out a little detail. A couple of weeks before he proposed he bought me these," she motioned to the box. "They make a complete set once the ring is with them." Tears were in her eyes as she handed me the box.
I opened it to see a necklace with a gold chain and a big ruby hanging from it. There also was a pair of earrings they were dangle earrings that had three small diamonds that grew bigger and ended with a ruby. They matched the ring perfectly they took my breath away.
"This is your something old. I'm giving them to you."
"Oh no I can't except something that means so much to you, Olena."
"Look at me," she put her hands on either side of my face. "Yes these mean a lot to me for the reason that you are assuming but also because a few years after Dimka was assigned to Ivan I was going through my things when I came across these pieces. I decided at that moment that I would give these to the woman that Dimka falls in love with and marries. Now, granted I never thought this day was coming because he was so dedicated to his work, but that just shows even more how much he loves you. I gave him the ring and told no one of these pieces. I always thought that you could give it to your daughter but this was my part. I will not take no for an answer. This means a lot to me Rose."
I was crying at this point and Vikka said how happy she was she used waterproof makeup if I was already crying now.
"But I will never be able to give you a granddaughter that this can be passed down to. Don't you have any resentment towards me for that?"
"No, sweetheart. I would love for Dimka to have kids because I knew that's what he wanted, but I see how happy you make him. If he is happy enough to go into this marriage knowing that he will never have children.. Well than I am happy for you. Rose, after Dimitri beat up his father he has put it on himself to protect us and everyone he cares about. It took the happiness. I never saw him smile after that day, until he came home with you next to him. He couldn't stop smiling and that is what I always hoped he would find. I will never resent you. I love you because Dimitri loves you."
I wrapped my arms around her, "thank you so much. I love your son more than anything in this world. Thank you for treating me like I have been in your family forever."
"Well that was sweet." I turned around to see Dimitri leaning against the door frame.
"You look beautiful, Roza."
"I'm not even dressed yet."
"So what you still look beautiful." We walked towards each other and I was in the arms of my love in a matter of seconds only to be pulled from him.
"No seeing the bride on the wedding day, Dimka. You don't want to mess with me on this one," Karolina said with a finger in his face. By that time I was behind all five of the girls so that Dimitri couldn't see me anymore and I couldn't see him. Just then I hear my mom's voice. "Guardian Belicov you are not supposed to be here.' She said. I couldn't hold myself back I ran towards her and wrapped my arms around her in a tight embrace. "Mom! You're here I've been waiting for you all day. Is dad here to?"
"I'm right here," I head Abe behind mom, Dimitri had left by this point and I went to go hug him.
"We have something for you it'll go for your new and you're blue." Mom said than turned to dad. "Where's the box Abe?"
"Right here," he pulled out a small box and took out a hair comb with light blue crystals in it shaped to look like a rose. It was beautiful.
"This is for you," Mom said taking it from Abe and putting it right above the side bun that was done earlier. "You look gorgeous."
"Again I have yet to put the dress on."
"Well let's fix that we have only five minutes before we have to be ready to start!" Mom was glowing at the thought of seeing my dress. I picked it out and told everyone that they weren't allowed to see it until the day of the wedding.
"are you ready to see the dress?" I asked headed to the closet to get it out, everyone was squealing yes and I was born readies. Abe on the other hand decided to leave at this moment.
"Ill see you in a few minutes kiddo," With that he left and I got the dress out of the closet. It was pure white that hugged my body and when it reached mid-thigh flared out till it reached the floor. It had a sweetheart neckline and the whole thing had a layer of white flowery lace that covered it. Only the lace bunched up to form two sleeves that just barely covered the tip of my shoulders and at the waist a white satin sash went all the way around and held a white rose on the left side. The second I set eyes on it I fell in love with it and knew it would be a hit with everyone else.
When I walked out of the bathroom with it on a gasp came from everyone.
"Oh sweetheart it is perfect," Mom was the first one to talk. She came up to hug me.
"It's nothing like I would have guessed but it is one hundred times better," Olena said and everyone agreed with both of them. After I got hugs from everyone and complements I told them that they had to go get dressed. The bridesmaids' dresses were simple plain red strapless that ended mid-thigh. Something that could truly be reused.
When we got into line for when we walked in we got handed out bouquets they all had eleven and not twelve roses in them because in Russia you send an odd number of flowers for something happy and an even number for something sad. Zoya was right in front of me she was wearing the cutest of dresses it was princess style with red tool on the bottom and the top was white. When we saw it I was told that it would take away from my dress but I didn't care she looked so cute in it.
Abe gave me his arm when the wedding march started. I took a deep breath and started to walk behind Zoya who was throwing down red rose petals. I looked around at the area. The venue we chose was the lake next to the cabin at the edge of the Academy's property. It had been transformed into a beautiful place. Chairs were lined and split in the middle forming the isle I was walking down. Underneath my feet was a white and gold rug sprinkles with red rose petals looked mesmerizing. At the altar there was an arch of white and red roses threaded together. I looked over to where Paul was standing in his tux looking all serious; he took his duties very seriously. Than my gaze locked on Dimitri. He was wearing a tux with a white rose pinned to it his hair was pulled up into a ponytail at the nape of his neck and a few hairs had escaped framing his face perfectly. He had the biggest smile on his face. Right at that moment I started sprinting towards him, when I reached him everyone started chuckling and I started to blush. Abe reached us and cleared his throat, "you were supposed to walk to the altar still at my side."
"Sorry dad."
"Its fine sweetheart," He turned to Dimitri, "If you hurt her I will break your kneecaps. That's a promise." Then he went to go sit in his seat. Dimitri and I turned to the priest he went through the whole boring shabam and when he got to the vows Dimitri was the first one to say his.
"Rose, when I first met you I was so dedicated to my job that I had accepted the fact that I would never have a family. I thought that there was something that I had to give up and the idea of true and unconditional love seemed so ubsurd to me that I gave it up. I figured that if it wasn't real the only thing I was missing out on was heartache. Then I saw you face and immediately you had me hooked. I would do anything for you, I would be anything you needed me to be. Nothing was going to take me away from me. At that moment I knew in my head that I was wrong for me to love you but my head was overrode by my heart. When you agreeded to marry me I thought it was the happiest day of my life but here we are and I feel a thousand times happier. When we decided that we were going to write our own vows I was so happy because in the traditional vows where they say 'till death do you part' well that dosent apply to us. We have cheated death to many times for that to mean anything to me. So Rose I prome that no matter what I will protect, love, cherish, care for, and respect you forever and even longer."
When dimitri finished I was crying that was the sweetest thin ever. I almost forgot that we were in the middle of a wedding until the priest turned to me, "Rose."
I cleared my throat ans whipped my tears and began. "Dimitri with everything that we have been through, together and apart, I have loved you. Through everything that we have go ne through you have been there holding me and telling me that everything will be okay. I didn't believe you some of the times but you always made sure that it was okay. You went through hell and beack just to make sure there was a smile on my face and you have told me that you would do it a hundred times over for me. I have search a whole country for you with absolutely no I dea where to start and I was ready to die if I had to. I would do that a hundred times over for you. I will do anything to make sure that you are protected and that nothing is going to happen to you. When you were my mentor at the academy and I asked you why we cauldent be together do you remember what you said? You told me that it was because if we were in battle you wouldn't jump infront of lissa you would put yourself infront ofme. You were trying to keep me away with logic but it just made me love you more. I vow that no matter what you will always come first for me, I will protect, respect, cherish and love you forever."
When I finished we said our 'I do's' and Paul waked up with a small red pillow. We both untied the rings and placed them on eachother's hands.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride."
Dimitri placed is hands on either side of my face and brought his lips to mine. It was a sweet intimate kiss that only lasted a few seconds.
After the ceremony we all went to the gym for the reception. On the way to the gym I went to go change my dress. I used the one that Dimitri had bought me for the night he proposed to me. We walked into the gym and we were announced as Mr. and Mrs. Dimitri Belicova. This made us both smile.
In the middle of dinner Paul stood on a chair and got everyone's attention.
"I was told that as the best man I had to give a speech. Now, I'm only ten so excuse me if it's not like most best man speeches." He turned to face Dimitri and me. "Roza when I met you I knew that you were someday going to be part of the family. I have only known Uncle Dimka for a little bit but I do know that he really, really likes you. He likes giving you kisses which I just find gross. You always want to play with me and talk to me. I told mommy once that if Uncle Dimka didn't marry you I would have to beat him up. I hope you visit us more and one day give me a cousin I can play with."
We all clapped, he walked over to me, "was that okay?" He asked me, I gave him a big hug and told him, "That was perfect."
After dinner people started coming up and congratulating us and talking to us. Before it ended the D.J. announced that it was time for the first dance. Dimitri took my hand and walked me to the middle of the dance floor. The band started playing Can't Take My Eyes Off You by Lady Antebellum. I let Dimitri choose the song so of course it was country, but I didn't mind because it described our relationship perfectly (A/N seriously if you haven't heard it you need to look it up it describes them perfectly).
"You look phenomenal, Roza,"Dimitri said spinning me around the dance floor. I laid my head on his chest. "I love you Comrade."
"And I love you Mrs. Belicova," he kissed the top of my head.
"I love the way that sounds."
"Me to."
YAY there married now=)
