Lilly's heart didn't seem to stop pounding the next morning, even as Christina was styling her hair. Already her hands were shaking while trying to apply some lipstick, before trying to set it down but in the process knocked her whole makeup bag onto the floor.
"Crap," she muttered, just as Christina placed the blow dryer on the counter. She then went ahead and picked up all the makeup from the floor, noticing that some of it could no longer be used anymore. However, Christina now handed her a bottle of water," Just breathe Lil, this is a good thing."
Letting out a sigh, Lilly took a couple of sips," I've never been this nervous before," as she studied her reflection in the mirror, while watching her sister continue styling her hair. Already, Christina was doing a good job at that, and her makeup as well.
After that the two headed down there, and into a room which was reserved for Lilly. That was where Lilly changed into her wedding dress, while Christina changed in another room before slowly re-entering the room, " It's just me," she said softly, before noticing just how beautiful her sister was ," You look absolutely beautiful Lil."
Indeed the dress was strapless with tiny bead sequins handing on the ends, complete with a set of high heeled white shoes, which match perfectly with it. Lilly now looked in the mirror, studying herself now in her wedding dress. Her hair was down and curled, before turning around," You look great Chris," as the two hugged each other softly before Christina now did some touching up on both her makeup and hair.
Outside, people were slowly took their seats on the chairs. It was a beautiful warm, sunny day outside, just perfect. Over where they were to be married under, multicolored roses hung down. Of course that was Christina's idea to have that.
Scotty could feel butterflies in his stomach, while drawing in several deep breaths. It was getting pretty close to the time that the ceremony would be starting. While he waited outside, inside Paul slowly made his way into the room; seeing his eldest daughter all decked out in her wedding dress.
Lilly nearly took his breath away; the same as the day that she was born," Your beautiful," he said, looking at his beautiful daughter," I can't believe that your getting married," as his lips curled into a smile.
"Dad your crying," seeing that indeed he was," I never seen you cry before."
Paul was crying out happiness for her, as he now opened up a small jewelry box, inside was a small diamond heart necklace, " I bought this for you when you were born," before clasping it around her neck.
Lilly now was crying as well, before hugging him Indeed today was an emotional one" I guess we better head down there."
Once they were outside, the music came on signaling her arrival. Everyone now stood up, as Paul now slowly began walking his daughter down the aisle. At the end of it, Scotty was breathless seeing Lilly in her wedding dress. To him she looked so breathtaking; he couldn't take his eyes off of hers for a single second.
Once Lilly had arrived at the end, the two now faced each other since they were going to say their own vows; instead of the traditional ones. Scotty then took her hand," I promise to always protect you not only as my partner but as my wife. You always have meant so much to me Lil; do you take me to be your husband and partner?"
Lilly nodded," I do," as she slid his wedding band down his finger. Through her tears of happiness, Lilly managed to speak, while Celeste rolled her eyes constantly as she frowned," Ten to one their marriage won't work out," she mumbled softly so that only her husband could hear her remark.
"Quiet Celeste," Paul warned, as he heard his wife continue to mumble things out.
Although the couple didn't hear, Celeste's harsh putdowns, instead Lilly now spoke," I promise to be the wife that I know that I can be. To protect you not only as my husband and friend but as well as my partner. I love you so much, you mean everything to me."
Scotty now held her wedding ring in her his hand," I do," as he spoke to her in Spanish; hearing her response before slipping the ring onto her finger. At that time, they were both pronounced husband and wife. The two now shared their first kiss together as husband and wife, it was slow and romantic as everyone cheered and clapped for them.
Much to her surprise, Lilly was carried up the aisle and into a room that been reserved for them. It gave them some time before entering the hall, for the first time as a married couple.
"I love you," she murmured softly, giving him another kiss, their hands remained on her stomach; sharing the joy of having a baby as well.
Scotty could sense that something was bothering her," Don't let Celeste get to you, I heard her remarks right before you walked down the aisle. This is our day Lil," giving her another kiss.
Once the two walked into the hall, everyone clapped for them as Scotty led her over to their table. The band was playing soft music, while the waiters began serving drinks and handing out menus," Some place huh?"
"Yeah," Scotty replied as the two now sat closer together as they posed for some pictures. Soon after the couple heard their wedding song beginning to play, as Scotty now led Lilly onto the dance floor. Indeed it was the same song that had been playing in the car, on the ride home from Louie's wedding.
Lilly gazed up into her husband's eyes, seeing the love in his eyes, knowing now why he always thought of her during this song; Wonderful Tonight. As they continued to dance, Celeste rolled her eyes," He'll leave her, guy like that," as Paul now shot her a look," I don't see why she even loves him, clearly he doesn't."
Halfway through the song, Lilly now placed Scotty's hand onto her stomach," Twins," she mouthed softly, seeing his reaction.
"I love you," he mouthed back.
After their first dance, she then danced with her father. He couldn't help but to smile, throughout the entire song. Soon after Christina then joined them, yet it was emotional for him to be dancing with both of his daughters.
Everything was watching them except for her squad, whom was still discussing something about a current case they were working on. Vera was whispering loudly, about some suspect. Kat was trying to shush him while shooting daggers at ADA Bell, "You do know were at a wedding?" she whispered.
"Yeah, yeah," Vera mumbled.
Shortly after the dance was over, the food now was being served. Paul now came on stage to propose a toast to the newlywed couple," I just want to toast Lilly and her husband a long and happy marriage, filled with love. She has chosen a man that can protect, cherish and love her in the many years to come."
Then Ramiro spoke in Spanish, wishing the couple the same. Lilly already adored her father in-law, and mother in-law as well, who were both very good to her. Scotty now got on stage as he glanced over at his wife," Lil and I have known each other for seven years but she's not just my wife but my best friend. I once had saved her life, because I protected her when she needed me the most. Every day that I'm with Lil, I feel complete. We're also expectin twins, Lil's three months along."
Everyone now clapped, as Lilly now came closer before Scotty bent down to kiss her stomach; twice. It was a moment of happiness, before they shared several kisses.
Then everything went from good to bad, once Celeste had started in again. With the booze flowing, a fight now broke out, but brought up some not so nice stuff about her mother as well.
Celeste then mentioned something which made Scotty now led his wife outside, where he held her close near a few gardens surrounded by roses," I love you, I don't care what she thinks or says." Lilly now breathed in his scent, needing him right now, "Ellen gave me you, that's means a lot to me."
For a moment silence surrounded them, until she let herself relax. After awhile, the two came back in while people were dancing on the floor. She even noticed that her father was dancing with Rosa, before Ramiro now led her onto the floor. Lilly smiled while dancing with him to a song that he wanted to dance with her to.
Afterwards, it was time to cut the cake, which had on top a bride and groom dressed like detectives, one was even holding a miniature case box. Trouble now ensued, as fight broke out as Christina now pushed Celeste hard as she fell directly onto the cake.
"I think we both got out wish," Lilly said, kissing her husband. Scotty chuckled softly, before seeing Paul pulling Celeste up as he ushered her to the bathroom. Everyone was still laughing about it, when while they were eating the other various assortment of desserts.
During this, Lilly now stood up, as every single woman in the woman stood behind her. Somehow the bouquet just happened to hit her sister in the head," Damn it Lil," Christina said reacting to being hit before picking up the bouquet, before being knocked to the ground by ADA Bell whom had tripped and fell over something, " Get hell off me!" she yelled.
When the wedding was finally over, the two now got into the limo. Lilly then snuggled up against her husband's shoulder, as they finally were able to relax again. Once they were back at their apartment, Scotty was feeling miserable with a bad headache as he changed and laid down, while Lilly changed before making herself something to eat.
Indeed today didn't go without disaster but yet it was memorable. Tomorrow night they were leaving for their honeymoon, which would also have a series of problems or so they thought.
