October 31, 2013 – Mel POV

I woke up in my room and rolled over in the bed. On Kevin's side, there was a bouquet of lilies and a note. To my darling Melody, Today is the day I have dreamt about for as long as I can remember. The day that I get to marry my dream girl and best friend. You. I can't wait to see you, dressed in white, as you become my wife. I love you today and forever, Kevin. I couldn't help but smile at the note. My door opened relieving Alice, Starr, Hope and Bella, who was 2 months pregnant. "Wakey wakey, sister." Starr said. I got up and showered. I was just wearing an old shirt and a pair of jeans till it was time to get dressed. Olivia did my make up while Starr curled my hair and pinned it back for the veil. After they were done, I snuck downstairs to get something to eat. "What are you doing?" Andy asked walking into the kitchen. "Getting something to eat." I said with food stuffed in my mouth. "Oh, very lady-like." He said, grabbing a pickle. "Bite me." I said. "Alright Alex. I got it." I heard Kevin say from the dining room. I ran into the pantry to hide. "Hello girls. What's my beautiful soon-to-be bride is doing?" Kevin asked. I heard Alice and Starr start laughing. "Well, okay. I'll leave so my bride can eat. Love you Mel." Kevin said chuckling. "Love you too." I told him. "You can come out sis." Andy said. I walked out and looked at the girls. "Y'all are mean." I told them and walked upstairs with my food. After a while, Alive and Starr came upstairs to put the dress on.

I went into Andy's room so I could have a straight exit to the patio then to the stairs that led down the aisle to my groom. "It's almost time." Alice said coming into the room. I felt like I was shaking. "Calm down sis. Kevin's waiting." Starr said. "And don't worry about Selena while you are on your honeymoon. We will watch her." Alice said smiling. I nodded. I was wearing a white strapless ball gown dress, with beading around the chest part of the dress and a white veil. I had a bouquet of pink stargazer lilies. Olivia and Starr were wearing a light sky blue chiffon tea-length dresses. Kevin, Leo and Start are wearing a black tux top and pants with a white under shirt, a light blue vest and tie.

"Ready girls." Andy said. "Yeah." I said. "Starr your first." Andy said. Starr walked out onto the patio. "Count to five then follow me." Alice said. I nodded. Andy turned to look at me. "Ready?" He said holding out his arms. "Always." I said taking his arms. We walked out onto the patio and stood at the step. "All rise." Carlisle said. Ours by Taylor Swift started playing.

Seems like there's always someone who disapproves. They'll judge it like they know about me and you. And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do. The jury's out, but my choice is you.

I looked at my daughter who was standing next to my sister, Starr.

So don't worry your pretty little mind. People throw rocks at things that shine. And life makes love look hard. The stakes are high, the water's rough, but this love is ours.

You never know what people have up their sleeves. Ghost from your past gonna jump out at me. Lurking in the shadow with their lip gloss smile. But I don't care 'cause right now you're mine.

And you'll say don't worry your pretty little mind. People throw rocks at things that shine. And life makes love look hard. The stakes are high, the water's rough, but this love is ours.

And it's not theirs to speculate if it's wrong and, your hands are tough but they are where mine belong in. I'll fight their doubt and give you faith with this song for you. 'Cause I love the gap between your teeth. And I love the riddles that you speak. And any snide remarks from my father about your tattoos will be ignored. 'Cause my heart is yours.

So don't worry your pretty little mind. People throw rocks at things that shine. And life makes love look hard.

And don't worry your pretty little mind. People throw rocks at things that shine. And life makes love look hard. The stakes are high, the water's rough, but this love is ours.

We got to the alter and I stood in between Andy and Kevin. "Who gives this woman to be wed?" Carlisle asked. "I do." I turned to Andy who kissed my forehead, then went to sit down. I turned to Kevin and smiled. "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the presence of these witnesses, to join Melody and Kevin in holy matrimony. If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together - let them speak now or forever hold their peace." Carlisle said.

"Repeat the vows please." Carlisle told us. "I, Melody, take you, Kevin, to be my husband, my partner in life and my one true love. I will cherish our union and love you more each day than I did the day before. I will trust you and respect you, laugh with you and cry with you, loving you faithfully through good times and bad, regardless the obstacles we may face together. I give you my hand, my heart, and my love, from this day forward for as long as we both shall live." I said. "I, Kevin, take you, Melody, to be my wife, my partner in life and my one true love. I will cherish our union and love you more each day than I did the day before. I will trust you and respect you, laugh with you and cry with you, loving you faithfully through good times and bad, regardless the obstacles we may face together. I give you my hand, my heart, and my love, from this day forward for as long as we both shall live." Kevin said.

"The rings please." Carlisle said. Mason handed him the rings. "Kevin, place the ring on Melody's finger." Carlisle said. Kevin placed the ring on my finger. "With this ring I shall wed." Kevin said. I place the ring on his finger. "With this ring I shall wed." I said. "By the power vested in my, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." Carlisle said. Kevin smiled at me and kissed me. I almost forgot everyone was there. "I now present to you Mr. and Mrs. Kevin Johnson." Carlisle said. Everyone applauded.

Onto the reception which was held outside as well. "Ladies and gentlemen, its time for the bride and groom's first dance." Alice announces. Kevin helped me up and led me to the dance floor. God Gave Me You by Blake Shelton started to play as Kevin spun me around the dance floor.

I've been a walking heartache. I've made a mess of me. The person that I've been lately ain't who I wanna be. But you stay right here beside me. Watch as the storm blows through. And I need you.

Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs. God gave me you for the days of doubt. And for when I think I've lost my way. There are no words here left to say, it's true. God gave me you.

There's more here than what we're seeing. A divine conspiracy. That you, an angel lovely. Could somehow fall for me. You'll always be love's great martyr. And I'll be the flattered fool. And I need you. Yeah!

Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs. God gave me you for the days of doubt. And for when I think I've lost my way. There are no words here left to say, it's true. God gave me you.

On my own I'm only half of what I could be. I can't do without you. We are stitched together. And what love had tethered I pray we never undo.

Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs. God gave me you for the days of doubt. God gave me you for the ups and downs. God gave me you for the days of doubt. And for when I think I've lost my way. There are no words here left to say, it's true. God gave me you.

"I love you, Mrs. Johnson." Kevin said. "I love you too, Mr. Johnson." I told him giggling. Everyone clapped and started dancing with us. Andy stole me from Kevin. I danced with him and Kevin danced with his mother. "I hope your happy daughter." Spike said. "I am daddy." I said feeling tears. "What's wrong?" Andy asked. "Thinking about mom." I said. "She's here sweetie." He said and pulled me close. "You don't feel the rain?" He whispered. It was mine and his joke. Whenever it rained, I thought mom was watching. When the twins died, it rained. When Ava died, it stormed. When Selena was born, it rained. When Rose was born, it rained. I looked up and felt a raindrop on my face and smiled. Then it started to rain. Everyone ran for the house to get out of the rain. I stayed there in the rain for a while. "Mel, you need to get inside." Kevin said. "No. It's my mom. She's here with us." I said. At first he looked like I was crazy, but then he grabbed my hand and started to dance with me. I couldn't help but smile. No one would have done what he did.

After a while, we went inside to pack for our honeymoon. Starr and Alice met me in my room and helped me change out of my now soaked wedding dress. "Don't worry. I will get it dried." Starr said. I was in my room and found the diary that I hid in my closet. I put it in the suite case. "Momma." I heard Selena yell running into my room. I picked her up and gave her a kiss. "Are you sure you are okay with staying here with Auntie Starr?" I asked her. "I'm sure momma. You and daddy need to spend time together." Selena said. I looked at her then smiled. She called Kevin her daddy. "Go see what daddy's doing." I told her and set her down. She ran out of the room. I just finished packing when Kevin walked in holding Selena. "Ready?" Kevin asked. "As well as I would be." I told him looking at Selena. We walked downstairs. Alice took Selena after kisses and a long hug from me. Kevin and I got in the car and drove to the airport.
