"Okay we have the dress, we have the makeup...wait WHERE ARE THE SHOES?" Amber panicked.
"Okay white ro- wait did you said they were yellow?"Joy questioned
"K.T, Willow, where did the shoes go?"
"Okay so they are white, that's amazing."
"Patricia be careful with that juice."
"It's fine...see it's all gone."
"Where are the boys?"asked K.T.
"They're in the den getting ready."Patricia replied
"Ed and Harry just got here now we just have to wait for Liam, Louis, Eleanor, Niall, Barbara, Zayn and Perrie."
"That's great make sure they get to see Neens before the ceremony."
"3 hours until showtime."Amber breathed
"Oh My Anubis."Joy yelped.
"Squee!"Willow hollered.
For the first time this morning, the girls finally had a chance to breathe.
"Now for the hard part, getting ourselves and Nina ready in just a few hours." Amber sighed.
"Yeah but you did plan this huge wedding in less than 4 months." Joy complimented.
"True. I'll go check up on the boys, you gals get dressed and then Joy and I can help with hair and makeup."
with the boys...
"Eddie stop pacing you're gonna put a dent in the floor."Mick said fixing Fabian's bowtie.
"Leave him be Mick, I mean you did see Nina last night didn't you. He's getting married to a she-devil." Jerome responded.
"Last time I checked, Jerry I'm not getting married to your girlfriend."
"She's not my-"
"So what was that you two were doing last night...alone...together...candlelight?"
"I mean, I was just kidding around, Nina's an angel. You're a lucky man Eddie."
"That he is. Nina's a beauty." commented Fabian.
"Yep and she's all mine, so don't get any ideas Rutter."
"Why are we here again? I thought we weren't in your wedding party." Eddie's brother Daniel asked
"Just in case Eddie gets any ideas about trying to sneak-a-peak at the bride." Alfie said not even looking from his game of Temple Run.
The door opened and all 7 heads turned to see who it was.
"How are you all holding up?"Amber asked
"Where is she I need to see her!"Eddie hollered but before he could progress toward the door Mick and Jerome grabbed him.
"Um we need some Osirian power over here." Jerome panted as he tried to hold back the stressed groom.
"Eddie, relax. You'll see her soon, like literally an hour and a half. Until then, i'll try and sneak you pictures not of her face or the dress but her none the less."
He eased a little. "Okay."
"Good now Jerome, Mick, I need you to help me with something."
"And that is?" Mick questioned biting into an apple.
"First, don't get anything on that suit. And second, follow me."
"Where are you going?"
"Omg, stop with the questions and just follow me." They reluctantly followed out the door.
"Do you think they're going to see Nina?" Eddie asked Alfie and Fabian.
"Definately."
"No doubt."
Joy's POV
"Oh my goodness Neens you look..."before I could finish a male voice finished for me.
"Amazing." she turned around along with the rest of us and saw her brother Nathan standing in the doorway.
I wish I had a brother like that. Being an only child sucks especially when you have a parent who is obsessed with immortality. Nina has a perfect life if you ask me. I wish my cruelty just was never a part of it.
Nina's POV
"Nate I'm so nervous." I say into the nape of his neck.
"I bet you are. But I'm just as nervous as you are, it's not every day you get to hand your little sister off to some other guy."
"But I am glad you'll be there with me."
"Me too...I'll miss you Nini-panini."
"I'll miss you too Nater-baker."
When we pulled apart I actually saw tears in his eyes. I wiped them away with my thumb.
"Remember, I'm just a phone call and a plane ride away."
"Always." I replied to him. Amber walked into the room, smoothing out her dress.
"It's time."
"Well, baby sis, here goes nothing."
Heart beats fast,
Colors and promises
How to be brave,
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of doubt suddenly goes away somehow
The song started to play as I walked into the ceremony. I remember the first day I met Eddie. Something about him just stood out to me. It was like I'd found a part of me that I never knew existed.
One step closer
Every time I saw him I wondered what it was that was so special about him. I wondered how could I feel so strongly about a person I'd only just met rather than Fabian who I'd been with for almost 2 years.
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid,
I have loved you for a thousand years,
I'll love you for a thousand more
Eddie's POV
Time stands still,
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave,
I will not let anything take away what's standing in front of me
Every breath,
Every hour has come to this
When I first came to Anubis, the one to catch my eye was Nina. She was pretty, radiant, she never put herself first. She was amazing. I could tell that something was different about her. First off she was the direct opposite from any of the girls I've ever dated, especially Patricia. She was a little trouble maker from the start.
One step closer,
I fell hard for her. For her beauty, her brains, her personality. Everything about her made me want to just run up and kiss her no matter the circumstances.
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid,
I have loved you for a thousand years,
I'll love you for a thousand more
That one thing thing the separated her from any one else...
That one thing thing that separated him from any one else...
She was made ...
He was made...
Just for me.
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
And I have loved you for a thousand years,
I'll love you for a thousand more
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today..."
One step closer,
"To sanctify the union of this man and this woman in holy matrimony.."
one step closer...
"We will know hear the vows that they have prepared."
"Okay, phew, this is pretty nerve racking."Eddie joked causing several people in the audience to laugh. "Nina Meridian Martin. I love you so much that I can't even put it into words for once how I feel. When we met I knew that there was something completely different about you. You were smart, kind, generous in-fact, and I can't imagine life without you. You're my everything. My little piece of home, that piece of me that knows what the right thing to do is, all the time...You're my chosen one." He squeezed her hand, his words causing her to smile like crazy.
"Well Eddie, to be honest, when I first say you, I had no idea that we'd be where we are today. You've proved to me time after time that you'd be there for me no matter what happens and I don't think I could ask for anything better. You are my light, my voice, you help me understand what my place is in the world...and I know that I can count on you to protect me through anything." He grinned his usual cheeky grin and looked at her eyes. They flashed a lightning-like blue as her smile grew wider.
"Anyone who does not approve of the unity of these two individuals, speak now or forever hold your peace."
The crowd was silent. This was the dramatic part of the wedding that everyone had waited to see. Would anyone step up to the plate?
"Alright then let us proceed. Edison Maxwell Sweet do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold for better or for worse, until death do you part?"
"Nothing would make me happier."
"And Nina Meridian Martin, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have an to hold, for better or for worse until death do you part?"
"Of course I do."
"Then I now.."
Hear it comes- thought Eddie
"pronounce these two.."
I can't believe it's finally happening- Nina wondered.
"man and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!- Willow yelled inside her head.
Eddie's POV
"So how does it feel to be officially off the market?" my little brother, Robert asked me.
"Well I get to wake up next to the most beautiful woman in the world for the rest of my life so honestly it feels pretty damn good." I squeezed Nina a little tighter, she smiled.
"So when are those Neddie babies gonna start popping out the oven?"Amber asked curiously.
"Amber!" Mara chastised.
"What?" she responded. I laughed at their bickering.
"That, is something the lady has to decide blondie "I mocked.
"Haha Eddie." she replied sneering at me.
"We'll have to get back to you on that Ambs." Neens simply stated.
Soon they all left to go stay at the inn in the nearby town.
"Hello beautiful wife of mine." I said into her ear as she stood looking out our bedroom window. She softy giggled as I wrapped by arms around her torso and kissed her neck. "Guess what."
"What am I supposed to guess."
"Why there is no noise in the house. Just listen...see. Silence."
"Yeah isn't it peaceful?"
"Sure is put you wanna know why?" I asked enthusiastically.
"Why Eds?"
"Because we're finally alone. Meaning..."
She turned quickly in my arms and pulled me even closer to her as humanly possible. "Then why don't we pick up where we left off?"
"Perfect idea."
