Disclaimer: I don't BTR
Here it is! The wedding scene! and I also stuck to my Saturday updates like I said :). I don't think this chapter is the best, but hey you guys can judge that. I don't really know how weddings go either since I've never been married so just bare with me.
In this chapter... The wedding of the century!
Enjoy :)
Carlos' POV
"We have 30 minutes!" Jett exclaimed, speed walking through me and Kendall's dressing room.
I can't believe it's finally here. Our wedding day! In 30 minutes, I'll be walking down the aisle to marry my Logie. Who would've thought that this is where I would be today. Just 9 months ago, we weren't even gay (at least we didn't realize it), now look at us.
I smiled as I put adjusted my baby blue tie that blended perfectly with my blue vest and white tux jacket.
"How does it look?" I asked Kendall.
"Amazing, how about me," he did a pose.
"Perfect," I gave a thumbs up.
I was jealous of James and Logie's colors. Kendall and I are wearing white and blue, while they are wearing black and blue. I guess it's typical for the bride to wear white (and I guess we are considered brides), but I like the black and blue mix better.
"I'm so nervous," I said. "And this suit in uncomfortable."
"It'll be fine 'Litos," Kendall reassured.
"You don't have cold feet?" I asked.
"Just a little, but it'll be fine."
"I'm not worried about the being married part, it's just what if something goes- ow!" I stopped.
"What's wrong?" Kendall asked.
"Nothing, just felt a sharp pain in my abdomen…"
"Do you think it's the baby?" Kendall asked alarmed.
"Not today it isn't!" I snapped.
"Seriously, do you think it's that?" Kendall asked.
"No, I think its Braxton Hicks. I still have 2 weeks and I haven't felt any of them yet, so…"
"Well, babies are considered full term at 38 weeks," Kendall pointed out.
"Not helping," I glared.
"Just let us know if something goes wrong," Kendall said.
I nodded and decided to change the subject. Those were just Braxton Hicks, they were pretty faint. Real labor is stronger, that's what Dr. Martin says.
"I wonder how they look," I said.
"I bet James looks so cute in his tux," Kendall said.
"It's awkward that there's a pregnant couple and a regular couple," I said.
"Oh yeah, you and Logan are both noticeably pregnant," Kendall said.
"Thanks, Kendall…"
"Just callin' it like I see it," he smiled.
I smacked his arm playfully and sat down on our couch that was provided. The balcony was open, so I could feel the breeze from the beach coming in. That's right, a beach wedding. At first I was against the idea, but I realized that I'm insane for not wanting a beach wedding and blamed it on hormones, then agreed to it.
I started to feel rapid kicks in my stomach. This is not the time.
"Come on! This isn't the time to do flips," I snapped at my stomach.
Kendall just stared at me, then he thought about it. We just started talking about how our new lives will be until we were called into our little waiting area. 15 minutes later. My dad was there to be the escort for us. I smiled as I saw them.
"You look great mijo," Dad said.
"Thanks, Papi!" I smiled.
"You look great too Kendall," he smiled.
"Thanks, Officer Garcia," Kendall smiled back.
I peeked through the canopy flaps and saw every that was there. On the left, Kendall and I's family was there. I saw my mom, Katie, Camille, the Jennifer's and a bunch of other guest on our side.
On James and Logan's side, I saw Lucy, Gustavo, Kelly, and Jett just sat down. Of course there were the others of our extended families, but no one has time for lists. Our parents were a part of our processional.
I smiled as I looked around to all the people that came just for us. Everyone is so supportive and loving.
About 15 minutes later, the processional started. "Spring from the Four Seasons" began to play and the audience stood. The minister was the first person I saw, leading the line. Behind him marching was James and Mama Diamond, linking arms, then there was Logan and Mama Mitchell linking arms. They really did look amazing. Behind them was Mama Knight, and then lastly was my mom. Tyler (who was ring bearer) followed behind, and my little 3 year old cousin Hope, was our flower girl.
Logan and James each went to one of the two wedding arches. Our mothers sat down, along with Tyler and Hope. I didn't even realize it was our turn until Dad linked his arm with mines and Kendall's with his other.
I felt that pain come back in my stomach, slightly more intense, but I ignored it. We looped around and stood at the end of our aisle. This was my first time taking it in, and it looked amazing. The aisle was white, made of fine silk and the pink flower petals that Hope spread added a nice touch.
Each of our arches was heart shaped, but looked more masculine than feminine. There were birds flying in the background and the wind was blowing perfectly. On top of that, everyone looked amazing.
Logan and James smiled at us and we smiled back and we began to walk down the aisle, along with the music. It was taking forever, but we have a set pace and it's not like I was nervous in front of everyone.
Eventually, we made it down the aisle, where Papi let go of our arms and we took our sides. Once there, I held hands with Logie and we smiled at one another, lovingly. Our officiant started talking, breaking our gaze slightly.
"Friends and family, we have been invited here today to share with Kendall Knight and James Diamond, and Logan Mitchell and Carlos Garcia, a very special moment in their lives. In the time they have been together, their love and understanding of each other has grown and matured, and now they have decided to live their lives together as spouses," he opened.
The officiant then called Camille up to read a poem for us. She walked up slowly, but swiftly in her beautiful red dress. She smiled at me as we made eye contact and I smiled back. She cleared her throat then she began to speak.
"This poem is called 'Love is a great thing' by Thomas á Kempis," she smiled. "Love is a great thing, yea, a great and thorough good. By itself it makes that is heavy light; and it bears evenly all that is uneven."
"It carries a burden which is no burden; it will not be kept back by anything low and mean; it desires to be free from all wordly affections, and not to be entangled by any outward prosperity, or by any adversity subdued."
"Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is above its strength, pleads no excuse of impossibility. It is therefore able to undertake all things, and it completes many things, and warrants them to take effect, where he who does not love would faint and lie down."
"Though weary, it is not tired; though pressed it is not straitened; though alarmed, it is not confounded; but as a living flame it forces itself upwards and securely passes through all."
She turned to look at all of us before she read the last line.
"Love is active and sincere, courageous, patient, faithful, prudent and manly."
Yup, that last sentence hit hard. That was a nice poem. She smiled and blew us each a kiss before reclaiming her seat in the front row.
"A very touching poem indeed. Now, I just want to say a few words on marriage. I hope you four understand that the vow you are about to make is serious and you are creating a new life together and I want to make sure that you all know what you are getting yourself into," he said. "
We all nodded at him and I looked back and stared into Logie's eyes. He was beaming and so was I.
"Alright, Kendall, do you take James to be your lawfully wedded husband, to live together in matrimony? Will you love, honor, comfort, and cherish him from this day forward, keeping only unto him for as long and you both live?"
"I do," Kendall said smiling.
"James, do you take Kendall to be your lawfully wedded husband, to live together in matrimony? Will you love, honor, comfort, and cherish him from this day forward, keeping only unto him as long as you both shall live?"
"I do," James beamed.
"Logan, do you take Carlos to be your lawfully wedded husband, to love together in matrimony? Will you love, honor, comfort, and cherish him from this day forward, keeping only unto him for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do," Logie smiled shakily.
"And Carlos, do you-"
"I do," I interrupted.
"Okay then, We will now give way for wedding vows."
James started talking first.
"Kendall…my Kendall. I take you to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or worse, richer or poor, in sickness and in health , till death do us part. I love you Kendall and I always have, and you have no clue how great it feels to be here after 21 years of chasing after you. I love you so much," James sniffled. "I'm proud that after today, I can call you my husband."
I felt more pain in my abdomen, and visibly winced. Logie looked at me, worried, but I dismissed his concern with a look.
"Jamie…I do take you to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poor, in sickness and in health till death do us part. I never knew that one person could make me so happy. I love you so much and I can't see myself without you. From the moment you made that first move, I knew you were mine. I want to spend all my life with you and I will," Kendall wiped a tear.
There was various "awwws" from the audience and they beamed at each other. I smiled at my friends before turning my attention back to Logan.
"Carlos…What did I ever do to deserve you? I made so many mistakes and you still forgave me. I just don't understand, but I hope you understand that I love you more than anything and more than you can even imagine. I'm terrified of losing you, and I don't know what to do without you. I know for a fact that you're going to be an excellent father and we're going to be great parents and our son will grow up to be just like you, to model the man that I came to love with all of my heart," Logan smiled.
There was a lot more awws this time and I felt myself tearing up. I wasn't supposed to cry now. Okay Carlos, toughen up. I wiped my face and stared Logan in the eyes.
"Just 9 months…in 9 months so much has happened that I thought I wasn't prepared for, but I learned that I'm prepared for so much more than I thought and that reason is mostly because I'm doing it by your side. I love you Logan and we have a beautiful son on the way. He will be loved and we're going to share our love with him. I will never be able to forget the things you did you me, now and back when we were kids. You're the one that I love so much and I don't care about the mistakes in the past, I just care about now and the moment that I can call you my husband. Like I said before, in the past 9 months so much has happened that I thought I wasn't prepared for, but Logan you showed me the way, and the best thing that happened in that 9 months was me falling in love with you," I cried.
More awws, and Logan started to cry too. Kendall and James were smiling at us and I even think the officiant was wiping a tear or two.
"May we have the rings?" he asked.
Tyler marched up with both pillows that held each of our couples rings. The officiant collected the pillows and held them in his hands.
"May these rings be blessed so he who gives it and he who wears it may abide in peace, and continue in love until life's end."
James and Kendall went first. He walked their pillow over to them and James grabbed the ring first. He held Kendall's hand and slid the ring onto his finger before kissing it.
"With this ring, I wed you. Wear it as a symbol of our love and commitment," James smiled.
Kendall smiled back and repeated the process and the words, and then it was our turn. Logan reached for the ring and held my hand. He placed it on my finger slowly and smiled up at me.
"This is the ring I wed you by. Wear it, it is a symbol of our love and commitment," Logan recited.
I smiled and grabbed for the other ring. I slid it onto Logan's finger and recited the words.
"With this ring, we get married. Wear it and it shall be a symbol of our love and commitment," I smiled.
This is it. The moment where we are pronounced married and we seal it with a kiss. I can't help the butterflies of anxiety in my stomach, also the slight pain.
"By the power vested in me by the state of California, I now pronounce you married, you may kiss your husbands," he said.
That's it. James and Kendall leaned in for a kiss and we did the same. It seemed as if all time stopped as we leaned in slowly. Our lips connected and it wasn't rough, but sweet and so full of love. I still felt the sparks fly that did the first time we kissed.
We were still kissing when I felt the worst pain in my abdomen. I broke away and groaned loudly before clutching my stomach. The audience gasped and Kendall and James broke apart. Logan looked alarmed, but I just worried about the pain I felt.
Then it happened, I felt something pop, and then something gushed out and my pants leg felt wet and it dawned on me...I was going into labor.
