Beauty in Everything Chapter 26
omg... its like... over. tell me what you guys thought of my little story... xoxo love you all and thank you
AN: OKAY, so just a few warnings here, one, I have never been married and really, I'm not getting married any time soon so I'm just having fun with this wedding and how I imagined it. Two, I don't know ANYTHING about Islam religion, like at all, though I would be interested in learning, all I know is about BLUE, MY CHARCTER, who I've created to be kind and loving and accepting of her niece. So if this does not accurately represent the Islam practicing then I'm sorry but that's not the focus here, our girls getting married is, and all pearl wants is to have her aunt involved.

Pearl was a nervous wreck as she stood in front of the mirror examining her makeup and hair. In a mere fifteen minutes she was meant to walk out from the light house, where she and her honored attendees had gotten ready, down to the base of the temple to be married. Like, legally, binding herself to another human. She was ready, she did not feel as though she didn't want to do this, just that she wanted to do it so well that if she got a single aspect wrong it might mess up the whole event.
A quiet knock at the door startled her from her thoughts. "Who is it?" She called, though she didn't really believe in the myth of bad luck if she saw Garnet or vice versa, she didn't want to take any chances.
"Its me darling." She heard her mothers voice call out.
"Come in mother." She called back before turning back to look at her dress in the mirror once again.
She heard the door click open and then shut again moments later. Her mother walked up behind her and wrapped her arms around Pearls waist. "You look magnificent my love."
Pearls dress was long and white, with thin spaghetti straps and a deep v neckline. In between the v neckline was lace and all over the top half was small beading. The bottom half was thin tool and a small train. The back was low cut and showed off lost of her skin.
Her hair was pulled back into a classy low messy bun with curls forming the elegant bun. The front was parted slightly to the side with curls hanging off each side. Her makeup was light and complemented her blue eyes perfectly.
"Its time to head out my love." Blanche said as she grasped pearls elbow and lead her to the door, she grabbed Pearls matching shall and draped it over her shoulders. The beach in October would surely be chilly but they knew this is when and where they wanted it.
"Thank you mom..." Pearl smiled and her eyes watered when her eyes met with her mothers.

The beach was set up perfectly, wooded flooring had been placed in front of the temple. On the wooden floor were rows of chairs, made of the same rustic wood material. White pillars lined the isle with peach and maroon roses and white twinkle lights. Right at the base of the temple was the white wedding arch with sheer white fabric more twinkle lights and roses entwined around it.
Everyone was sitting down, friends and family, while Blue stood at the end of the isle waiting. Pearl had come to her asking if she would marry them, and though they didn't know much about her religion, they knew that Blue loved them and that if they asked, she would get ordained online like anyone else and marry them in the way that they wished to be married. Not religiously, seeing as neither Pearl, nor Garnet really had any solid belief system, but legally and with love.
Lapis and Jasper were the first to walk down the isle, the soft music playing in the background. Arms linked they walked down the beachy isle and both headed to the right side on the arch. Following them was Ameythst alone with her small bouquet of flowers. After Ame, Garnets friends made their way down the isle and stood to the left. Then Sky followed suit walking to stand next to Ameythst. Peridot marking the final of the procession. The music changed as they prepared for the arrival of each bride. Everyone stood then, as from around the corner Pearl and Blanche appeared. Her dress trailed behind her as they made way down the isle, slow steps and smiling. Blanche squeezed her arm tightly when she felt Pearls nerves flowing off of her. She made it to the end, to her aunt, and Blanche kissed pearl on the cheek before taking her seat in the front row. Pearl turned back to watch Garnet come next. A moment of pause came before Garnet and her mothers appeared from around the corner. She looked breathtaking as she strode down the isle, Sapphire to her right and Ruby to her left. Each mother donning a dress befitting of their names, Ruby a long red dress with off the shoulder sleeves, and Sapphire a long deep blue dress with a lighter blue fabric flowing over her arms. As they walked down the isle arms linked and smiling Pearl just looked at her bride to be, she was so beautiful it nearly took her breath away.
She wore a long legged jumpsuit, the legs hanging loose, the top a v neck with wide tank top straps, and a medium sized ribbon wrapped around her waist.
When they made it to the end each mother kissed her on the cheek, Garnet having to crouch down a bit, and then made way to sit next to Blanche.
"Welcome, friends and family, to this wonderful occasion." Blue started, looking around the crowded beach. "We are gathered here today to celebrate the love that these two young women share with each other. Love that I have watched blossom over time, from the moment they met, they shared a connection that I can't say I've felt more than once in my life. I know a lot of people would turn a celebration like this, into something religious, but I believe that weddings are a promise of love, and that no matter what traditions or religions you practice, you will love and support each other. So, I'm not going to draw this out too much more, all I have to say to you, is that I wish you all the happiness a person can have.
Without further adieu, Do you Pearl, take Garnet, to be your lawfully wedded wife, through sickness and health, for richer or poorer, for as long as you both wish?" Blue asked, looking to Pearl, who smiled and said, "I do."
"And Garnet, do you take Pearl to be your lawfully wedded wife, though sickness, though I suppose you already have, and health, for richer or poorer, for as long as you both wish?"
"Forever." She said softly.
They each placed a silver ring on each others fingers with tears in their eyes.
"Now I suppose you may kiss the bride." Blue said with a wide grin.
They leaned in for a soft kiss and everyone cheered. After the kiss they turned to face anything and walked back down the isle happily, smiles plastered to their faces.

The reception was equally as beautiful, people said toasts and danced and laughed, everyone loved it. Pearl and Garnet had their first dance to Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran, though not quiet as extravagant at the music video they did have a little dance planned together. For the mother daughter dance they used the song Because You Loved Me, Celine Dion. Pearl and Blanche had a whole dance planned out, they'd done it together, it was a nice stress relief for Pearl amiss all the wedding planning, where as Garnet and her mothers had opted for a simple dance class with simple steps.
As people danced, Pearl and Garnet sat at their table, holding hands and watching Blanche dance with Blue.
"I love you..." Garnet said, softly pulling Pearls face toward her own.
"I love you too, Mrs. White." Pearl said back kissing her softly on the lips.
