So I thought since there is only this chapter and an epilouge left I thought I would just post a little quicker than normal. So here is the start of the wedding day. I hope you enjoy this chapter.
1 year and 6 months later
Rumple had been pacing up and down the living room of 108 Mifflin street for what seemed like hours. They had been waiting and planning for this day for over a year now and finally it had arrived. Regina and Robin's wedding day. They had all ha a busy time and Regina had been stressed to say the least. Emma had named her 'bridezilla' and Regina had lived up to the name well. Rumple laughed to himself as he thought about the many arguments Regina had had with many people over wedding arrangements. Regina wanted everything to be perfect and she would let nothing stand in her way. Rumple liked that about his daughter.
Belle walked into the living room with a smile on her face. She greeted her husband with a peck on the cheek. He glanced down at his watch and sighed. If they kept moving at this rate they were going to be late. The mother of the bride and the brides maids hadn't even left yet. "If Regina ready yet? We are going to be late." Rumple said with a sigh.
"Oh the bride is never on time Rumple." Belle waved off.
"Cora, Emma and Mary-Margaret haven't even left yet. Robin, Neal, David and Henry will all be at the church along with the guests waiting." Rumple said in a slight panic.
"You know I think you are more panicked that Regina is and we all expected her to be on edge today. Especially with how she has been with planning this day but she is actually extremely calm. Nothing like she has been over the last year or so." Belle said.
Rumple was just about to reply when Cora walked into the room. She smiled at Rumple and Belle and poured herself some champagne. "Drink anyone?" Cora asked.
"Oh yes please." Bella replied with a smile.
"Drink? Are you serious?" Rumple asked with wide eyes as he looked back down at his watch. "The ceremony is meant to start in twenty minutes. We should be getting ready to leave." Rumple pushed.
"Oh Rumple everything is fine. It is not as if Storybrooke is a big town. I have a feeling we will be just fine. The cars aren't even here yet." Cora replied as she poured Belle a glass of champagne and passed it over to the woman. She then poured another glass and walked over to Rumple holding it out to him. "Stop panicking. Regina isn't panicking so there is no need for us to panic. When Regina starts panicking then by all means join her but right now there is no need to."
Rumple sighed and he took the glass of champagne from Cora. "I know your right." He replied. "I just want this day to go perfectly for her. She has worked so hard to plan it all."
"She has." Cora smiled. "And it will go perfectly."
Emma and Mary-Margaret walked into the living room wearing matching lilac brides maids dresses. The dresses were long and flowed down to the ground. The top of the dress has a lace covering and slim shoulder straps but as it flowed down the material turned to a simpler style. Emma wore her hair down and curled with a diamond hair clip pinning a little back while Mary-Margaret's short hair was styled with a diamond hair band. "Alright who is ready to see the bride?" Emma asked.
Everyone was excited to see Regina in her dress. She had kept it secret until today. Emma and Mary-Margaret stepped to the side to reveal Regina who was grinning from ear to ear as she walked further into the living room showing off her beautiful white wedding dress. It was nothing like her wedding dress when she was marrying the king. No it was completely different and it made it so much more special to Regina. The dress was simpler, clinging to her hips and waist accentuating her curves perfectly as it flowed down her body and to the floor. "What do you think?" Regina asked softly as she twirled round slowly showing off her dress. The back of the dress was open, showing off her back and adding what she felt was a classy but sexy feel to the dress. It was perfect to her. A lace topping over it added the small amount of detail that she needed. Her brunette hair was pinned up with a diamond clip and soft curls fell around her face and she wore light make up, nothing major, just enough.
"Oh Regina. You look beautiful." Cora gushed. She had tears in her eyes as she saw her beautiful daughter dressed for her wedding day. It was nothing like the first time. It was so different and Cora was happy because her daughter was happy.
"You really do look beautiful Regina." Belle said with a kind smile.
"Thank you." Regina replied. Regina then looked over to Rumple and she continued to smile as she saw her father was welling up at the sight of her. It was rare to see her father with tears in his eyes. He hid his emotions well. She slowly walked over to him. "What do you think dad?" She asked softly.
Rumple reached forward and he took Regina's hands in his. He brought one hand up and placed his lips to it. "You look amazing my princess." Rumple said softly. "Too beautiful for words."
Regina blushed and ducked her head down a little. "So you think this dress was the right choice?" She asked.
"It really was." Rumple said.
The moment was interrupted with a beeping of a car horn from outside and Cora rushed around grabbing Emma, Mary-Margaret and her bags, handing the two women there's. "That's our call." Emma and Mary-Margaret headed out to the car along with Belle and Cora walked over to Regina. "I will see you soon darling. You look beautiful." She said kissing Regina on the cheek.
"Thank you mother. See you soon." Regina said.
Cora quickly made her way out of the house. Rumple walked over to the window and watched as the women climbed into the car. He could see the other wedding car was outside. He waited for the first on to pull away and then turned round to look at Regina. For the first time he had seen her that morning she actually looked very nervous. He slowly walked back over to her and took her hand back into his. "Are you ready sweetheart?" Rumple asked his daughter.
"I…I don't know…" Regina stumbled out. "My stomach is doing flips." Regina said placing her other hand on her stomach.
"It's normal to be nervous Regina. This is a big day." Rumple replied.
Regina nodded her head, biting her lip a little. "I guess I just keep thinking about the first time round…you know."
Rumple nodded his head. "Robin is nothing like the king Regina. You will never go through what you did with the king ever again." He said determinedly.
"I know." Regina sighed. "I know Robin would never treat me the way Leopold did, I guess it's just always in the back of my mind, I know it's silly."
"It's not silly sweetheart." Rumple said cupping her face in his hand.
Regina took a moment, a few breathes. Steadying her stomach. She closed her eyes, took another deep breath and then opened them. "Okay. I think I am ready to go." She said. Rumple gave a nod and a smile and he reached over to the coffee table and picked up her bouquet of flowers and handed them to her. "Let's go get me married." Regina said with a determined look on her face.
"Let's go get you married." Rumple repeated as he linked his arm with Regina's and guiding her out of the mansion.
