My first ever Christian POV! So exciting :P Again, thank you Rose-loves-Dimitri :D

Christian POV

Prompt: Maid of Honour (part 3)

"Lissa," I said and tried to get her to stop pacing. "You really need to calm down."

"Calm down?!" she repeated, her voice an octave higher than usual. "How can I calm down, Christian? The wedding is in a couple of hours and there is still so much to do."

I got up from where I was sitting on the couch and walked until I was right in front of her, stopping her in her tracks.

"Liss, stop," I told her. "You'll burn a hole in the carpet…and that's my job."

Lissa didn't acknowledge my joke.

"Okay," I told her. "Tell me what has to be done and I'll help you with it."

"Well, I have to go and collect the flowers, double check the numbers for the meal later on, make sure the minister's arrived and get Rose ready which is going to take a few hours anyway." She said, all in one breathe.

"Okay," I told her. "You go get Rose ready and I'll take care of everything else."

"Are you sure?" Lissa asked me, looking very much run off her feet.

"Yes, I'm sure," I told her and gave her a quick comforting hug.

"Thanks Chris," she said and left for Rose's room. Meanwhile, I made a mental list of everything I now had to do, and added checking on Dimitri to the end of that list.

A few hours passed, and all I wanted to do was sleep. But I couldn't – not yet anyway...maybe during the ceremony.

I was with Dimitri, and we were just leaving his room. He wasn't saying much, and I could see the nerves hiding inside him.

"Good luck, man," I told him, jokingly.

"Thanks," he replied.

"No, seriously, I mean," I told him, trying to loosen his nerves a little. What the man really needed was a good strong drink.

Dimitri rolled his eyes but looked grateful, obviously knowing that I was trying to make him less nervous.

We walked up the aisle, drawing attention from a lot of people. Of course Dimitri would; he was the groom.

We were barely at the top of the short aisle when Dimitri was attacked by his mother. I backed off and let him have his family moment.

So instead, I surveyed the room, wondering if there was a small corner or something where I could nod off during the service where Rose or Lissa wouldn't notice.

While I was still searching, music began to play, and my attention was drawn completely to the beauty currently walking slowly up the aisle.

She was wearing a long, pale pink dress and her beautiful blonde locks were pinned to one side. She was breath taking.

All thoughts of falling asleep vanished as she arrived at the altar.

Lissa gave him a beautiful smile and turned her attention to Rose, who had just reached Dimitri.

As the ceremony began, I patted my pocket, making sure that the engagement ring I had bought a few weeks ago was still there.

I was going to need it tonight.
