Chapter 35
The day of the wedding
Annie's POV
"Morning sweetheart. I made your favourite for breakfast. "
"thanks mom"
"I can't believe my baby is getting married" Annie said with tears pooling in her eyes.
"Mom I'm still going to be close. It's not like you'll never see me and you still have Sam and David"
"That's true."
"Mom you're gaining a son" Lucy said
"Thanks Luce"
"No problem. How are you feeling ?"
"I'm great. Where is everyone?"
"well dad went to church, Sarah and Mary are at home getting the kids ready, Bella's in the garage apartment getting ready" at that precise moment the doorbell rang " and that must be Maggie" Lucy said and went down to greet Maggie.
"Hey Maggie. How are you doing?"
"Hi Lucy, I'm good thanks you. How is Ruthie doing?"
"She's really calm. She'll be in the kitchen by now go right through. I'm just going to pop home and check on things over there."
"Hey Ruthie, Hi Mrs Camden, Lucy went home to check on something."
"Hi Maggie, Please call me Annie. Would you like something to eat?"
"No thank you Annie"
"Hi mom," both Sarah and Mary said as they walked into the kitchen
"Hi girls, do you want something to eat."
"No thanks Lucy sent me a text saying that she needed us immediately so we'll grab something to eat while we're there. Maggie why don't you come with us?" Mary said
"Ok sure."
"Well I'm going to take a shower."
At Lucy and Kevin's
"Hey Guys"
"Hey Luce, You summoned us?"
"Well I talked to mom about Ruthie having something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue."
"I can't believe we forgot about that." Sarah said
"I know, Bella asked me about it and I said that I'd talk to mom. Mom said that she'd take care of the something old covered and Bella said that she'd sort out the something new. We just have to sort out something blue and borrowed."
"Well I was planning on wearing this" Maggie said showing them a gold bracelet. "Ruthie bought it for me as a birthday present a few years ago. She can wear it "
"That's perfect and I guess our dresses can be the something blue."
"Great. Now that that's sorted we should probably start getting ready."
At the Camden's
"Mom is Lucy and the others back yet."
"Bella's in your room getting ready but the others aren't back yet"
"Okay when the get back can you get them to all come up here"
"Sure honey"
I walked into my room to see Bella almost ready and applying the finishing touches to her makeup.
"Hey Ruthie, how are you feeling?"
"Hi I'm really nervous but more excited than anything. If you know what I mean"
"Yeah I do. What's with all the noise?"
"Must be Lucy trying to tell my mom what needs to be done. That is not going to end well."
About a minute later they all came wandering into my room with Lucy looking rather annoyed.
"What was all that about" I asked Mary
"Oh you know Lucy being Lucy"
"Of course"
"Guys before I get ready I wanted to give you each something" I said as I walked into my closet and brought out the gifts that Martin and I had brought. We'd bought mom a baseball bat charm with Brewer engraved on it, Bella got a silver plated pearl bracelet with a stone set bow while the other bridesmaids got heart necklaces.
"Oh Ruthie, it's beautiful" they all said together
"It was my pleasure. Now let's get me ready."
"Okay. I'll do your make up if you tell me what you want, Mary and Maggie will do your hair and everyone else will get ready." Lucy said as she and Mary were practically ready already.
"Oh and before we forget. Here is your something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue, well that's us."
"Aww thanks so much, Lucy I want my makeup to be simple and Mary can you do m hair is curls. Bella please can you give this to Martin." She said and handed Bella an envelope and a small box.
"Sure" everyone set to work on their different task in order to get Ruthie ready.
At the Brewer's
"Martin is you okay" Matt asked
"Umm yeah. Just nervous"
"Martin you have nothing to worry about, she loves you. She always has. All of us Camden's love you too. Everything is going to be fine"
"Thanks I love you guys too. Where did Mac go?"
"He needed some air, he's outside"
"Okay, I'm just going to go see him."
Outside
"Hey beautiful, what are you doing here?" Mac asked Bella.
"Hey Ruthie asked me to give this to martin. What are you doing out here?"
"Oh okay. It's a little crowded in there, I just needed a minute."
"Oh okay, I'm just going to go in and give this to Martin"
"Last time I saw him he was in his room" Just as she was about to enter the house she walked into martin.
"Hey Bella, What are you doing here?"
"Hey Martin, I'm here to deliver something to you. How are you feeling?" she said as she handed over the envelope and box.
"I'm really nervous, How is she?"
"She's doing well. Almost ready"
"That's good. I better finish getting ready. Thanks for giving me this, I'll see you at the church."
"No problem, see you at the church." Bella said as she left. Martin opened the box first, and inside was the watch that Ruthie had bought him a long time ago but she had the words always yours, Ruthieengraved on it. He then opened the letter.
Martin, words cannot describe how happy I am when I'm with you. I love you so much and I can't wait to be your wife today and then we can finally start the rest of our lives together. I don't worry about anything because I know that as long as we are together everything will work out. The way mom and Lucy are behaving you'd think that they were marrying you, they both love you as much as I do. They are both so happy. Today is going to be perfect our family is going to ensure that it will be. I'll see you at the church, I'll be the one dressed in white. Martin remember that I love you with all my heart.
Love Your Ruthie,
"Martin are you ready. We need to leave. "
"Yeah dad I'll meet you in the car. "
