Today is the day. They day Erin got to marry the man of my dreams. Her best friend. Her partner. All she hoped was that everything went to plan.
Erin was standing in front of the mirror in a flowing white dress. Burgess and Hailey were doing the finishing touches, putting on her veil and finishing up her makeup.
Kim stepped back, "You look stunning Erin," she couldn't stop smiling.
Hailey nodded. "Yeh Erin, Jays going to be lost for words."
"Thanks guys, now stop with the heartfelt compliments I don't want to cry," she chuckled.
Hank walked into the room the girls were with nothing but a smile on his face, "Erin wow, you look, just wow," he paused for a minute, "Ladies give us a minute?" They nodded and walked out.
"Now look I know how much Camille would have wanted to be here on your special day. I know she wasn't your mother but she really loved you. So I want to give you these," he held up a pair of beautiful blue dangling earrings, "When we took you in and started to turn your life around Camille showed me these and said 'I wore these on our wedding day and seeings tho we don't have a daughter of our own I hope one day Erin can wear them' so as for something blue and something old here you go," he smiled and placed them in Erins hand.
"Hank I don't know what to say. Thankyou, they are beautiful," she smiled and a couple tears rolled down her face.
Hank wiped them away, "I'm proud of you kiddo," he pulled her in for a hug, "And I couldn't be any happier for you."
...
Meanwhile over at the tent all the boys where in, they were all drinking beers and prepping for speeches and trying to help with Jays nerves.
"Well you got further then me, heck I was engaged three times and never once made it down the aisle." Adam chuckled and shrugged his shoulders.
"Well thanks Ruze, I'm glad you won't be doing the best man speech." Jay laughed.
Jay constantly was looking at his phone, it kept going off. He was already nervous and this was making it worse. Will walked over to him, "How are the nerves man?"
"Good I think, I just hope I don't screw it up man," Jay said rubbing his hands together, you could tell he was nervous.
Will smiled, "Okay good. You won't, but tell me why you keep looking at your phone with a worried look on your face? You okay?"
"Yeh I don't know, it's Mouse. I have been trying to contact him for the last couple days because I wasn't sure if he was coming to the wedding. He wants me to re-enlist." Jay shrugged.
Will look at Jay shocked, "And?"
"I'm marrying Erin I can't even think about that right now," Will raised his eyebrows, he wasn't letting Jay put this off, "Okay look, when Mouse left and went back I was one hundred percent against it, but every other night I think back about the two of us. I just worry about him that's all. I feel like I should be there to have his back."
Just as Will went to speak, Hailey ran in nodding her head it was time. Jay walked out and stood at the wooden archway. Beside him he had his brother Will, Adam and Kevin. He just kept taking deep breathes. He had ran into so many buildings not knowing if he was going to get shot at or not and he was more nervous about this.
The music started softly, everyone stood up. First Hailey walked down, smiling. She walked up and winked at Jay she could tell her nervous he was. Next Kim, you could see the look on Adams face drop, she looked beautiful. Then Erin, she walked out with Hank on her arm. Jay whispered under his breath, "Wow." suddenly all his nerves where gone.
Voight walked Erin up to Jay passing her hand over. He shook Jays hand and pulled him in, "You done me proud kid."
The celebrant went through all the offical stuff, next they said their vows, exchanged rings and said I do. The celebrant then said, "Gives me great pleasure to now announce Mr Jay and Erin Halstead, Jay you may now kiss the bride." Jay grabbed Erins cheek and pulled her in, kissing her softly. You could hear everyone clapping and cheering.
