Chapter 15
The next few months went by pretty quick, with traveling and planning our wedding. I finally had a few days off where I wasn't having to make appearances so I called up my sisters, yes I said sisters, Brock and Nicole got married right after Wrestlemania in a beautiful ceremony. Mya looked so cute as the flower girl, and was excited when she found out she gets to be one again. Anyways, Brandi, Nicole, mom, and I went dress shopping. After going to two different dress shops, and not finding anything I liked, we finally arrived at David's Bridal and as soon as I walked in, I saw the dress I've waited my whole life to wear.
Later on, when John and I were alone at the house, we were going over who all was going to be in our wedding party. "Okay, so you'll have Brandi, Nicole, Alanah, Amy, and Trish with Mya as the flower girl right?" John asked, looking over at me. "Yeah, and you'll be having Randy, Matt, Brock, Adam, and your brother Sean. Now we just need a ring bearer." I said, as John agreed to his groomsmen. "I have a cousin who has a little boy, like maybe a year older than Mya, I could see if she would let us have him in the wedding." John said, pulling me into his arms. "Okay, that will work. Next on the list, is getting you and the groomsmen their tuxes, but with Matt and Randy on Raw now, that might be a little tough." I said, not paying much attention to John or what he was doing. When John grabbed the wedding planner book out of my hands, I turned around to grab it, but I met his lips instead. When he finally broke the kiss, any argument I had in me disappeared. "Baby, you need to relax. You have so much done already, I think you're entitled to a break." John said, with a smirk. "I will take a break, I just want to finish what I was doing." I replied, grabbing my planner back from him. "Fine, but promise me you will relax when you get done." "Yes, I promise." I answered, not really paying much attention to what he just said.
With only one month left before my wedding, I was starting to feel the butterflies kick in. I don't doubt that he loves me, but I was getting so nervous. Which Nicole reassured me was normal, she even said that the night before her wedding, she was sure the butterflies had turned into bats and she has been with Brock since '99 plus they have a child together.
The Smackdown Divas decided to have a bachlorette party for me after a house show in Chicago. A few of the Raw divas were able to show up as well. When I first walked into what is called the 'Presidential Suite' at the Sheraton Chicago Hotel and Towers, I didn't know what to expect, but when I saw my friends as well as my sisters and Amy, Trish, Stacey, Lisa Marie, and Lisa Moretti I did know that we were going to be having a good time. After opening many gifts, alot of which was lingerie, I looked around at all my friends. "Hey girls. Thank you so much for this party. It's been so much fun." I said. "Chick, it's no problem. This is just part of bridal tradition, and an excuse to get away from the guys." Amy said, wrapping an arm around my shoulder. "Yeah, plus it gives us a chance to hang out with you, since we only see each other at four pay per views a year." Trish added, walking over and giving me a hug.
Finally the day I've waited my whole life for was here. We had just arrived at the church and we were ushered to the "bride" room to get ready. Brandi and our mom was helping me get my dress on, so I wouldn't mess up my hair. When I was finally ready, I stepped out to show all the girls my dress. "Tiffany, you look so beautiful." Alanah said when she saw me. "Thanks Alanah." I said, as I looked around at my friends and family. My dress is a white satin gown with beaded spaghetti straps and bodice with a full stain skirt and a chapel length train. My veil is elbow length with scalloped edges with pearls and crystals on them. My bridesmaids are wearing stain sapphire blue dresses with matching wraps. Mya looked so adorable in her dress, which looks like mine, except she had beaded lace and a keyhole back.
"I can't believe how nervous I am. I mean, I'm about to marry the man of my dreams, and I'm scared to death. What if I trip going down the isle, or I forget my vows. Are you sure he's even here? What if he's changed his mind?" I said, trying very hard not to cry. "I'll be right back." Nicole said, winking at my mom and Brandi. "Great now I'm losing a bridesmaid." I said, as I felt the tears come to my eyes. "Tiff, you're not losing a bridesmaid, your mind yes, but not a bridesmaid." Brandi said, trying to make me laugh, it didn't work, but she did earn a slap on the arm by mom. "Tiffany, I understand exactly what you're going through. When Adam and I got married, I was convinced that everything that could go wrong would, and yes I thought that Adam wouldn't show up, but I also knew my brother would beat him into oblivion if he hurt me. You have three brothers, and all the guys would bodyslam him till he couldn't walk anymore, if he hurt you." Alanah said, trying to reassure me. Just then Nicole walked back in. "Tiff, sweetie. You have someone out here that would like to see you." Nicole said. "Hey T-Bird." Brock said, as he walked in. "Hey Brock. Is John here?" I asked, getting right to the point. "Yes he's here. You need to stop worrying. You'll be fine, you won't trip, you won't forget your vows, and your groom is here." Brock said, pulling me into a hug. "You look so beautiful. I can't believe my baby sister is getting married." He whispered in my ear. "I love you too, Brock." I said, as he released me from our hug. Right then our dad walked in and told Brock he need to head back now, cause they were getting ready to start. Brock led our mom out since he was going to be the one to seat her. When everyone was ready, my dad took my hand and asked me if I was ready. "Yes. I think I've been ready my whole life." I answered, as we walked out the door.
As the wedding processional began playing, I was watching my friends going down the aisle first, as I waited for my turn. Before they opened the doors again, I looked up at my dad and said, "I love you Daddy." As I leaned over and gave him a kiss on the cheek, he whispered back "I love you too, punkin'." Finally the doors re-opened, as I started my long walk down the aisle to John and our future. I swear when the doors first opened, I saw him gasp in shock, as we locked eyes on each other. I looked around at our friends and family who were there to celebrate with us, I even saw Mark and his wife Sara. When we made eye contact, I knew we were both thinking of the same thing, the night he and Adam saved me from Christopher, he just smiled and winked at me. When we finally made it to the alter, the preacher asked, "Who gives this woman to this man?" "Her mother and I do." My dad said, before leaning over and kissing my cheek, then he placed my hand in John's and went to sit down next to my mom
"Dearly beloved. We are gathered here today in the sight of God, to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony. If there is anyone here who can show just cause as to why these two should not be joined together, let them speak now or forever hold their peace." The minister started. When nobody objected he continued. Although I couldn't say what it was if my life depended on it, I did hear him say that John and I decided to write our own vows, and I felt John turn me towards him as I gave my bouquet to Brandi.
"Tiffany. When you first walked into my life, I didn't know what to think. Just the other night, Kurt told me how he and the rest of the guys could tell I had it 'bad' for you." John started chuckling a bit at the 'bad for you' part, before continuing. "Then we went out that first time, and I could tell you were someone special. We've been through alot and each time you show this strength that I don't know anybody else to have. I promise to make you feel loved and protected the rest of my life. I know there is no other woman I want to grow old with but you. You are my life now Tiffany, nothing and no one will ever change that." John finished, as tears were running down my cheeks. When the minister looked at me, I started my vows, silently praying I wouldn't forget.
"John. When Adam first introduced me to you, the electricity I felt was something I had started to believe didn't exist. When I was little, I used to dream of the day my prince charming would come, and even though the fairytale was alot different then most, I still kept that dream. Even through the bad years, when it would have seemed easy to give up, I still held on to a little piece. What I didn't realize was, how patient and loving my prince would be." I said, looking at John as he had a few tears running down his face. "You have been there with me through everything, even when I was stupid and tried to push you away, you wouldn't let my insecurities keep us apart forever. You let me find out for myself that you are the one I want to grow old with. I can't see spending the rest of my life with anyone but you. I love you John." I finished, as we both looked up at the minister as he continued.
After getting the rings from Jason, he said to John. "John repeat after me. I John, take you Tiffany." The rest of the ceremony went by in a blur, finally we got to the part I was looking forward too. "Then by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. John you may now kiss your bride." With that said, John stepped closer to me and slowly lifted my veil up as we sealed our marriage with a kiss. "Ladies and gentleman, may I present to you for the first time anywhere, Mr. and Mrs. John Cena." The whole church erupted into applause, as we walked back up the aisle, only this time we were husband and wife.
