Chapter 7: For the Rest of Mine
Simon and Cecilia's wedding day had come. Neither of them had ever felt so nervous in their entire lives. Simon's stomach was all twisted in knots as Eric helped him with his tie. Matt was standing beside him, all dressed up in his tuxedo. "Are you ready, Simon?"
Simon shrugged. "Ready as I'll ever be, I guess."
Wilson was a great help to Simon. He took him aside right before the groomsmen went into the sanctuary to seat the guests. "Look, Simon, I'm not gonna say this is gonna be easy. But, you and Cecilia can make this work. I believe that if my wife hadn't died, we'd still be together. You two are young, and these aren't exactly the best circumstances to get married under. But you CAN make it work." He promised that it would be hard, but that was nothing Simon didn't already expect.
These guys meant so much to Simon. Kevin, Robbie, Wilson, Matt...Each was so special to Simon.
Cecilia couldn't believe that her wedding day had come. She stood in the back of the church with her mom, Annie, and the bridesmaids. Lucy was Matron of Honor, and the bridesmaids were Mary, Sarah, and Ruthie. They were dressed up in powder blue dresses with white shawls.
Everyone told Cecilia how beautiful she looked, but she felt self-concious about the small bulge where the baby was starting to show. "Don't worry, honey," Lori said. "If anyone doesn't love you now, they didn't love you before."
Cecilia smiled even as she wiped a tear out of her eye.
Mary put her arm around Cecilia. "You're going to make a great wife for my brother."
Cecilia teased a stray strand of hair into submission as she said, "I hope so."
"Well," Annie said to Lori, "We need to go on."
They left and Cecilia smiled at the bridesmaids just before they left the room, leaving Cecilia in the brideroom with her dad. "Well, Dad...I guess this is it."
He gave her a hug and took her arm. "Let's go."
They watched Lucy take Matt's arm, followed by Mary and Wilson. They were followed by Kevin and Sarah, and finally, Robbie and Ruthie. They all took their places on the steps. Simon turned to look at the door. Cecilia was about to come out of that door to marry him. He felt like he was losing his mind. He didn't know what was wrong with him. He was happy, but it was a subdued happiness, not the full-on, heartbursting kind of happiness he had expected on his wedding day. As the door opened and Cecilia began walking toward him, he felt as if his tie were getting tighter and tighter. She was absolutely, stunningly, breathtakingly beautiful. He couldn't stop looking at her, and she couldn't stop looking at him.
Cecilia's dad gave her hand a squeeze, then handed it to Simon. She squeezed Simon's had, hoping he knew how much she loved him.
Simon's smile seemed to warm her. So, maybe they were to young, but at least Simon loved her. Eric had tears flooding his eyes long before the actual vows began. He led them each through the vows, and when it was Cecilia's turn, she didn't know what to say. She finally managed to get the words "I do" past the knot in her throat.
Sam and David fulfilled their jobs as ringbearers perfectly, and neither Simon nor Cecilia missed the way the other's hands were shaking as they slipped the rings on.
Eric brushed tears from his eyes and pronounced them man and wife. Simon lifted Cecilia's veil. She smiled at him with love in her eyes as he pulled her close to him and leaned in to give her a long kiss. Eric smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Simon Camden.
Simon and Cecilia were spending the weekend at the beach. But life's not one big honeymoon. Espcially for teen parents.
