Ch.9
As he sat in the living room looking at his two daughters, sitting in their car seats, looking everywhere, he started to think about her again. He looked down at his hand and saw his wedding band. As he stared at it, he started to remember his wedding day. All of a sudden, he remembered that his friend Mike had taped it. He got up, walked over to his video stand and pulled it out. He then turned the two car seats around so that the girls could see the TV and put the tape in. As it started to play, he sat in between the two girls and watched.
'Chris, are you ready yet?" his friend Craig had shouted. Mike had held the video camera as Craig walked over to the door to get Chris. They were getting married today in a small chapel about 3 miles from their house.
"Yeah, yeah. I'm coming," they heard him yell. They stood there waiting for the door to open. After about a minute, the door swung opened and Chris walked out. He was wearing a regular black suit with a white button down shirt and a black bow tie. Mark and Craig were the best men and they both wore a black suit with a black tie.
"I can't tie this thing," he said, as his two best friends laughed.
"Here, take this," Mark said, handing the camera to Craig and tying the bow tie.
"Thanks," Chris said.
"No problem. Now, let's go. You're getting married in 5 minutes," Mark said, as he followed his two friends. It then turned over to another camera. Now, it showed Bianca standing in her room, getting ready, with her two bridesmaids. They were her best friends, Clair and Katie. They were wearing tan dresses that went down to their feet. Bianca was wearing a white spaghetti strap wedding dress. It went down to the floor and had a v-shaped front that showed a little cleavage and tied in the back. It was very easy to tell that she was 6 months pregnant.
"Are you ready?" Clair asked, as she held her video camera.
"Yes, almost. Why?" Bianca asked.
"Because you're getting married in like five minutes," Clair answered.
"Really?" she asked.
"Yeah, haven't you been paying attention to the time?" Katie asked.
"No, I keep thinking about Chris, and the babies, and my family. I just with that both of our families could except that I'm pregnant and him and me are going to be parents. I wish that they were here and that my dad could walk me down the isle and give me away," she answered, as tears came to her eyes.
"But, if they can't except this," she said, pointing to her stomach, "then, I don't care and I'm going to get married with no problem and no one is going to stop us." Chris smiled as she had said that.
"Ok, are you ready?" Katie asked again.
She took a deep breath, before standing up and saying, "Yes, I'm ready to get married."
Her two friends smiled as she said this and followed as she walked out. It had then changed again and now was only taping from one camera. It had showed her walking down the isle to a waiting Chris who was smiling at her. When she finally got up there, the priest had started. After another couple of minutes, they had finally gotten to say their vows.
"Chris," the priest said. He looked at her. "Bianca," he started, "I love you more than anyone can imagine. I can't imagine my life without you in it. I loved you from the moment I had seen you. I promise to love you for the rest of my life. Even though we have been through a lot of heartache and tough times, we have been able to get through it together and I hope it stays like that forever." She had tears in her eyes by now.
"Bianca," the priest had said. "Chris, when I had seen you for the first time, I thought that you were like every other guy I had met. But, then I had gotten to know and fall in love with you. When I found out I was pregnant, I knew that we were meant to be together forever. I love you and only you for the rest of my life," she said, as he too had tears in his eyes now.
"Chris, do you promise to love, honor, and cherish Bianca, till death do you part?" he asked.
"I do," he said.
"Bianca, do you promise to love, honor, and cherish Chris till death do you part?" he asked, again.
"I do," she replied, staring at her soon to be husband.
"Rings?" he asked. Chris turned around and took the ring from Mike.
"Repeat after me. With this ring, I thee wed," the priest said.
"With this ring, I thee wed," Chris repeated, as he slipped the ring on Bianca's finger. She then handed her bouquet to Katie and took the ring.
"Repeat after me. With this ring, I thee wed," he said again.
"With this ring, I thee wed," Bianca repeated, as she slipped the ring onto his finger.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride," he said. Chris didn't hesitate. He lifted the veil and kissed his new wife.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I now pronounce to you, Mr. and Mrs. Chris Wyatt," the priest said to the 16 guests who were very good friends of the newlyweds. The two smiled as they walked out of the little chapel and into the limo that was waiting for them.
The tape then switched again and showed them in a small place that held the reception. Chris and Bianca were having their first dance as husband and wife as everyone watched. Even though the camera wasn't that close, you could still see the smiles on their faces. They had so much fun and Clair and Mike were able to get everything and put it all onto a tape. After the party, the pictures were taken, and the bouquet was thrown, and finally they were able to go on their honeymoon, even though they were only going to be gone for 2 weeks. After the two newlyweds had left, Mike, Craig, Clair, and Katie had all said things to their best friends about how lucky they were to find each other. Right before the tape ended, four pictures had slowly come up.
The first was of the two having their first dance together. The second was of them kissing. The third was all six of them, with Chris and Bianca standing in the middle, smiling, and the fourth was of just the two of them, smiling for the camera.Chris had stopped the tape on the picture of just him and her. As he stared at it, tears came to his eyes, but he didn't hold them back. After about a minute, he looked at his two girls and saw them staring at the picture of their mommy and daddy. It looked as if they knew who the two people were and looked as it they were only staring at her. This brought a smile to his face and more tears to his eyes as he too stared at the picture more.
