Nikolas was straightening his tie when he heard someone in the doorway. He turned around and saw Emily there. "Hi" he greeted her. "Come on in"
Emily walked into the room and shut the door. "Need some help?" she asked motioning to the tie.
"Thanks" Nikolas said.
Emily stepped forward and pulled the tie stralight. "There" he said. "Fixed"
Nikolas nodded and turned to look at his reflection.
"You don't have to do this" Emily said. "You can leave right now"
Nikolas faced her with a smile on his face. "I don't have to do this. I want to do this. Em, please be happy for me"
Emily didn't reply she just looked around. "I don't get it Nikolas" she finally said. "I just don't get it"
"What don't you get?" Nikolas asked.
"Why Carly? Out of all the woman in the world why Carly?" Emily asked.
"Because I love her," Nikolas answered. "Because I understand her. I hope one day you will too"
Emily didn't answer she just looked defeated. Nikolas walked to the door. "Now, if you will excuse me. I have a wedding to get to"
He walked down the corridor and found Lucky. "Ready?" Nikolas asked.
Lucky nodded and together they walked in to the church. Most of the guests were already there. Nikolas had more guest than Carly but all of Nikolas guests looked like they were at a funeral instead of a wedding. He and Lucky took their place at the altar and waited for the music to start.
"I am glad your happy" Lucky said.
Nikolas smiled at his brother. He turned to say something but was interrupted by the music in the background getting louder. Nikolas's eyes traveled to the door of the church. Molly was there with her little flower basket and Alexis guided her up the aisle. Molly was an adorable flower girl- earning many oh's and aww's from the crowd.
Lulu was next in her blue bridesmaid dress. His little sister looked beautiful and she made faces at him as she made her way to the alter. Lulu could always help him relax. She had to know how anxious he was.
Finally after Lulu was in place the wedding march started up and all eyes turned to Carly. She was wearing a beautiful off white wedding dress. It was strapless with beadwork and looked on Carly. Her long blonde hair was curly and loose around her shoulders. Nikolas thought she looked like an angel.
He held his breath and until she was standing with him and then he prepared to take his vows and start his life with Carly.
