June 2016
Through his life Jesse had been to a few weddings and he had seen other ones in movies and tv shows, but nothing could ever prepare him for what he was about to experience. He couldn't stop himself from tearing up as he saw her walking down the aisle toward him. Jane looked radiant in her white gown, a big smile upon her face. Jesse couldn't take his eyes off of her.
God, she is so beautiful. He said to himself. I must be the luckiest man in the world.
This was the woman he was going to spend the rest of his life with. She would be his partner in crime, the mother of his children, his better half. They were extremely compatible, they shared the same interests and goals in life, and even the dream of winning an EGOT. Besides, Jane was a lyricist while Jesse was a composer, which made them the perfect pair. He even joked Jane was him, but as a woman, and she said the same thing about him.
They knew their decision to get married had been rushed, especially since they had only known each other for a year and a half. Their families and friends had told them to wait until after their graduation from USC, but neither Jesse nor Jane cared about what they thought. What they felt for each other was intense and magical, a passion so strong they couldn't compare it with anything else they had felt before. Jesse couldn't even compare it to what he had felt for Beca.
Oh, Beca. Everything would've been so different had she decided to go to LA with him.
Would I be marrying her instead of Jane? No, definitely not. Beca was never fond of marriage because of what happened with her parents. Nevertheless, we would had been very happy.
Beca's decision to go to New York had left him heartbroken, but he knew there was nothing he could've done to make her change her mind. It wouldn't have been right, becoming a Music Producer was her dream and he didn't want to be an obstacle. First and foremost he wanted her happiness, and he knew she wouldn't find it in LA. Not after giving up a once in a lifetime opportunity.
He shook his head. It wasn't right of him to think of his ex-girlfriend on his wedding day. She was part of his past—an important part, indeed, but now Jane was his present and his future. She had come into his life like fresh air, and he had fallen madly in love with her.
He had told her everything about his relationship with Beca. Every single detail, from The Breakfast Club to them being aca-enemies to their shared love of music. She had been a very important person for him, and he wanted Jane to know about her.
He forced himself to get back to reality as Jane stood next to him.
"You look amazing," he mouthed to her. She winked at him and squeezed his hand. In that moment, all memories of Beca disappeared from Jesse's mind, as he only had eyes for the young woman standing in front of him.
Still, he chose to dedicate her one final thought.
Becs, I hope that wherever you are, you are as happy as I am right now.
