Welcome To My Truth
Chapter 53: Wedding Bells
--

"Ashley, you look beautiful," I complimented, "The dress is fantastic."

She twirled around, studying each angle of the her wedding dress. It was snow white, strapless, with a short train behind it. She had added her own style, with the black sash around her waist. The veil fell right above her face, covering her glowing eyes. She was excited, and nervous all at once. I was too.

"Thank you," she stuttered, as she turned to me, "Oddly enough, I don't have cold feet."

Stifling out a giggle, I adjusted the black slash around my own bride's maid dress. Staring into the mirror, I touched the curls at the end of my brunette locks, they were perfect. My blue eyes were outlined in a deep black, the peachy eye shadow making them look a tad brighter. Overall, I cleaned up nicely also. However, inside of me, it was all a mess. I tried my best to hide it, and I was quite successful. Everyone knew how much the whole situation bummed me out. However, tonight, wouldn't be a problem, because I won't let it take my spirits down.

Yes, I have to hold onto his arm, but, that would only be for a minute. I wouldn't have to talk to him. All I had to do was smile, and slowly walk down the aisle. After that, we were apart. The reception won't be bad either. In fact, I could always go to a different table, and not see him through the whole party. Yes, that is my plan. After all, tonight may possibly be the last time I see him.

"I'm really excited for the reception," I smiled brightly, applying a bit more lip gloss.

"Really?" she cocked an eyebrow, "I thought you would actually be dreading that."

"No, why would I?"

"Oh no," she bit her bottom lip.

"What Ash?"

"Well, at the reception, you have to dance."

"Obviously," I laughed, "I'm going to dance all night! Of course, I'll bring a pair of flats, it'll be easier!"

She shook her head, as the other bride's maids began to file into the room, "Yeah. But, the bride's maids and the groomsmen, well, they have to perform a dance together."

No.

"I can pick one of my Uncle's right?"

She shook her head once more.

"ASH!" I whined, pouting my lower lip, "Why?! Like, can't we pass that?"

"It's a tradition," Mickie joined in, "All marriages basically do that. Whoever your paired with to go down the aisle, is the person you dance with."

Sighing, I averted my eyes to the floor.

"That's just fantastic."

Tyler POV.

"I'm freaking out," John puffed his cheek, releasing a deep breath, "She's going to leave me at the alter."

What an idiot. Does he seriously believe Ashley would actually leave him at the alter. I seriously doubt that.

"You're an idiot," I mumbled under my breath.

He turned around, his eyes growing hard. He still wasn't on great terms with me. Although, I apologized numerous times, he's still upset with me. I'm just glad he's speaking with me. Even if it means, hearing those sarcastic, witty remarks full of attitude.

"I'm the idiot? I suggest you look in the mirror, over there."

I should have seen that comment coming. All the men were silent, especially his brothers. They were ready to kill me. That was the case last night. When they find out about the whole 'cheating' scandal, they chased me down all the way to the highway. I had no choice but to hide behind one of the poles. They just went back to the Church, muttering swears. Now, I'm surprised they can contain themselves from attacking me.

"Can we please not fight," My dad interrupted, his hands fixing the tie on his shirt, "Today is supposed to be a happy day."

John nodded, "You're right. Except, my feet are as cold as ice."

"Bro," Matt went over to his brother, resting his elbow on John's shoulder, "You're marrying a great woman with an awesome personality. Not to mention, she's hot."

He rolled his eyes, running a hand through his short brown hair, "I know, she's too good for me."

"John," Randy stepped in, "She loves you. We all know that. Alright? So stop freaking out... Can someone help me with this stupid tie?!"

"Here," I grabbed my dad's tie, and quickly assembled it perfectly. He smirked, as I stepped aside.

"Thanks Tyler, you look good."

"I wish I felt the same way."

"Don't let her get you down," he told me, "You tried. Let her be, Ty."

I couldn't let her be. There was no way, I would allow her to forget our relationship with just one simple snap. We were more than that. In her eyes, I could see she still loved me. I know she misses me. But, I miss her ten times more.

"That's not possible." I simply answered, before hearing the head man announce the last minute warning.

In a short matter of time, she would be linked on my arm. Maybe, by the end of the night, she will be in my arms.

Hayden POV.

Here we go. This is the moment Ashley and my dad have been waiting for, their Wedding. Time has gone so fast, I didn't think this Wedding would be here so fast. Ashley was behind all of us, breathing in several breathes. Her father was speaking soothing words to her, I could tell she wanted to cry. In a happy way - of course.

My partner was alongside me, speaking with the man in front of him. Capturing Alexa's attention was rather difficult. Everyone was standing up straight, arms linked, and were prepared to enter through. Tawny was near the door, her glasses perched on the tip of her nose. She was speaking to the the flower girl, Liana. She was Ashley's close friend's daughters. I could tell my brother had a little crush on her, he kept staring at her with beaming eyes. He looked adorable, too.

The official music played, and I could feel my body begin to tense up a bit. I couldn't allow myself to ruin this day for Ashley. All I need is a huge, pearly white smile, and make it down the aisle. That's not that difficult. My eyes trailed up to see Tyler sigh. He licked his bottom lip, and extended his arm out. My arm entered the loop, and I could feel his hand try to grasp mine.

My eyes quickly glanced at Ashley, she was beautiful. I was so happy she would be my step-mother, she would officially be part of the family.

The couples went down the aisle, one by one, marching to beat of the music. It was our turn after the sixth couple. My glossed lips curved into a smile, and we slowly walked down the aisle. All the eyes were on us, smiles covering each of the guests' faces. My mother sat right up front, her camera in hand. Gavin, smirked, his arm wrapped around my mother's shoulder.

This time, Tyler didn't speak a word. Last night, must have ended everything permanently.

That was easier than I thought.

I went to my place, standing right next to Mickie. She smiled at me, and the sound of the piano playing the certain Wedding March came through the church. Everyone stood up, rotating to the entrance. Ashley, her father holding her arm, walked down the aisle. She was beautiful, her eyes displayed the perfect amount of happiness. Flashes hit all at different times, it was a perfect picture moment. Her father was tearing, as they reached the end of the aisle. My father smiled, his dimples clearly showing.

"Who gives this woman to this man?" The priest asked.

"I do, along with my wife." Her father answered. He lifted the veil up, placing a kiss on her cheek.

My dad, took Ashley's hand, and the couple stood in front of the Priest.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here together here at the sight of God, to join this Man and Woman in Holy Matrimony....."

And so the ceremony began, the couple read their vows, it almost drove me to tears, it was so touching. Then, they did the rings.

In a matter of a half and hour, they were announced Mr. and Mrs. Cena.
