I Was Made For You
Chapter 4
The big day was here. Today was the day that Callie and Arizona became wife and wife. Their parents had flown into Seattle a week prior so they could all spend time together as one big family. Carlos and Daniel had dreamed of walking their daughters down the aisle since the day they were born. Carlos imagined he'd be walking Callie down the aisle to a man, but he loved Callie and he had come to accept her regardless of if she was marrying a man or a woman. Lucia Torres wasn't accepting and refused to attend her daughter's wedding. This hurt Callie but at least she was happy to have her father there to walk her down the aisle.
Arizona and Callie got ready at separate locations and had limos drop them off at the wedding location at different times as to avoid each other. They promised to not see each other until they were walking down the aisle to each other. April, Teddy, and Arizona's mom Barbara helped Arizona into her dress. Arizona and Callie had both agreed to have professional hair and make-up artists to make them absolutely breathtaking on their wedding day, so there were professional hair and make-up artists transforming Callie and Arizona into two beautiful brides. Addison and Meredith helped Callie into her dress. "You look beautiful" they both said to the brunette. As soon as Arizona was in her dress, her mom started crying. "I've imagined this day my whole life and it's finally here and you're even more beautiful then I imagined" said Barbara while she was crying. "Mom you're going to make me cry and I haven't even seen Callie yet" Arizona said. April and Teddy helped her get her shoes on, helped her with her jewelry, and did a once over to make sure Arizona was a picture perfect bride.
Meredith and Addison also helped Callie get her shoes on and get her jewelry on while making sure she looked perfect for her soon to be wife. "Are you ready?" they asked Callie. "Yes. I am more than ready to walk down the aisle to Arizona." Callie said after taking a deep breath to calm her nerves. April and Teddy also asked Arizona if she was ready to go. "I am ready." She said while looking at herself in the mirror.
The wedding party and the brides started to walk towards the location. All of their friends from the hospital and their families were sitting in chairs waiting patiently for the brides to walk down the aisle as violins played softly in the background. The space underneath the open top tent was transformed into something out of a bridal magazine. A full piece orchestra was in the corner playing pre-wedding music while the guests waited. There were purple, pink, and white flowers decorating the whole place. Twinkling white lights were lighting up the whole area even though it was bright and sunny and there wasn't a cloud in sight. The white chairs had pink bows tied around the backs with little place cards that said 'Calliope and Arizona. 5 May 2018'.
Each guest was given a box with a tiny butterfly in it. These were to be released when the newly married couple walked back up the aisle hand in hand was wife and wife. Before they started walking down the aisle, the bridesmaids gave their brides one last hug. April, Teddy, Meredith, and Addison all started to slowly walk down the aisle one by one as the orchestra started playing 'Canon in D Major' on cue. They took their places at the altar. April and Teddy on Arizona's side; Meredith and Addison on Callie's side. Arizona's mother was next and the flower girls and ring boys were last. Now came the moment for the brides to walk down the aisle. All of the guests stood up and turned their attention towards the back of the venue where two big curtains acted as doors.
'Marry Me' by Train was playing as Arizona and Callie walked down the aisle. Arizona walked down the aisle first. She was arm in arm with her father. It felt like an eternity before she got to the altar where the officiant was waiting. Daniel kissed her and said "I love you" before he took his seat next to his wife. Arizona stood at the altar waiting for her soon to be wife to walk down the aisle to her. She handed her flowers to April. Callie was next. She was holding on extra tight to her father. As soon as Arizona saw Callie walking towards her she started crying. As soon as Callie turned the corner to start down the aisle, she saw Arizona waiting for her at the end of the altar and she started to cry. "She looks beautiful dad" she said to Carlos. "You both look absolutely beautiful" he said to his daughter. This was the day Callie and Arizona have been looking forward to since they met and it was finally here.
Callie made it to the end of the aisle without tripping. "Who gives this bride to this bride?" the officiant said. "I do" said Carlos. Her father kissed her and said "I love you" and took his seat next to Mark. Callie and Arizona entwined their fingers and faced the officiant. "You may be seated. We are gathered here today to celebrate the love and marriage of Calliope Torres and Arizona Robbins." They both had megawatt smiles on their faces. "Please turn and face each other. Please repeat after me as you say your vows to each other." Callie and Arizona turned to face each other and held each other's hands.
Arizona spoke first as she repeated after the officiant. "I choose you, Calliope Torres, to be my wife. The one I spend my life with. Today my life begins. Today I become your wife. I promise to stand by you through the good times and the bad. Today our life together begins." Arizona took the ring that April was holding onto and placed it on Callie's left ring finger while she said "with this ring, I thee wed." Now it was Callie's turn to say her vows to Arizona. She repeated after the officiant. "I choose you, Arizona Robbins, to be my wife. I promise to love you and stand by you even on your worst days. Today we being our life together as wife and wife. You mean the world to me and I promise to show you and give that to you every day of our life together. I love you." Callie took the ring from Meredith and slipped it onto Arizona's left ring finger as she repeated after the officiant, "with this ring, I thee wed." The officiant asked Arizona "Do you take this woman to be your wife?" "I do" said Arizona with a smile on her face. The officiant then asked Callie "Do you take this woman to be your wife?" "I do" said Callie with a smile on her face as well, as brown eyes locked eyes with blue eyes. "By the power invested in me by the state of Washington, I now pronounce you wife and wife. You may kiss the bride!" No sooner had the words left his lips did Callie and Arizona lean in for their first kiss as wife and wife. They gave each other a passionate kiss, forgetting for a moment that they had an audience watching them, as the orchestra played 'Wedding March', and the wedding guests stood up from their seats and clapped.
The newly married couple started back up the aisle hand in hand as the orchestra continued to played 'Wedding March' and the butterflies were released. They stopped at the end of the aisle for a picture by the professional photographer. While everyone was exiting to go to the reception, Callie and Arizona had a few minutes to themselves before they had to make their presence known. They were all smiles and didn't let go of each other's hands.
