Chapter 22:

After months of slow and steady planning the week of the wedding had arrived. Charlie stayed the night at Leah's where she used to live. Brax invited all the boys over for his bucks. 3:30 in the morning, Charlie texted Brax, to see if her was awake.

"Babe, I'm still up- I've had an amazing night... Call me if your up- otherwise I'll see you tomorrow. I love you so much Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

Charlie laid in her bed, closing her eyes. Suddenly her phone started vibrating. She quickly answered it.

"So your awake to huh?" Brax's husky voice ran down the phone line.

"Yep. We've just finished up here. I'm supposed to be getting my beauty sleep."

"You don't need beauty sleep. Charlie you could not sleep for a week and still look gorgeous."

"Aren't you sweet! I'd do anything to have you here with me in my bed, so I could snuggle up to you."

"I feel so lonely with you not next to me."

"Well I can't wait to marry you!" Charlie whispered quietly."

"Well, now's your last chance to back out. Are you still feeling okay about tomorrow?"
Brax asked.

"Yeah I guess. I'm 100% sure I want to marry you. I'm feeling really nervous though. Once I see you at the altar i'm
sure I'll be more then fine."

"I think the way we have planned it is perfect, just the people that are closet to us. The ones that know us best."

"That's right. Hey, please tell me there were no strippers at your bucks night tonight."

"Uh... Yeah we did. Heath ordered 6 of them- I promise you I had no idea about it." Brax said in a straight tone trying not to laugh.

"BRAX! I thought we agreed to no strippers! I am going to absolutely kill Heath. I can't believe he did that. That's made me really upset."

"Baby, I'm joking! Heath went to order some, but I took his phone off him and put it in my pocket. We just watched the footy, drank a couple of beers, played some poker and chilled. Trust me- the only person I want to see strip in front of me is you."

"Well, I'm sure we can sort something out then." Charlie replied cheekily.

"I'd like to think so. You'd better get some sleep. I can't imagine you'll be getting to much of it tomorrow night! I'll see you tomorrow gorgeous." Brax replied.

"I'll be the one in white! I love you" Charlie responded as she laughed at how blasé she sounded.

"I love you too gorgeous!" Brax responded as he hung up.

The next morning, Charlie woke to find Leah and Ruby bringing her in breakfast in bed.

"You guys didn't have to do that you know!" Charlie laughed.

"Yes we did. The bride needs to have a good breakfast! How are you feeling?" Leah asked.

"Really excited actually. There's not one part of me that doesn't want to marry Brax. I'm 1000% sure."

"Good! Bianca's just feeding Ben at the moment. Eat that, then Marilyn will be over to do all of our hair."

"Awesome, sounds good to me!" Charlie replied smiling as Leah and Ruby left the room.

Marilyn arrived shortly after she finished eating. Charlie had previously decided that she wanted a natural look for her wedding. Marilyn rolled some light curlers into her hair.

Marilyn was in a chatty mood, which kept everyone busy, responding to her. While Marilyn did Leah, Ruby and Bianca's hair, Charlie had a chance to go and put her dress on.

Charlie dress was a beach dress. It was a two soulder dress, that showed quite a lot of cleavage. It had a small train on the end and had a faint pattern on scattered on it.

Charlie walked out into the living room.

"Charlie you look amazing! That dress is so perfect for you!" Ruby gasped.

"Rubes- thankyou!" Charlie smiled

"Here, let me take the rollers out of your hair for you!" Marilyn said sitting Charlie down. Carefully, Marilyn took each roller out of her hair to reveal the soft natural waves.

"Perfect!" Marilyn responded. "You guys are ready to go! Let me take a picture of you guys together.

"Shall we head off now?" Ruby asked.

"Uh, yeah!" Charlie said looking around.

Marilyn and Leah headed off first, to make sure they weren't going to get there before the bridal party.

Carefully, one by one Ruby, Bianca and Charlie got into the limosine. "Were on our way- hope you guys are ready." Ruby texted Casey.

Arriving, Charlie looked out the tinted glass at Brax. "He's looks hot!" She whispered

"No second thoughts?" Bianca checked.

"I'm positive! I want Brax to be my husband."

"Alright, good luck hunny!" Bianca said hugging Charlie tightly.

"Let's do this!" Ruby said, getting out of the limo and beginning her walk do the sand aisle.

Bianca then made her way down. One she was half way there, Charlie got out of the limo and started making her way down the aisle.

Walking along slowly, Charlie couldn't take her eyes away from Brax. He had the biggest smile on his face. Reaching the altar, which was about 10
meters away from the water on the beach, Charlie gave her boutquete to Bianca and faced Brax.

"You looks beyond beautiful!" Brax whispered quickly.

Elijah smiled then began the ceremony:
"We are gathered here today in the face of this company, to join together Daryl Braxton and Charlie Buckton in matrimony; which is an honourable and solemn estate and therefore is not to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly. If any one has any reason why they may not be lawfully joined together, let them speak now or forever hold their peace."

"Daryl, do you take Charlie to be your lawful wedded wife, to live in matrimony? Will you love, honour, comfort, and cherish her from this day forward, forsaking all others, for as long as you both shall live?" Elijah asked.

"I do." Brax smiled at Charlie

"Charlie do you take Daryl to be your lawful wedded husband, to live in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love, honour, comfort, and cherish him from this day forward, forsaking all others, for as long as you both shall live?"

"I do."

Elijah then invited Charlie to read her vows first. "I, Charlie Buckton take you Daryl Braxton to be my husband,
secure in the knowledge that you will my constant friend, my faithful partner in life, and my one true love.
On this special day, I pledge to stay by your side as your wife
in sickness, health, joy and hard times. I promise to love you without reservation and encourage you to achieve your goals, laugh with you and cry with you, for as long as we both shall live."

"I, Daryl Braxton take you Charlie Buckon
to be my wife, knowing in my heart that you will be my best friend forever. Your my one true love. I pledge to stay by your side through joy, sorrow, sickness and comfort you during distress for as long as we both shall live. I love you Charlie." Brax said slowly as Charlie wiped a small tear from her eye.

Heath then reached into his pocket and got the rings out. Giving them to Brax, he carefully placing It on Charlie's finger.
"With this ring I thee wed."

Charlie took the other ring from Heath's hand and placed it on Brax's finger. "With this ring I thee wed."

"In so much as Daryl and Charlie have consented to live forever together in wedlock, and have witnessed the same before this company, having given and pledged their troth, each to the other, and having declared same by the giving and receiving of a ring, I pronounce that they are husband and wife."

"You may now seal the promises you have made with each other with a kiss."

Charlie and Brax, gave each other a passionate kiss. Brax was the one that eventually had to pull away as they both cracked up laughing.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the loving couple Mr and Mrs Braxton." Elijah said clapping.
