September 14

"WAKE UP BELLY!" Taylor yelled. It's my wedding day, and it's 6 in the morning. Taylor has to stop with this nonsense, I only take an hour getting ready, definitely not a whole day.

She is literally carrying me to the shower. She undressed me and pushed me into the cold running water. And it hit me, today is my wedding with Con. The guy I've always dreamed of marrying; he participates in all of my fantasies. But now they are not just fantasies, this is reality.

I decided that my mom would do my hair, and Taylor my makeup. My hair will be curled and then my mom will do a certain bun. Susannah's veil will start from below the bun. I want simple makeup, natural-looking. I just hope I can trust Taylor with my wishes.

So I'm done showering, and I get into my robe. I head into my room, and lying in my bed is a surprise. Con, he is sexy posing me. I laugh loudly and he grabs my hips and pulls me towards him. He starts playing with my wet hair, and keeps repeating, "I love you Bells." I love to hear him say that, its one of my many dreams come true.

I guess it's bad luck seeing the groom before you marry, because Taylor started scolding us, until Conrad left the room. She started with my makeup. I didn't know it took so long, and what's foundation anyway?

I ate some cereal, careful not to spoil my "beautiful" face. Steven walked in wearing sweats, and he looked at me, as if he wanted to cry. I didn't know he was capable of tears. He said, "Belly, I love you very much. I just can't believe you're marrying first. I'm the big one, remember?" I just laughed. Steven can be annoying sometimes, but he is my brother, and I love him. And surprisingly enough, he can manage to say that too.

I helped with the decorations. The ceremony will take place near the beach, while the reception will be near the pool. I invited my friends from college, Anika and her friends. Conrad invited some people that he knows from Cousins. Our total guest list summed up to 40 people. It is going to be a small wedding.

It was 3 in the afternoon, when my mom started with my hair. She left some strands falling loosely in my face. When she was finished, she placed Susannah's opal jewelry that she left for me for my wedding. I have to admit, she looked better in them.

Soon after my mom was finished, Taylor entered my room with her makeup bag. She was all dressed up and ready, but she wanted to retouch my makeup, which was probably a good idea because I haven't really taken care of it.

My mom and Taylor helped me in Susannah's dress, and they pinned the veil. I was crying and then Taylor snapped at me for ruining her masterpiece.

I walked down the isle, with a bunch of people staring at me. But, for once in my life, I didn't care, because down that isle was my prince charming. He was wearing a tux and his hair was slicked backwards. He looked beautiful. All of a sudden, I wanted to run and jump to his arms, so he could twirl me and kiss me passionately. But then I heard Pachelbel's Canon, and I started walking in its rhythm, which is really slow.

When I finally got there, I took his arm, and he looked at me as if it was his very first time. The ceremony began, "Dearly Beloved: We are gathered here…"

I didn't hear a word the minister was saying, I was just looking at him, at his beautiful eyes. Was it possible to love a person this much?

"I, Conrad Fisher, take thee, Isobel Conklin, to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part."

"I, Isobel Conklin, take thee, Conrad Fisher, to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part.."

Priest declares, "You are now husband and wife, the Groom may now kiss the Bride."

And we kissed.
