Chapter 20
There was an expectant and joyous mood in the air as Sam stood by the altar; this was it, the big day, her and Ashley's wedding.
'Of course Jess and Emily excelled themselves as usual.' She reflected with a wry grin.
As she thought that she looked down at her white strapless wedding dress with white shoes. It was of a simple yet elegant design, Emily herself had in fact come up with the design. She looked around the room, smiling at all the guests; still amazed at actually being here.
She couldn't help her amazement. 'I never imagined I'd be here, ready to marry, ready to marry Ashley, the girl I love, the girl who changed my life so much, for the better.'
She knew they were both lucky to have such understanding families too; her father stood by her, her mother and younger siblings seated in the front row, along with Ashley's mother. Looking around she spotted familiar faces amongst the crowd too; people that, she felt, the night wouldn't be complete without their presence.
Most prominently amongst them were Josh, Chris, Kate, Dana and Trevor, all smiling back at her. The boys, like the rest of the guys in the wedding party, all wore classy black tuxes, with white shirts and black dress shoes. Meanwhile, Kate and Dana wore beautiful dresses, Kate in a blue knee length long sleeved one with blue slip-ons while Dana wore a green V-necked mid-thigh length dress and green heels.
'Look at us all, this is...so amazing.' Sam noted to herself.
Then she heard it and her heart leapt.
The music had changed and Sam knew it was time. She stood, watching, eyes wide, emotions high. The bridesmaids began to enter, each with their respective partner. Emily and Matt were first.
Emily, like all the bridesmaids, was resplendent in the maroon knee length dress and black heels that had been chosen specifically for them. Max and Warren were next, Sam noted that Max also wore her usual doe necklace too.
Then came Jess and Mike, both glowing with happiness, Jess' dress had been altered to fit the small but visible pregnancy bump she had. Hannah and Brooke followed, both smiling widely at Sam, then finally, Beth and Daniel.
Sam found it sad that Chloe and Rachel couldn't attend, but they had sent a card wishing them well, expressing their regrets.
Sam still remembered Ashley's words. 'She's right, they cared enough to let us know, they're thinking of us, I know it.'
Then all thoughts fled Sam's head and she was left speechless as Ashley entered, on her father's arm. She looked stunning, her hair up in an elegant bun, her make-up perfect, her strapless white wedding dress decorated with an elaborate floral pattern on the bodice, her silver veil and white shoes even looked perfect.
For Sam, they all added up to make Ashley absolutely angelic as she finally reached Sam and their hands linked together. Throughout the ceremony Sam's replies were automatic, following her heart. Her mind was however engaged with the beautiful woman before her, smiling back at her, such warmth and joy shining in her eyes.
Then the words came for them to kiss and neither of them hesitated. Their lips met and in that instant, they both felt complete.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
