Hi guys! The wedding is going to be split into two parts, just because it needs a little bit more planning yet, but that might be up some time tomorrow, hope you enjoy this little filler chapter :)
Finally today is the day that I finally get to marry Anastasia. I'm so excited I can barely contain myself.
I've had a surprisingly peaceful nights sleep considering that Ana wasn't with me, but I'm feeling well rested and ready to go. I can't wait to get the day started.
I grab my phone from the side of the bed where I left it when I fell asleep this morning and text Ana. This is probably going to be one of the only texts that I am going to send today, my empire can survive a day or two without me.

Subject: Finally!

Today is finally the day!
Hope you slept well, baby!
Can't wait for you to be my wife!
Love,

I grin, just writing the words 'wife' makes me happy and I can't wait to introduce everyone to Ana as my wife.
I head out to see members of my wedding party sitting around the dining table, tucking into breakfast. Wow, Gail has really outdone herself, there is heaps of food.
"Good morning, Mr. Grey. Coffee?" Gail greets me as I head into the kitchen.
"Please," I answer and she sets about making a fresh pot of coffee. "Breakfast looks amazing Gail, but you didn't have to put all this on."
"Nonsense, Elliot is here and we now that he could probably eat quite of lot of it, even if it is the fruit, I've tried to use everything up before you and Miss Steele go away on honeymoon." I grin at her.
"Very well, thank you again, and I shall see you later." I smile and then go and take a place at the dining table and tuck into the glorious breakfast feast that Gail has made.
The conversation flows freely around the table about my impending wedding this afternoon.
I have to tell Elliot quite a few times over breakfast to not get too drunk. I don't want him embarrassing me or Ana for that matter; it would just ruin the day completely.
Most of us are ready to head to Bellevue by eleven. My Dad has decided to get showered and what not at home as all of his toiletries are there.
All of the suits are already hanging up at my Mom and Dad's house. I'm dressed in rolled up shorts, a polo shirt and a pair of Converse, all what Ana kindly gifted me a day before our rehearsal dinner, almost like an early wedding gift that she insisted that I wait to wear on our honeymoon, but I just felt like wearing everything today. It definitely feels odd wearing shorts; I'm used to wearing long pants when I go out.
We are greeted by my Mom when we get to Bellevue. She is dressed in thin bath robe and has rollers in her hair. I kiss her cheek, trying to avoid hitting myself in the face with the rollers in her hair.
"Hi Mom." I smile.
"Sweetheart, are you feeling okay? Nervous?" She asks as my Dad manoeuvres around me.
"I'm feeling very excited, I can't wait to see her, is Ana doing okay?" I ask.
"She's doing just fine darling, she's just having her hair done upstairs while everyone else has a shower and everything," She smiles, stroking my cheek. "I'm so happy for you darling." She adds in a whisper.
"Me too Mom, I never thought that this would happen for me." I grin back at her and I can see my Mom swell with pride and the traces of tears begin to form in her eyes, I have to leave before I start crying myself. Hell, I promised myself that I wouldn't.
"Now, your suits are hanging up in the guest bedrooms, while Ana is getting ready in your room and I want you to stay over that side of the house okay? No spying on the bride, got it?" She grins, waving a fingers and me.
"Yeah, Mom got it." I wink and then saunter off into the direction of the guest bedrooms.
When I get into a quiet bedroom I take a peek out of the window and see that a white marquee has been erected on the back lawn of the garden, similar to the one that charity functions are held in. I turn away and sit down on the bed with a notepad I managed to swipe on the way up to the bedroom and decide to write a note for Ana that hopefully someone can pass on.
"Dearest Anastasia
I'm here, under the same room as you!
Hope all is going well with getting ready and Mia isn't stressing you out too much.
Just relax and enjoy the day, this is all about you and me and I've already warned Elliot not to excessively drink so he won't ruin our day.
Can't wait to see you, baby, been the longest hours of my life without sleeping with you in my arms.
I love you so much, Anastasia
Lots of Love,
Christian xx"
I fold it over and print Anastasia's name on the top, I absolutely love writing her full name, it just flows when I write it.
I text Taylor to see if he can come and pick up the note and take it to Ana.
"I want this delivered to Ana, but see if you can give it to my Mom to give it too her."
"Certainly, sir."
I close the door after he disappears down the hall and begin the process of getting ready…
