(Elizabeth's point of view)
Today I become Elizabeth Morgan. I can't believe I am getting married in a matter of hours. I woke up to my phone. It was Jason. He wanted to say good morning. We were talking when Carly yelled for me to get off the phone and come eat breakfast.
I went down stairs where Grams, Sarah, Emily, and Monica were sitting. Carly came out with muffins and coffee. I gave her a strange look. Carly doesn't cook. She smiled and said Sonny was over baking early. I laughed and sat.
After breakfast I dressed in my bride's shirt and jeans. We went to pick up a few last minute items. Then we headed to the church. When we arrived at the church the hair stylist was waiting.
Grams and Monica has their hair done first. Then Carly and Emily. I sat talking to Sarah. Sarah was asking all about Francis. I teased her that she had a crush. Sarah also said that she had been offered a job at GH. She said she was thinking about taking the job. I was excited at the thought of my sister and I being closer.
The hair stylist started on Sarah's hair next. I was happily nervous. The photographer joined us. They wanted pictures of us getting ready. The hair stylist called me over. I sat in the chair. We has already talked over what I wanted. She confirmed with me again the hair style I picked. I smiled and nodded.
She started with the curls. Then she put half up and left the other half down. She helped me with the tiara. After that I noticed the make-up artist had arrived. All of us got our make-up done next. I went with a natural look except my lips which were red.
Lila had arrived. Everyone gathered around. They said they had gifts for me. I was a little shocked. I didn't understand why.
"My dear I have your something old." Lila said handing me a handkerchief.
"It's beautiful Lila." I said hugging her.
"That was my Mother's she would be honored." Lila said.
"Thank you so much." I said trying not to cry.
"I have your something new." Grams said.
"These are beautiful." I said revealing the prefect diamond droplet earrings.
"Sarah found them and we bought them together." Grams said.
"I love them thank you both." I said hugging them.
"I have your something borrowed." Carly said.
"Oh my Carly that's amazing." I said looking at the necklace.
"Sonny bought this for our wedding for me." Carly explained.
"I will return it in excellent condition." I said.
"I know you will. I am glad to have you as my friend." Carly said as I hugged her.
"I'm glad to have you as mine too." I said.
"This is your something blue it's from Mom and I." Emily said handing me a box. It was a silk blue garter.
"Oh I love it. And now I have one to keep." I said.
"Elizabeth?" I heard Michael call from the door.
"Come in Michael." I said happily.
"Jason wanted me to bring you this and this is from Daddy." Michael said handing me two boxes.
"Thank you Michael and thank you for being a part of our wedding." I said kissing his cheek.
"I better get back." Michael said blushing.
"Bye Michael." Everyone yelled making him blush again.
"He looks so handsome." Monica said softly.
"Thank you." Carly said sounding sincere.
"So what did Jason and Sonny get you?" Sarah asked.
"Read the card first." Emily said.
"Elizabeth thank you for making my best friend so happy. Welcome to the family. We love you. Sonny, Carly, Michael, and Morgan." I read out loud.
"It's beautiful." Emily said.
"I've never seen one like this." I commented in wonder.
"Momma bought me one of our wedding. It's a family tradition. And well we are all family now." Carly explained as I put the family tree bracelet.
"Thank you Carly." I said again.
"All I did was give Sonny the idea he picked that one out himself." Carly said.
"Sonny has good taste." Sarah said.
"Yes." All the women said at the same time laughing.
"Time to get dressed." Gram said.
"It's time to get dressed already?" I asked shocked.
"Yes its only 45 minutes until the wedding starts." Emily answered.
"Where did the time go? I asked.
"We were busy getting ready and being sappy." Carly said laughing.
Grams and Monica helped me first. Then Carly and Emily helped. Finally Sarah straightened out my dress for me. The photographer took pictures. The hair stylist and make-up artist touched me back up.
We went outside to take more pictures. We took a lot of pictures. I saw Nikolas at the door. He watched us. I smile and waved him towards us. I took picture with him. Then I had the photographer take one of him and Emily together. They looked so cute together.
A few moments later we took our places. I was happily nervous. Monica, Grams, and Lila headed down the aisle. Next Sarah went down then Carly. Steven was whispering to me. He said he wanted me happy and to know he loves me and always will. I told him I loved him also and thanked him for being here and doing this. He smiled and we hugged.
I noticed Emily was walking. The doors shut. I was ready. I was ready to be Mrs. Morgan. I never wanted anything more in my life. As the doors open and the soft song I chose to walk down the aisle started I could see Jason.
The look as I walked towards him was amazing. I never felt more beautiful and whole in my life. I knew one day very soon I would paint this. I smiled with tears in my eyes.
