Chapter 015.

DPOV.
"You ready for this ?" My father asked me as we stood outside in our backyard. We had decided that a smaller backyard wedding would be easier for the both of us, and it was a lot easier for Lissa to decorate.

"Im as ready as I can be, although I find that Rose has warmed up to me a bit more, which means its heading in the right direction you know? Maybe itll turn out just right" I gave a small grin and put my hands in my pocket.

"I think you both will be alright, you two just don't see it yet. But you better get up there because I believe Rose will be coming out any minute now."Nodding I turned to go before my father grabbed my shoulder again.

"Dimitri, I just wanted to say that I really am sorry for everything that has happened between us…and erm….your mother would be very proud of who you have ..become as a person." I could tell my father was choking up, the sight tore at my chest, and half of the things that went on were not okay, and not forgivable but for now I would let him be at ease.

"I know you are Dad, and I would really like to hope and know that she is proud of me. It gives me peace to know that, especially that you would say that. Thank you." Carefully I hugged him gently and walked over to my spot in front of the father we had gotten to bless us.

Clasping my hands in front of me, suddenly I could hear the music start to play, the people stood up all around us and then the most beautiful sight introduced itself in front of me.

Rose, dressed in white walking toward me with her father, it was the most beautiful thing I had ever witnessed. Her dress, kept a secret until now, was all lace. The sleeves came to her elbows and it was all lace. The neckline across from shoulder to shoulder, and underneath you could see what was called a sweet heart neckline? It came to her waist and just like a princess it flowed outwards.

Her hair came forward and the veil she wore swept behind her in the slight breeze. Her makeup not too much which I didn't care about,her face was already beautiful without it all. Her face though, did not seem to have a happy glow, it was happy but she was scared and you could see it.

All I wanted to do was hug her and tell her we didn't have to go through with this right now, but unfortunately I couldn't do that.

Soon her slow steps had gotten her up in front of me, and her father was handing her hand to me.

"Take care of her Belikov, or I'll come after you." And without a doubt it was not just a scare but a promise. Smiling I took Rose's hand, her delicate hand and we faced Father Ashford.

He began the 'process'.

"We are gathered together on this beautiful afternoon to share with Rosemarie and Dimitri as they exchange vows of their everlasting love."

I wanted to face palm myself at that part, but just stared into Roses face. That way her lips were I never really had looked at her until now. She was stunning and I was going to have this girl- no woman, stand beside me now.

Holding her hand, instead of paying attention I just could only look at her, smile and fiddle with her fingers. Soothingly rubbing circles on her hand, I could feel her stop shaking and her lips were now not a frown or a scowl, but a gentle smile had graced her face.

I could understand her fear like no one else. We were both in this together right from the beginning. Soon our vows came, and I was actually to go first. Rose had demanded it be that way. Taking a deep breath I began.

"Rosemarie Mazur, you have definitely been a handful" People from the audience chuckled and I smiled at her playful one. " But I regret nothing being with you. Even though we have only known each other for a short while, I cant shake the feeling of wanting to stand beside you for the rest of our life, to protect you and grow our friendship. You have been nothing but patient with me and given without asking to receive, I cannot wait to start our life together as man and wife."

By the end of my speech my hands were shaking slightly, and I was praying to god that they were sweating in hers. Finally she got to go and I was interested to know.

"Dimitri, what to say about you. I spent a lot of time thinking of what to write and what to say for these vows, and to tell you the truth it was harder than any assignment I have done in school." More laughing." You are a gracious, and gentle man. You are nothing but kind and respectful toward me, even in my more…spontaneous moments. Your personality and mine clash and will continue to clash but I couldn't have been luckier to snatch you away from every other women here in Russia. You are where my home is, where you go, I will follow."

Her words, they touched me and I didn't want to do anything more than just take her lips to mine for a second kiss with her, but I had to be patient and wait, so all I could do was squeeze her quaking hands.

The time came to be bound to each other.

"Rosemarie Ivanna Hathaway Mazur, do you take this man to be your husband, together through in sickness and health, better or for worse? Through the rough and the good times?" With a shaky breath, she opened her lips and in a very quiet voice "I do" came out. She smiled at me, and all I could do was reassure her through my eyes. My turn.

"Do you Dimitri Maxim Badica Belikov take this woman, to be your wife together in sickness and health, better or for worse? Through the rough and the good times?" with my own breath I nodded smiling " I do."

"With the power invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife, you Dimitri, may kiss your bride."

Looking at Rose, who had a shit eating grin on her face, we both leaned closer, myself closing the space between us, capturing her lips against mine.

Hollering came from behind us and we pulled apart, linking our fingers together, no doubt Ivan and Lissa and her boyfriend. Leaning into me, Rose and I walked off the platform, into the friends of our family and friends. And for the first time I felt a bit happy about this wedding and to know what to come of it.

It was the start to a new adventure.
