Rosalina's POV

Two years after we graduated college, I found myself sitting in front of a big mirror with Stacy fixing my makeup. She had on a lavender dress with a mint green sash that tied into a lovely bow. Gina and Kristina were there in matching dresses, with Gina doing my hair and Kristina primping my dress. Juanita walked in, smiling at me. "How's it going?" She also had a matching dress. "Are you nervous?"

"I'm extremely nervous," I said.

"Why?" Gina asked. "It's nothing surprising. You are just getting married."

"If it weren't for the law you guys could've gotten married years ago," Kristina said.

"I wish I had him," Stacy mumbled.

I rolled my eyes, causing a slap from Stacy. "Don't move, or you'll mess up your makeup," she said.

"Where were you, Juanita?" I asked.

"I was bothering the boys," she said. "Nat is way more nervous than you."

"He'll live," I said. "Can I go check on him though?"

"No," they all said sternly.

"I haven't seen my Nat in two whole days, I miss him," I whined.

"You can see him during the wedding, at the reception, and have him all to yourself on your honeymoon." Gina said. "Trust us, it's worth the wait," Stacy said.

"But none of you are married," I pointed out.

"Yea, but two days without seeing your man can make seeing him even better," Kristina said.

"And it'll make the sex way better too," Stacy added.

"You are so weird," I said.

What felt likes hours later, it was actually time. I loved my dress, and I was hoping Nat would like it too. The website I saw it on a fell in love with it, which inspired me to get it, said it was 'lace wedding gowns, strapless embroidered lace and tulle ball gown wedding dress, sweetheart neckline with eyelash trim, soft embroidered lace bodice features hand-beaded jeweled detail at natural waistline, softly curved back bodice, gathered full skirt with matching lace appliqués cascading down to scalloped hemline and chapel length train with eyelash trim.'

Anywho, it was just me and my dad left, waiting to walk down. And when we did, I could easily see Nat all the away across the garden, waiting. His eyes met and mine and we both couldn't help but smile widely. I feel like a little kid saying this but he was so cute. We reached the end and I was face to face with Nat, with the exception of the veil. He smiled at me and I smiled back. "Hi Yankee Doodle," he whispered, while the guy in charge was talking. I'm sorry, I don't really know what they're called. "How was your night?"

"Lonely, I missed you," I whispered back.

"I missed you too," he said. "But now we have pretty much forever together."

"Just you and me," I said, smiling at the idea.

And soon, it was the 'I do', and then the kiss. And then, the limo ride to the reception. "I can't wait to take you away tomorrow morning," Nat said, wrapping his arm around my shoulder.

"Do you know where we're going?" I asked, looking up at him.

"Yea," he said. "Don't worry, you'll love it."

"And what makes you so certain?" I asked.

"I spent the last twelve years of my life with you, I'd better know," he said. "Plus I have to know at least a little cause you just married me." I laughed, kissing his cheek.

It was amazing to finally be with Nat forever. We gently swayed to the soft music, my head on his chest. It was perfect. An hour after we returned from our honeymoon, we moved into our first apartment. Two days after that, I was pregnant. A year and a half later, we moved from that lovely apartment to a lovely house near the shore.
