It was the morning of Carla and Nicks wedding and both of them were nervous but for very different reasons. Nick was just worried that it wouldn't go to plan or something would go wrong like Carla getting cold feet or something. But she was nervous for a whole other reason. So many people knew about her and Robert now she was loosing count. There was Johnny, Michelle, Peter, Roy, Ken and obviously Robert. How could she trust they would all keep her secret for the rest of their lives. She had eventually decided to go through with marrying Nick which hadn't been an easy decision after she got in touch with Peter and he advised her on what to do which was ironic really given their history.
They were both dressed to the nines. Nick always wore a suit but this one looked different,it felt different. He was in a purple,felt suit with a black waistcoat and white shirt. Which was finished off nicely with a black bow tie. He had also paired it with a pair of black leather swede shoes. He looked phenomenal. David, his best man was also dressed familiar in a purple,felt suit but had chosen not to wear a bow tie. Simon was also in a purple suit as he had been chosen to be the ring bearer as he was both Carla and nicks stepson.
Carla on the other hand didn't just look beautiful she looked mind blowingly beautiful. Her hair was tied loosely in a fishtail braid and she had a piece of hair on each side of her face to frame it which was something she'd never opted for her wedding before, she'd always had curly hair. Her dress was stunning,it was a tight netted white dress which complemented her figure perfectly and flowed right to the floor. And she had white small heeled shoes on as you couldn't really see them due to the length on the dress. As always she wore minimal makeup but opted to wear a pair of false eyelashes which made her eyes stand out more. Michele, Kate, Bethany and Sarah were all in matching bridesmaids dresses which were a baby yellow colour as that was Carla's favourite colour.
They were getting married at the same hotel that Carla went when she and Michelle had gone to the wedding fair. It was 11.15am and guest were starting to pile in and take their seats. On the front row was: Gail, Audrey, Kylie, Lily, Max, Johnny and Aiden, just some of Carla and nicks closest relatives. As 11.30 approached and everyone was seated Nick started to panic, Carla still hadn't arrived and they were due to get married at 11.35. Just as Nick was about to go and find her Michelle appeared at the door and gave David a nod.
"She's here mate" David said nodding over to the door where Michelle was stood.
"Traffic" Michelle mouthed to Nick as an explanation to why they hadn't arrived earlier. Nick just smiled and then turned towards the woman who was performing the ceremony.
"All rise" the woman gestured towards the crowd of people sat down. And as everyone stood up the wedding march began to play. First to walk down the aisle were Michelle and Kate who were then closely followed by Sarah and Bethany. Everyone smiled at how beautiful they looked.
As the bridesmaids approached the end of the aisle the door was opened and Roy emerged holding Carla's hand, escorting her down the aisle. At this point Nick decided to turn around to be greeted by Carla's angelic smile, a smile she only had for him.
"Wow" Nick said as she stood next to him at the altar. "You look..." But Nick was unable to finish his sentence as Carla interrupted him. "Nicky, you look amazing" she said whilst smiling into his deep eyes.
"You may be seated" the woman beckoned again.
"Dearly Beloved we are gathered here today to witness the marriage between Carla Connor and Nicholas Tilsley. Carla if you'd like to go first" the registrar gestures towards Carla.
Carla nodded nervously and began "I never thought I would ever be so lucky in my life. I've never had much luck with men as you all know but I hit the jackpot with this man. He's everything I'd ever been looking for and I owe my life to him, he really has saved me and Nicky Tilsley I don't know what I'd do without you in my life. I love you and I promise to always love you, whatever may come our way" Carla smiled wiping the tears from her eyes.
"that was so beautiful Carla.. Now Nick if you'd like to began."
"Carla.. I, I have never loved anyone as much as I love you. Your my whole world and would give up anything to be with you. I've fancied you ever since the day I met you 6 years ago but I only realised I loved you just 8 short months ago and I've never looked back. You mean everything to me Carla. Everyone thinks your this strong, scary woman but your not,well your the strongest woman but your far from scary. You'll kill me for saying this but your a little kitty cat really, a big softy. I promise you Carla,that whilst there's a breath in my body I will always love you."
They were both crying now,it was obvious how much they loved eachother, you could see it in both their eyes.
"Thankyou Nick, can we have the rings please?" She said as Simon walked over with them in a purple box.
"Carla you'll be going first. Carla Connor do you take thee Nicholas Tilsley to be your lawful wedded husband?"
"I do" she said smiling whilst placing the ring on nicks finger.
"Now Nick if you'd like to do the same. Do you Nicholas Tilsley take thee Carla Connor to be your lawful wedded wife?"
"I do" he said now slightly chuckling, he couldn't believe it.
I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss your bride" the woman said nodding towards Nick. They both smiled and Nick cupped Carla's face with both hands whilst giving her a small kiss.
"I love you" Nick said whilst turning to her.
"I love you too Nicky" she replied
