Wedding
The first time they got married, it was improvised, but no less real because of that. However, Harvey had promised Donna a second wedding, and he had meant it. He thought it would be more for their families than for themselves. But when the day comes, and he's standing there, waiting for Donna to walk down the aisle on her father's arm, he doesn't even know how to begin to handle all the emotions flooding through him.
Of course, the first time around, he knew how she would look at the wedding.
This time, Donna didn't want to reveal any details. And when he sees her enter, his heart feels like it's going to burst. Donna looks radiant in her white dress and veil. Her dress is simple, with delicate lace details and no straps, reminiscent of their first wedding. Harvey can't help but smile at that detail. She knows how much he loves all the freckles that trail from her breasts to her shoulders, and he just knows that she chose her dress to delight him. Her red hair cascades in smooth waves, with a subtle updo that keeps it off her face. Her makeup is soft, just the way he likes it. A delicate heirloom necklace from her grandmother adorns her neck. But most importantly, what immediately captivates him is the most genuine smile he has ever seen on her lips.
As Donna and Jim walk closer, Harvey feels like their journey is endless, and his hands tremble as if he has never touched Donna before.
Coming even closer, he notices that she has tears in her eyes, and that's it. His own eyes are well-filled with tears too.
Jim releases his daughter's arm, kisses her on the cheek, and after a warm exchange of glances with his son-in-law, Harvey takes Donna's arm, and they stand there for a few moments, looking at each other and understanding everything without saying a word. They have always been able to communicate through their gazes.
"You look beautiful," he murmurs, visibly emotional. And she responds with a smile so breathtakingly beautiful and sincere that he has to summon all his willpower not to kiss her right then and there, before the vows.
