Chapter 43

I am uncontrollably sobbing what have I done??? Also feel free to listen to the songs I've added, here they are:

Make You Feel My Love - Adele (play now)

Turning Page - Sleeping At Last (I'll instruct you when to play)

Can't Help Falling In Love - Elvis Presley (I'll instruct you when to play)

I could hear the music starting up from inside the church. Harry had let me choose the music for this part, as long as he got to choose our first dance music, and that had seemed fair enough. 

I'd chosen Make You Feel My Love by Adele, because it had been one of my favourite songs growing up, and it would act as the perfect transition into married life. 

Only mere seconds before it would be my turn to walk down the aisle, where I'd see Harry again, where I'd become his wife. 

"Right! Everyone get into position, they're ready for us!" Freya called out, rushing to stand behind myself and Simon, along with the other bridesmaids. Rosie was also here now, and Josh, Harry's younger brother, was in charge of the rings.

The doors opened, and the music was flowing properly now as we started to walk down the aisle, my arm linked in with Simon's. Harry was stood at the front, still facing away from me, with Ethan by his side. 

There were limited guests, but it didn't matter. Everyone we loved most dearly was there. Ethan's face broke out into a smile at the sight of me, and he must've made eye contact with Harry or something because he looked like he was going to cry himself. I had no idea how Harry was going to react.

I made eye contact with Harry's mum myself, and bless her, she was nearly in bits too. 

We reached halfway up the aisle, Harry's cue to turn around. I saw him starting to turn around, and my eyes were trained on. Watching for his reaction. 

Our eyes met, and I could sense exactly what he was feeling, because I was feeling it too. 

I could tell when he took a shaky breath in, when he also did a shaky exhale back out. I smiled at him, every fibre of my being tingling with excitement, with pure happiness. 

His eyes started to fill with tears, and so were mine now, shit, fuck! I couldn't cry, my makeup would be ruined before the most important part of the ceremony!

Simon squeezed my hand zoning me back into reality, into right now. 

"I'm okay," I whispered back, straightening up as we approached the front.  

Simon lifted up my hand, and guided it to Harry, who's arm was outstretched in front of him, waiting for ours to connect. 

"Take care of her," he said quietly, looking between me and him. "I know you will, but I'm saying it anyway," he repeated, gently lowering my hand until it joined Harry's, and then stepping back into the pews, alongside JJ. 

Freya joined Ethan up with us, whilst the rest of them went back with the rest of the guests, except Josh who was still carrying the rings. 

The officiant, who was stood in front of us started talking. 

(play turning page now)

"Well...we are all joined here today to witness the marriage of Harry Christopher Lewis and Sophie Amelia Minter, if anyone has any objections to this marriage, speak now or forever hold your piece!" She announced, looking around. It wasn't a surprise that she received a deathly silence. 

"Alright, now for the vows...Sophie, you first?" She asked, and I nodded my head, looking at Harry. 

Deep breaths, Sophie. You can do this.
