Chapter 22

Shai’s POV-

(1 month before wedding)

Ever since the accident 1 month ago, Theo has gotten a lot better and we have done our best to keep the stress off of him. Now Theo and I are cuddled on the couch with Toby, our puppy, talking about the wedding.

I say, “Okay, so should we invite like only close family?”

“Yeah, that would be best. Just keep it private and sweet. Then when the wedding happens, we will announce it to the world. Just not now though.”

“Sounds perfect,” I say sweetly, kissing Theo on the lips.

Theo and I already discussed the colors, place, and everything else in between. I even picked out a dress already! It’s a strapless long, white gown, with silver decor going down it. It’s beautiful. 

Time lapse (Day before wedding)

Theo is sleeping over at Miles house and I am going to Zoe’s apartment. But Theo is gone by now, and I am waiting for Zoe to pick me up.

Then I hear a knock on the door and answer it. Zoe runs up to me and squeezes me tight. “Aw Shai! I am so excited! Let’s go!”

Soon we are at Zoe’s apartment and it’s only us two for the night. She is going to be my one bridesmaid with a green color dress and Miles will be Theo’s best man in a black tux with a medium-green tie. 

We play Monopoly, play truth or dare, and play all of the board games that Zoe has. Then I show her my dress because she didn’t get to see it yet.

I pull it out of my bag and unwrap it from the plastic. As I show it, Zoe gasps. “Shai, i-it’s beautiful. I don’t know what to say!”

“Thanks Zoe! We should get to sleep now! I don’t want to be tired on my wedding day! Wow, I can’t believe I’m getting married.”

“Sure, sounds good.”

We get in our sleeping bags on the floor, and I settle in. I am getting married tomorrow. To the love of my life.
