After Uncle John and Manny came back from Ohio, we followed Manny to the store to buy a wedding dress, we also went to buy a tuxedo for Uncle John. Uncle John allowed us to invite the Newman's. We made it a small wedding, actually they didn't want it to be a simple wedding.

"Hurry, were gonna be late".  I say putting my watch on. "I'm coming, I'm wearing my heels". Nina says.

"Who's gonna drive us?". Nita asks.

"Ethan's driving us".

"Ooooo". They both say. I roll my eyes.

HONK HONK

I check outside the window. "That's him".

"Ooooo". They say again.

"Behave". They both smile and walk down.

I take another glance of myself in the mirror. My white dress, Black heels, my hair packed into a bun, and my face. I didn't wear too much makeup, I just put some clear lipgloss, maccara powder. I imagined my mom and dad standing next to me. What will my wedding look like?. I smiled at myself thinking of my wedding.

"Liz!". Nina shouts snapping me back to reality.

"Come down, we're gonna be late". I grab my purse and head down. I locked the door and saw Ethan and Ciara, Ethan was wearing a black tuxedo, with black shoes. He was looking very attractive, while Ciara was wearing a white dress like mine but hers is shorter, she wore white heels, Ethan's blue eyes was faced on me.

"You look beautiful". He says still staring.

"Thanks". I smiled. Ciara coughs.

"Let's get going". Ethan enters the car. Ciara sits in front, while we sat at the back I was in the middle of Nita and Nina.

My phone buzzed.

Manny:
Where are you guys?.

"Who is it?". Nita asks.

"It's Manny" I answer.

Liz:
On our way, don't worry we're on our way.

We reached the church. We went to go and see Manny.

"Manny, you look beautiful". Nina says. Gotta agree she does look beautiful.

"Thanks, you guys look so gorgeous".

"Thanks". We all say.

We went out we sat close to Ciara and Ethan. Well Nita and Nina made me see down close to him. Manny walks in, I could see Uncle John crying.

"Manny Hawkins, do you take John Parker to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, until death do us part"."

"I do".

John Parker, do you take Manny Hawkins to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, until death do us part?"

"I do".

"I now pronounce you husband and wife, John Parker, you may now kiss your bride".

He opens the Vail and kissed her.

"Aww, Nina, Nita and Ciara said". Fanning their selves.

"Ewww". I nodded at them.

They all came to the floor and started dancing. Ethan walked up to me.

"May I have this dance my lady". He holds out his hand.

Are you kidding me?. "I Don't dance".

He grabs my hand. He holds my waist, my hands were on his shoulder. We were slow dancing. I came in contact with his eyes. They we're do beautiful. Then I got lost looking at him, my hands touched the back of his neck.

I wish nothing will spoil this moment. What am I saying, am I falling in love?, No.

I pull out. "We should really give space for them". He smiles.

After long hours of dancing and singing and laughing, we came back home. Uncle John and Aunt Manny are spending the night in his house do Mrs Newman dropped us home.

"So exhausted". I fell on the couch.

"But it was cute for you and Ethan, we saw you two slow dancing". Nina says smiling.

"What, we weren't..."

"Don't deny it, we saw it". Nita says pulling her phone out like she has a picture.

I roll my eyes. We all went upstairs to our bedroom.

Ethan texts me.

Ethan:
Goodnight. Sweet dreams.

Liz:
Thank you.
