^^ song above.

I walked at a slow pace, trying to take everything in.

The scenery was a nature kind of vibe with a rose color to it.

My attention finally halted onto Luca. He was grinning from ear to ear, showing his dimples.

I made it to the altar, and the music died down.

"You look so beautiful." He said, grinning like a schoolboy.

I smiled.

A genuine smile for the first time in a while.

"We are gathered here today to unite the beloved Luca gastano and astrid pierce in marriage. Now would be the time for you two lovely people to say your vows."

"Astrid, I've been meaning to say this. ever since I first layer my eyes on you, I knew you were the girl for me. From your curly ass hair to your bratty attitude, your all I wanted in my life. Now that I have you, you can title me the happiest man on this fucking planet. People have been trying to get in our way ever since we first met, but I'll kill all the people in this sick world before I let them get in between me and you. You've released a side in me that I didn't know I fucking had, and it feels so good. You made me find my wings. I'm so mad at myself for not finding you sooner, but glad I did find you regardless." He said dramatically.

A tear slipped from my eyes.

Even though this isn't real, it felt real. It felt right.

"Now you astrid." The priest said.

"I'm not even gonna lie to you, I thought you were an arrogant, ass who gets off by playing with daddy's money, I was partially correct, but something changed in you. Something changed for the better. I'm so happy to have you in my life, as cliche as this sounds, you were one of the first people to actually make me feel something. I didn't see it at first, but behind the mask you put on for everyone, you a genuine sweetheart, and that's how I fell in love with you." I said.

After the priest married us, he kissed some so hungrily in front of all of these people.

His excuse was "they've already seen us naked, what's a little kiss to them?"

We were walking to the reception, when I heard a loud bang.

It all happened in slow motion.

One minute  I was walking down that isle, prepared for a reception with my husband.

I looked back just in time to see my father.

My own father

Aiming a gun at me.

I was on the ground, feeling like I had been shot.

Warm liquid seeped through my dress. I couldn't move, I couldn't get up.

Blood came through my mouth, dripped from my ears, and leaked through my nose.

Gunshots wrang out, but soon faded as I slipped from reality.

Luca's Pov
I'm a married man. I'm fucking married.

I couldn't stop the obvious grin on my face.

Astrid gastano

Is my fucking wife.

It feels like a dream.

Then she started smiling, looking me right in my eyes.

Her father came up behind her with a gun aimed at her back. Her mother was right behind him.
