Forever - Christian Yelich

Pure Bliss.

Brooklyn~

I smile at the sight of our close friends and family as we gathered for our rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding. Pure bliss runs through my body as of right now. I cross my leg and lean back in my seat as Ryan starts to get up and talk. 

"I just wanted to say a few words before we leave tonight," he tells everyone, standing there with the glass of champagne in his hand, and a smirk on his face. What is he planning on saying? I look over at Christian and quietly laugh. 

"I think we all just want you both to know that you guys are loved by each of us. We all see that you two share this endless love for each other.  I would go as far as to say you two are a perfect match, and I don't think that's very common. I've known you guys long enough that I know you two are right for each other."

He raises his glass in the air, "To Christian and Brooklyn. We all love you and can't wait to see what the future brings for you both."

We both clink our glasses together and he kisses the side of my face. Christian stands up, "Thank you all for coming. We both appreciate it so much. We'll be around before you all start to leave." I stand up and flatten my dress out before walking over with Christian to some of our guests. 

"You need to be back here at 8:30 tomorrow morning," Maggie tells me as we walk up to her, Will, and Alana. 

"Yes, I know. His mom is picking me up at 8."

"Okay, just wanted to remind you." 

"Everything's done, right?"

"Yes. Your mom and I went over everything before this. You don't need to won't need to worry about anything tonight or tomorrow. Just relax."

"Okay. I'll see you tomorrow." I walk over to where Christian was standing with the Braun's.

"You guys ready for tomorrow?" Ryan asks us. 

I shake my head up and down, "So ready."

Christian agrees with me, "I think we're both ready for the stress of all of this to be over and we can just relax."

"Then you guys can enjoy a whole week with nothing to worry about," Larisa adds. She's not wrong. A whole week with my favorite guy, in a warm, beautiful, place. He hasn't told me where yet, but I don't think he can top The Maldives. That's pretty hard to do. I'm assuming somewhere tropical because that's all we do.

"Well, we'll see you guys tomorrow."

"Yeah," Christian and I both say and watch them walk out with the kids. Christian and I just stand there with each other, taking everything in. "You ready?"

"Yeah," I go over and grab my phone from the table and walk back over to where Christian was standing near the door. He wraps his arm around my shoulder as we walk out to the car. Once we get to the car, I look back at the barn and think of everything going down tomorrow. I become his wife tomorrow, in that barn, and for the rest of my life.

"Bye, love you. I'll see you later," I tell Christian kissing his cheek before making my way out the door. 

"Can't wait to see you. Love you too," he says as I leave the house. It's happening. Today's the day.

I get into Alecia's car and see she has the biggest smile on her face. She leans over the console and hugs me. "Are you ready?"

"Yeah, so ready and I just can't wait to see him later."

"Did you eat? I know your mom and Maggie were stopping and getting something to eat."
