Forever - Christian Yelich

Speechless.

Christian~

I look over to see Collin and Cam coming back into our room, "Dude, she looks amazing," Cam tells me and Collin is quick to agree. A smile starts to appear on my face as I think about what she's going to look like once I see her. 

"She was out there?"

They both nod, "Yeah, I think she was going to see her dad and brother," Collin says but continues, "So that means you can't leave this room until Maggie comes back in."

"Where's mom?"

"I think she was with Brooklyn in her room before she went down to see her dad."

"Can one of you find her before we need to go out there? I would do it but I can't."

"Yeah, I'll be back." I watch Collin leave our room and I adjust my tie and cuffs. "How are you feeling?" Ryan asks as I stare into the mirror. 

"Nervous. But, like an excited nervous. I just really want to see her."

"From what they have said and what Larisa's been texting me, she looks amazing. I think you're going to ball your eyes out when you see her."

"Man, don't make me start now." We both laugh and I see my mom come in. "Mom, don't cry. I will start crying if you do, and I don't cry much."

"Honey, I'm just so proud of you," she hugs me. The door opens again and Maggie comes in, "Hey, you guys need to get down there. The girls are waiting for you."

The guys start to file out of the room, along with my mom, "Hey, did she get my note?"

"Yeah, she's reading it now. Christian, I just wanted to thank you for everything you've done for her. We've both seen her at her worst and I just can't thank you enough for continuing to love her endlessly."

"Maggie, she deserves the world. I would do anything for her," I tell her as we walk down the stairs to meet Emma, the venue director. 

"Okay, Christian, whenever you're ready," she tells me and I start to make my way down the aisle. I stand there waiting for our bridal party to enter. 

First up, Cody and Steph start to make their way down. Thank god we got Cody's suit situation figured out. He won't look like an idiot when he stands next to us. Next, Ryan and Larisa walk down with the biggest smile on their faces. Then, Cam and Jenny make their way down and Cam stands a bit closer to me. Lastly, Maggie and Collin start to make their way down. I am so close to seeing Brooklyn. 

Carter and Greyson slowly make their way down the aisle holding the rings. They go over and stand by Ryan as Celine starts to throw small flower petals down the aisle. She goes over and stands in front of Larisa when the song starts to fade and changes into a different song. The doors close and the song continues to go on. 

"...And I'm Speechless," plays through the speakers and our guests start to stand up and look toward the doors. I stand there watching the doors get wider and show my beautiful, stunning, soon-to-be wife. My knees go about weak at the sight of her. She takes a small step forward with her dad linked to her arm. She couldn't look better. She is leaving me absolutely speechless.

Collin lays a hand on my shoulder as I wipe the tears that did fall. How is she not losing it right now? She is probably a puddle inside. As she makes her way down I can finally see the tears in her eyes. 

Her dad kisses her cheek before handing her off to me. "You take good care of her," her dad says before sitting by her mom.

"I will don't worry."

"You look amazing," I tell her quietly. "Thank you, don't make me cry just yet."

"Please be seated," our Officiant tells everyone. "Welcome, family, friends, and loved ones. We are gathered here today to celebrate the wedding of Christian and Brooklyn. You have all come here to share this formal commitment to each other. You all are here to show and offer your love and support to this union. Family, friends, and loved ones, today you are here because you are the people they care about, they love, and who are most important to them. They both wanted to thank you for coming and being a part of their day and ask for your blessing, encouragement, and lifelong support for their decision to be married." We both look at each other and smile. God, she looks so good. She's always looked good in white.
