Butterflies swarmed in my stomach, making me like I was going to throw up. I couldn’t do this. Deep down I knew I couldn’t yet I pushed away the feeling for what was probably the one hundredth time today.

People say that your wedding is meant to be the happiest day of your life, a magical time. But why did it not feel that way for me? 

I sat in the velvet covered chair in front of the mirror, wearing a white robe with the word “bride” written on the back of it when there was a knock on the door. My bridesmaid and future sister-in-law came into the room. 

“It’s time to get you into your dress.” She said with a smile on her face, she looked absolutely stunning in her jumpsuit. I wanted all my bridesmaids to have different designs except still coordinated and I thought that Ginny would prefer to have the jumpsuit version of it instead of a dress.

My other bridesmaids, including my maid of honour f/n, appeared at the door and made their way into the room. I couldn’t help but feel that I couldn’t go through with this the entire time they helped me get ready. 

I loved Charlie so much it was almost scary and he was the person I pictured a future with but I was only twenty two. I had my whole life ahead of me and I adored my career, marriage was never something I imagined for myself until I was at least twenty six. 

It wasn’t that I didn’t want to marry Charlie because I do want to someday, I just felt like I wasn’t ready for such a big commitment. But this was just the nerves a lot of people get before their wedding, right? 

Once I had finished getting into my dress I stood in front of the mirror. I thought after seeing myself in my beautiful dress that my nerves would settle but they didn’t. I waited a couple minutes for my bridesmaids to leave but before f/n could, I asked her to stay. 

“I don’t think I can do this.” I admitted to her, feeling like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. She took my hands in her own, “do you think it’s just jitters or….” She trailed off, looking into my eyes that we’re now turning glossy with tears.

“I don’t know.” I said in a quiet voice as I blinked back the tears.

“Hey, it’s okay.” f/n pulled me into her arms, “I’ll tell you what I know. I know that you love Charlie. I know that he loves you. I know that he would do anything if it meant you’d be happy and I know that you two are meant to be together. Whether that be as husband and wife or as boyfriend and girlfriend.”

She gently rubbed soothing circles on my back. “If you ask me I think you’re just nervous like anyone would be for their wedding but if you think that it’s not then you don’t have to go through with it. No one would blame you.” 

I whispered a thank you into her ear, she had always been so supportive of all my choices throughout the years. I took into consideration what she said, Charlie did love me and I loved him so once again I pushed my thoughts of doubts away.

I told her I was going to go through with it, I would probably feel better once I was up there at the altar. F/n stayed with me until it was time for the ceremony to begin, I watched from the doors as the groomsmen and bridesmaids walked down the aisle.

Sooner than I would’ve liked it was my turn. I decided that I wanted to walk myself down the aisle so that’s exactly what I did. I began taking slow steps towards Charlie who now had tears in his eyes as everyone looked mesmerized by my appearance.
