Hair Dye & Emotion

Chapter 41

*Alicia POV*

When we exited the church, everyone was waiting outside to bombard us with confetti. Michael gripped my hand and I used my bouquet as a shield. Michael pulled me into him by my waist and pressed his lips to mine as everyone around us cheered and cameras clicked like crazy. I decided I should throw my bouquet so I turned around and everyone behind me huddled, preparing themselves.

"Ready?" I asked and everyone screamed. I threw the flowers up into the air and spun around just in time to see it land in Lucy's hand. Ashton, who was holding Ashleigh, winked at her making her blush a deep red colour. After that, a limo pulled up and Michael made his way over to me, pulling me towards the car. Before we got in to ride to the reception, he kissed me sweetly one more time. The chauffeur pulled open the door for us and I climbed inside, settling myself in as Michael climbed in beside me.

"Why hello, Mrs Clifford" He grinned at me as the limo pulled of the sidewalk. I brought my lips to his and he was quick to kiss me back.

"I love you, Michael" I told him the minute my lips were free.

"I love you too". I looked at my finger which now branished my wedding and engagement rings and smiled. I had done it. I had married the love of my life. I couldn't wait to begin my life with Michael. I laced my fingers through Michael's and laid my head against his chest.

"You look beautiful in that dress, baby. I can't wait to get you out of it" Michael smirked and winked at me and I playfully slapped his arm. We stopped and the door was opened for us.

"Congratulations, Mr and Mrs Clifford" The chauffeur said and we thanked him as we walked into the reception venue. We were told to wait behind a pair of double doors so that we could be announce and Michael was quick to sweep me up into a bridal style hold. Cliche right? The doors opened then.

"Introducing, Mr and Mrs Clifford!" Michael walking in with me in his arms and everyone cheered and clapped. When he set me down, I pulled of his blazer jacket and pulled him down to me so I could kiss him, my heels weren't enough to make me as tall as him. We walked over our table where Lucy, Ashton, Ashleigh, Calum and Luke were sat. I noticed Lucy's purple ends were glowing lightly under the venue light.

"How are the newly weds?" Calum asked, hugging me then Michael, the others following suit. When we all sat down, the food was served and then the speeches begun. Michael couldn't choose just one best man so he had all the guys as his best men. They all stood to give their speeches. Calum went first.

"When we first met Alicia, all I really noticed was her bright red hair with the electric blue ends. I'd heard Lucy talk about her before but we didn't meet her until summer last year. Now nearly a year on and she's married to our best friend. Alicia always did put others needs before her own. She was there to support everyone when they needed her help and that is what makes her special. She is unlike anyone I've ever met before. I want to propose a toast to Alicia and Michael!" Everyone raised there glass of champagne to us and then sipped it. The rest of the speeches went very similar to that, Ashton had to slip an embarrasing story in about the time Michael made a keek with a small pikachu toy. Then Lucy stood to take the mic, passing Ashleigh to Ashton, who was feeding her.

"Alicia is my best friend. We have been best friends since we were very little. We made the move from Perth to Sydney together and have been joined at the hip since forever. Now, Alicia has faced so many battles and she has overcome every single one of them to stand where she is today. To be married to the boy who stole her heart. I want to congratulate Michael on more than winning and marrying my best friend. I want to congratulate and thankyou for saving her, for helping her swin out of her sea of demons that always threatened to drown her. You saved and brought back the real Alicia, she lost herself along the way to living to her true potential and now, she's back. The sassy, firery Alicia I love is back. Thankyou Michael" Everyone was silent as she finished her speech and raised her glass. I wiped under my eyes, feeling moisture there. I looked to where Michael's parents were sat to see Karen crying. The music begun then and I made my way over to his parents.

"Hey Karen, how are you" I asked her, hugging her as she wiped at her eyes.

"Oh darling, you make such a beautiful bride. We are proud to call you a part of this family" She told me and kissed me cheek. I smiled and squeezed her hand. Daryl stood and held out his hand.

"I want to dance with my daughter-in-law" He beamed and me and I took his outstretched hand. He pulled me onto the dancefloor and we whirled together. I caught sight of Michael watching from the side, smiling at me.

"Alicia, really thankyou. I knew when Michael first introduced you to us that you were the one for him. It a fatherly instinct, I just knew." I looked up at him and he was smiling down at me. It was easy to see where Michael got his height from.

"Thankyou, Daryl." We danced for a little longer and then he took me back to Michael just in time for the DJ to announce that we were going to take the floor for our first dance as husband and wife. Michael laced our fingers and pulled me onto the dancefloor. His hands wrapped around my waist and mine around his neck.

"I love you Alicia" he told me as we danced to Remembering Sunday by All Time Low.

"I love you too, Michael" He brought his lips down to kiss me and we both smiled into the kiss. He took my hand and spun me around and I giggled when he placed his hands back on my waist. There was a loud crash and someone spoke from across the room.

"I TOLD YOU. SHE'S MINE AND I WILL HAVE HER!"

Jason.
