3rd person POV

She steps out of the car, careful not to ruin her beautiful white dress. Her two bridesmaids also come out of the car, and then do a few last minute touch ups to her hair and dress. They give her reassuring smiles, and then hand her the bouquet of white lilies.

As they walk down to the beach, the reception comes into view. After months of planning and making sure everything was just how they wanted it, it looked absolutely perfect.

The rows of chairs were filled with their closest family and friends, and the split down the middle formed an aisle for her to walk down. There were white flowers placed intricately on the chairs and petals scattered along the path leading to the large decorative archway.

Behind all the guests, she could just barely see him waiting at the end of the aisle. His back was turned and facing the water, just as they planned, so that he wouldn't see her until it started.

Her father, who was waiting at the start of the aisle, sees her first. He meets her halfway and many of the guests turn to get a look at the bride.

"Are you ready?" he whispers as he hugs her.

"Definitely," she replies, smiling and taking his arm. She nods to Aaliyah and Y/F/N, and they give the cue to start the music.

She takes a nervous breath as she watches her best friend and her soon to be sister-in-law walk down the aisle before her.

They reach the end and take their places, and then the officiant motions for the guests to rise.  The bride and her father make their way to the start of the aisle, and all eyes were on her.

Her mom and Shawn's mom were both already crying, and many were gushing about how pretty her dress was or how beautiful she looked.

Brian, the best man, gives Shawn a nod meaning for him to turn around. When he does, he finally sees her for the first time and tears are brought to his eyes. He grins widely, wiping them away.

She begins to walk down and he does not take his eyes off her once. Her white dress just barely grazed the sand, her hair was in an elegant french twist, and she looked like a gorgeous bride.

When she reaches the archway, she hugs her dad tightly and then he shakes Shawn's hand. He then takes his daughter's hand and places it in the groom's, officially giving her away.

"You look incredible," he whispers to her.

She blushes, taking his other hand as well. It was shaking a little, but so were hers.

All the guests sit down, and the wedding officiant begins to speak.

"Ladies, gentlemen, honoured guests, we are gathered here today..."

They exchange rings and say their vows, with a few more than a couple tears being shed during the ceremony.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

He pulls her in by the waist, placing his lips on hers. She puts her arms around his neck as he lifts her off the ground, making them both smile.

Shawn picks her up bridal style and walks back down the aisle as the guests all applaud.

"I love you, my wife," he teases, making her giggle.

"I love you too, my husband."

The festivities weren't over quite yet. After their emotional, romantic reception, their short guest list of about 75 people all made their way to a small venue just on the edge of the beach. It was a cute little place where there was food, music, and an open bar waiting.

Shawn picks up the mic, facing everyone. "Alright, is everyone here? Okay so, first we wanted to thank you all for being here on our special day, it really means a lot to us. There's food and of course lots of drinks, so uh yeah, enjoy yourselves."

The DJ they hired starts the music and before long, there's a raging party going on. Just about everyone was on the dance floor having fun or having a good drink. The newlywed couple was in the center of it all, and this was truly a night they wouldn't forget.

After about an hour, the bride goes up to the DJ and whispers something in his ear. He nods, picking up the mic.

"Alright everyone, it's time for the bouquet toss, so if all the unmarried ladies would make their way onto the dance floor..."

She stands up on the small stage with her back to the group of girls. Grinning, Y/N throws it up into the air as they all grab for it.

She turns around to see who caught it, and Aaliyah is standing in the middle of the group, grinning widely with the bouquet in her hand. Guess it's her turn next.
