The next few days seemed to fly by so quick. In anticipation for the wedding it was quickly approaching. Just thinking about it.. Seeing Azalea in her white dress making her way to me. The two loves of my life, her and Mateo. Ready to spend a lifetime with her, I couldn't imagine it being any other girl. I was never the marrying type. Well that's obviously changed.
