A Mothers Love

Ch.20

Demi POV

Two hours. My life would change forever in two hours. I would be married in two hours. I had two hours to prepare myself. Two more hours.

I had been getting my hair done for the past hour and all my bridesmaids had been too. Sky was the flower girl and getting ready with Naya. They were just in the next room over but still.

I looked over at Karoline; she was sipping juice. She was my maid of honor; it took a long time to choose whether that was a good idea. She was going to have to stand for at least thirty minutes. I didn't think much longer than that, but that's a long time. I didn't want her to pass out. I was going to have Marissa stand behind her just incase. We had a nurse there, so I felt confident she was safe.

Twenty minutes, I was alone in a room. We were getting married on the beach, but everything was getting set up, and everyone was getting seated. The band was getting their music ready. I was getting more nervous as the time ticked by. I looked in the mirror. I looked really good. My hair was in an updo. I had no shoes on because we were at the beach. Naya and I were going to meet at the alter. I was coming in from the left side, and she was coming in from the right. It wasn't traditional, but it was cute. Both our moms and dads were walking with us. I wanted everyone to have a part in the wedding.

"You ready?" my mom asked me.

"I am. I am ready to start my life with the love of my life."

"That's good. I am happy for you," my dad smiled at me. He kissed my forehead. I heard the music start. We walked slowly towards the alter. It came into my view. I could see my beautiful bride walking towards me. I looked at all my bridesmaids. This was magical, a dream almost. This moment couldn't be relived.

I made it to Naya, and she grabbed my hands.

"You look beautiful," she mouthed.

"You do too, baby," I mouthed back.

The priest started, " Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here in the sight of God, and in the face of this company, to join together these woman in holy Matrimony; which is an honourable estate, instituted of God, signifying unto us the mystical union that is betwixt Christ and His Church: which holy estate Christ adorned and beautified with His presence and first miracle that He wrought in Cana of Galilee, and is commended of Saint Paul to be honourable among all people: and therefore is not by any to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly; but reverently, discreetly, advisedly, soberly, and in the fear of God. Into this holy estate these two persons present come now to be joined. If any person can show just cause, why they may not lawfully be joined together, let him now speak, or else hereafter for ever hold his peace. Naya, Wilt thou have this Woman to thy wedded wife, to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of Matrimony?"

"I do," she smiled.

"Demi, Wilt thou have this Woman to thy wedded wife, to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of Matrimony?" he asked.

"I do," I smiled.

"The couple have written their own vows."

"Demi, I promise to love you everyday unconditionally for the rest of my life. To hold you when you're down, to pick you back up. To make sure your health is right and to bring you back to health when needed. I promise to be yours and only yours until the day I die, to fight to keep our love strong. To keep you next to me for as long as you allow it. Never let anyone drag us down. I promise to love you," she said sliding the ring on my finger. She wiped the tears off my face and then wiped her own.
