Chapter 24: We are not meant to be

1 year later

I sat in my dressing room with my friends and Laura who was soon to be my step mom surrounding me. I was getting ready to marry Emerson, I couldn't be happier.

"Done..." Laura told me as she slowly turned the chair around to reveal my hair beautifully curled. "Thank you." I told her, as I smiled and she held me into a hug.

I stood up after hugging her walking towards my dress that was still in its bag, I un zipped it to reveal my gorgeous wedding dress. I pulled it out and handed it to Erin as I took my robe off passing it to Laura and she hung it up for me.

Erin lifted the dress over my head and helped me get it on, she zipped up the back of my dress and carried the train as I went to look in the mirror. Tears threatened to fall as I pulled all of my girls into a hug.

I released them and thanked them for everything they've all done to help me, "seriously guys thank you a lot, I wouldn't be here without any of you. None of this would be possible without any of you! I love you all!!" I spoke fighting tears yet again.

Just then the Laura spoke up, "ok girlies!! It's time!"

All of the other girls started dispersing out of the room to walk down the isle, but Laura stopped me. We looked face to face and she touched up my hair and fixed any loose strands

"I never had any close sentimental moments like this with my mom...she left too soon." I told her and she pulled me into a hug. "I know sweetie, I know. Trust me."

"Thank you for filling in for her over all of these years. I love you." I told her as I felt the tears fall.

"Oh sweetheart! I love you too!" She hugged me even tighter before letting go and helping me walk down the stairs to my father.

"You look so beautiful Remi. I wish your mom could've seen you, even though me and her always fought she would've loved to experience all of this with me and you." I wanted to cry when my dad told me that but I fought it.

"I miss her so much dad." I told him as I hugged him tightly, he didn't say anything but just rubbed my back.

Everyone walked down the isle in front of me where I could barely see Emmett's suit around the corner on the beach. My dad joined my side and linked arms with me, "You ready sweetie?" He asked tears clearly covered in his eyes not ready to send his daughter off. I nodded and we started walking.

As soon as he saw me he started crying, which made me cry. I slowly made my way down the isle as the soft music played in the background.

I slowly approached Emerson as my dad kissed me cheek and gave my hand to Emmett. He helped me up on the alter and we held hands as us and everyone's eyes layed on lane who is marrying us.

"We are gathered here today to celebrate the coming of these two amazing people. Who are not meant to be." He spoke as I looked at him with a scowl, he held his hands up slightly in defense and continued.

"It's true. These two are here not because they are meant to be, not in the slightest but because they chose each other. In the face of a million obstacles, they chose each other. When it seemed like they should give up, they chose each other. And they keep choosing each other in the face of every single twist and turn life brings them. Every single day. And that's not destiny. That is not fate. That's commitment. For richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, through stormy days and sunny skies... They have earned their happy ending."

He completed his saying and asked if we do.

"I do." I told him.

"I most definitely do." He told me as he grabbed my leg and pulled me into a deep kiss.

"Hey! I didn't- you know what y'all are husband and wife...continue kissing!" He told us and we all laughed as everyone applauded for us.

We pulled apart and intertwined our fingers as we walked down the isle.

I cut into the cake as Emmett's hand rested on mine on the knife, we both picked up the piece and i fisted the cake into my hand and shoved it in his face. He looked stunned and offended for a second before he told me, "your dead."

I laughed and tried to run away but he grabbed my waist and pulled me closer to him, copying what I did. He fisted the cake and smashed it all over my face.

Raedyn and Rowyn ran over to the cake and shoved it into each other's faces, me and Emerson laughed at the sight. Everyone around us was laughing as well.

I grabbed the wipes from under the table as everyone faded away from around us to the rest of the party. I pulled a single wipe out cleaning the twins Faces and hands before letting them join the party where they pleased. I grabbed another wipe cleaning of Emerson's face, then his hands. He then did the same to me trying not to smudge my makeup.

We grabbed the pile of wipes and threw them away in a near bye garbage can before joining everyone on the dance floor and having the time of our lives.

"Alright folks! We're going to play a little game!!" Wren spoke over the microphone pausing the music.

Lane and my dad brought two chairs out to the middle of the floor and told us to sit in them. We both looked at each other and did as we were told.

"Now! Take both of your shoes off, and hand one shoe to the other person!" Erin continued to order us, and we followed her instructions.

"When I ask a question whoever it most resembles rais their shoe!" I understood immediately as Erin started reading off of the list.

Once we finished the game it was nearly time to go on our honeymoon.

Everyone held up sparklers as we exited to doors and made our way to the car where I was greeted by Lane, Erin, Laura, and my dad. I gave them all hugs and we drove off.
