Finding Joy

Chapter 50

"The ceremony was beautiful you two." My mom said as Devin and I got into the limo.

We just finished taking pictures of the bridal party and just Devin and I with them. Luckily, the bridal party took most of their pictures before the service so that the wait time would only be an hour and a half. A

"What bout me grandma!" Cara asked.

"Oh you and Melanie were the cutest little flower girls ever." My mom said smiling at them.

Cara giggled blushing slightly. "Thank you grandma."

"You're welcome sweetie." She smiled and kissed her.

"Ma, we've got a schedule." I reminded her.

"Yes baby. I'm sorry you guys get on your way." She said.

I couldn't help but shake my head at my mother. She was so excited and happy about the wedding she bawled through the whole ceremony. I could here her sniffling the entire time.

She closed the door and the girls and I sat with each other.

"Uncle Dee Dee, Auntie Lau, Thank you." Melanie said.

"What you thanking me for baby girl?" He asked her.

She smiled. "For giving me a family."

I couldn't help but tear up at her. "Thank you for being apart of our family." I told her with a kiss on the cheek.

I hugged her tightly and she hugged back.

"Group hug!" Cara said and Devin and Cara joined us.

"T-this the place?" Cara asked seeing the abundance of vehicles parked as we slowed down.

"Yes baby. Are you okay?" I asked her.

She nodded and looked away from the window. "It's gon be lot of people."

"Yes, are you okay with that baby?" I asked her.

She nodded unsure. Cara can't and doesn't do well with big crowds. In the church, it was a little different because everyone was seated and quiet. Because it is a reception it won't be so quiet. Cara fiddled with her fingers and then whispered in Melanie's ear. Melanie's eyes got big and she shook her head no.

"What's wrong?" I asked her.

Cara shook her head. "N-Nothing mommy." She said lowly.

"You telling mommy the truth?" I asked her and she nodded.

I let it go, knowing whatever she was talking about was supposed to be a secret but after this, it would be no more.

"Come on ladies." Devin said opening the door to the limo and helping each of the girls out and then myself.

When we got in, the lights were shinning and we walked in as a family, I held Caras hand as Devin held Mels.

"Now, for the first dance. Mr. And Mrs. Devin Thomas!" The Mc said and Devin and I stood up.

It's love, by Jill Scott came on, and we danced the slow part. Once we finished the first part to that song, the track went into Jill Scott's So In Love featuring Anthony Hamilton. Together, we love that R and B, soul felt music. As we danced Devin and I sing the lyrics of the song and it felt magically.

"Oh I'm so in love with you." I sung to him and he spun me around. "I'm so in love with you, that I can help myself."

"As long as it's me and you, we don't need nothing else." He sung back.
