Heyy! it's been a while. I may or may not have quite literally forgotten about this💀 but I graduated so I'll have more time to update now. enjoy!
Stefania's POV:
*a year later*
I never thought I'd get married, let alone to a woman but here I am. Caterina, my maid of honor is helping me get ready. "So! How are you feeling she asked" "It's the morning of my wedding day and I'm about to start what I think will be the best chapter of my life. So, I'd say pretty good" she laughs. I pause for a moment before speaking again "Okay maybe I shouldn't say that out loud though; I don't wanna jinx it." "Oh, come on, you're not gonna tell me you actually believe that!" Caterina said, "well, I don't know, I mean, what if this was all just a fever dream and I wake up alone in my apartment with my ten cats and nothing to eat but cold leftover pizza?" I start panicking "impossible, you hate cats" she jokes. "I'm serious Caterina, what if something bad happens. I don't know what I'd do without her. Ugh! Can you tell I'm nervous? Because I'd say I'm a little nervous..." I start rambling before Cat interrupts me "hey, Stefania, breathe. This is all going to be okay. You're nervous cause it's your wedding day and that's normal but as soon as the ceremony starts you'll be alright, trust me. Just try to enjoy this as much as you can." She smiles and I smile back "you're right, I should just relax. I just really really love her" I sigh at the thought of Danielle. I can't believe I got this lucky with her.
Danielle's POV:
I'm getting ready for the ceremony. Jaina is prepping my dress, I just had my makeup done by one of Stef's makeup artist friends and Barrett is getting me breakfast. I'd say so far everything is going well. I'm not even stressed. I mean, I am a little, it's my wedding day after all. Am I afraid to forget my vows that someone will trip and the cake will get destroyed? Yes. But I don't have those irrational fears I had before my first wedding like thinking that my fiancé would leave me. Hopefully, this is an indicator that it won't happen this time. "Breakfast is here!" Barett announces as she comes in. "Damn you look gorgeous Dani" she adds "thanks" I blush. "okay we've got about an hour before we have to get to the venue, how are you feeling?" Jaina asks "pretty good to be honest. This all feels so right." I smile at the thought of my future wife.
Stefania's POV:
We're at the venue, Caterina told me that Dani just got here too. Everything was just beautiful; not too large with fairy lights all over the place. Neutral colors with just a touch of gold dominated the place. It's an outdoor wedding with a fair bit of greenery, this was Danielle's idea and I just love it. The whole thing felt so magical and romantic. I stand there for a minute feeling baffled by what's in front of me. I still can't believe this is happening. Part of me still doesn't want to believe it's happening. maybe because I'm still scared that it won't happen, that I can't be that lucky, that something will ruin everything and I won't be able to marry the love of my life. "well that's one hell of a venue!" Caterina says interrupting my thoughts. "it really is." I smile softly, feeling less anxious. "my best friend's finally getting married!" Caterina says before doing what I can only assume is some sort of victory dance. I laugh at her "and it was about time!" she adds "Cat!" I say pretending to be offended. she just smiles and directs me to the back of the venue.Danielle's POV:
The guests are starting to fill the place up. I'm starting to feel more and more anxious but something in me tells me I'm gonna be okay after all. Jaina rolls up behind me "hey." she smiles "hi." "So how do we feel about this one?" she asks "it feels," I pause trying to think of an appropriate word that would describe all the love I feel for Stefania, "right." I finished my sentence. Jaina smiles at me. "Good because we have to go in right now," she says "yes, yes of course" Jaina feels me tensing up "it's gonna be great," she says, giving me a soft look. Well here we go I guess.
Jain walks me up the aisle. I glance to my sides, I'm surrounded by the people I love. I realize that a huge smile has formed across my face, although this action wasn't really intentional. Love me tender by Elvis Presley is playing in the background. We get to the end of the aisle and Jaina stands behind me. Stefania followed quickly after me, along with Caterina. As soon as I saw her and her beautiful smile it felt like we were the only ones there.
Stefania's POV:
"I've been told that you wrote your own vows," I realize that while I had been totally mesmerized by Danielle, the marriage officiant had already performed most of the wedding ceremony. I look at him stressed trying to pull myself back together in order to say my vows. Luckily for me, Dani notices "I'll go first," she says. I sigh relieved "I'll try to keep it short," she begins "I never expected things to go the way they did when we first met and I don't think you can blame me for that. I mean come on you're a movie star. However, I'm so glad things ended up that way. Stefania, I feel lucky and proud to be able to stand next to you today, you're my partner in crime, my other half, my soulmate. You make me feel so loved and grateful to have you in my life. You're all I need. I love you." I try not to cry. "oh wow I guess you know how to get to a person," I say giggling. I take a big breath before speaking again "Danielle, I was instantly drawn to you when I met you. Your warm and inviting eyes and your magnetic smile softened my tough façade immediately. You helped me find myself and for that, I'll eternally be grateful. you're the person I care about the most in this world. You're the only person who could really understand me. All I wanna say is that since I met you there's one reigning emotion I've been feeling. I'm happy. truly and deeply happy. I wanna spend the rest of my life with you." I have a big smile on my face and so does Danielle. "Aww, that was beautiful. And now with the power vested in me by the state of California, I pronounce you wife and wife. you may kiss the bride." I don't hesitate before giving my wife a slow, passionate kiss. "I love you" she whispers "I love you too."
*two years later*
Danielle's POV:
Stefania and I are sitting on a bench in a beautiful communal garden. the same one we were in on our first date. she's lying on my lap watching children playing while I'm reading my book.
"We should head home soon," I announce, noticing the sun is about to set. "okay honey, just a couple more minutes, I wanna catch the sunset," she says. "whatever you want my darling," I say before kissing her baby bump and going back to reading.
-The end-
