The murmuring of the wedding guests are heard from the groom's room as I finish up the final details of my tuxedo. A classic fitted grey tux with a white shirt and soon a dark green silk tie. I straighten my boutonniere, begin tying my tie and then finish buttoning up my jacket before a knock comes to the door and my father walks in.
"Hey, Matty! You almost ready buddy?" He says as he comes in and closes the door.
"Yeah, dad" I reply softly as I fickle with my hair a little then smile at my reflection. Perfect. I turn to him, my smile brighter "Ready"
"My boy" He comes closer and claps his hand on my back "I'm so happy and proud of the man you've become. I love you, son" he says with teary eyes. Awwww.
"I love you too dad" I tell him as I wrap him in a tight hug.
"Daddy!" Little voices scream as my four children run into the room in their formal attire. My 2 year olds, Derek and Rosalina, clumsily following their older siblings.
"Don't you all look beautiful and handsome" I smiled and squatted down. All four wrap their arms around me. "Are you guys ready?" I ask them and they all nod.
"Mommy won't let us have the flowers or rings yet" Audrey pouted. I chuckled and lightly pinched her cheek.
"Don't worry, you will get them, Where's mommy?"
"Finishing getting ready" Declan says as Corrine enters the room.
"There you guys are, I was wondering where you ran off to" she says relieved.
"Mama" Rosalina excitedly babbled as she waddled over to her.
To clear some things up, roughly two to three years after the twins were born, Corrine sparked the idea of wanting to carry her own child which sparked the idea for Ryder of having a blood child as well. So, through the doctors, Amber was impregnated by Ryder's sperm and Corrine was impregnated with mine. Resulting in Derek and Rosalina.
"Okay, I finished with your mom's and my hair!" Amber exclaimed as she burst into the room. "Looking snazzy, Matt" she nodded her head as her eyes flickered over my suit.
"Thanks" I smiled at her then looked at my watch.
"Jace is running around with his head cut off" Amber giggled.
"Oh, I bet. He wanted to make this day perfect" I chuckled and shook my head at my best friend acting like a bridezilla trying to put together this wedding. "Okay, get the kids out there. The music will start in five minutes"
"Alright! C'mon kiddos" her and Corrine ushered the kids out into the hall.
"I'll go wait with your mother" my dad says before exiting the room as well.
I let out a big breath of air. Finally, the day I marry Ryder. I smile as I remember the day I proposed to him.
It's our three year anniversary and we are at a fancy restaurant that I picked out because I wanted it to be perfect. I spent the last couple months figuring out the perfect ring for Ry. When I finally found a black tungsten band with a blue stripe going through the middle, I knew it'd be perfect for my Ry.
"You know, we could've just went to our favorite diner Matthew" Ryder says as we look at the menu. We've never been to this place before but I had looked at their menu online and called ahead of time to notify them of the special event taking place.
"We did that last year. Do you not like it here?" I asked, biting my lip nervously.
"No, no that's not it mon amour" he reassured " I just didn't think you'd wanna come somewhere.... pretentious" he admitted with a half shrug.
