Kierra
I stared at my wedding dress I felt a presence next to me I looked seeing my mama standing next to me.

"Are you ready to get dressed baby girl?"

"Yes ma'am."

My mama nodded she got my dress down I took my robe off and stepped into my dressed and she zipped me up I turned towards her.

"You look beautiful baby."

"Thank you mama."

"Are you nervous," she asked.

"No ma'am I am anxious though I haven't seen Aug at all nor have he text me."

"I think this time he's more focused."

"You don't think he has changed his mind do you?"

"Absolutely not Aug is ready to marry you I'm sure he's probably trying to get over here to see you."

I nodded then I sat down and put on my heels.

"Alright I'm ready."

"Okay."

We walked out of the room and A'Shanee walked up to me with my bouquet.

"Woah."

"You like it Shanee?"

"Like mama I love this dress."

The first time I went dress shopping I didn't like anything I saw so I had this dress customized.

"Thank you."

"This isn't one of the dresses we looked at."

"It's not this is customized dress."

"By who?"

"Danielle Monroe she DM'd me on Instagram she showed me her work and I loved everything I saw and I flew to her and she got measurements and customized this dress for me."

"Is wedding dresses the only thing she customizes?"

"I'm not sure all she sent me was wedding dresses."

"Okay Ima look her up later let's get you married again."

"Woah K this dress is stunning."

"Thank you Cha."

"You're welcome."

We all walked out of the room and down the hall the bridesmaids got with the groomsmen and Khari walked up to me.

"Mama you look stunning."

"Thank you Khari."

"You're welcome."

"Mama you look beautiful."

I turned and looked at Kameron.

"Thank you Kam."

"Are you nervous?"

"No."

"Okay."

My daddy decided to officiate the wedding so I got Khari and Kameron to walk me down the aisle and Melvin is once again the best man.

"How's your daddy?"

"Good been trying to get around to your side all morning just to see you but we kept him in the room."

"Okay."

The doors opened again this time for me and my boys I looked at the both of them and nodded. We started walking down the aisle I smiled at the guests then I put my focus on August.

August
I watched as Kierra walked down the aisle she looks breathtaking. Ain't no more screw ups or mess ups on my end I fucked up before and it'll never happen again.

"Who gives this woman to this man?"

"We do," Khari and Kameron spoke.

They kissed Kierra cheek then shook my hands.

"Love you pops," they spoke.

"Love y'all too."

Kierra handed Chandra her bouquet and I took her hands.

"You look beautiful K."

"Thank you baby."

"Ladies and gentlemen we are gathered here for the holy union of Kierra Valencia Sherad and August Anthony Alsina Jr."

I tried to focus on what Bishop Sherad was saying but I couldn't because I was mesmerized by Kierra's beauty.

"Kierra and August have written their vows who wants to go first."

"You can go," we both spoke at the same time.

"You go," I spoke.

Kierra cleared her throat.

"We've been through a lot our family and friends know and I'm not going to speak on it. I loved you since I was 16 and that love has never wavered or changed, you're my best friend, my lover, my peace, and my protector. I love you with my soul baby."

I wiped Kierra eyes I cleared my throat trying to hold back tears.

"At the age of 17 I fell in love with my best friend and I fought it for so long I didn't want it to be because I was so afraid that it would it would end our friendship. Years went by and we reconnected fell in love blended our family and had kids on own our own, we went through something that caused us to split and I can say that I lost myself when I lost you. I hurt you in the worse way I made a promise that I wasn't going to hurt you and I did. I love you Kierra and that haven't changed. I will continue to protect you, love you, be your peace, your best friend and your lover. I love you Forever and a Day.

"The rings please."

I got Kierra band from Melvin and Kierra got my band from Chandra.

We did the vow exchange then Bishop Sherad announced us as husband and wife we kissed then jumped the broom and walked down the aisle.

"We did it again."

"That we did Mr. Alsina."

"I love you Kierra."

"I love you too."

Our bridal party gathered around us.

"Congrats y'all."

"Thank you."

"Mr. August can I talk to you," Caiden spoke.

"Yeah."

"In private Mrs. Alsina too."

"Yeah K come here baby."

Kierra walked over I grabbed her hand and we walked away with Caiden.

"What's going on?"

"I wanted to ask you both for permission to ask A'Shanee to be my girlfriend."

"Yes," we both spoke at the same time.

"Thank you both."

"You're welcome we haven't seen her this happy in so long so continue with what you're doing."

"Yes sir."

We walked out of the room and headed towards the wedding reception.

"There y'all are it's time for us to take pictures," my mama spoke.

Chandra walked up to Kierra and she fixed up Kierra hair then touched up on her makeup. We walked over to where our bridal party was they opened up the middle for us to stand in and the photographer got started on taking our pictures.
