Tori's POV:

I was braiding my hair in front of the mirror I saw it was lovely how I could charm myself even when Abigail did beg me to let her put my makeup on. I put my delicate flower crown on my head a gift from my mother surprisingly as I pulled my beautiful white gown over my shoulders. The gown itself was beautiful, it was a sleeveless thing that hugged my breasts and had lace shoulders that went down to either of my lower arms. It had a large train with small flowers decorating the bottom of the dress itself, my veil was a pretty thing with lace that matched my 'sleeves', my shoes were nonexistent as my mother had said that it was traditional for the bride whether a Flora or not to walk down the isle without shoes although I was thankful I didn't have to wear uncomfortable heels. Abigail shrieked and ran inside pulling me into a tight hug "You look beautiful!!" she squealed handing me the bouquet of sunflowers that I had especially asked for.

"Are we ready?" I asked her with a small smile my butterflies in my stomach seemed to be nonexistent this was something I had always wanted and now it was really happening. I gently pressed a hand to my stomach and laughed at the small bump already present it was smaller than Abigail's but still noticeable. "And here I thought we were supposed to get pregnant AFTER we're married" I laughed and Abigail just shrugged her shoulders in her white bridesmaid dress that went down to her knees, and hugged her waist. "Well you only live once right? Besides pregnant is so in season for weddings" she giggled. My Aunt Alexandria came inside and looked at us both with a small smile "we're all ready now let's get this bride out onto her alter" she smiled. I nodded and walked towards the door Abigail by my side.

"I'm going out first I'll see you when you come out!" Abigail squeaked brushing her eyes with a lace tissue "my baby's all grown up." she mumbled pulling me into a hug whilst I rolled my eyes. I waited a little before walking down the isle, my mother's arm in mine. It felt weird walking down the isle with my mother but my father was practically nonexistent and my mother demanded that she walk me down the isle instead of her asshole of a husband. Her words not mine.  Crys was throwing generous amounts of sunflowers down the isle and looked at me with a grin when she noticed I was behind her. She went to sit beside Kate who was standing beside Abigail before the bridesmaids sat down.

I looked up at Ethan with a smile watching his face flush as he stared at my dress. Ethan's chocolate-y brown hair was slicked back against his head, he was wearing a black tuxedo with black dress pants and a small rose pinned to his pocket. The alter itself was outside and the sunshine was perfect as it shown through the multitude of flowers that were on the alter. I stepped up the stairs careful not to trip and looked at Ethan with a smile. "This is it, huh?" I whispered and he nodded "you look beautiful by the way..." he muttered and I couldn't help but giggle. "Always so shy?" I asked and he bit his lip to prevent from laughing along. I looked at the priest/Ty's mother with a smile. She grinned at the both of us before reading through our vows I was only partially listening I knew every wedding you were supposed to kiss but that was what scared me. "Always so shy?" Ethan mimicked looking at my expression.

I went to swat at him but stopped myself remembering we were the center of attention. "I do." Ethan said apparently paying more attention than I was "I do." I mumbled, blushing profusely. "Then you may kiss the bride!" Ty's mother said clapping her hands together. Ethan cupped both my cheeks and pressed his lips to mine gently and I felt myself smile against his lips. I heard the screams, and shouts and whistles of all the guests and I blushed as we separated. Ethan grabbed my hand in his and pulled me down the isle as we laughed I tried to be careful not to stub my toes on the lace isle; thankfully I didn't. I stopped at the end and closed my eyes clutching my bouquet.

I looked in my peripheral to see Abigail whisper to Ty "I wonder what happens when I catch the bouquet." Ty gulped and his face flushed before whispering back to Abigail "I love you Abigail Chang I always have." he said with a shake of his head. She giggled and looked towards my hands clutching the bouquet of sunflowers expectantly. I smiled and closed my eyes throwing the wonderful bouquet that reminded me of Marilyn. I knew she was looking down from the sky or wherever she was wishing me the best of luck with marriage and parenting. I could practically hear her laugh as she said something along the lines of 'I told you he was way out of your league' I heard a squeal and turned around to see Abigail clutching onto the sunflowers laughing at Ty and running around like a madwoman.
