Summer Love - James Worpel

Chapter 81

A couple of hours later...

A few hours have passed and we have arrived at Meadowbank estate. We did a quick Macca's stop though because we were all starving.

We head into the dressing room which is going to be our little hangout for the next 20 minutes as the reception starts at 6pm, so everyone should be on there way now.

Taking photos was exhausting, but I got to spend some quality time with James, which was good. So far, everything has been perfect, and I hope to keep it that way.

I scoff down my food and everyone is impressed at how fast I ate, before getting my hair and make-up touched up.

Once that's done, I get up and peek my head outside the door and see that everyone has started to head into the reception and are finding their seats, which means that it's soon time for us to walk in.

I quickly close the door before anyone sees me and sit back down next to James who is on his phone.

"Alright, I think it's time." I say and James smiles, grabbing my hand and giving it a tight squeeze just as one of the waitresses comes in.

"Alright guys! It's showtime." She says and we all jump up and walk out of the room and into the hallway where we line up in order.

Clara and Will are first, then Marie and Finn, Ariana and Dylan then my parents, and James' parents, then the maid of honour and best man, then Matteo and Bella (Paige boy and flower girl) then us.

The MC (Dave) introduces all of them one by one until it gets to Matteo and Bella who hold each other's hands.

"I'm scared." Bella looks back at me and I smile.

"It's okay to be scared, but all you have to do is walk to the ladies and they'll hand you a ribbon that you need to hold okay?"

"Okay." She says with a smile and I smile back at her.

"Okay, now these two are a cuteness overload, let me introduce you to the Paige boy and flower girl. Matteo and Bella Bontempelli!" Dave announces. The doors open and they both walk out. A massive cheer erupts from the crowd as the two of them walk into the reception.

I look at James and smile, leaning in and placing a kiss on his lips.

"It's showtime baby."

"It sure is." I say and we both smile.

"Alright, now! Let me introduce you to the Newlyweds. Please welcome, for the first time as husband and wife James and Tahlia Worpel!" Dave announces and a huge cheer erupts as the doors open and James and I walk through to an iconic Italian song that is a must to walk in to on your wedding day.

James and I dance our way to the ribbon, where we are handed scissors. We cut the ribbon open and continue along to the cake. We stand there and pose for a photo before grabbing the knife and cutting the cake to the song "A jolly good fellow."

"Give it up for James and Tahlia!" Dave says.

"Now, can I please have the newlyweds to the dance floor to have their first dance as a couple." Dave says and James and I nod, as we head over to the dance floor.

We stand hand in hand. I rest one of my hands on James' shoulder, whilst the other is interlocked with his hand. James then wraps his free hand around my waist to hold me as we wait for our song to start. A thousand years by Christina Perri.

A/N - For the best possible results listen to the song!!

James and I start moving in time with the beat of the song, and I smile, as I look up at him. I have done it. I have married the man I love with all my heart.
