Y'all want me?

Chapter 35

Linc's POV

Today is the day. This is the start of the rest of our lives. Where we become one. The day we have so impatiently waited for, for a long time. I will be the one who will legally sign the marriage license, but Nick will say I do the same time as I do. We debated on who would sign the license but ultimately decided I would do it, not for any particular reason, just to have the legalities out of the way. It does not matter to any of us who signs the paper as long as we get to say our vowels and continuing to love on our girl and striving to make her happy for the rest of our lives. 

I am starting to get nervous and shaky as I try to get ready. We still have several hours before the ceremony but they are wanting to get all the groomsmen and groom pictures out of the way before we say I do. I am just ready to have Eliza in my arms. We have not seen her since last night when she was swept away from us by our mothers, sisters, her mother and her best friends. They told us we were not allowed to see her and that is not something we were happy about. I just breath and turn to Nick as he is pacing and trying to get his tie on. 

"At this rate you are going to wear a hole in the floor with all of that pacing." I say as I chuckle, some of my nerves leaving as I stare at my brother/bestfriend. To think that we are finally getting the life we have always wanted and dreamed of is unbelievable.

" I can't seem to stop. I just want her in my arms and I am realizing that in the last year, there have been very few days that we have not been with each other, and I am not handling it well. I guess I am just nervous that she is going to change her mind and that she is going to leave us at the alter and I am terrified this is all a dream and we will wake up and she will not be here. That she was just a picture in my mind and I will lose her when the alarm goes off and I wake up." Nick says with such seriousness I can see how much this is bothering him.

"Now you know as well as I do that none of this has been a dream. Babygirl is real and loves us very much. She will not hurt us and if I know our girl the way I think I do, She is with the ladies right now trying to calm her nerves as well. Mama has already texted me to tell me that she is ready to be back with us. She is ready to say I do and we are as well. Now if you could quit pacing, that would go along way to help calm my own nerves." I say trying to calm us both down.

The photographer comes in shortly after that and ushers us outside to the area she had set up for the wedding pictures. Getting married in Gatlinburg in the fall had major picturesque views for this already amazing day. We move all over, being directed to turn this way or that. All of the men in the bridal party had their pictures done and now the bridesmaids and kiddos were coming out to get all the pictures finished minus the ones with us and our bride together. After the photographer was done, we went back to the room until we heard a knock on the door. Our dads walked in and grabbed us into hugs before one of them spoke.

"Are you ready my boys? This day is a one you will treasure for the rest of you life but also remember that this is only one day in a million more. Spend the rest of your days treasuring what you have, never let a day go by without saying I love you. Do not go to bed angry, talk everything out and be sure to listen not just speak. Put each other first and do not let others come between you all. You will have a million happy moments but be prepared for the sad times too. Love with all your heart and never be afraid to show your emotions to the girl you both love so much."

I was in tears by the time dad was done. I was not a soft man but I was so emotional where Eliza was concerned and it was even worse on this way. I just know I will be crying as she walks the aisle. I embrace both dads one more time as Nick tells them how much we appreciate the advice and that we will come to them if we ever needed marriage advice. and Just like that it was time to get into the chapel to marry our best friend.
