Today was the day, the day Nash and I were to get married. It was currently nine in the morning and the service is at three. I still couldn't believe that today was finally the day, after all the shit we've been through I feel like we deserve this, a break from everything.

"Honey! The makeup artist are here!" My mom yelled from the kitchen. We were currently at Gabi and Brianna's apartment while the guys were getting ready at Cameron's house.

"I'm going Mom!" I yelled back. I quickly put on a robe over my undergarments and grabbed my heels. I ran downstairs careful not to trip on any of the toys or shoes that were scattered across the stairs.

"Ok let's get started!" Gabi screeched.

Once the makeup artists finished my hair and makeup I already wanted to cry, I still couldn't believe this was happening.

"Ok, time for the dress!" My mom clapped. Brianna brought the dress towards me and I slowly put it on, admiring every bit of it. Every part of the dress was beautiful, but what tied it all together was the veil.

"Oh my god, Alexa!" My mom cried. By now everyone was in tears, especially my father.

"Ok it's two! We need to get going!" My father cleaned his tears. "Wouldn't want the bride to be late."

When we got to the church there were friends and family members already entering. I saw Nash walking in with his hair slicked back and his hands in his pockets. Before he could enter he spotted the car we were in and waved.

When we went into the church I saw Nash at the end of the aisle talking to his three best men. I took in a deep breath and saw Olivia and Addie holding the flower basket. Gabi, Brianna, and my mom stood in front of me and I was in the back with my father to my left. I suddenly heard the piano being played, this is it, here goes nothing.

We walked down the aisle, everyone smiling and some crying. I reached the end of the aisle, I could see Nash's eyes popped out in shock. I smiled and laughed at the thought of a forever with him. How great this life will be, with him.

"We are gathered together on this beautiful day to share with Alexa and Hamilton as they exchange vows of their everlasting love." The priest said. "Who gives this woman to be married to this man?"

"Her mother and I." My dad placed my hand in Nash's and sat down.

"As Alexa and Hamilton take their vows today, we are privileged to witness the joyous love of a new family, a family that will be nourished and nurtured through the devotion of two separate individuals growing together through the common bonds of love. May their marriage bring them peace, joy, comfort, and contentment this known in the hearts of all God's children and may Hamilton and Alexa both look forward to each new season of their marriage just as the world looks forward to each new season of the year." he said. "For all seasons bring them their own special moments and memories. An essential requirement of a good marriage is a strong bond of real friendship and trust. Alexa and Hamilton, your love for each other will grow deeper with every passing day, but it's important to remember that your love stands on a foundation of genuine, mutual affection and respect for each other. To truly love another person is to be willing to accept both their strong points and their weak points, with equal measures of understanding and respect. The vows you are about to exchange ,will serve as a verbal representation of the non-verbal emotions that are as real as any thing that can be seen, heard or touched. For it is not the words that you will speak today that will bond you together as one but the strength of the love and commitment found deep within your souls."

We both looked at the priest and back at each other, smiling, knowing that everything will be ok.

"At this time, I'll ask you, Hamilton, and you, Alexa, to face each other and take each other's hands. Hamilton, will you take Alexa to be your wife your partner in life, and your one true love? Will you cherish her friendship and love her today, tomorrow and forever? Will you trust and honor her, laugh with her and cry with her? Will you be faithful through good times and bad, in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?"

"I will." Nash responded.

"Alexa, will you take Hamilton to be your husband, your partner in life and one true life? Will you cherish his friendship and love him today, tomorrow and forever? Will you trust and honor him, laugh with him and cry with him? Will you be faithful through good times and bad, in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?"

"I will." I said.

"We may now bring the rings up." the priest said. Hayes brought the two ending bands and handed us each one. "Hamilton, you may place the ring on Alexa's left ring finger." With that Nash placed the ring on my left finger.

"And Alexa you may place the ring on Hamilton's left ring finger." I placed the ring on Nash's finger and smiled at him.

"I now pronounce them husband and wife, in the name of the father, son, and holy spirit." the priest did the sign of the cross over us. " Hamilton you may now kiss the bride."

I turned to see Nash smiling when all of a sudden he dipped me and kissed me like in the movies. This was honestly a dream come true.
