Wedding

Will and I decided we wanted a small intermit wedding with just our friends since weren't not close to my parents or his dad. So after only a 6 month engagement we decide its time to tie the knot. Ella is super excited to be my maid of honour, I'm sat finishing curling her hair
"You look pretty mom"
"So do you my baby"
"After your married does that mean I'll have a brother or a sister?"
"I hope so Ella. I really hope so. Ok your all done, go and sit with Erin" I look in the mirror at Erin who's sat behind me. Ella runs over to her and sits on Erin's lap
"My goodness your getting big. Have you been eating all of your vegetables?"
"Yup even sprouts" Ella pulls as yuk face making me chuckle. There's a knock at the door making us all turn around
"You guys decent?" I hear a voice I'm familiar with
"You shouldn't be here it's back luck" Erin shouts
"I'll close my eyes"
"It's fine let him in" Ella gets off Erin's lap and pulls Will
"Don't ruin my moms wedding please"
"I won't promise"
"What are you doing?" I ask walking over to him
"I missed you" Will bends down and kisses my forehead "I hate being apart from you and Ella"
"Well the sooner you leave the sooner you and YN can get married and go on your honeymoon. Now go"
"Ok ok" Will puts his hands in the air "I'll see you in a bit" he kisses my head again and then Ella pushes him out of the room. She walks back in shaking her head
"Men" she comments making me burst out laughing.

The time has come for me to walk down the aisle. Since my dad won't be walking me down, Ella is going to hold my hand and walk me down. The music starts playing, Erin walks down the aisle first then Ella and I. We reach Will and I give Ella my flowers
"I love you my sweet girl. I love you so so much"
"I love you too mom" I give Ella a kiss on the cheek and hand her over to Erin. Will holds his hand out and I make my way over to him
"Welcome everyone, we are gathered here today in the presence of these witnesses, to join YN YLN and William Halstead in matrimony. Into this these two persons present now come to be joined. If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together let them speak now or forever hold their peace"
"Don't!" Ella shouts making everyone laugh. I swear she's a teenager in a 8 year olds body
"Ok I have been told the bride and groom have their own vows"
"YN. From the day I met you I know you'd be my wife. I have never and will never love someone the way I love you. You've shown me true happiness and I can never thank you enough for that. I promise I will cherish you and love you for the rest of my life. And I promise that I will always treat Ella as if she were my own"
"I remember the day we met like it was yesterday. You helped me in more way than one that day. You saved me and my daughter. You took us in, showed us your family and now we have the biggest family I could have ever imagined. I know both Ella and I are safe with you. I love you Will and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you"
"Could we have the rings?" the priest says. Jay, Will's best man, comes forward and holds out the rings
"Ok repeat after me" he looks at Will "I William Halstead"
"I William Halstead"
"Take thee YN YLN to be my lawfully wedded wife"
"Take thee YN YLN to be my lawfully wedded wife"
"To have to hold"
"To have to hold"
"From this day forward until death do us part"
"From this day forward until death do us part"
It's then my turn to repeat the priest then finally we are at the end of the wedding
"By the power vested in me by the State of Chicago I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride" Will's lips are instantly on my mine and he dips me deepening the kiss.
