Chapter 11
The warmth of sand between my toes, the white sneery, the warm summer breeze. What could be more perfect than a beach wedding? Ryan looked nervous as he was waiting at the alter.
"Alright Nixie, what do you think?"
I turned to the familiar voice, Hannah's voice. Her dress fit her perfectly. Tight enough to show her skinny torso, waist, and hips then big and flowing at the bottom. Her makeup was on point. Not too much, not too little. It was perfect. Her dark brown hair was long and curly. She was just so beautiful.
"Oh Hannah!" I said tearing up, "I love it!"
"Nixie, baby, don't cry."
"I'm not." I said drying my eyes, "you just look amazing!"
"Thanks." She said with a smile.
"Alright people places!" Mrs. Cathie, the wedding director, said clapping her hands.
"You ready?" Aaron asked as we were linking arms.
"Yeah." I said as we were waiting to go down the isle. We were right in front of Hannah.
We kept getting closer to the arch to walk under and Aaron started to whisper.
"So rumor has it you have a crush on a guy at our school."
"Yeah?"
"Is he cute?"
"Hottest guy in school."
"Really?" He asked surprised.
"Yep."
"Well we both know it isn't me. I couldn't be hot enough to be with someone as beautiful as you. I would make you look less hot than you already do.
I looked to him. Words could not describe the way I was feeling.
"But," he continued, "I've been meaning to ask you a question for a while now."
Then there was a long pause.
"What?!" I demanded.
By that time we had to go our separate ways.
I starred at him. He kept mouthing something but I couldn't read lips.
"Would you like to read your vows to each other now?" The preacher asked echoing through my head.
"Yes." Hannah answered allowed.
"Ryan, would you like to go first?" The preacher asked.
"Sure," he began. "Hannah,...... Because of you, I laugh, I smile, I dare to dream again. I look forward with great joy to spending the rest of my life with you, caring for you, nurturing you, being there for you in all life has for us, and I vow to be true and faithful for as long as we both shall live. I love you Hannah."
"Ryan,.....
Take my hand
Come with me
Along life's winding way
Take my hand
Come stand with me
Together we will say
It's you that I have chosen
It's you with whom I stay
It's you with whom I share my life
I want no other way
I want you always by my side
Through laughter and through tears
The good the bad we share it all
Through all the coming years
Because I want this union
To continue to be blessed
I pray we both would care enough
To always give our best
I know that if we do our best
Then when our journey ends
We'll find that we've come through at all
Still lovers..... ever friends. I love u too Ryan!"
"You may now kiss the bride!"
They kissed, then comes the after party!
During the after party I ran into Aaron again and he finally asked me the question I've been waiting for!
"Will you go out with me?"
