The Darker Side of Me

*Wedding*

I ran my fingers through my curls one last time as my mom and Sarah fixed the back of my veil. Today was the day that Logan and I were finally tying the knot and securing our future together. Not that it wasn't already but this just made it official and all the more real. Yes I was still trying to wrap my head around the fact that we were actually going to be together forever now. It was all so perfect that it was almost unreal, like someone wrote a book about my life and have it a fairytale ending, even though this was definitely not the end. It was merely the beginning to a beautiful life. There was a knock at the door and my mom stayed standing with me by the bed while Sarah went to answer the door. I turned around and looked at my dress laying on the bed in front of me. It was the traditional white and was a satin ball-gown style. The skirt was mostly plain white and the top was a smooth satin material with rhinestones across the top and waist. The very bottom of the dress had beaded accents and a flowing train. All I was wearing right now was a white tank top, a pair of white boy-shorts, my veil, and a single diamond necklace with matching earrings.

"Come in," mom said.

"Hey," Hunter said as Sarah opened the door slowly.

"Hey baby, what's up?" she said.

"I come bearing gifts from the groom's wedding party. First off, from me to Sarah." He handed her a long box containing a silver chain necklace. With a little heart charm on the end. "From me to Noah." He handed me a box with a bracelet that said bitch. Some people may think it was rude but I've recently been calling him bitch so it was just fitting for the situation. "From Dustin to mother and sister." He gave my mom a picture frame that had a picture of her in the hospital beside Dustin who was holding me as a baby in his arms. I smiled and felt tears starting to form in my eyes. I waved my face trying to stop them from escaping and Sarah brought my my fan. When I was done, Hunter continued with the presents. A lot of them were for me and mom. When we got to Logan's presents, mom got a free complete spa day. Under all the stress of the wedding, mom has been saying she wants to take a day to herself and I found it cute and thoughtful that Logan got that for her.

"And finally, from Logan to his, and I quote marvellous wife to be," Hunter said handing me a small box.

I smiled as I took it from him. There was a rather thick card attached to the bottom so I pulled it off and opened it. I grabbed my fan off the table and started fanning myself, assuming that this present was going to make me cry. I took out the card that was inside and on the front was a light pink rose hair clip. I took it off and had my mom pull my bangs back using the clip to hold them there. I opened the card to reveal Logan's handwriting.

Dear Noah, 

Since you're reading this, I 

I guess I actually worked up 

the courage to ask you to 

marry me and you said yes. 

I just want you to know that 

I am grateful you gave me this 

chance to show you how much 

I love you. You are always on 

my mind and you have a  

special place in my heart 

reserved for only you. All day 

I will be thinking about you in 

all your beauty walking down 

the isle to finally let me make 

you mine forever. You mean  

the world to me and always 

will. I just wanted to tell you
