Love.

Love is a funny thing to think about really, it means so many different things to so many different people. You can love many things; your family, your friends, your kids, your dogs, your job, your car, you can love almost anything. But being in love that is a completely different story you can only be in love with a certain amount of things and one of those certain things is your other half, your soulmate, the love of your life.

If you would've asked me 5 years ago if love even existed I would have said between humans no, so if you asked me about being in love there would have been no room for argument in my book.

Yet I was wrong once again.

But I wasn't wrong about fairytales not existing. Calum and I do not have a fairytale, yes we love each other and yes we are in love but we don't have a fairytale not like in the movies. Fairytales portray these relationships that never fail, but Calum and I's relationship has failed multiple times but our love never did. Our love always pulled through, so no fairytales do not exist but love does. And love is stronger than any problems a relationship can face.

All my friends think I'm crazy when I tell them this and yes I have friends now. They all say that I have a fairytale, but they don't look at it the way that I do. They think being in love is a fairytale and it is pretty damn close I'm not even going to lie, but no it is not a fairytale. It isn't a fairytale because I'm not a princess, Calum's not a prince, we don't live in a magical kingdom, and we will not live "happily ever after"; I can be a straight up bitch most of the time, Calum has incredibly annoying mood swings, we live on earth which means it's not just rainbows and butterflies all the time, and we argue, fight, cuss, and scream at each other sometimes. But just because we don't have a fairytale does not mean we don't have a devastatingly beautiful and undeniably amazing love for each other. Our love is not devastatingly beautiful like a tragic love story resembling 'The Fault in Our Stars', our love is devastatingly beautiful because if one of us leaves the other falls apart and becomes a pile of ruins.

We are nothing without each other and that is why we are gathered here today in this church, so we can become one to everyone else since we are already one person in our own eyes. This is just the final step in becoming more together than we could have ever imagined.

As I inspect myself in the mirror and all these memories and feelings come rushing back I am sure that this will be perfect. My white dress comes down to my knees and the lace covers the entire dress and my arms. The tiara on my head holds my short veil that comes down to my shoulders with my hair tied into an intricate braided bun and the bouquet of white roses was placed perfectly in my hands. My red lipstick pops and my silver shoes shine, I don't look like your average bride but that is exactly what Calum and I wanted. We didn't want the "fairytale" wedding we wanted it to be our wedding and ours alone, we didn't want the same thing everyone else has we wanted our wedding to describe us and our relationship.

We decided to have a small wedding with only family and very close friends and it is being held at a very beautiful garden in Sydney. It's a butterfly house actually and it is absolutely stunning here, everything about this place is perfect for our wedding. The isle is just a dirt path that leads from the door to the wooden bridge Calum and I are standing on for the vows, all the seats are on the side of the isle as usual and there are only around 30 people coming to the wedding. The entire setting is covered by trees and flowers and the bridge Calum an I will be on is over an actual running stream. You can see the sky through the roof because it's all windows up there and that is exactly why we decided to get married after sun down, so we could get married under the stars. Isn't that romantic? Calum's so adorable, this venue was entirely his idea and it turns out I liked it more than him.
