Coming Back To You

~Epilogue~

Five years later

Bella's POV

I look at myself in the mirror, Sophia with me.

"How do I look?" I fluff my dress to ease some tension creeping throughout my bones and nervously glance at Sophia's reaction.

She groans in admiration and says, "Sei bellissima, Bella."
(Italian | "You look beautiful, Bella.")

I try to laugh off the compliment since I've never been able to take a compliment.

"Grazie, Sophia," I smile at her and hug her tightly.
(Italian | "Thank you, Sophia.")

A few hours later, I'm exhausted from greeting the guests and flop down on the couch with a tired sigh.

"Tired?" Sophia plops down next to me.

"Yes, do you know how hard it is to greet 50 plus people in just a few hours? My wedding day was not made for this, I'm not made for this." I fake pout.

"Well, at least you got it over with. Now it's the easy part." Sophia smiles reassuringly.

"Nothing is easy about having a wedding, Sophia."

"Point taken." She smooths down a ruffle that folded up and pats it.

How people are able to organize weddings is beyond me, but I give them a whole ton of credit because combining tasting possible flavors of cake and picking the types of flowers and ribbons, I was tired from doing that.

Nick's POV

I wipe my hands on the back of my pants, nervously glancing at the doors, when Zach pats me on the shoulder.

"Hey man, I know you're nervous, but don't be. You've been quite literally waiting for this moment your entire life," he wipes off an imaginary piece of lint from my shoulder, "just don't screw it up." He smiles.

"Thanks pal, the pep talk really eased my tension."

"You're welcome, you know you love me."

"Stop it," I playfully shove his face away and his head shakes with laughter as he goes to stand next to his date, Ava, one of the bridesmaids. Apparently, Ava and Bella knew of each other when they went to the same college in Britain, so Bella had no problem making her a bridesmaid.

And it seems Zach has taken a liking to her. He may try to deny it, but I can see it in the way he looks at her.

The sound of the wedding music snaps me out of my thoughts as the doors open. My eyes widen as I finally see my beautiful fiancé walk with her dad.

Once she gets to me, I shake hands with her father and as I lift her veil, tears immediately begin to spring to my eyes.

She's beautiful.

She lifts her hand to wipe away a tear that escaped and takes my hands as she stands in front of me.

I've never seen something so beautiful.

(Towards the end)

I stare into Bella's beautiful honey brown eyes as I say, "I do."

Bella looks into my blue green ones as she says, "I do."

"You may now exchange rings. You'll wear these rings as a symbol of love and eternity, and a promise of the vows you have just taken."
