Cardigan

Chapter Forty-Three

Elle POV

Today was the wedding day Pascale had brought me breakfast, and Kika had made sure I had my morning dose of coffee decaf due to the pregnancy.

Charles had already rang to see how I was, but Kika took my phone away, saying he would just have to wait and see she wasn't happy when she caught him sneaking out of the house yesterday morning.

"Let's get you ready,' Kika says, coming into the room with the dress in her hands Pascale following close behind with the makeup case.

"What if he gets cold feet?"

"Charles won't ever get cold feet when it comes down to you," Pascale says "hes in love with you,"

"I know I'm just panicking for no reason. I'm just really nervous," I say. "I haven't even thought about if the dress doesn't fit. I have a bump now,'

"A bump that's not that big. You'll be fine, and you'll love fine," Kika says. "Now come on, we only have three hours before everyone arrives," I nod.

The worst thing was getting ready for my wedding and not being able to drink the champagne that both Kika and Pascale had in their hands of all the times to get pregnant it had to be before my wedding.

My makeup was finally done, and it was now time to slip into the dress. Kika unzipped the bag, pulling it out.

"It's even more beautiful than I remember," Kika says, hanging it up.

"I wanted to give you something,' Pascale says, walking back into the room 'me and your mother had matching necklaces, and I thought that for something borrowed, you'd like this," I smile as she puts it around my neck clipping it on it falls onto my neck I look down it. It was a silver necklace with a diamond in it. I smiled.

"I love it. Thank you," I say.

"Well, I also got you a little something,' Kika says, handing me a box. I open the box showing some diamond earrings. "Something new is sorted out for you," she says

"These are both perfect, thank you,' they both nod as my hair is finally done.

"Arthur's here. I told him to wait as we get your dress on," Pascale says. I nod, stepping into the dress as kika does the backup.

"You look perfect," I look at myself in the mirror, smiling.

"Send Art in," she nods, walking out Pascale following behind as Arthur walks into the room.

"Shit," he says, looking up. "I said I wasn't going to cry," he looks back down at me. "You look amazing," he says, taking my hands in his.

"I've got something for you," he says. "Remember when we made these," he says, pulling out the bracelet we made when we were younger, the beads reading out E&A. "It's your something old, but it's also blue, so it counts for both,"

"I thought you lost them," he shakes his head.

"I always knew where they were. i kept it for this moment. I'm also wearing mine," he shows his wrist the bracelet showing. "Always together, right?" I nod.

"Right," I smile.

"The others are arriving. You'll be walking down the aisle in no time,'

"Can you go and check on Charles to make sure he's alright?" I ask.

"Of course I will,' he kisses my cheek before walking out of the door, leaving me alone in the room.

Charles POV

There was a knock on the door, pulling me away from the mirror. I had checked myself over about a hundred times.

"Come in," Arthur walks through the door, smiling at me.

"You're bride told me to come check on you. I guess she knew you'd be nervous,'

"I am. How is she?"

"Nervous as well," I nod smiling.

"How does she look," he smiles widely at me.

"She looks unreal wait until you see her she's definitely something else,'

"This past hour seems like it's never ending. I just want to be at the end of the aisle,"

"You've not got that long left," he taps my back as Pierre walks in.

"You ready?" He asks. I nod.

"I best fo back to Elle ill see you on the other side,"

"See you on the other side," he walks out into the room elle was in as I make my way past he seated guests and to the end of the aisle my mother kisses my cheek as she takes her seat I breath in and out shaking my self as I get ready.

Pierre makes his way beside me, squeezing my shoulders.

"I've just seen Elle she's nervous but ready you're a lucky man," he says.

"She's ready?" He nods.

"Any minute now, she'll be standing beside you. I smile at him as the music starts to play.
