Music in this chapter: It's You - Westlife
It was one year later after their engagement. And it was now the day of their wedding. They were both so excited. Lyla had gotten all ready, and now she was about to see her mother.
"Hi mom." Lyla said smiling. Her mother turned around to face her daughter.
"Oh, my baby's all grown up!" She said as she placed her hands on her cheeks, tears in her eyes.
"I love you mom!"
"I love you too sweetheart!" Her mother answered as they embraced each other tears in both their eyes.
Now it was time for the couples first look. They were both excited and nervous at the same time.
With their backs facing each other, they held hands, and they talked to each other.
"Nervous?" Shane asked.
"A little. But excited most of all!" Lyla answered.
"I can't wait to see you. Everyone is telling me that you look gorgeous, but I'm just wondering how much more gorgeous can you get? Even at your worst times, you're still just as beautiful as you are when you get all dressed up!"
Lyla's eyes started filling up with tears.
"I can't believe I'm marrying you! I couldn't have asked for anyone better!" Lyla spoke.
"Are you ready to see your fiancé?" The Maid Of Honor asked.
"More than ever!" They both said in unison, and then chuckled at that.
"Alright, on the count of three, you both turn around." The Best Man said. Then the whole wedding party started counting down in unison.
"Three, Two, One!" Then Lyla and Shane both turned around to face each other. They immediately started crying, and embraced each other.
"You look absolutely beautiful Lyla!" He said tears streaming down his face. They let go of the embrace, and smiled at each other. Shane put his hand on her cheek. "I can't wait to marry you" he whispered to her.
"I can't wait either" She whispered back. Then they embraced, smiled at each other, placing their foreheads against each other's.
Now, it was time for Lyla to walk down the aisle.
She stood at the end end of the aisle, Shane standing on the other side. Her mom came up to her to walk her down the aisle. Lyla seemed surprised, while also having tears in her eyes.
"I couldn't let you walk down the aisle alone on the best day of your life." Her mother whispered in her ear. They smiled at each other, and linked arms as the piano started to play 'I Wanna Grow Old With You' by Westlife.
"I do." Shane spoke.
"And do you, Lyla Elizabeth Manner, take Shane Michael Donovan, to be your lawfully wedded husband, to love, and to cherish, in sickness and in health, for better, for worse, for richer or for poorer, till death do you part?" Spoke the pastor.
"I do." Lyla smiled.
"Then by the power vested in me by the state of New York, and by the Lord Jesus Christ, I now pronounce you, husband and wife. Shane, you may kiss your bride." The pastor smiled.
Shane took Lyla in his arms and dipped her down dramatically, and they both kissed, passionately and lovingly. When the let go from the kiss, they turned to face the crowd and linked arms.
"It is my pleasure to present you to, Mr and Mrs Shane Michael Donovan." The crowd cheered as the new Mr and Mrs walked down the aisle.
During the reception, Shane stood up, a microphone in hand. "Everyone, may I have your attention please?" After a couple seconds the room got quiet to listen to what he had to say. "Thank you. I just want to say thank you all for coming, it means a lot to the both of us for you to be here. I have a little something for Queen of my Heart, my beautiful wife Lyla." Shane smiled at his wife, and she smiled back. "Lyla, my love, this is for you." He said as a piano started to play.
"There's a laugh in my eyes
There's a waltz in my walk
And it's been such a long time
Since there was hope in my talk."
"If you never knew,
What it is that's new, It's You."
Shane smiled over at Lyla who already had tears in her eyes.
"Coz when your hands are in mine
You set a fire that everyone can see
And it's burning away every bad memory
To tell you the truth
If it's something new, Baby It's You"
"Ooh, It's you in the morning
It's you in the night
A beautiful angel came down
To light up my life."
"The world's a different place
Where nothing's too hard to say
And nothing's too hard to do
Never too much to go through
To tell you the truth
Everything that's new
Baby It's You"
He sung with such passion, smiling brightly every time his eyes met hers.
"It's you in the morning
It's you in the night
A beautiful angel came down
To light up my life, my life, ooh"
"So if I get to grow old
With many years behind me
There's only one thing I want
One thing I need beside me
For all that you are
For everything you do
For all that you've done
Just for showing me the truth"
Shane softened his voice and looked at his wife with love in his eyes.
"It's You, It's You, Baby It's You."
The crowd cheered when he finished the song, and Lyla got up from her chair and ran over to him, he brought her into an embrace, holding her tightly and spinning her around. When he set her down, they still had their arms around each other and Lyla whispered,
"Oh Shane, that was so beautiful, I love you more than words can describe!"
"I love you too, my love." Shane whispered back. Then they kissed lovingly.
They ended the night with the guests throwing rose petals, as Shane came out carrying his wife bridal style out to the car. They each said their goodbyes to their loved ones, and they got into the car.
Everyone waved them goodbye as they drove away.
