It has officially been two hours since Carter and I have gotten married. We are in the midst of the reception right now. It's going great, James is dancing with some actually attractive guy that came up to him and started chatting to him a little bit ago. No James is not gay, but he might just be after this is over. Macie is dancing with Bryce, and I must say that they need to be the next ones married. Carter and I have already had our first dance, I knew that I couldn't dance for nothing, but Carter can really dance. I stood on his feet for the most part so it made me look less stupid. After the reception I have to get into my more casual ensemble in which I will be flying in to our honeymoon destination that I don't know of yet. (photo on side) We leave for that in t minus thirty minutes.

"Hey Jaylyn, I have something to give you." James came up to me and handed me an envelope that read "to Jaylyn on that special day". I got curious and started to open it when Carter came up and told me that James said I may have wanted to read it privately and wanted Carter to be with me when I opened it. I sat down on the little bench and finished opening it with shaky hands. It was a letter. I unfolded the thin sheet of paper and began to read it. Almost immediately tears sprung to my eyes.

My beautiful Jaylyn,

If you are reading this now, just know that I am watching over you today on your special day. Congratulations! I always knew somehow that Carter was going to be the one you married one day since the first day I met him after James and I got back from our trip. I am so proud of you and that person that you've become in the years you have lived with me. I know that your mother and father and grandma would be very proud of you to. We will all be looking down on you from our front row seats up there. I was hoping that I could be there to watch you walk on your special day, but this is taking a seriously major toll on me as the days pass. Yes I am writing this while resting. Have a grand time on your honey moon and be safe. In the years I have known you, you have became so much like my own. I love you both, and James to.

Love,

Lucy

By the time I finished reading it, I was full on crying. My makeup was probably messed up at this point and Carter was now reading it and holding on to me. Macie came up to us and took over Carters place so he could finish reading it. Although as much as I am crying right now, I really want to smile. That letter made my day and I hope she knows it. I brought my head up off of Macie and looked up at the sky and smiled. At that moment I swear the sun started shining brighter and I made me smile wider. Carter finally got up and came over to where Macie took me and grabbed my hand while placing a small kiss on my lips. We dried our eyes and began walking back towards our party since it was time for me to get changed and then say bye. Carter went to entertain the guest some more, and Macie took me to get changed and fix my makeup and hair. (once again photo on the side)

~ half hour later~

Macie was finally done transforming me once again. I looked in the mirror once she allowed me to and smiled. I have to admit my best friend is an absolute bae when it comes to selecting clothing and planning major events like this. Everything was beautiful and exactly like I visioned it to be. It was now time to say bye to all our family and friends then leave and head to the airport.

I stepped outside and met up with Carter and everyone lined up on the sides of us to say bye. James was crying as I leaned over and hugged him. I told him thank you and the take care of my best friend and the house. I told Bryce the same thing as Carter shook hands with him after hugging James as well because he refused to shake hands with Carter now. Lastly I hugged my best friend and told her that I'd call every once in awhile to check up on her and James. At the end of the rows of guest Carter and I turned and waved to everyone one last time and climbed in our new car and we were off. The airport was not that far, about an hour away. So I just decided to rest my eyes until we arrived, since I knew it was going to be a long night. Little did I know that this was not gonna be a perfect end to a perfect day.

~ nearly to the airport ~

I was just waking up out of the slumber when all of a sudden Carter started flipping out and the sound of a car horn getting louder and louder near us. Our driver swerved to the other side of the road and that's when it happened. My life flashed before my eyes and then it was black. I woke up some time later to nothing but white. White walls, white bright lights that really hurt my eyes. I couldn't move my head much either. What the heck happened was my first thought. Clearly I was in a hospital, and then it came back to me. We got into a wreck on the way to the airport. CARTER! I forced my head to look around the room and he was sitting next to me in a chair with his arm in a cast and a few bruises here and there. I moved my hand as far as I could to touch his but I didn't get very far with that idea. But he must have felt it cause his head snapped up in a seconds worth of time. Next his arms were around me as best as he could get them and was crying. "Jaylyn, omg I'm so glad your ok, I thought I was going to lose you!" he told me. "Carter what h-h-happened?" I asked as best I could. According to what he knew, a car was on our side that wasn't supposed to be so our driver swerved to the other side and hit us head on. He said that I hit the window and the car flipped a couple times. At that point I wondered how he only came out with a few scratches and bruises. Where as I was still in a bed with needles and a cast on me as well as bruises and scratches. He said that he got released not long after being brought in.He told me that he was really upset at how hurt I was from the accident and was wishing it was him. I thought that maybe God was already trying to test out our faithfulness to our vows to each other. And maybe so, but I'm just glad that Carter is okay and I'm fine as far as I know until I learn otherwise.
