My King and Princess

Evie's wedding

Evie's POV

I knew Mal, Ben, and their one-year-old daughter Beatrice, who was my goddaughter, were on vacation, but they were missing my big day where I get married to the love of my life, Doug. I decided to call Mal, and she answered. "Hey E, what's up?" Mal asked as she used the nickname she gave me. "Are you guys at the church yet?" I asked. "Almost.... just Beatrice this morning didn't wanna get in her car seat," Mal replied. "Oh typical Beatrice, that's my Goddaughter after all," I laughed. "When's the wedding?" Mal asked. "It's at 4 pm," I told Mal. "Ok, cool, it's like 10 am here," Mal replied. "We're almost there!!' I heard Ben add. "Good because Mal, I need your help getting into my dress!!" I said. "Hey, we're here!" Mal announced, her excitement palpable even through the phone. "Thank goodness! I was starting to think you guys had hit a traffic jam or were lost," I joked. "Never! Just mom-life. But I promise I'll make it up to you, just like I promised to be your best friend for life!" Mal said, and I could hear her footfalls as she hurried through the venue. A moment later, she burst into the room, and Beatrice perched on her hip, giggling at the sight of me. "Mal!! Help me into my wedding dress!!" I said. "Ok, ok, hold on, let me just put Beatrice down," Mal replied as she put Beatrice down on the floor. I looked around the room for Mal's husband, Ben. "Where's Ben?" I asked. "Ben went to help Doug. He's his best man," Mal replied. "Oh... well, can you help me with my hair?" I asked. "Sure, but we have time. The wedding is not until 4 pm, and it's now 11 am," Mal replied. "Ok... well, don't tell Doug, but I forgot my vows," I whispered. "E... you're fine... I forgot my vows when I married Ben three years ago," Mal said. "Oh wow, and to think you guys had Beatrice a year ago," I replied. Three hours later, I got married to Doug.
