Juno stood nervously at the end of the aisle as the guests began taking their seats.
He felt a hand lightly slap his shoulder.
He turned back to see Brody, dressed as nicely as he had ever been.
"Take a breath, man. It's gonna be fine." Brody said.
Juno took a deep breath and nodded his head. "Yeah. You're right."
"This is the best day of your life, remember?"
Juno smiled. "That's right."
"Stop tensing up, bud." Brody said, shaking Juno's shoulders.
Juno just began to uncurl his fists when suddenly the music started playing.
He turned back suddenly, feeling the panic almost overwhelm him.
He and Brody took their places.
He looked over at his dad, who was giggling at his nervousness.
He gulped, feeling the need to drink an enormous glass of water. He was parched.
His mouth was dry. His hands were sweating. His legs were wobbling.
The maid of honor walked down the aisle.
Juno's head started spinning. Everything was real now. This was happening. ACTUALLY HAPPENING.
Then Teddie walked down the aisle, holding a pillow with their rings.
He gave Juno a bright grin as he handed the rings off to the officiant.
Juno was trying so hard not to collapse that he couldn't even smile back.
Then he saw Poppy and finally smiled. She walked down the aisle, sprinkling petals and giving everyone her charming smile.
The guests all cooed at her.
After a few more seconds, the music seemed to slow down.
Zoey appeared in the distance like a beautiful angel.
She walked elegantly down the aisle, a small smile creeping onto her face as she looked into Juno's eyes.
They were teary, and he almost looked stunned.
She stood in front of him, looking up at him with a mesmerized smile.
He put his hands behind his back, nervously rubbing them together.
His heart started pounding out of his chest as he looked down at her.

"What did I ever do to deserve her?" He thought.

As the wedding party sat down and listened to the officiant, Juno's mind continued to race.
