My Right Hand 2

Wedding Bells

"You look beautiful Aleah." Grandma Francis says grabbing my hand. Today is the big day. "Thank you Grandma." I view myself in mirror. It's crazy to know the big day is finally here. I'm finally about to marry the man I love. It's been one crazy ass ride but Ty has stuck with me through it all.

"Mama." I pick up Tyleah, "Yes baby?" My babies are two now and Amaya is almost a teenager. "Cookie." "No cookies right now. Later okay?" "Kk." She says shaking her head and smiling. "Mama oh my gosh you look gorgeous." Amaya says coming in. "Thanks baby. Is everyone here?" "Dads people are here but I'm sure you mean August and crew?" I laugh, "Yes I do." Her facial expression goes from happy to a look of concern. "Well no not yet."

"What do you mean not yet the wedding starts in five minutes. It's already going to take me ten years to walk down through all that sand. Oh my God." Grandma Francis grabs my veil. "Aleah you can be stressing about that honey." Today makes 8 months of being pregnant. Ty is getting the boy he wanted, baby Tyson will be here soon. "I know grandma but I wanted him to be here." "No time for that... You truly look beautiful." Grandma says grabbing my hands before walking out.

The music begins to play. "Well that's our cue. Come on Tyleah." "Where My My?" I smile at my babies, they grow up so fast. Tyleah went from not saying a word to never being quiet. I don't know who she gets all that talking from. I check myself out one more time before stepping out of the tent and into the sand.

I look around and see our family ahead but still no August. I really wanted him here for this day. I know I sent him an invite and we just talked about it last week. I've been busy getting everything together I didn't think to call yesterday or the day before to see what the deal was. "Oh well here goes nothing Aleah." I say to myself as I walk through the to sand. The "Hear comes the bride" tune begins to play. I look back one more time before. Oh well.

I look across from me and see Ty with tears falling. "Stopp your going get me started." I whisper. "It's sand in my eye girl. Hush." Ty whispers back. I smile and lightly laugh. The preacher clears his throat and begins speaking.

"Dearly beloved it we are gathered here today partake in this Holy Matrimony of Aleah Jones and Tywon Jackson. Today is they day they become one in the sight of you all and God. Before I proceed if there is anyone who has any reason as to why this couple shouldn't come together in matrimony speak down or forever hold your peace...." He pauses, "Well-"

"Wait hold up!" August! I jump into his arms. "You didn't think I'd miss your big day did you?" He whispers. "Nigga you're late as fuck!" "I'm sorry, my flight got delayed... Well uh with all due respect sir and Ty I'd like to restart this here wedding and let it be done the proper way." I look up at him and smile. "Aleah Jones will you do me the honor of allowing me to walk you down the aisle?" "Yes." I say getting down off of him.

I look over at Ty and he smiles at me. I haven't seen August in a year and he's here! It was looking a little skeptical there for a minute. "Cue in the music." Ty says. I walk back to the top with August. "I thought I was going to have to come to New York to kill you." He laughs, "You would never. You love me too much." That's what you think August." We start walking back down, "Aye so I wanna run some by you.."

"Really now of all times?" I ask. This is such an August move. "Yes because it would be rude if I didn't ask." Looking straight forward, "What is it?" "Would you offended if I proposed to Taylor at the reception?" "You're that serious, you're ready to marry her?" "Well yes and she's pregnant. She makes me happy and I can't see myself with anyone else." "Well I guess if you can't imagine spending your life with anyone else than go for it. I support you all the way. I think it's sweet of you." "Thanks Aleah."

"Who gives this woman away?" "I do." August says stepping to the side. "I know you gone do her right bruh." August says dapping Ty up. We turn back around and finish where we left off. I look over and see August and Taylor. They do make a cute couple. Pregnancy makes her look even more gorgeous. I turn my attention back to Ty.

"Do you Aleah take Tywon Jackson to be............" Damn that's a mouthful to say. "I do." "Do you Tywon Jackson take Aleah Jones to be your lawfully wedded wife......." "I do." "My the power invested in me I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride! But not too much kissing we already have one in the oven." We laugh and then kiss. I'm finally Mrs. Jackson. I've been waiting for this moment for a long time. I hug Ty and then my babies run up to me.

We get to the reception and this is where to real party begins. "Hey Aleah!" Angelique says running up to me. "Hey love! You look beautiful." "Thank you. You look beautiful too. Hey Ty!" "What's up lil mama?" We go sit down at the table. August and Taylor come up, "You look amazing Aleah!" "Thank you." "Congratulations to the loving couple." August says. "Thank you August." I says.

We eat and dance. I go sit back down and take my shoes off. My feet are killing me! Trying to look cute isn't the move. "You good baby?" Ty says coming over. "Yeah I'm cool. Feet just hurt." "Give it here." I look over at him, "Baby they're dirty and sand all over them." I just looks at me, "Okay and." I smile and pass him my foot. "I think I like the perks of being Mrs. Jackson already."

I see August got over my Taylor. "Ah baby look!" I say hitting Ty. "Damn girl what?" Ty says lookin up. "Taylor you've been the best thing well next to my best friend.", August looks over at me, "That has ever happen to me. I couldn't imagine spending my life another second without you. I love everything about you from the way you smile extra hard when you're nervous to the way you leave your clothes on my hamper. You the one baby. Will you marry me?" "Yes August! Yes I will." Everyone claps. August looks at me and wink. I wink back.

Tyleah and TJ come over to us. "Pretty mama." TJ says. I smile, "Thanks baby boy. You so handsome." "Just like his daddy." Ty says picking him up. I laugh, "Yes just like his daddy..... Ah! Baby we finally did it." "Girl we been did that a few times already." "Nig- you tried it Tywon Jackson. You know what I'm talking about." He laughs, "Finally my Mrs. Jackson for forever now." "Till the World blows baby."
