Chapter 19 THE WEDDING

Chapter 19

“Tayah!” I yelled as I shook her awake. She opened her eyes and rubbed them.

“Hey Len.” She said groggily and stretched up her arms.

“Guess what today is?” I asked making her eyes widen.

“Holy shit it’s my wedding day today.” She said. I nodded and pulled her out of the bed.

“Let’s go! I wanna do your hair and makeup and I also want to do your nails.” I said. She stood up and walked into the bathroom, I walked into my room and grabbed the dresses from my closet. I hung them up and then walked to the bathroom. Tayah was wearing a pair of sweatpants and a tank top and had showered.

“Sit down im going to do your hair.” I said. She sat in the chair I had brought in earlier. I grabbed the blow dryer and I brush and started drying her hair. Once her hair was completely dry I grabbed the flat iron. I made her golden hair laser straight and started teasing it a little bit. I put her bangs into two braids and pulled them back into a bun. I let two ringlets of hair fall down on each side of her face.

“Make up time!” I cheered and pulled out the boxes of makeup I had.

I did a natural look with bronzes and light browns. On the lashlines I put a thin layer of brown eyeliner. I covered her eyelashes in mascara. I kept brushing them until there were no clumps and they were perfect. I checked the time, it was 3:00PM. We had 3 more hours until we needed to leave. So Tayah and I decided to eat a little dinner. We had rice and chicken.

When we finished dinner we went back upstairs, I pulled Tayah’s dress out of the cover and untied it, I held it out for her to step into. Once she had it fully on I tied up the strings in the back, tight. It was a fully lace dress with a strapless sweetheart neckline. There was a small grey sash around her torso.

“You look… like a bride.” I said, she nodded.

“All thanks to you.” She said and grinned at me.

After Tayah was ready I did my hair and makeup. I curled my hair and let it fall loosely down my back. For my makeup I just did a simple smoky eye.

I pulled my dress off the hanger and unzipped the back. It was a light pink and the top part was a thin chiffon material.

“Len you look beautiful!” Tayah exclaimed wrapping her arms around me in a tight hug.

“So do you.” I said. I looked over at the clock. It was 5:45. I handed Tayah her bouquet of flowers and grabbed the bottom of her dress so she didn’t drag it on the ground. We walked down the stairs and out the door. We got into the car and drove to the beach.

We pulled up and got out of the car,

“Are you ready?” I asked. She nodded/

“Of course. I’m marrying the love of my life.” She said and grabbed her bouquet. The beach looked beautiful, we scheduled it so Tayah would walk down the aisle right before sunset and by the end of the ceremony they could take pictures as the sun was setting. I grabbed Tayah’s dress and she walked down the aisle. There were only about ten people there but it was perfect. There were torches lit the whole way down the aisle. Max was standing at the end of the aisle grinning as if he just won the lottery. We got to the end of the aisle and I laid her dress down and grabbed her bouquet of flowers from her hand which immediately clasped onto Max’s hands. I stood beside her. The ceremony went on. I looked at all the guests and caught Caleb’s eye. I smiled and looked down at him wearing a suit. He smiled back at me and then we continued watching the ceremony. Teddy was Max’s best man.

After they exchanged their vows which were beautiful by the way the officiant said,

“Do you Maxwell Brooks take Tayah to be your lawfully wedded wife?”

“I do.” Max said grinning like a joker.

“And Tayah Johnson do you take Maxwell to be your lawfully wedded husband.”

“I do.”

“By the power vested in me I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss your bride.” Max grabbed Tayah’s face and pulled it to his. Everyone cheered, I pulled out my Minolta camera and snapped a quick picture of their first kiss as man and wife. All the guests headed off to the reception while I stayed back and took pictures.

I got one of Max and Tayah hugging eachother and another with them making weird faces and another one with Teddy and Max carrying Tayah and another with Max carrying Tayah bridal style and a picture of Tayah carrying Max bridal style. Then I took one of Max and Teddy. I got about 60 more too I had to keep reloading the film. Once I had taken enough pictures Max Tayah and Teddy all headed off to the reception. I stayed behind to take a few pictures of the beach. I took a picture of the sun setting when a pair of strong arms wrapped around me. I leaned back into his muscular chest and sighed taking in his familiar scent.

“I love you Len.” Caleb whispered his strong british accent giving me the chills.

“I love you too Caleb.” I whispered. We watched the sunset for a while then took off to the reception.
