Where it All Began

Wedding Day

Maddie's POV
I got up this morning at 7 o'clock. I feel refreshed and ready to go! I'm so happy! This is going to be one of the best days of my life. It is now 7:45, meaning the girls and I are leaving to go get our nails done. We're just getting a simple light blue for the bridesmaids and my maid of honor (Abby), and for me white tips. Around 9:30 we were all done and have about 2 hours before we have to go get our hair done. Since we have so much time, we decided to go over to the church to see how things are coming along. I got out of the car and looked with amazement. Everything was in its place. It's all so beautiful and perfect. I saw Wes walk out from the bathroom and smile at me. I smiled back and mouthed an I love you to him before turning around to go to the place to get out hair fixed.

After we got our hair done it was time to go to the church. I'm ready. I am soo ready for today. The girls and I went back to the church to start getting our dresses on. Jess was in there waiting to help me into my dress to make sure everything was perfect. I walked in in my jeans and baggy t-shirt and Jess looked at me. Damn girl, you look like you got hit by a bus. Besides your hair and nails. You ready? I chuckled and playfully pushed her sideways. Yeah. I'm ready. Help me? Absolutely. Let's go.
Jess walked with me to the back of the room where my dress was hanging up.
After I put it on Jess zipped it up for me and I smiled and even blushed a little. You look beautiful Maddie. Thanks Jess. She gave me a hug and held on for longer than usual. I love you Maddie. Always remember I'm here to talk if you need anything. I love you too. I will. I promise. I looked up at the clock on the wall. It's time. Let's do this. I looked over at all of the girls that will be standing next to me. They all looked perfect. C'mon. Dad's waiting for you. Jess and I walked out behind all the girls to go stand by our dad. You look beautiful princess. Thanks daddy. Jesse walked towards me and gave me a quick hug before he and Abby had to walk. Congratulations Mads, see you on the other side. He gave me a kiss on the cheek and walked over to Abby to start walking to the front of the aisle. Next was Caitlin and Jake. Then Jonah and Megan. And Isaac and Hannah. It's my turn. I looked at Dani and told the toddler it was her turn to go. She looked at me with the biggest and cheesiest smile ever and started to walk. My dad turned to me and held out his arm. I wrapped my arm in his and we slowly started to walk behind Dani. I looked at the end of the aisle and saw Wes, with the biggest smile ever. He looked star struck. I couldn't help but blush and smile. As me and dad followed slowly behind Dani, he leaned over to tell me something before we got to the end. I love you sweetheart. Take care of yourself. He's a good one. Thanks dad. I love you. He gave me a hug and kissed my cheek before giving me away. I went up on the altar with the man I love and he grabbed my hands. The the minister started.
