Every bride is beautiful. It's like newborn babies- they can't help it.

~~~~~"Oh my princess look at you!" exclaimed Meredith with glassy orbs as she watched her daughter's reflection through the mirror, in her white lace gown.
She had been waiting for this day ever since she had delivered her first child- dream of every mother, isn't it, to see her daughter walk down the aisle in her gorgeous wedding gown, arms linked with her father's, towards the love of her life only to be united forever.
She looked at her girl again and sighed. It is going to be very difficult, she thought. After all that they have been through, she just hopes that the wedding goes well. Her father's last wish would finally be fulfilled.
Meredith's eldest daughter looked beautiful in her designer gown, designed by the famous Ashlyn Jones, the most sought after designers in London. The laced bodice of the gown had silvered sequences and the tulle skirt flowed down her waist like a dream- giving it a very royal appearance.
There was a diamond tiara on her head from which her silken veil hung and covered her pretty face, but only partially. The make up had been done not by any renowned artists or the hair wasn't styled by and expert stylists- Melissa didn't need any of those, anyway. Her long blonde hair cascading down to her waist, her honey-hazel eyes gleamed brightly and had a child-like spark, made her naturally beautiful.
"Is this over, mum?" Melissa asked- "I'm really hungry now. You promised it wouldn't take long- and what about my honey lollipop?" she pouted with tear-stained eyes.
"Yes princess, go have your lollipop, but remember not to ruin your dress, okay?" Meredith warned seriously, but couldn't help but crack a smile when her daughter's face brightened.
"Promise! I love you!" Melissa screamed as she ran out of the room, her skirt bundled in her hands, the warning already forgotten.
"Be careful sweetie!'' Meredith shouted back, but in vain. She chuckled at the bride's antics.

Every soul in the hall looked at the couple in awe- they were made for each other, every body had to accept that.
The bride was actually the most beautiful anyone had ever laid eyes on, and the groom was, well- he was just him. Samuel looked nothing less than a prince. Dressed in a white tuxedo with a pink bow tie, hair gelled back, and a pair of black Gucci leather shoes- he looked ready for battle.
Many would agree than getting married was nothing less than a war, anyway.
"Sam honey, share your chocolate with your would-be wife. We haven't taught you to be selfish now, have we?" Sophia chided her son.
"But she will have all of it- she always does!" complained the groom to his mother.
"Come on honey, it's just chocolate, you'll have to share your life with her!" said one of the aunts and everyone in the room burst out laughing.
Sam dropped his shoulders in defeat and handed the chocolate bar to Mel. She stuck her tongue out at him and then ran away with her little sister- Marissa, close behind her toes.
Everyone laughed and discussed amongst themselves about how adorable the two were. This kind of a match was rare- maybe never seen before. The groom was eleven and the bride, eight.

"You may now kiss the bride-" the priest announced as he pronounced them man and wife.
"Eww, gross!" Melissa scrunched up her nose in disgust and moved her face away when Samuel advanced to kiss her, the wet kiss landing on her cheek. Which she wiped away immediately.
Everybody laughed again, something they've been doing throughout the evening, and Sam's face flushed in utter embarrassment.
