It had been rush, rush, rush all morning as everyone was getting ready for the wedding, including me, I had woken up later than I hoped to and now had to quickly get my hair, make up and dress all ready for the big day. I started to feel a bit nauseous throughout the day as I was getting ready, the thought of making the biggest commitment of my life made me feel happy yet, it was a big thing to do; I felt ready to do it though.
I struggled into my shoes last of all, beautiful sparkly high heels, they weren't my normal type of footwear, but they were beautiful. I hadn't seen Alan all day and I just couldn't get him off my mind, as you can probably imagine. We weren't allowed to see each other until we were actually going to get married.
Loads of people began getting stressed as we all were making our final adjustments to our outfits before we would have one final drink and then get in the car on the way to the church. I was going to be getting into a car with my dad, Rihanna and Stacy. Everyone was downstairs whilst I was still upstairs just finishing up on my make up.
I walked down the find everyone staring at me. My dad finally spoke "A toast to Lily and Alan!" then everyone raised their glasses and we drank. All this time Alan had been getting ready with all the rest of the boys, he chose Austin to be his best man. I could imagine that half the boys were getting drunk or something knowing them.
"Come on Lily, stop daydreaming, you have to come and get married" Rihanna tugged my arm and knocked me from my thoughts of Alan once again. We left the house and got into a cute little car and made our way to the church.
As we turned up I had the biggest amount of butterflies in my stomach than I ever have before. My dad opened the car door for me and Rihanna and Stacy got out of the back, we all took a deepbreath "Ready?" my dad questioned as he handed out his hand, waiting for mine. "Ready" I confirmed and took his hand, the music began to play as we walked into the door, everyone watched as my dad led me down the aisle and Rihanna and Stacy followed behind.
I looked ahead, because all that caught my eye was Alan, at the end of the aisle, he looked amazing as I had never seen him in a suit before apart from at Alfie's funeral, but this time I could be happy about it. Austin looked particualary cheery as I approached him and Alan.
Everyone fell silent as the vicar began to speak, my eyes scanned all the people sat in front of us, I could spot a very unhappy looking man, looking back at me, with pain in his eyes. Once he caught me looking, he smiled weakly and quickly averted his eyes somewhere else in the room.
*Jaime's POV*
Oh damn, she saw me looking, I have to try and look excited, maybe a smile will do.
Jaime, that was weak, just stop looking at her!
*Lily's POV*
Wow, that was odd. It was now time for me and Alan to do our own little speeches, I had been practicing mine so I wouldn't look silly. After all of the speeches the vicar finally said "You are now husband and wife, you may kiss" this is the moment I had been waiting for all day, I finally could kiss my Alan. All I could hear from the audience of our wedding was Kellin shouting stupid things. "I love you Lily" Alan whispered into my ear as he dragged me into a big hug, "I love you more Alan" I said back and squeezed him tighter in the hug.
Next up was the wedding reception, I stayed with Alan most of the time until his family arrived, I said hello to them but then I wandered off as I wanted some food. I bumped into Jaime at the food table, I knew it was Jaime from his accent when he said sorry, then he looked up and realized it was me.
He offered for me to sit with him at a table so we could eat, it was in the quiet corner of the wedding reception, and very awkward too. "Hey, what was wrong earlier?" I asked Jaime as we started eating. He looked at me confused, I kind of guessed he was trying to act clueless with me to get off the subject.
"Come on Jaime, I saw you looking sad, whats happened?" I tried to sound as comforting as possible but I just wanted to scream at him for an answer. Finally he spoke "Well, you want to know the truth?" he asked, "Yes of course!" I practically shouted into his face. We were now facing each other, I was waiting for an explanation. "You cant get mad but.." he gulped, trying to keep back something, he finally spat it out, "I cant get you out of my head, ive always had feelings for you, ever since that trip to England about a year back, and now, seeing you getting married, its slowly breaking my heart, ive tried to hide my feelings, but its too hard Lily!"
I sat there, completely stunned. I never realized that Jaime actually had feelings for me, if anything I thought he always acted off with me, everytime we spoke, but now I could see why he has always been like it.
"Jaime, why now..at my wedding?" I slowly spoke, I could feel a tear welling up in my eye, I didn't feel upset, I just felt guilty. "I'm sorry Lily, I just thought it was about time you knew, I will try to distance myself from you, I promise" he got up to leave, I couldn't just end a brilliant friendship.
"No, Jaime, you don't have to distance yourself, just don't get any closer, I'm really sorry you feel like this" my face fell into my hands, I saw his face drop and he comforted me, "Okay I promise I won't leave but I wont let my feelings take over either" he smiled. I believed him, and then we hugged it out.
My wedding had turned out a whole lot different in my eyes, obviously no one else knew about mine and Jaime's talk, but I just had to smile through it all, Alan helped, even though he didn't know it.
