One Life

Epilogue Part 2

1 year later

Justin's POV

Today was a huge day. I was marrying to love of my life. I looked in the mirror and took deep breaths to calm myself. God I was nervous. It's been a hectic year planning this wedding and now the day was finally here. Over the year both Lauren and I would have small arguments on what we wanted for the wedding. We both had completely different ideas. In the end we both found a compromise. I was just thankful she hadn't turned into a bridezilla.

Lauren had 6 bridesmaids. At first I freaked out because I didn't think I'd be able to find 6 groomsmen. Well I knew I could find 6 no problem but I wanted 6 who I've known for years. I didn't want to pick someone just for the sake of it.

Lauren picked her sister Taylor to be her maid of honour and then her friend Lucy and Ally, Dinah, Normani and Camila were her bridesmaids. I asked Ryan to be my best man as he was my oldest friend, then I had Chaz, Cristian, Za, Skrillex and Jaden Smith as my groomsmen. Both Lauren and I decided that Jaxon could be the ring bearer and Jazzy the flower girl. Both of them were so excited to be part of the wedding.

"You ready?" Ryan asked.

I nodded my head and we both made our way to the altar. The church was packed with friends and family. Ryan hugged me before he made his way to the entrance of the church to meet the bridesmaids. As it got closer to 3 o'clock I became more nervous and excited. I took deep breaths to calm myself.

The music started and everyone turned to look at the entrance. The first to walk up were Jaxon and Jazzy. Jazzy was throwing flower petals down the aisle whilst Jaxon carried the rings. They both looked cute, with Jaxon wearing a black suit and Jazzy wearing a blue dress.

Then the bridesmaids and groomsmen began to walk down the aisle. The bridesmaids were also wearing blue dresses and the groomsmen wore black suits. Ryan was paired with Taylor and they both walked up the aisle first. They were followed closely by the rest of the bridesmaids and groomsmen. Chaz was paired with Camila, Cristian was with Ally, Jaden was with Lucy, Za was with Normani and Skrillex was with Dinah. I smirked when I saw Za paired with Normani because I knew he had a thing for her. I could see he was trying to play it cool but I knew he was freaking out on the inside.

Once Dinah and Skrillex were up on the altar my heart starting beating furiously. The next person to walk through the door would be Lauren. The orchestra started a new song and Lauren began to walk up the aisle with her dad.

I was speechless when I saw her. She looked beautiful. She had the biggest smile on her face whilst walking down the aisle. Seeing her smile at me made all my nerves go away. All that mattered right now was Lauren and I. I walked down to meet her. She kissed her dad on the check. Mike shook my hand and smiled at me. I took Lauren's hand and led her to the altar.

"You look so beautiful" I told her.

When it came to exchanging the vows I was excited to see what Lauren had written about me. She had been working on it for a while and wouldn't let me see. I know I wasn't supposed to see or hear them until the wedding but my curiosity was piqued.

"Justin" Lauren began. "You have been my best friend, confidant and my greatest challenge. But most importantly, you are the love of my life and you make me happier than I could ever imagine. You have made me a better person. So I am truly blessed to be a part of your life, which as of today becomes our life together."

Now it was my turn. It took me ages to find something to say and I just hoped it would be good enough. There were no words to describe how I felt about her.

"Lauren" I began. "With my whole heart, I take you as my wife acknowledging and accepting your faults and strengths, as you have done mine over the years"
