8 Things-Harry Styles

Chapter Twelve

The next morning, I got up and dressed in a flannel shirt and yoga pants to go get my hair and makeup done for the wedding.  My mom and I got into the car and we drove to the salon, where the rest of the women were waiting for us.  I hugged each of them and then two stylists took us to a private room to get ready.  After about two hours, all of our hair and makeup was done.  We all got back in our cars and drove to the church where we would finish getting ready.  I helped make sure that all of my bridesmaids and my mothers were ready.  Miriam panicked, "Evelyn!  You still need to finish getting ready!  The ceremony is in 45 minutes!"

I laughed, "Miriam, it won't take me that long to get into my dress and put my veil on."

She blushed and my bridesmaids helped me strip down.  Perrie handed me a Victoria Secret bag.  She winked at me and had me go put it on.  I came out of the makeshift changing room with a robe on.  Sophia handed me a garter and I looked at it; it was Hogwart's themed.  I smiled and hugged both her and Perrie.  I put that on as well and finally it was time for me to put on my dress.  I stepped out from the changing room after Miriam and I saw my mom's eyes fill with tears.  I ran over to hug her, trying to keep my own tears in.  Gemma walked over to us with the veil in her arms.  I asked, "Momma, will you help me?"

She nodded and I crouched down so she could put the veil on me.  I stood up straight when she told me I could and I hugged her again.  Soon enough, there was a knock on the door and I yelled, "Come in!"

My dad walked in and tears instantly filled his eyes when he looked at me.  I ran up to him and hugged him.  He pulled out of my embrace and told my mom, "The ceremony is about to begin dear."

She nodded, pressed her lips to his cheek, and walked to the entrance of the church doors.  I saw Anne right in front of her with Robin.  I saw Des, walk up to my mom and I heard music start to play.  Miriam handed me my bouquet and she got in line right after Gemma.  I saw Lux and my family friends' son, Dylan, walk down the aisle as flower girl and ring bearer.  I watched my bridesmaids leave to walk down the aisle.  I heard the music change and I looked up at my dad.  He squeezed my hand and I smiled.  He offered me his arm and I took it.  I took a deep breath and we started walking.  I made it into the church and I looked up at the altar.  My eyes met Harry's and mine started to water.  I noticed that his eyes were also teary.  I smiled and my dad and I made it to the front of the altar.  He moved my veil back and kissed my cheek.  He whispered, "I love you darling."

"I love you too dad," I whispered.

He gave my right hand to Harry and he went to sit by my mom.  I handed Miriam my bouquet and took Harry's other hand.  We looked up at Pastor Hart.  He began, "We are gathered here today in the sight of God, and the presence of friends and loved ones, to celebrate one of life's greatest moments. We are here to give recognition to the worth and beauty of love, and to add our best wishes and blessings to the words that will unite Harry Edward Styles and Evelyn Meredith Pierce in holy matrimony.  Harry and Evelyn, marriage is the most important of all earthly relationships. It should be entered into reverently, thoughtfully and with full understanding of its sacred nature. Your marriage must stand by the strength of your love and the power of faith in each other and in God. Just as two threads woven in opposite directions form a beautiful tapestry, so to your two lives when merged together will make a beautiful marriage.  Now the Bible verse from 1st Corinthians chosen by the couple.

"'Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud. Love is never haughty or selfish or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable or touchy. Love does not hold grudges and will hardly notice when others do it wrong. Love is never glad about injustice, but rejoices whenever truth wins out. If you love someone, you will be loyal to them no matter what the costs. You will always believe in them, always expect the best in them, and will always stand your ground in defending them.
