Cadence is an 18-year-old high school graduate that is planning on attending Arizona State University in the fall. Still, for now, she is enjoying her summer with her friend Ramai, who's 19 and attending ASU. She's also a big fan of Tom Hiddleston...
Take tiny little steps to better yourself. Try to be perfect. Try and keep walking up that ladder. With each step, you'll find you can do so many things. There's always a way out of everything. All it takes is time. Wait for it. Go and get after it.
"Why am I so nervous?" Cadence asked as she sat in front of the mirror in her hotel room in Hawaii.
"Because after almost three years, you and Tom are finally getting married," Ramai smiled at her best friend as she continued to curl her hair.
"It just feels so unreal," Cadence breathed as she looked at herself in the mirror once Ramai had finished with her hair.
"I know, but once you see him, you're going to be so happy, and like nothing can stop you," Ramai grinned as Scarlett and Blake walked in.
"God, I can't wait," Cadence breathed as she stood up and walked over to where her dress was hanging.
"Thirty minutes," Paine smiled as he poked his head into the room.
"Then it's time for me to get into my dress," Cadence breathed nervously as she grabbed the gown and went into the bathroom by herself.

A few minutes later, she emerged in a beautiful off-white mermaid style lace Lazaro gown that had a ruffled skirt and a chapel length train. She seemed to glow as she stepped in front of the full-length mirror and saw her reflection. She could see in the mirror that Scarlett, Blake, and Ramai had tears in their eyes. It was then that it truly hit her that she was getting married to the love of her life.
"I'm getting married," Cadence breathed with tears in her eyes as she covered her mouth.
"Yes, you are," Ramai smiled as she stepped toward her best friend, placing a hand on her shoulder.
"Can you call Daddy? I want to see him," Cadence sniffed with a smile on her face.
"I'll get him," Scarlett exclaimed, running to get her friend's dad who had just been with them.
Ramai carefully clasped the blue sapphire pendant around Cadence's neck for her something borrowed and blue. Her dress was something new, and her something old was the silver purity ring her parents gave her that she now wore on her right ring finger. As her dad came into the room, she felt her nerves subside, and her smile grew even more. The tears that gathered in his eyes when he saw his baby girl was enough to make a single tear slide down Cadence's cheek.
