**WEDDING DAY**

Leann's POV:

As everyone crowded around me in my room, I couldn't help it but to smile. Caitlin was curling my hair, Elka was doing my makeup, and everyone else was commenting on how beautiful I looked. Today was the day I have dreamed of my whole life. The day I would have my happily ever after, it was finally here. I held in the many tears that were building up in my eyes. After I was finished getting my makeover, everyone backed away from me smiling with tears in their eyes. 

"Leann, you look beautiful!" my mom cried. 

"Thanks mom." I replied hugging her. 

After everyone calmed down, my dad came into the room. Everyone thought that it was Bryan, so they all huddled around me. 

"Woah woah woah girls, it's Mr. Carter, nothing to worry about." he laughed.

Everyone backed away from me and I walked up to my dad. He put his hands on my shoulders and he began to cry a little. 

"No matter what, you'll always be my little girl, right?"

"Yes, I always will be."

Bryan's POV:

As I finished putting on my tie, I looked in the mirror. I was wearing a black and white tuxedo, a black tie, and a red rose clipped onto my vest pocket. Today was the day I had been preparing for. The day Leann would be labeled as mine, forever. My mom looked over towards me with tears in her eyes.

"I wish your father could see you right now." she cried.

"What do you mean? Dad still lives with you."

She pulled me into a hug crying harder than before. "He left one night.. to go to a party, and he never came back, leaving me pregnant with the twins. He forgot all about us sweetheart." 

I began to cry seeing my mother cry like this. My mom had to be a pretty strong person to go through pregnancy and raising twins all on her own. I wish I would have known. I would have came to help her. But I didn't know where she was, or where I was. 

Nancy walked into my room making my mom pull away wiping her tears. My mom was in a soft green dress with silver heels. Her hair was in tight curls that went down to her stomach. She looked too young to have a 20 year old son and 5 year old twins. Nancy was in a baby pink, strapless dress. Her black hair was down to her shoulders pin straight. They both looked beautiful. 

"Look at you, I can't believe how handsome you look!" she interupted my mom and I.

"Thanks Nancy." I replied. 

After we chatted for a little while, we went into the living room to find all of my relatives that I haven't seen since I was 12. I started to cry as everyone watched me walk down the stairs. My grandparents were there, my aunts and uncles, and cousins, everyone, but my dad. I ran towards all of them as they all pulled me into a hug. The only thing that would have made today better would be for my dad to come back. Everyone cried as they all hugged me. My heart was melting from their tears. The cousins that I saw 8 years ago were here looking all grown up. We used to play secret agents with eachother spying on the adults. We hid behind the couches with binoculars seeing what they were doing. But today, they were going to watch me wait at the alter for my bride to come. This was exactly what I needed today. After about an hour had passed, everyone was asking about Leann. All I could say was that she is the most beautiful girl you could ever meet and that she is super friendly.

They continued to ask more about her, until we heard a knock on the door. I opened it to see David and his family. My heart sank from disappointment thinking that it would be my dad. After everyone greeted David and his family, my mood dropped down from 100 to 0. I was happy that David showed up, but I was dissapointed that it wasn't my dad. 

After a while had passed taking pictures, the limo that Nancy had rented for today pulled up infront of the house. Everyone piled in and we were off to the church. 

Leann's POV:

After we chatted for a while, our limo pulled up to the house. Luckily, we all took pictures before it showed up. We all entered the limo and we drove to the church. My heart was racing. This is it, the day you have been waiting for. 

***SKIPPING CAR RIDE***

When we pulled up infront of the church, no one was outside. I guess that meant that Bryan was already inside with his family. We all exited the limo and began to take pictures. Elka, Caitlin, and their families began to exit their cars. They were wearing light blue, strapless dresses. They had their hair pulled back into a bun and they wore silver heels. You could hear the loud clapping of their heels as they ran towards me. They hugged me tightly for a second until my mother pulled them away because they were "ruinning the dress". After we had taken over 1,000 pictures, we had entered the church. I was put into another room with my dad until we were told to come out. Elka, Caitlin, the rest of the bridemaids, and Marie and Crystal were with us aswell. I played with the girls to pass by the time. I couldn't tell them apart, they looked exactly alike. The only way I could point out who was who by the sound of their voice. 

I had remember a while ago the doll that Marie had given to me a year ago while me and Bryan were still dating. I had it in a bag that I had brought with me to the church. As we pretended to be princesses, Marie had pulled me aside.

"Lele, do you still have the doll?"

I pulled it out of my purse and held it in my hands.

"Yes I do."

"What are you going to do with it?"

I began to think. Would I give it back to her or would I keep it. Her eyes sparkled in the light making me speed up my decision. Finally, I made my decision.

"I'm going to keep it, just like you said I should. To pass it down, to my daughter."

She hugged me tightly giving me different names that I could name her, even though I wasn't even pregnant.

"Rose is a pretty name." she giggled pointing to a rose that she saw.

"Oh oh, maybe Lily!" Crystal butted in.

I laughed as they kept shouting out names. My dad looked at me pulling me aside.

"Your not pregnant are you?"

"What the hell dad." I laughed, "Of course not, not yet. Those two are getting creative."

He held onto his chest with one hand. "Thank heavens, that would have been a lot to happen in one day."

I laughed as I kissed him on the cheek. After a while had passed by, my dad had put his hand on my shoulder.

"It's time."
