Chapter 32

Grace's P.O.V

I look the aisle to see Chester with his hand over his mouth crying. My dad makes sure I don't trip as I walk down the aisle. Hatty stays quiet throughout the whole way down the aisle. As I get closer and closer, I get more nervous. Once I reached Chester, I passed Hannah my bouquet and then took Chester's hand as he reached out.  Hatty sat on Mamrie's lap.

"You look beautiful," Chester says smiling, looking into my eyes.

"You look amazing," I say returning the compliment.

"Please be seated." The vicar announces.

Everyone takes their seats and sits in silence, waiting for us to say the words I do.

"You are gathered here today to witness the union of Grace Helbig and Chester See. Please repeat after me.

I Chester See."

"I Chester See." He repeats.

"Take you, Grace Helbig."

"Take you, Grace Helbig." He repeats again.

"To have and to hold." The vicar says.

"To have and to hold." He follows.

"For better, for worse," I say.

"For richer, For poorer," Chester says, with tears welling up.

"In sickness and in health," I reply.

"To love...

"To cherish." I finish.

"As long as we both shall live." We say in unison.

"I love you," I say as tears fall down my face

" I love you too," Chester says as we both lean in and have our first kiss as a married couple.

"I may now pronounce you man and wife. You may... Well, you're kissing anyway." The vicar chuckles as soon as he sees us.

We pull away and stare into each other eyes for a few minutes and then link arms and make our way back down towards the aisle.

TIME HOP TO THE RECEPTION

"Now Grace is going to hate me for this but she was a troublesome kid and everyone needs to hear this story. One day her mother and I took her to this shop and she really wanted this toy. I told her that she can't have this certain toy but she ignored me. Then when her mother said she couldn't have this certain toy, Grace goes and rips a chunk of her mother's hair out. So we dropped everything and took her to the police station. We sat her in the car and said 'This is where bad girl 's go,' and at the time a girl was walking into the police station. I think we scarred her for life. On the other hand, she wasn't a troublesome kid anymore so it worked. Now all I hope is that she doesn't have to do the same with Hatty, I'm sure she won't because Hatty is going to be a good kid. Now to talk about Chester, where do I start. I remember the first time Grace brought him home. Now Grace told me that she was 'tutoring him' well according to Grace tutoring meant making out in her bedroom. I can still see the face on them when I walked in on them making out. The first thing I did was drag Chester by the ear and chuck him out of the house. I'm sorry about that. But now I can see how happy they are together so I won't ruin your ear again Chester welcome to the family. To Grace and Chester," Dad says, raising his glass.

"Grace and Chester." Everyone repeats.

"You know when I first saw Grace, she was running on the track team. Then when I bumped into her at school and make her drop all her books, like in the movies, I knew she was the one. I tried my hardest not to love her but it was too hard. She had me wrapped around her little finger. The more I look at her the more I fall in love. This woman gave me the best thing a man could ever ask for. One drunken night lead to a beautiful daughter anyone could ask for. Now an amazing wife to top it all off. Let's all raise our glass' to my beautiful wife Grace Anne See." Everyone raises their glass' making me blush a little. We all finish our food then we go to cut the cake. 

"If we could all pay attention to Grace and Chester, as they will now cut the cake then they will take their first dance as husband and wife. I grab the knife then Chester stands behind me and places his hands on my hands. We lift the knife together then place it into the cake. We pause so people can get photos then we are given the all clear to carry on. We slice the cake then put the knife on the table. 

"If we could all pay attention to the married couple on the dance floor. The song Flightless bird comes on and Chester grabs my hand and we start to waltz. Half way through the dance,  I stop him.

"Chester I need to tell you something."

"What you are no devorcing me already are you?"

"No. More like adding to the happiness and family." I smile, waiting for an answer.

"What do yo...NO, really?"

"You are going to be a dad again."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Oh My God, I can't believe it. I'M GONNA BE A DAD!" Chester screams as he picks me up and spins me around. He places me on the floor, both of us laughing. But that gets overruled by me racing off to the bathroom to throw up, maybe spinning a pregnant woman wasn't such a good idea. I wash my mouth out and go back to Chester. He goes in to kiss me but I stop him.

"Ches...my breath."

"I don't care, now let me kiss you." He says, placing his lips onto mine. My mother comes over with Hatty and pass' her to Chester. The photographer gets a photo of me and Chester kissing while I hold Hatty on my hip and Chester places his hands around my stomach.

 We didn't end up going on a honeymoon because we Hartley is too young for her to be left alone for a long time.

We left the reception last and were going to clean it up tomorrow, we got home within half an hour and we literally pass out in bed.
