California Love

Wedding Day

|Kristyana's POV| 

"So you got your dress already right?" I nodded and continued to answer my mother's questions. 

"You get the invitations back out to everybody?" 

"Yes and Jay and I are paying for the tickets, well the ones that need to be paid for.  We're having our little family thing, that big party for each sides of the family that Sunday after the wedding. Everybody said that they should be able to take Monday off."

"Alright," she grabbed my hand.

"Punkin, you're getting married and you just had your first child. I'm so proud of you. Hopefully your brother will quit playing and marry someone," we laughed.

"I love you girl," I kissed my mom's cheek.

I facetimed my sister to check up on her and the kids.

"Kiara, how are the kids doing? Are they ready?"

Yeah, the boys are ready and so are the girls. How are you doing bride to be?"

"I'm cool, as you can see, they're doing my hair and my bridesmaids, are they ready?"

"You know they are girl. I'll see you soon."

|Jayceon's POV|

"Jay boy. We've been through this before but we haven't gotten this far, nigga how you feel," Marcus joked around, acting like he was holding a mic.

"Nigga, I can't wait to tell people I'm married to a wonderful woman who knows how to take care of my kids."

"Okay okay, save that for your woman and the altar," we laughed. I turned to see her uncle at the door. 

"She's ready." Those very words were like music to my ears. My face lit up and I dapped them all up. The bridesmaids walked up the aisle and looked beautiful. Cali followed the women, tossing the flowers all around and I had never been so happy to see something like this.

My best man, Avante, and the grooms men walked up the aisle.I straightened up my tie and walked to the altar. As I was standing at the altar, many thoughts ran through my head. Like Marcus said, I've been through this before but I've never gotten this far. I'm getting married to a woman who I never thought I'd be with.

I loved her for who she was and she loved me for me. We were comfortable around each other, we were best friends. The music played and my heart raced. She and her uncle walked down the aisle. She looked just as beautiful as she did any other day. She got closer and I smiled uncontrollably at her. She laughed at me and smiled. Her uncle gave her up to me, kissed her, and went to his seat.

"We have come together today to celebrate the joining of Kristyana Harris and Jayceon Taylor's hearts and lives. This is possible because of the love God implanted and created in them," the pastor began.

"Jesus said, 'I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly.' This abundant life, for many people, is an impossible dream, yet God wants us all to have this abundant life and proved His love for us by giving His Son, that we might have this life." 

"Do you Jayceon , take this woman whose hand you now hold, to be your true and wedded wife; and do you solemnly promise before God and these witnesses to love, cherish, honor, and protect her: to forsake all others for her sake; to cleave unto her, and her only, until death shall part you?"

"I do," I replied, smiling down at her.

Do you Kristyana, take this man who now holds your hand, to be your true and wedded husband; and do you solemnly promise before God and these witnesses to love, cherish, honor and protect him, to forsake all others for his sake; to cleave unto him and him only, and him forever until death shall part you?

"I do," she smiled back at me. 

"Repeat after me please." We repeated after the pastor and we were finally to the big moment. 

Avante handed over the rings and we repeated after the pastor once again. I slipped the ring on her finger after she put it on mine after he said a prayer to seal the rings.

"In consideration of these solemn and sacred pledges, I am authorized by the laws of the state of California in your marriage license and by the laws of God in His Holy Word, to pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." We both grinned ear to ear. I pulled her toward me and kissed her like I've never done before. 

"May I present to you, Mr. and Mrs. Taylor!"

|Kristyana's POV| 

"Hey hey hey hey!" I grabbed Jayceon and danced with him in my wedding dress. I danced with all my babies, even Kaius. After we had our dinner and cut the cake, we went to the reception hall and partied like none other. We danced to old school and new school. We had our mother-son dance and our uncle-niece dance since my dad acted a fool. Once we got to the bride and groom dance, I was ecstatic. Jay pulled me toward him and kissed my cheek. 

"You looking mighty scrumptious baby girl," he smirked. 

"Boy not now, this our first dance as a married couple, not our freaky deak time." We swayed from side to side. I've never been so happy in my life. I've had my first child and I'm married to the man of my dreams. Life couldn't be any better.
