Unexpected || c.r.

chapter thirty

*Epilogue* *5 and a half years later*

"Allie are you sure it looks ok? where's Ashley" I ask pacing around.

"Ashley's finishing her make up. and yes you look beautiful" she smiles and fixes my hair a bit. I smooth out my dress and look at Allie. she looks gorgeous in the mint green bridesmaid dress we picked out. today's the day. I've got Ashely and Allie to spend it with, and better yet the love of my life.

Ashley walks in and gasps "oh my gosh Izzy"

"what? is it the dress? hair?" I ask panicked and look at myself in the mirror.

"Ashley look what you did!" Allie yells.

"sorry but you just look amazing" Ashely smiles.

I smile "thanks"

she squeals and grabs my hands "I can't believe it's your wedding day"

"me either" I chuckle.

"and with Chandler. the guy you said you'd never date" Allie grins and nudges me.

"really? that was back in high school. you're still gonna hold that against me?"

"yup" she nods. I roll my eyes and look at myself in the mirror again.

my mom comes in "honey time to get out there" she smiles.

I turn around and smile "I'm so excited" I squeal and walk to the door. we get in the line by the exit of the building to the back garden where the wedding ceremony is set up. Chandler, Grayson, Sam and Gray are already up at the alter. the music starts and Ashely and Ashton start to walk down the aisle. following them is Allie and Luke. then Chandlers parents walk out and my mom and Connor following. finally it's my dad and I. I take a deep breath and walk down the aisle with my dad. the guests all stand up and I finally lock eyes with Chandler. God he looks so handsome. I can't believe I get to spend the rest of my life with him. he's staring right back at me with the sweetest smile ever. I look down and smile then look back at him. his eyes are glossed over with tears. awww he's such a cutie. we reach the alter and my dad kisses me on the cheek. I go up the steps and stand where I'm supposed to, right in front of the man of my dreams. I hand Allie my bouquet and Chandler grabs both of my hands.

"you look beautiful" Chandler whispers.

"you look handsome" I whisper back. he smiles and I do too. the ceremony starts and Chandler and I keep staring at each other.

"and now, the vows. so Isabella?" the priest says and looks at me. (a/n: I apologize for the extreme cheesiness that is about to come)

I nod and get my paper from Ashley just in case I break down. I unfold the paper and start to read it. "words can't even describe our relationship. considering that I couldn't even stand you when we first met just shows that we need to expect the unexpected. so now here we are, standing hand in hand at our wedding. you're dressed up so handsome in your suit and you're hair styled up nice. as cheesy as it is every time I look into your eyes I fall in love again.." this is where the water works start to come. I bite my lip and continue "..Chandler Riggs you don't know how blessed I am to have you in my life. you are there for me when I'm upset or scared and you always know how to make me happy. people always tell me that when you get married you are marrying your best friend, so I'm happy I can spend the rest of my life with my best friend and the love of my life. I love you Chandler" I finish and give him a small smile. he smiles at me and gives me a wink. yup. still cheeky.

"and now Chandler" the priest says to him. Chandler glances at Grayson and Grayson nods. he looks back at me and takes a deep breath. "summer before junior year was the first time I saw you.." he begins. "..you had your hair up in a messy bun and a pair of black sunglasses on. you were wearing black Jean shorts with a blue and green bikini top. I had seen you around school before but we never really talked. so junior year started and we kind of butt heads. then had that lovely dinner at my house. that's when we actually talked and I started to have feelings for you, but I didn't want to show it. our first date was a date in my mind but I made it sound like it was just friends. then you cuddled up to me in the trunk and my heart skipped a beat. I was still confused if you liked me back though so I knew I couldn't make a move. when I was in that hospital everything changed. you came to visit me and you took care of me, that was when I knew you liked me." he gives me a small smirk then continues "..now I could continue to tell our entire love story but I know we have a party to get to so I'm gonna go with this. Isabella you are the most genuine and beautiful girl
I have ever seen. I love your kisses and your compliments, you can always make me smile and I'm excited to spend my life with you. I love you more than words can explain" he finishes with a smile. I give him a big smile and wipe a tear away.
