Shelley sat there with her mouth wide open, she forgot how to breath. Michael- *chuckles* "Is that a yes?" She smiles widely and jumps at him, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck. Shelley- "YES!! Definitely yes!" Michael- *choking* "Shell, baby I can't breath." She loosens her grip. "Oh, sorry. Yes of course I'll marry you." Michael- "That's great. I promise I'll make my queen very happy." Shelley- "You already have. Just you being next to me is enough to make me happy." Michael- "You can be so corny sometimes." Shell tilts her head and playfully slaps him on the arm. Michael- "But at least it's the truth, one of things I love about you. I love all of you." Shelley- "Now look who's being corny." Michael- "Oh stop talking and give me those juicy delicious lips."
1 Month Later: Shelley- "Oh God I can't believe it today's finally here. Christine, how's my teeth? Is there a spot on my dress? Do I have any blemishes on face? Is my hair ok?" Christine- "Whoa, whoa, whoa girl chill ok. Everything is fine and no your period isn't for another 2 weeks I checked the calendar." Shelley- "Oh good." Christine- "Shell relax, it's your wedding you should be excited not nervous." Shelley- "I know, I know. It's just that, it's been a dream of mine to get married one day and now it's finally coming true." Christine- "Listen to me. Do you love Michael?" Shelley- "More than life itself." Christine- "And I have no doubt he loves you just as much, you have nothing to worry about. You two are a match made from heaven." Shelley- "Thank you, you're right. I also wish my father was here to see this." Christine- "I'm sure he's watching every moment of this right now. He'd be very proud of you just as much as I am." Shell feels a tear running down her cheek and hugs Christine. Christine- "Hey now I worked hard on that make up don't go smudging it." Shelley- *laughs* "Oops sorry." She quickly wipes her tear and takes a deep breath. "Ok I'm ready." Christine- "Alright I'll see you out there. You look great sis."
The wedding song starts playing and Michael turns and sees Shelley walking down the aisle. He thinks "Wow, she looks amazing. I don't need to die to go to heaven because it's standing before me." As he was standing at the altar Shell felt like everything turned slow motion. Everything that happened in the past couple of months all came down to this, she was about to marry a former gangster, her savior, her knight in shining armor. She finally reaches the altar and stands in front of Michael, looking so handsome his tux with his curls pulled back in a ponytail but a few in particular hanging in the front. Just the way she likes it and he knew it. He whispered "You look beautiful." She whispered back "Thank you. So do you." They smile at each other they want kiss each other so bad right now. After the priest announces the speech then comes to the vows. "Michael please present your vows." Michael- "Ok, Shelley when I first met you I thought there was no way a woman so beautiful would ever fall in love with a guy like me. Then when we met each other again and you saved my life, literally." They both chuckle. "And from that moment on my doubts and fears began to fade even after all the things I did, you never gave up on me." He starts to get choked up. "And now all I know is no matter what happens in the future we'll be there for each other and I'd give my life for you anytime any day. Because I love you with all my heart and soul." Shell is trying so hard to prevent her tears from falling. Priest- "Thank you Michael. Shelley please present your vows." Shelley- "Michael you saved my life more than you could possibly know. When my father passed away I started feeling like life was nothing more than a cruel game but after we bumped each other that night I began to realize it was no game it was destiny. My father would you used to tell me "One day your gonna find the man of your dreams. All you have to do is picture him and dream." And he was right cause after that night I dreamt about you every night. You're the mural, the Mona Lisa I've been waiting for." Michael chuckles trying to fight back his tears. "And now we've become the masterpiece that I will cherish forever." They couldn't fight their tears any longer neither could Christine. Priest- "I now pronounce you man and wife! You may kiss..." Michael couldn't fight back the urge to kiss her any longer. They especially couldn't wait for their honeymoon.
