" rise and shine, beautiful bride. "

my sleep was interrupted by sun rays flooding the room, making me groan in distaste, covering my head with a pillow only to have it ripped away from me.

" jae, come on, get up. you're getting married today. "

excitement began to bubble up in my chest at the reminder but i rolled over, burying my head into the sheets.

" can't i get married tomorrow? i'm too tired. "

luhan chuckled at me, grabbing my arm and pulling me up as i groggily sat up.

" what happened to the jaehyun that hopped out of bed before the sun even rose up? "

" that was before i got pregnant. now i just feel huge and tired all the time. "

" trust me, i know the feeling. now get up and get ready. "

luhan went downstairs, probably to make breakfast with the food that was already supplied to us in the beach house.

i sighed, looking out of the window to see the sun coming up on the horizon of the ocean, palm trees blowing in the soft howl of the wind.

i was marrying my best friend today.

the next three hours were spent showering, baekhyun and luhan applying makeup to my face, and styling my hair.

i was just wearing a flowy white shirt, it's soft material covering my obnoxiously large baby bump. i was grateful i could still slide into my light wash skinny jeans. it wasn't really a formal kind of wedding, we were on the beach and we were all too crazy to wear something nice, it would probably get ruined.

" you're done. "

i smiled as i looked at lu and baek. both of them decided to wear dresses because they felt more comfortable that way. they were wearing matching baby blue mid-thigh length dresses. the only person that wasn't wearing the dress was jeonghan. it just worked better for baek so it went over his bump.

we had half an hour left until we had to go down to the beach.

i looked out of the window again, seeing chairs being aligned, baby blue bows tied on each one. there was a white wooden arch covered in light pink and blue flowers where taeyong and i would stand.

i felt the butterflies in my stomach flutter rapidly at the sight of it all.

" let's go downstairs and eat. we don't want your stomach growling during your vows. "

i chuckled and followed them downstairs, all the guys sitting outside on the back porch, stuffing eggs and pancakes into their mouth.

after the rest of us ate, my hands became clammy, nervousness filling me.

" are you ready to go down? "

i eagerly nodded, everyone going out of the door, lu, baek, yuta, jeonghan, and mingyu all walking alongside me.

i watched excitedly as all of them saw their lovers coming from the opposite side of the beach, though i still had to wait to see mine.
