Theo's POV

This is it. Today's the day. Today is the day I marry the love of my life.

Ansel woke us all up bright and early to get ready. At 7:00 he started walking around banging pots and pans together. He was singing some song he made up about waking up in the morning.

By the time we were all awake it was about 8:00. I was the first to wake up, seeing as I am the one getting married. Ansel made pancakes and sausage for breakfast, which were delicious.

Even tough Ansel put a lot of effort onto cooking I couldn't eat. A million thoughts are racing through my head. What if Shai walks away? What if she doesn't really want to marry me? What if she really hates me and is only marrying me for money?

No. I think. None of that is true, and you know it. Shailene loves you.

After breakfast Ansel helped me call all of the important people so I could confirm, they could come. We talked to the catering business, the DJ, the priest, the cake decorator, etc. it helped take my mind off things for a while.

After we finished, all of the boys gave me a gift. I insisted they didn't need to but they did anyway. Ansel gave me a really expensive champagne.

"It's for the honey moon," he said.

Edward gave me 3 new ties. I didn't bother to tell him that I never wore suits. I just thanked him and moved on to Tanner.

Tanner gave we wine glasses that said, Theo and Shailene, January 20th. It was so thoughtful.

"I thought it would be useful," he winked.

Lastly, William handed me a box. Inside was a $100 gift card to a shop. I had never heard of the place.

"Where's this?" I asked.

"Trust me you'll love the place. When you take Shai on the honeymoon to--"

"SHHHHHH!" I say. "You never know if they're listening or not!"

"Well when you guys go to the place, the shop is there." He sighed.

I forgot William had gone there. He likes to travel with his wife.

After the giving of the gifts we decided to get dressed. I am wearing a black tux with a purple tie. The other boys are wearing gray tuxedos with purple ties.

My heart is pounding faster then ever as I slick my hair back one last time.

"Theo!" Tanner calls from the other side of the bathroom door. "The limo's waiting."

"I'll be right out," I say.

I take a deep breath. This is it. My last moments being a single man. Why am I so nervous? I love Shailene and she loves me. Everything will go smoothly.

With one final look at myself, I walk out of our apartment.

Shai's POV

"Oh my god," I breathe. "Oh my god. Oh my god."

I have been pacing back in forth in our living room for about ten minutes.

"Shai," Lauren says. "Calm down. Everything will be fine."

"What if Theo doesn't love me anymore?" I ask. "What if he doesn't come? What if he decides I'm not good enough? What if-"
