Our first dance was to Can't Help Falling In Love, like we agreed on.
"I love you, Kayla." Chres smiles.
"I love you, Chres." I smile back. We're finally married.
Chres leans down and kisses me sweetly. I love him so much.
We finish our dance before I dance with my dad.
"Are you sure? Its not to late to get an annulment."
"I don't want an annulment, daddy. I love Chres."
"He's not good for you." My dad shakes his head.
"He is. He's perfect for me. If you'd spend some time getting to know him, you'd be able to see that." I huff.
"He's so much older than you."
"So? Mom is thirty-six, you're forty-two." I shrug. "Chres is twenty-five, I'm eighteen."
"But you're my daughter. You're mother and I were in our twenties when we got married." He tells me.
"I love Chresanto. Nothing you say is changing that, so just stop. Be happy for me for once."
"Kayla, I raised you and I always told you to wait until after college for relationships period."
"You are never there. You and mom go on vacation and work trips. I get left home alone. Neither of you ever cared. You gave me money to make up for it. Mom is actually trying, you just want to take away the happiness I finally have. Chres loves me, I love him. That's not ending, no matter how hard you try to make it." I snap.
"Sorry, I'm just not ready to let my baby girl go." He sighs. "But since he makes you happy, then I'll try to get along with him."
"That's all I ask. It would mean a lot to me."
We finish up the two hours of reception then we have to leave. I can't wait to see what it looks like in wherever we are going.

"Babe, can we get this?" I ask, holding up a shirt for Bella.
"Yeah." He nods, looking at some more clothes. We went to Australia, Whitehaven Beach to be exact. Its beautiful here.
"Okay. We can't fit all this in the airplane." I laugh.
"We'll get bigger suitcases." He shrugs, smiling at me.
We continue shopping and talking. Our honeymoon is amazing so far. We've been here for three days, we've went shopping, snorkeling, and swimming. It's beautiful here.
"Baby, are you ready?" He asks. We've been here for two hours.
"I guess." I nod.
We pay for our stuff, then head back to the house. He owns a house down here.

"Hey, mommy." I smile.
"Hey, sweetie. How's it going?" She asks.
"It's been fun. We are gonna go snorkling again tomorrow." I tell her.
"That's great." She smiles. "How's it feel to be married?"
"Amazing. I love him."
"We know." I can tell she's smiling. "Well, I just wanted to make sure you were doing okay. I'll let you go, I love you."
"I love you too." I smile.
Chres was on the phone with his mom, so I go to the kitchen. Bella was with his mom and she was napping so we couldn't talk to her.
