"Avery Josephine! Get up! You're getting married in 7 hours and we got a lot to do!" Jerrion said as she pulled the covers off of Avery.
It was finally March 11th and the couple was finally about to be married.
Avery stayed at home with Jerrion and her bridesmaids to get ready while August went to Kre's to prepare.
"It's 7 in the morning and we don't have a second to waste." Jerrion said.
Avery was unable to contain her happiness. Everything she seen made her smile even more.
"Jer, look! It's a little birdy! It's so cute!" She said looking out of the window.
"Yea. I see it."
After a couple of hours, everything was finally falling into place. It was now 11:00 a.m. and Avery was beyond ready.

I stood in a circle wit my closest friends halfway dressed, praying.
One thing I never gave up on was God, and I need Him now more than ever.
"You ready?" Kre asked.
"Of course, man. I been readyeh." August said.
"Knock knock!" Cha said comin' in tha room wit my momma and nieces.
"You look good, Uncle Aug!"
"Thanks, Noon. Ya'll look nice in ya'll flower girl dresses."
"Duhh." They spoke in unison and flipped they hair.
I just shook my head at them.
My momma grabbed my face and looked me in my eyes.
"You sho' you readyeh fa this? Marriage ain't no joke."
I sighed and looked at ha.
"Yes, ma'am. I'm readyeh to make that beautiful woman my wife. 2 o'clock takin' too long."
She placed kisses on both sides of my face and smiled.
"You're developin' inta a really nice young man. I'll see you during tha ceremony."
She smiled once again.
"Hey, Codin." She spoke as she walked out of the room.
Codin came in wit Austin behind him.
Codin smiled. "I couldn't be more happy to see the man who has made my granddaughter happy since you first met." He spoke, straightening August's tie.
"I just left the house. She looks amazing."
"She seem nervous?" August asked.
"Only a little, but every bride is on their wedding day."
"I just hope she don't get cold feet." August said.
"She won't. She loves you too much."
I smiled until I looked over at Austin.
"Why you ain't dressed? You fa'got you in tha groom party or some'n? "
"Oh, sh--" He stopped and realized he was in a church. "I'll be back." He said then left to get dressed.
"Everything will be fine." Codin assured and gave him a pat on the back.
I hope so.
