Prologue

"Ready?" Elton asked. I had a moment to myself and shed a few silent tears thinking about how much I wished my parents and Max could be here today. I missed them. Quickly I wiped them away and checked my reflection in the mirror before getting up.

"Yeah." I nodded at my godfather.

"Emma love, you look stunning. I'm so proud of you and everything you've become. I know you miss them and it should be your dad walking you down the isle instead of me, but this will be the best day of your life - try to enjoy it as much as you can. Justin is an amazing guy and he will make you very happy, I'm sure." I nodded at his words. "I love you Emma!" We hugged and more tears sprung to my eyes.

"I love you too, Elton! You are the best godfather the world has ever seen. I feel honored to be given away by you." A smile spread on my face.

"They have the best seats in the room watching you closely at all times. They're with you always and I'm sure they are immensely happy and proud of you, love."

I nodded blinking away some tears. "Thanks for saying that. You're the best, Elton!" Oh god, if that's how the day starts how emotional is this gonna end?

"Let's do this." Excitement bubbled inside of me. I couldn't wait to become Justin's wife.

"Alright, let's go." Elton smiled and held his arm out for me to take. I grabbed my bouquet and indicated to the girls that I was ready.

As soon as I entered the beach isle my eyes met Justin's and both of us were beaming like the crazy lovebirds we were. There were tears in my eyes and I swore my fiancé's eyes watered as well. When I reached him and Elton had handed me over he kissed my cheek and whispered into my ear. "You look absolutely beautiful, dear! I have no words." If possible my smile got even wider as we exchanged a quick look. He looked mighty fine himself in that suit of his.

The ceremony went by in a blur. My happy lovestruck self could barely listen preoccupied as I was with smiling. Suddenly it was time for the vows and after Justin had said all those amazing things to me which caused me to cry a little it was my turn. "Dear Justin, here we are. This is the day we've been waiting for and it's finally time. I couldn't be more excited to become your wife. Words can't express how much I love you. I know this is such a basic line, but it's true. Everyday that we spend together our bond gets stronger and I look forward to what's to come for us and sharing my life with you. Writing this I thought about how far we've come remembering how we started getting to know each other almost five years ago." I smirked to myself going on. "Remember how we first met in your dad's kitchen with me holding a knife?" People chuckled and Justin smirked at me. "Remember the times my drunk self forgot codes forcing you to take care of me? Remember how surprised you were to run into me at the Grammys? I remember how annoyed I was every time you showed up in my life again back in the day." People laughed again and Justin joined them. "Remember how you saved me at the two year anniversary? Remember how we went to Ibiza together for the first time? Remember our first date at Santa Monica pier? Remember how we went back there last year? I do and until today it was the best day of my life. There are all these moments and I could go on forever. They showed me how much I want you in my life forever. Whatever happens I vow to stick with you. No matter what I will always be there in good times and in bad. I promise to love you and cherish our bond for as long as I shall live. If things ever get rough I am ready to fight for us because what we have is so special and only because of you I am who I am today - for that I will always be grateful. So, whatever the question, my answer is 'I do, yes and I will'." I beamed at Justin while the audience laughed. There were tears in his eyes while he squeezed my hand.

"...and by the power vested in me I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." My face almost exploded with a grin. Justin looked just the same when our eyes met and we leaned in. Completely blocking out everyone around us we shared the most passionate kiss yet. As his lips brushed against mine the butterflies in my stomach went wild and this warm fuzzy feeling spread all over me. This was where I belonged. Justin's arms were my safe haven.
