Everything Changes

Chapter 10

Katie Atwood

I can do this.. I can do this.. It's only for the rest of my life. So I guess it isn't that bad, right? I can't help but have a lot of nervous feelings, and butterflies in my stomach.. In about two hours from now, I'll be walking down that isle to marry the love of my life.

Today should be a happy day! The best day of my life! But it doesn't feel like that.

Ever since the last fight, everything has fallen into place. He loves me again, and he promised he'd never hit or cheat on me again. So I guess I'm covered..

I mean, I've loved Thomas since I was 16. But I wonder if he still loves me the same. Yes he loves me, but he might not be as happy as I am.

As I keep thinking about everything, my mom walks in.

"Katie!! You're so beautiful!" She cried. "This day came faster than I thought it would.".

"Yeah, I'm with you on that mom. Haha" I started to cry.

"Oh honey! Why are you crying?!" She said worriedly.

"I'm just nervous.. And these are tears of joy!" I told her.

She pulled me into a tight hug and said "I love you Katie. And if anything happens, you can always come home."

"Thank you. I love you too mom." I chirped.

She kissed my forehead and walked out to meet with Thomas.

I walked over to the window that looked over the ceremony.

The sun was out and brightly shining, and the courtyard looked beautiful.

Today was going to be perfect. No one could ruin this day.

I started to think about Adam. I wasn't mad at him, but I still didn't think he'd come after the way I yelled at him. I walked over to my bag and took out my phone. I started to dial his number.

"Hello?" His voice rang.

"Adam! I didn't think you'd pick up.. Are you still coming, or are you mad at me.." I cried.

"Turn around please." He pleaded.

So doing what he asked, I turned around to see that he was standing right in the doorway. I shrieked so loud and so high! I ran to him and he embraced me.

"You came!" I shrieked.

"And why wouldn't I?" He smirked.

I looked up at him and returned his smile. I was so glad that he came. I was worried he wouldn't come.

He kissed my forehead and then headed out to find his seat.

3o minutes.

I had a half - an- hour till the wedding started.

I sat by myself for a good fifteen minutes till dad and Andrea came in.

"Are you ready katlynn?" He asked.

"Of course I am dad." I smiled.

We were led to the big glass doors that led to the courtyard of the mansion. Everything looked so perfect. The doors opened and Andrea and Logan walked out to the sound of 'canon and D' on violin and piano. When they reached the alter, everyone stood up. The big glass doors opened.

We started to walk slow to the music. I was so nervous, But I managed to keep a smile on my face.

"I love you katlynn. And ill always be here if anything happens. You're still going to be my daughter, and I'll do anything for you. Even if that means you have to cry Infront of me. Even if it means if you have to fly home in the middle of the night, I'll be there to pick you up." He said, while I looked at him and his eyes were starting to tear up.

"I love you too daddy. Thank you." I smiled.

We made our way up to the alter, and he gave me away. I made about half way through my wedding vows and started to cry. I kept my smile on my face though. Ask finished I looked at all 245 wedding guests and most of them were smiling and crying. I gave my paper back to the priest and Thomas started on his.

Thomas Beckmann

God, she's beautiful. I thought to myself as Katie walked down the isle with her dad. I'm so glad this day came faster.

"She's beautiful Tom, you're lucky you've had her since high school." Logan whispered to me.

As I watched her taking steps toward me, she smiled.

The most beautiful smile I have ever seen.

Her dad gave her away to me, and the ceremony began.

When it got to our vows, she was halfway through her vows, and she started to cry.

I looked down at her and smiled with a little bit of tears in my eyes. As she finished, the priest gave me my paper that I wrote my vows on and I started to read them.

"Too my future wife, Katlynn. I have loved you since I was 16 years old, and in that time, I do not know how many times I've told you that I love you. You are the most amazing girl I have ever met, and I hate when I see you hurt. Especially if I'm the reason. We've been through all the heartache and crys together throughout this relationship. And today, on our wedding day, all that was in the past, is hopefully going to be forgotten. Because I don't want the past coming back and hurting you again. I could never let you go, no matter how hard it is, I will fight for you. I will fight for us. I was afraid that you were going to call everything off because you weren't ready, but you said yes. That day that I got down on one knee and asked you, you had that beautiful smile on your face, and I'm going to try my best to keep that smile on your face. Forever. You fascinate me, and I hope I fascinate you too. Our relationship is built on trust and love, and it grew stronger. I hope that when we start our family, we have a girl at one time. Because then she'll look exactly like you, and I'd get to see you in her. She'll have the same beautiful blue eyes, and the same beautiful smile. Our life will go on forever as long as we have each other. I will never stop loving you. And I promise you, that I'll try my best to be the greatest husband for you. I love you, forever and always." I ended the vows.

I had tears in my eyes, and I could see that she did too.

"By the power invested in me and the city of Paris, and America, I may now pronounce you as husband and wife. Thomas, you may kiss your beautiful bride." Father James smiled.

I reached for her, and dipped her into a kiss, that hopefully she'd never forget. When we stood side by side, all the guests stood up and cheered.

The song 'waiting for superman' by daughtry was put on as we danced our way down the isle.

I never let go of her hand. When we reached the doors, they were opened and we made our way to the ballroom of the mansion. I looked down at her and smiled. She smiled back, and placed her head on my shoulder.

We finally got married. And I will never hurt her. I will be the greatest husband for her, and the best father for our kids, when we decide to start on our family.
