You
Today was the day. You were marrying the man of your dreams. You threw up twice already. "Perfect day for morning sickness" you said as you flushed the toilet yet again. " Girl thats nerves." Shelia said as you sat down to finish your hair. "Sorry." you mumbled. "Here ma'am. Try this." Steve appeared in the room. "I'ts easier not to ask what it is, just drink it. " he said before you could ask anything. "Sweet baby jesus that was gross." you said as you finished it but almost instantly you felt better. "You all are coming today right?" you asked looking at the three of them. "Oh ma'am private event just for the four of you." Steve said looking down at his watch. " No I insist. I would really like it if you were all there," there was no questioning you. You made up your mind. The girls finished up as a photographer showed up and snapped a couple pictures. "Well lets see what he picked out for me." you said to the girls. Because you didnt have a bridal party the girls said they would help you. "You dont know what it looks like?" Monica asked. "Nope he did everything without me knowing." he smiled. You unzipped the bag and started to cry. It was beautiful.
Leland
The sun was getting ready to set. Steve called to say she was on the way down. Everyone was in place. I took my place at the front with Tim. "Are you ready?" he asked me. "More then ever." I said with a smile as Duane Lee and Tony took their place next to me. Baby Lisa and Shai were on the other side. Bob and Alex stood in the front. I could see her father standing in place. My parents stood front row next to her mom. This was the right way to go. I knew it. I could see my sons at the top of the stairs, 'God don't blow it sons.' I thought to myself. As she stepped out the boys went to her and she bent down to kiss them. No flowers in her hands for she was suppose to be holding their hands. The canopy went up before she could see anything. She started walking the stairs and was about to enter the canopy.
(no one's pov)
Angel stood at the 'door' of the canopy. She didn't remember Leland saying that there would be one. 'This is different.' she thought. "Hey mama," Dakota said looking up at her, photographer taking pictures the whole time, "Yes my son?" "Me an Cobie just wanted to say we love you." She bent down and kissed them again, "I love you both too." she said. Cobie went to the side table and picked up the bouquet of flowers. "Son these are beautiful but I cant hold them and your hand," she said confused. "Mama we're not walking you today." Dakota said and ran off with Cobie. Angel looked around at Steve very confused. Steve shrugged his shoulders while he tried to hide a smile. "Thats because I'm walking you down," her father said as he appeared from the shadows. "Dad?! How? Why?" was all she could get out while she embraced him. "Your husband is a wonderful man. And I'm very happy to call him son. Now we better hurry up before he thinks you ran away." Angle couldn't believe it as the curtains pulled away they revealed her whole family there. At the front stood Leland all smiles. As she made her way to alter she was in shock, only Leland could pull this off. She stood in front of Leland with her sons on each side of Tim, Tony and Duane Lee next to Leland and Baby Lisa and Shai on the opposite side. "Who gives this women to this man?" Tim asked "Her mother and I do." With that Charlie leaned over and kissed Angel on the cheek before placing her hand in Leland's. "Take care of my girl," he said with a pat on his shoulder. "With my life sir." Leland reached for her and pulled her closer as he wiped the tears away. "Don't cry baby." Leland said as he took both your hands kissing them. "Welcome friends and family. Today we gather to celebrate the love that these two have for each other. I've known the Chapmans for a long time. I've seen Leland fail and succeed. Angel didn't come to this island looking for love, but love is what she found. The day Leland sat down with me to discuss his plans to marry Angel, I was a little concerned. Not because I didn't like Angel, but I was afraid he would rush things and scare her away. The love for her you could see radiating from him." everyone laughed and Leland looked at her. "The look he has today is the way he's looked at her from day one. Angel has bought a light back into Leland and boys life. She has so much Love for not only Leland but for Dakota and Cobie as well. While she'll never replace their mother, she will love them as her own." As Tim talked about the boys, both Angel and Leland looked at them and as if on cue they reached for them both.
