==== And I know in my heart I will love him forever ====

The dinner rehearsal is tonight. Tomorrow I will become Mrs. Alex D'Amore. To be honest, I can hardly believe it. Happiness has a way of making time fly by. It seems like only yesterday, he asked me, and now, here I am, the night before my wedding.
We will be married on the same estate Lex purposed to me on. The wedding will be held outside and then afterwards the party will move on into the massive white tent. I still have not met the owners of the estate but apparently, Lex knows them well. At least, I think it's a 'them' all Lex ever says is that it's a friend of the family.
I will be meeting 'them' tonight. 
Along with half a dozen other people I've never met before. Lex had some last minute invitations to send out. Several of Lex's Italian family members are flying in tonight, to meet me and for the wedding. John D'Amore, apparently has brothers, I never knew about, which means Lex has several cousins. They will all be here this evening.
My nerves are getting to me. Excitement and anticipation for my wedding. Nervousness for meeting so many people. And an overwhelming amount of joy. Jess and Mawmaw finish dressing, while I take up the bathroom to look myself over in the mirror one last time. My dress is white and lacy, to match the dress I will be wearing tomorrow. My hair falls in soft curls and my makeup is kept light. I slip on my nude heels and I'm ready to go.

Mawmaw and Jess smile as I enter the room

Mawmaw and Jess smile as I enter the room. Of course, I have no doubt that they will cry tomorrow but I hadn't expected them to tear up now.

"Stop it, you two. You'll ruin your makeup," I say.

"You look beautiful, sweetheart," Mawmaw says.

Jess nods. "If Lex wasn't sexual frustrated before, he will be when he sees you in that!" she giggles.

And deep down I hope he is. For the last three weeks, I've done everything possible to keep distance between us. It's silly, yes, lord knows we've had sex already, but I wanted some serious anticipation for our wedding night. It's been very hard to keep myself from jumping on him but somehow I have restrained myself.
Lex on the other hand, got down right crabby.
He was already ill about so much going on, that it was keeping me from him, and then add in the fact that I would move away from him every time he tried to touch me in that way.
But after tomorrow, his waiting will be over and so will mine. Cause I swear I have never wanted him as much as I do now.
We leave the hotel room, Mawmaws room, where I will spend my last night as a single lady.
Lex finds it stupid for me not to stay in our room with him but I told him it was bad luck for him to see me before the wedding. This only added to his already crabby mood.
The elevator doors open and there he is. Waiting for me.
