Baby Daddy // H.B.R.

Ch. 18

Eva's POV

The soft ring of music filled my ears as the doors that separated the white, silky carpet and my white dress. The doors opened as my mother walked out the doors first, pushing aside the white curtains that hid me. Next one by one my bridesmaids walked out with their bouquets in hand. I took a deep breath.

You can't be getting cold feet Eva, Hunter is the love of your life. Breathe. Breathe.

I took another deep breath and tightened my grip on my bouquet. I took a step; then another and another. I pushed aside the frail white curtains, and looked forward to the one who has my love. He was crying, yet these weren't saddened tears. They were sweet tears, tears of love and happiness. Excitement.

A few steps separated him and I. I kept my eyes locked on him. I stopped right before him, but I had no one to hand me over to Hunter, so I kept going. The ceremony went along without a hitch. Many tears are spilling onto cheeks along with smiles crossing all the faces.

"Hunter and Eva will now exchange rings to symbolize their commitment. Rings are derived from humble beginnings of imperfect metal to create something striking where there was once nothing at all. It's worn on the ring finger as it is the only finger with a vein running to the heart. The wearing of the rings is a visible, outward sign that they have committed themselves to one another." The minister states, "Hunter please take Eva's hand and repeat these words."

Hunter perked up as any groom would. I smiled in excitement, he was full of excitement, everyone in this room was ecstatic.

"I give you this ring as a symbol of our love..." The minister stated, and Hunter repeated his words. "I give you this ring as a symbol of our love..."

"...for today and tomorrow, and for all the days to come." The minister looked up at us and smiled.

"for today and tomorrow, and for all the days to come." Hunter smiled as he kept repeating the promises of the minister.

"Wear it as a sign of what we have promised on this day..."

"Wear it as a sign of what we have promised on this day"

"and know that my love is present,"

"and know that my love is present,"

"even when I am not. Please place the ring onto her finger" The minister said.

"even when I am not," Hunter pushed the ring onto my finger and whispered, " I love you."

The ceremony continued and I repeated all the same words and promises Hunter had said to me.

As Hunter and I strutted down the aisle together, all we could do was smile. As we arrived in the small room I got ready in, he placed a soft kiss upon my right temple. I smiled and looked back at him, and let go of his hand. I walked myself over to the vanity and refreshed my makeup for some final photos.

"Baby... You don't need any of this. You are so perfect the way you are.""Thank you Hunter, but I am all done. It seems as though the photographer is ready for us to take some pictures," I smiled taking his hand asking, "Ready?" "Ready."
