"Kevin!" My mother called out to me as she made her way into the house.
"Yeah?" I answer as she struts into the kitchen.
"Isn't the wedding today?" My mother asked as she watched me get a line up.
"Yes mother I had Violet go get her dress a few days ago. She at the spa some where right now getting her nails done. Can you believe her?" I fuss because that would take all damn day.
"Boy hush you sitting here getting your hair cut." My mother said snickering.
"But I got him to come here, she could have did the same thing." I say pouting.
"When was the last time you saw Zaidee?" Mother asked sitting down.

"It has been three days before she was stolen away by your daughters and her little friends to go dress shopping!" I huff subconsciously crossing my arms.

"Boy," she replied full blown laughing at me.
"It's not funny." I whined, shit I missed my babies.
"It's cute though, she will be there son. You'll have your babies back after the wedding." She says patting my hand. After talking to my mother a little longer she leaves and I go shower. The wedding was starting in less than two hours.

Pulling out my phone I send Zaidee a long text telling her that I love her and our baby and I couldn't wait to see them at the alter. She responded in seconds says they loved me too. She also updated me on her sickness.

I wasted no time planning an early ceremony. Kerstin's team had done a marvelous job at turning my dream of a country wedding into a reality. At this moment I was excited to see the rest of the set up. Looking at my watch I noticed that it's 11:57am and I walked to my space at the alter to stand. At 12:00 on the dot the wedding starts. My parents, Tevin and Kelly London are escorted in and following them is Zadie's mom, Tasha Zaharias. The the bridesmaids and groomsmen.  There was Naomi, Arianna, Justin and Mark. The ring barer was my nephew  Noah, the flower girl was my niece Octavia.Soon as the music changes and I stare at the end of the isle waiting for her to appear. The moment my eyes land on her I start crying. Zaidee looked so breathtakingly beautiful in her long lacy sweet heart neck line white gown, there was a small crown on her head and a veil draped over her face.

Before I realized it she was standing directly in front of me

Before I realized it she was standing directly in front of me. Hugging her dad I take her hand and turn towards Pastor Moore. It was time to make this thang official.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony." Pastor Moore says with a big smile on his face.
"Kevin James London, do you take this woman to be your wife, to live together in holy matrimony, to love her, to honor her, to comfort her, and to keep her in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, for as long as you both shall live?" He asked me.
"I do." I say quickly wasting no time.
"Zaidee Violet Zaharias, do you take this man to be your husband, to live together in holy matrimony, to love him, to honor him, to comfort him, and to keep him in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, for as long as you both shall live?" He asked Zaidee.
"I do." She answered softly and I look over and notice she is also crying.

"Kevin repeat after me." The pastor says.
"I, Kevin, take you Zaidee, to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part." I say smiling as I look into her eyes giving her hands a light squeeze.
"Zaidee repeat after me." He says to her.
"I, Zaidee, take you Kevin, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part. " She says returning my smile with one of her own.

Pastor Moore asks me to place the ring on the Zaidee's finger and to repeat the following, "I give you this ring as a token and pledge of our constant faith and abiding love."
Pastor Moore then asked Zaidee to place the ring on the my finger and to repeat the following, "I give you this ring as a token and pledge of our constant faith and abiding love."
"By virtue of the authority vested in me under the laws of the State of Texas, I now pronounce you husband and wife." Pastor Moore says excitedly as the crowd waits in silence.
"You may kiss the bride." I wasted no time lifting the veil over Zaidee's face and smashing my lips against hers.

Play song as you read!

"Hello Mrs. London," I whisper once I released her lips. Smiling brightly she blushes, hiding her face against my chest. Remembering where we are I grab Zaidee's hands and we make our way out of the ceremony space, which was held at our local church home. By the time we make it outside there is a line of our family and friends showering us in rice. Quickly running down the line we hop into the waiting limousine. Giggling Zaidee leans into me as I pulled in the ends of her gown into the car before the door was closed.

"I love you Mr. London. The wedding ceremony space was absolutely beautiful. I don't think I would have  done or added anything different." My wife said with nothing but love shining through her eyes.
"I had a little help, but thank you. I remembered what you use to say about having a southern wedding. I listen."
"I see, now gimme a kiss." She says leaning forward as much as gown would allow. Kissing her with my entire being I groan into her mouth.
"Damn girl. That's why you pregnant now." I say chuckling once I've caught my breath. Rubbing my hand down my face I smile and pull her into my lap.

"Where are we headed now?" She asked looking down at me.
"To our photo shoot part two. I can't wait to see all of the photos and videos from this morning of you."
"Yeah it was weird having a camera crew the past three days." She says squirming.
"Why you leave me for three days? I missed the fuck out of you and my baby. I was mad as hell I couldn't kiss y'all goodnight." I say chuckling at my selfishness.
"Matter a fact let me see yo damn nails." I say lifting her hand. Placing them side by side I look at the designs 'M R S . L' was on the right hand and 'O N D O N' was on the left hand. I couldn't help but smile as I placed a kiss on each hand. She think she slick.
"I was giving you some 'Me' time. Don't be hating on my nails either." Zaidee says giggling like a little school girl.
"All I need is you two. Y'all are my life. I only want family time." I say looking into her eyes.
"You got plenty more time for that, I just wanted you to enjoy your last three days as a free man." She whispered softly blushing.
"Babydoll I haven't been a free man since I laid eyes on you." I say realizing we were nose to nose as we both leaned in.
"Oh Kevin," Zaidee says bursting into tears.
"Oh baby don't cry!" I say quickly kissing her lips and wiping her lone tear.
"It's your fault over here trying to sweet talk me." She huffs.
"You are already my wife. As far as I'm concerned you been my wife, you just didn't know it yet." I say winking at her just as we arrive.
Once the photography people fixed up Zaidee's makeup we take our photos then dip out to our wedding reception.

"I now present to you Mr. and Mrs. London!" The guest go wild with screams as we enter the room. Before we knew it dinner had come and gone and it was time for our first dance as husband and wife. 'You' starts playing as we walk onto the dance floor.

"I just wanna be yours from this day forth," I say to my wife just as the song ends and the crowd go wild chanting for us to kiss.
"Give the people what they want Kane." Zaidee moaned into my ear as my hands gripped her hips tightly.

Smashing my lips against hers I tune out the crowd.
