"Tomorrow is ours, okay?"

Shay's P.O.V

One Month Later

"Okay so do it just like this tomorrow & we'll have ourself a wedding." Our family friend, Rylan, said. He happened to be the person marrying us. Since Michael & I both didn't really identify religiously, we found someone else to officiate our marriage & it happened to be someone my family knew quite well.

We had just finished up at our rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding.

Michael & I were surrounded by both of our immediate families & our entire wedding party which was his three band mates & my bridesmaids were, surprise, their girls.

These were our people.

After we finished the actual rehearsal, Rylan left & everyone mingled around for awhile. We held the rehearsal in the hotel that was near our wedding venue. It was where we blocked off rooms for people who needed a hotel for the wedding weekend. We rented out one of the conference rooms in the back of the hotel for the rehearsal.

I was in the middle of talking to Michael's dad when I saw Michael come up.

"Can I steal Shay for a minute, dad?"

"Of course. I'll talk to you later, Shay."

"Yea, okay." Then I turned around to look at Michael. "Stealing me away?"

"Come with me." Michael linked his arm in mine before leading me out of the room.

"Where are you taking me?"

"I'm kidnapping my bride for a little bit."

Michael & I walked outside onto the back patio of the hotel which had a gorgeous fountain in the center & lights up around the area.

"So Shay." Michael said as we sat down on a bench.

"Yea?"

"We're getting married tomorrow."

"I know."

"It's surreal. By this time tomorrow, you'll legally & officially be Shay Clifford."

"I can't wait." I looked up at him with the biggest smile. "I'm so excited."

"Me too."

"Tomorrow, you'll have a ring on this finger too." I pointed to his ring finger. "You can finally wear your wedding band."

"Yea, I know. I want to wear it. I want to be your husband."

"You will be."

"I know pretty soon you'll be going back to your parent's place with all of the girls & I'll be in this hotel with my boys but I wanted to spend some time together before we're not really allowed to interact."

"Why is that a tradition? Why can't you see your fiancé before the wedding?"

"I don't know who started it but I think I get why they did."

"Really? Why?"

"To built up the tension & the excitement."

"I guess. But now I'm so used to spending every single night with you, I don't want one apart."

"But after tonight, we'll be married & we'll have the rest of our lives to spend nights together."

"True."

"Shay, you are the love of my life. I cannot wait to read you my vows tomorrow & to kiss you & you make you my wife."

"It's my dream coming true."
