it's the day. today's the day. today's the day i marry the love of my life. since day one he's been my best friend, and i've always known i'd fall for him.
i'm hella nervous. i mean who wouldn't be?
it's currently 2 PM, and the wedding starts at 3. it's come so fast.
i haven't seen shawn all day, because i'm not supposed to. ya know, traditional wedding rules! i haven't eaten, ive barely drank anything, and i'm just over stressing everything. i guess it's just such an important day and i want everything to go smoothly.
right now this girl, who i don't know, is doing my hair and makeup. all i'm in is a white, silk, robe until it's time to put on the dress. oh god, the dress is absolutely stunning. thank god i had my mom help find a dress and dress shop, knowing me i would've went to walmart and found a decent looking dress and called it good.
jokes, jokes.
the wedding is being held at my grandparents place up in northern california. it's so beautiful up here, and it's nice to get a little break from the giant city of LA.
they own a ranch, and the wedding is set up out in a huge field that's full of daisy's, and a few huge oak trees. it looks magical, i couldn't of asked for anything more.
the after party(s) will be held in this huge gazebo that everyone here has helped decorate beautifully. i'm so thankful for everyone here.
"all done!" the lady, melissa, who did my hair and make up said.
"sweet.." i said and grabbed a hand mirror to take a look at what she had done.
"wow.. you did amazing melissa, thank you!" i said and hugged her, careful not to mess up my hair or makeup.
"time to put the dress on!" my mom yelled as she came running in with the dress in the dress cover.
i grabbed it from her and walked into the dressing room thing. i put it on and looked in the body mirror, admiring how beautiful the dress was.
i zipped it up and made sure i looked decent. i walked out and everyone gasped.
"ari, baby you look magnificent." my mom said as she covered her mouth.
i smiled and did a little twirl to show them the entire thing.

^ my dream wedding dress. AND IMAGINE HOW GORGEOUS ARI WOULD LOOK IN THAT.
"thank you guys.." i said as i hugged everyone.
i was walking towards the door when i heard talking coming from the other room across from the one i was in.
"you're a man now shawn.. i'm proud of you." i heard manny's voice.
i smiled as i stopped to continue listening.
"thank you dad.. i really love her." his soft voice said.
"i know you do. now get out there son!" he said as shawn grew into a small fit of laughter.
my smile grew wider and my heart started racing as i headed out the door.
my dad has grown even more distant between everyone, so he will not be walking me down the aisle. in fact, he's not even here. i sent him a wedding invitation, and it got mailed back to me because the address was wrong. it was the last address of his i knew, so apparently he moved and didn't tell us.
so instead, my grandfather, joe, will be walking me down. he keeps telling me how honored he is to be doing this. it warms my heart.
"you look beautiful darling." my grandpa said as he pulled me into a hug.
"thank you grandpa. i love you." i said as i hugged him back.
everyone got everything situated, and i was now standing behind a white silk curtain, waiting to go down the aisle.
"are you ready?" my grandpa asked me.
out of no where, i felt ready to cry. i never knew this day would come.
i nodded my head and we walked through the curtain.
i made eye contact with shawn immediately. his eyes widened and his mouth slowly hung open.
"woah.." i saw him mouth.
i smiled and looked down at the ground, feeling awkward having everyone's eyes on me.
we finally made it to the end of the aisle, and i gave my grandpa a kiss on the cheek before standing in front of shawn.
"you look stunning darling." shawn said as he grabbed my hands in his, a slight shade of pink rising to his cheeks.
"thank you love, you look amazing yourself." i said and smiled at him.
he smiled back as the speech guy (i literally don't know what the people who ''marry you" are called so i'm calling him the speech guy) began to say whatever he said. i honestly didn't pay any attention to what he said, i was zoned out on the lovely man in front of me.
it was now time to say our wedding vows, and shawn went first.
"i don't know where to start. how about we start with junior year when you were zoning out on me in english class?" he asked with a smile as everyone began to laugh.
"i'm kidding. ariana rae grier, i love you with every square inch of my heart. i mean that, i do. ill never be able to explain to you the amount of joy you bring into my life. you're my little lightbulb that illuminates all of the dark parts of my life. you've shown me what true love is, what it's like to love, what it's like to feel loved, and i can't explain how amazing it's been to learn about you, and even myself over these years with you. you've made me a better person, you've gave me more motivation to chase my dreams, and last but not least, you've gave me purpose. i'm the luckiest guy to walk the earth being able to say i'm marrying you. that's a fact." he said with a smile on his face the whole time.
i wanted to kiss him right then and there, but i couldn't just yet. i felt tears brim the edges of my eyes, and i tried my best to hold them back.
*can we skip her speech because this chapter is ALREADY over 1000 words😰*
"shawn, do you take ariana rae grier as your beloved wife?" the guy asked shawn.
"i do." he nodded.
"and ariana, do you take shawn peter raul mendes as your beloved husband?" he asked me.
"i do." i smiled.
"well then, you may now kiss the bride."
