[ shawn mendes ]
i leaned in, kissing her soft lips that i crave every second we're not touching. we had to make the kiss short and sweet, we cant just make out in front of mine and her family. that'd be weird.
"and i present to you, Mr & Mrs mendes." the guy said as i lifted ariana up in my arms, walking down the aisle as everyone clapped and whistled for us.
she hid her face in the crook of my neck as she held on to me tightly, her adorable laugh escaping her mouth as we walked away.
"to the cake!" i yelled as we ran to the gazebo.
everyone soon showed up and we stood in front of the huge, beautiful cake.
i looked at the cake, then back to ariana who was smiling as she watched everyone show up.
"i cant stop staring at you." i whispered quietly.
she laughed and grabbed my hand.
"weirdo." she said.
"you know it.." i said and gave her a wink.
soon everyone showed up, and we began to cut the cake. we both took a piece on our fork and went to feed it to each other like they do at every other wedding.
just as she took her bite i gave her, she took her piece and rubbed it all over my face.
my jaw dropped and everyone began to laugh.
"you're lucky i'm nice enough to not do it back." i said as i began wiping the cake off my face with a paper towel.
she laughed and walked over to me. she acted like she was gonna give me a kiss on the cheek, but instead licked my cheek.
"ew!" i yelled with a laugh.
"the cake is good!" she laughed back.
i rolled my eyes and kissed her forehead.
as everyone was getting their cake, we stood around talking to family and friends. ariana introduced me to some of her friends and family, and i introduced her to some of mine. today's been a great day, everything i dreamed of it being.
the sun was starting to set and the after party was starting up.
"ok guys! now we are going to be doing the bride and grooms dance!" someone yelled through a microphone.
i looked over at ariana and smiled as i grabbed her hand.
the song "cross my heart" by george straight came on. ariana's family really seems to be into country music, but this song is really good for our first dance together as husband and wife.
i pulled her out to where everyone had cleared a spot for us to dance, and placed my hands on her waist, as hers rested on my shoulders.
"i love you." she said and looked me straight in the eyes.
"i love you so much more." i said.
she smiled and rested her head on my shoulder as we slowly danced together.
"i cross my heart, and promise to, give all ive got to give to make all your dreams come true." i sang along quietly with the music playing.
the song came to an end and everyone cheered for us. i pulled her into my arms, leaning in to give her a quick kiss. she wrapped her arms around my neck, deepening the kiss. it was unexpected, but i let her do it. after about 5 seconds she pulled back and smiled at me.

now it's been nearly three hours of us talking with people, dancing, drinking, and having an amazing time. ariana is definitely a little tipsy, she's stumbling all over the dance floor.
"what do you say we make our way to our room?" she asked as she walked up behind me.
"sounds like a plan.." i said as we sneaked out of the party.

"i'm so tired." she groaned as she slipped her dress off.
"shit, i left my bag at my grandparents house where i was getting ready." she said and face palmed herself as she stood there in nothing but her matching dark red lace undergarments.
i bit my lip as i looked her body up and down. curse you bad thoughts.
"here, you can sleep in one of my shirts." i said and threw her one of my t shirts.
