        LOCKWOOD WEDDING

In exactly one hour, I will marry my best friend. I'm so nervous right now. Im sitting in a silk robe getting my makeup done by my friend Katie. Katie is also my maid of honor.

"You are going to look so beautiful, Kenz." She says as she puts on some eyeliner.
"Thank you for everything, Kat. I really appreciate it." I said and smiled.

Katie finished putting on my makeup before going to change with my two other bridesmaids. My bridesmaids are my cousin Allie, my friend Lauren, and Katie. We are all the same age, so we pretty much grew up together.

When the girls are done changing, they come back to help me into my dress. I step into my dress and they zip it up for me. Then, I slip on my garter before Allie helps me put on my boots. We take a lot of pictures together to waste time before the wedding. Soon, it's 15 minutes until the wedding. My bridesmaids leave the room to get ready for their cue. I pick up the urn that has my dad's ashes in it and wait my the door. Soon, I hear my cue to go in and the barn doors open. I walk outside and everyone stands up. I slowly walk down the aisle and smile at everyone. I see my mom crying and I also see a tear slip down Jess's cheek. When I get up to the alter, I had my bouquet to Katie and I sit my father's ashes on the chair beside my mom.

Then, Jess takes ahold of my hands and I smile. Everyone sits down and the pastor gets ready to start the ceremony.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate the love between Jess Ray Lockwood and Mackenzie Mae Mauney." The pastor said and smiled at us.

SKIPPING TO VOWS

"Mackenzie, do you take Jess, to be your husband? Do you pledge to share your life openly with him and to speak the truth to him in love?" The pastor asked

"I do." I answered and smiled.

"Will you comfort him, honor him and keep him, in sickness and in health, in sorrow and in joy, so long as you both shall live?" The pastor asked.

"I will." I answered and smiled.

"Jess, do you take Mackenzie, to be your wife? Do you pledge to share your life openly with her and to speak the truth to her in love?" The pastor asked Jess.

"I do." Jess answered and squeezed my hand.

"Will you comfort her, honor her, and keep her, in sickness and in health, in sorrow and in joy, so long as you both shall live?" The pastor asked.

"I will." Jess answered.

"May I have the rings?" Pastor asked.

Our ring bearer stepped forward and Jess and I grabbed the rings.

"Jess, as you place the ring on Mackenzie's finger, please repeat after me," the pastor started, "Mackenzie, I give you this ring, as a symbol of my love. I ask you to wear it as a sign to the world that you are my wife. With this ring, I thee wed." The pastor said.

"Mackenzie, I give you this ring, as a symbol of my love. I ask you to wear it as a sign to the world that you are my wife. With this ring, I thee wed." Jess repeated and slipped the ring on my finger.

"Mackenzie, as you place the ring on Jess's finger, please repeat after me; Jess, I give you this ring, as a symbol of my love. I ask you to wear it as a sign to the world that you are my husband. With this ring, I thee wed." The pastor said.

"Jess, I give you this ring, as a symbol of my love. I ask you to wear it as a sign to the world that you are my husband. With this ring, I thee wed." I repeated and slipped the ring on Jess's finger.

"I now announce you as husband and wife. Jess, you may kiss your bride." The pastor said.

Jess leaned forward and gave me a quick but passionate kiss.

"Mr. and Mrs. Jess Lockwood." The pastor announced.
Jess and I walked back down the aisle followed by our wedding party and went into the barn where the reception will be held. Everything looks beautiful. For Jess and I's first dance, we dance to Bless the Broken Road by Rascal Flatts. The whole night is just amazing and I have so much fun dancing with Jess and my friends and family.

When the reception is over, Jess and I head to our new house. This will be our first night in it. We change out of our wedding clothes and put on pajamas before laying in bed together.
Jess gets on top of me and he starts to kiss me as his hand roam my body. Soon, we make love for the first time and I couldn't ask for a better person to lose my virginity to. I'm so glad that I'm officially Mrs. Lockwood!!!!
