Terrified To Love You

Chapter Twenty

Eliza's pov
Today is our wedding day. I'm so exited to finally marry my gorgeous Arizona. She's amazing and makes me so incredible happy. She's the love of my life. I wake up with Arizona in my arms, my arm around her waist. I kiss her shoulder. She stirs and turns in my arms, pulling me in for a kiss. Her lips are soft and warm. I smile against them and we break apart for air. "Good morning. Today's the day, gorgeous." She exclaims happily. "Yeah, today's the day." I agree, beaming at her. There's a knock at the door and we groan. "Get up you too! Wedding day!" April says. I roll my eyes but we get up and open the door. "Ar, let's go." April chirps. We planned for me to get ready here and for Arizona to get ready at April and Jackson's place. "Coming. I'll see you soon." She says, kissing my head before leaving with April. I head into the living room and grab a breakfast bar and some coffee. I'm eating when the door swings open. "Up and at 'em Minnick!" Alex says as he and Meredith enter the house. I groan but quickly finish my breakfast. "Callie has Sof and Bailey?" I ask. "Yeah. Callie's getting them ready." Meredith confirms. Sofia is our flower girl and Bailey is our ring bearer. The bridesmaids are April, Meredith, and Amelia. The brides men are Alex, Owen, Jackson, and my brother, Blake. "Ok let's get ready." I say happily. I get dressed in my gown and Meredith does my hair so it falls down my back in waves. I put on my white flats and apply some makeup. I'm ready.

April does my hair so it cascades down my back in curls and makeup. I put on my gown and flats. I'm ready. I'm so nervous. "It'll be fine Arizona." April reassures me. "I know, I'm just nervous." I sigh. "Come on. It's time to go." April urges. Here we go. We head to the place of the wedding, which is a nice area in a meadow. The music starts to play. Sofia and Bailey walk down the aisle. I smile at the adorable pair. The bridesmaids walk down the isle. Then, Alex walks me down the aisle. I smile as I see Eliza, standing there waiting for me. God I love her so much. When we reach her, Alex hugs me and goes to take his place beside Jackson. Eliza takes my hands in hers and we stare into each other's eyes. "We are gathered here today to witness the marriage of these two incredible woman. Please say your vows." Miranda, who's officiating the ceremony, says. "Arizona, from the moment I saw you, I knew you were the one for me. I love you to the moon and back. You are perfect inside and out. I love you." Eliza says, making me smile even wider. "Eliza, I love you more than anything. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Your my one and only, my meant to be. I love you so much." I say. Eliza smiles at me. "Rings please." Miranda requests. Bailey comes up and hands us the rings. I slide the ring onto Eliza's finger. She beams at me, her blue grey eyes sparkling. She slides the other ring onto my finger and I smile at her. "Eliza Cecilia Minnick, do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?" Miranda asks. "I do." Eliza beams, squeezing my hands gently. "And do you, Arizona Barbara Robbins, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?" Miranda asks. "I do." I answer, smiling so hard my checks hurt. "I now pronounce you wife and wife. You may now kiss." Miranda says. The crowd claps as Eliza cups my face gently and connects our lips. Her lips are so soft and warm. This is pure bliss.

Later that night, Arizona and I lay in bed, after some adult activity, panting. Her head is on my chest, my arms wrapped securely around her. "I love you, my gorgeous wife." I whisper softly in her ear. "I love you too." She whispers back. I hold her closer and kiss her forehead. For the first time since my father died, I am truly happy. I'm married to the most amazing woman in the world. This is the life.
