Maya:

That's all I needed.

I just needed Shawn to talk some sense into me and just feel his reassuring hand squeeze in mine. He can make me feel better about doing something I'm totally not ready to do.

He's my hero. And I can't wait to marry him.

I'm ready.

"You ready?" Lauren asked handing me my flowers after I walked out of the bathroom and fixed up some of my makeup.

"Yeah. Let's do this!" I said and the whole team put their fists in a circle and did a little team scream before the bells started ringing and I knew it's now time for me to go.

Now I'm gonna walk down the isle to the man I will promise my love, life and time to. And I couldn't be happier.

Lauren and Aaliyah walked in before me and just as I was about to walk out onto the isle, Manny came running up to me. "Ready?" He asked and held out his arm for me.

I pulled him into a tight hug and felt a tear sliding down my cheek once again. I know I told my dad to leave but with Manny by my side, there's nobody who I'd rather have let me walk down the isle.

"Thank you." I said and pulled away, wiping my tear of my cheek. "No girl should walk alone on their wedding day." He said and I locked my arm in with his.

We walked down the isle and immediately I saw Shawn.

Damn he looked good in his navy tux. He smiled at me and my heart leaped.

It's as if it's just us.

Like he said.

Before I knew it I was standing infront of him. I gave Manny another hug and Shawn shook his hand. "Thanks dad." He said softly and Manny winked at him.

Shawn took my hand in his and all my nerves were washed away. "God you look so beautiful Maya. You really look like a Queen." He said and I saw tears pooling up in his eyes.

I started laughing at him mentioning my Queen statement I said when he was away on tour and I bought my dress. "Not to bad yourself Mendes." I said and he laughed.

Everyone was seated and the ceremony started. I could only focus on Shawn.

Our eyes never leaving each other's and I was so happy that I'm actually marrying the wonderful guy standing infront of me.

-

"Do you, Shawn Peter Raul Mendes, take the Maya Alice Mari Steinfeldt, to be your lawfully wedded wife?" The pastor asked and Shawn looked back over to me. I could see he was trying so hard to hold back his tears as the pooled up in his eyes.

I just smiled at him, giving his hand a reassuring squeeze as he wiped his eyes. Making the tears pool up in mine.

"Without a doubt, yes." He said and I looked down at the floor, biting down on my bottom lip to hold in my sob as I softly cried.

He wants to marry me.

I never thought this day would come.

When I opend my eyes, blinking repeatedly to get the tears away, I saw him stepping closer to me and I felt his hand cupping my cheek.

He wiped away my falling tear and I smiled up at him. Our eyes locking on each other's again, making my cheeks warm up in the palms of his hands.

'I love you' he mouthed to me and I took his hands off my face, kissing the palm of his hand before taking them in mine and looking backa t the pastor.

"And do you, Maya Alice Mari Steinfeldt, take the Shawn Peter Raul Mendes to be your lawfully wedded hu-" but before he could finish his sentence I cut him off.

"Yes!" I said and jumped slightly up and down on the tips of my toes, showing my excitement.

"Well then. By the power invested in me, I hereby pronounce you Husband and Wife. Mister and Misses Mendes. You may kiss your bride." He said and I smiled up at Shawn.

I stepped closer to hima nd he cupped my cheeks again, smashing his lips to mine. The people started cheering and clapping and Shawn smiled into our kiss, making me smile as well.

The excitement level inside of me now can't be explained.
We're married. Shawn and Maya Mendes.

It has a good ring to it.
Maya Mendes.

I love it.
And I love him.

This is the best day of my life.
