Our Love Grows

Chapter 6

"Now let's all put our hands together for the new couple Brandon and Stella." The DJ said.

We walked through the doors and came to the front of the room. Everyone was on their feet cheering. I put a smile on my face and sat down next to Brandon and our bridal party. Everyone started to enjoy the night.

"This is the time where the bride's and groom's friend and family have some words for the others." The DJ said and handed the mic over to Bloom.

All I could think about was, "OH SHIT!"

"Alright Brandon, a few things you are going to need to know about Stella is she can be over welling at points but she means well. If you can get over those days your future will be great. Stella is a caring and loving girl. She is passionate and when she gets an ideas she will go for it. She is just going to need you to be there to be her support team, that is all she need and she will be there for you in return."

I smiled at what Bloom said. I know that she spoke from the heart and said it all for all of my friends but I was very scared on what my parents were going to say. I really hope that they can do it together and show their love for me that I know is there. Bloom handed the mic to my mother and sat down.

"Brandon, it is a working progress with my daughter. She is stubborn and hard headed. Her father and I love her so much. She will be your rock and best friend and in return that is all she asks from you. This is new for her so take it slow and with baby steps. Welcome to the family."

I smiled to my mother. She sat down with Allen and looked to my father. He did not stand up at all. I did not except anything less from him. I just kept my fake smile onto my face and watched as the mic was pasted to Allen.

"Brandon, Stella is like a beautiful flower and she needs to be cared for the right way. She will have your back in anything and she will stand up for you if she believes that it is right. She has a great heart and cares for everyone. You are a lucky man to have such an amazing women like Stella. Treat her well like that beautiful flower."

I smiled at Allen. It was really great of him to speak up for me and make such a beautiful speech at the last minute. But it did hurt a little bit that my father did not say anything for me. I kept my happy face on and watched the mic be handed to Prince Sky.

*Brandon's POV*

I smiled to Stella's family and friends. I thought everything was properly said and I understood everything. I was a little scared on what Sky was going to say. I could never really trust my friends on what they were going to say, I could only thing of the embarrassing things they were thinking up.

"Alright, Stella you have such a great guy as your husband now. He will be there for you and will never let you down. I am going to miss seeing my best friend every day at Eraklyon but he is happy so we are happy. He push you to do your best and never let you be down. I speak for all of us when I say that Brandon is the perfect match for you. Here is to a happy life and future. We all can't wait to see the growth of you both."

That was actually perfect and I could not believe that they thought of it. Then it hit me that he said that it was from all of them. My mother must have helped them write it because it was really good. I looked over to my wife and saw that she was smiling but she was hiding something. I would bring it up later to her. Tonight is for us both to be happy and to surround us around our beloved ones.

After the speeches were done we started to walk around and greet everyone and to get to know everyone. We made it back to the front of the room and everyone started to cheer,

"KISS! KISS KISS KISS!"

I looked over to Stella and she just shrugged and we lend in and kissed. Everyone started to cheer. I could see Stella blush a little bit. It was really cute. I walked over to my friends and said,

"What do you think?"

"Well, I thing that everything will turn out alright but it will be a rollercoaster ride." Sky said.

"Talking about your wife, where is she?" Riven asked.

I looked around and excused myself from the group. I walked out to the hall and saw her leaning around the corner to watch someone. I walked behind her and placed my hand on her shoulder. She looked up and had sorrow on her face. I leaned over to listen to with her. It was her parents arguing with each other.

"You couldn't say anything for your daughter tossed. This is your only daughter and she was hoping for her father to speak at her wedding." Luna said practically screaming.

"Well, I did not know that I had to speak for behalf of me. You said most of it, like always. Then there was Allen who spoke up next." Stella's father spatted back.

"The only reason Allen said anything was because you did not. Stella deserved at least someone besides me to say something at her wedding." Luna started to say before getting interrupted.

I left from behind Stella and came to face her parents. I could not believe what I was hearing. I could see the sorrow on Stella's face and I knew that she did not deserve this from her parents. I know that they are divorced but this was ridiculous. I came face to face with them both and said,

"There should be no excuses for you to not speak at your daughter's wedding. You are her father and it was your place to say at least a few words. It does not matter if her mother's new husband said some words. You should have not passed it over or say that it was not your place to say anything because her mother said it all. There is always more to say. Mostly if it's about your own child. I know I have no place to say all of this but she is my wife now and I don't want to see her upset on her own wedding day. This moment is supposed to be a magical and happy moment and you are just making it a sad and upsetting moment with you both arguing with each other. You should feel ashamed of yourself."

*Stella's POV*

I could not believe that Brandon just stood up for me like that. Mostly to my parents. I watch as he walked away from my father with his head held high and came right to me. There was no anger or frustration in his eyes. There was just happiness and hope. Something I have not seen in a long time. He reach his hand out to me and I accepted it. We walked back into the room and started to dance. I leaned into him and said,

"You did not have to do that."

"I know, but I felt like I did and to tell you the truth I am glad I did. You deserve the moon and the stars. I want to make you happy Stella. From now until the last person is gone tonight we are going to have a good time and not worry about the drama." Brandon said smiling.

I smiled at Brandon and placed my head onto his shoulder. We danced around the floor together all night. It felt magical and just what I was looking for in my wedding. I leaned into Brandon's ear and whisper to him,

"You are my knight in shining armor."
