New Beginnings

Ceremony & Reception Take 2

Rory's POV

Today is the day I reaffirm my vows and devotion to Logan in front of our family and all those deamed important within the family businesses.

It feels like it's one big show for everyone and nothing for us. I have to say I'm glad that they at least let me pick my own dress but beyond that none of the decision that have been made are mine or Logan's. We are just going through the motions to please everyone else. I am sitting in my preparation room with Steph, Paris, Louise and Madeline they are all in my bridal party and then all the guys are on Logan's side. In half and hour we will be walking down the aisle towards my husband in front of this crowd of what must be at least 400 within the church and then at the reception at the ballroom afterwards. We still have to have the traditional photos done also.

"I can't believe your marrying Logan today" Louise says in an excited tone.

"I have already married him this is for the families not for us" I say as the makeup artist finishes my look. I get up and move towards my changing partition.

"Yeah and we weren't there" Paris says in a scornful tone.

"I'm sorry that I finally decided to do something for me since mom and dad passed away. Like I said to the rest of the family I just wanted to be happy again and Logan makes me so happy" I say as I remove my robe and take my dress from the hanger. I gently slip into the dress and turn around so the girls can do up the zip and the buttons. I turn around and look in the mirror and a tear slides down my cheek. I think to myself I wish mom and dad were here. She was supposed to be my maid of honour and dad was supposed to walk me down the aisle. I quickly rush into the bathroom and breakdown against the door. I can't help but cry and sob it's the only noise that will come out. I sit there for I don't know how long and I soon hear a knock on the door.

"I'm ok I will be out in a min" I say trying to keep my voice light.

"Ace baby it's me" I hear from the other side of the door. I quickly stand up and move from the door, unlock it and step back allowing him to come in.

"Hey babe what's going through that head of yours?" He asks me as he takes me into his arms.

"I just looked at myself in the mirror and remembered that mom and dad should be here. That mom was supposed to be my maid of honour and dad was supposed to walk me down the aisle and...." I say as I breakdown into tears again.

"Oh Ace it will be alright, remember this is just a repeat we are already married. You are my Mrs Huntzberger no matter what anyone says or does and your mom and dad are with us every day and always will be" he says I look up at him and give him a sweet kiss.

"Thank you baby, that's just what I needed" I tell him and I turn and look at myself in the mirror and I realise I have given the makeup artist more work to do.

"Well my job is done, time for me to get back to the guys and I will see you in about 15 minutes my dear wife" He says as he kisses the top of my head and walks out. I take a minute to compose myself and walk back out to find the makeup artist ready to fix what I messed up with my tears. Ten minutes later I am all ready and looking perfect again, Paris passes me my bouquet and we all make our way to the entry hall to prepare for the procession. The music starts and the girls start to walk down the aisle it starts with Louise, Madeline, Paris then Steph. Soon the music ceases and then starts again with the bridal march and both grandpa's are beside me walking me down the aisle to my husband. I look up at Logan and our close friends and family and realise why we are doing this again. We stole this from them but now we are giving it back. The ceremony goes by in a flutter of tradition and before I know it we are pronounced man and wife again and we are having our newest first kiss as a married couple. We follow the procession outside and into the limo where we head off for our photo's the family is following in a car behind us.
