Cather and Levi

The Big Day

*5 months later*

Cath's POV

Today is the day. The Wedding. We're not having it in Florida like we had planned, because we have to save our money in every way possible. However, we are still having it on a beach, because it's what Levi and I both want. We're going through with the move to Tennessee, and we've already told everyone the news. I'm really looking forward to it. It's going to be a change, but I think it's what we need. Ruby isn't old enough to comprehend it yet, but I know it'll be good for her too.

I'm on my way to the salon right now, where I know my bridesmaids will be waiting. We're only having a small wedding, so Wren and Reagan are the only ones. I'm bringing Ruby with me, because even though it might be a terrible decision, I want my daughter to be with me on my big day. This is a once in a lifetime experience, and I want it to be memorable.

When I get to the salon, sure enough, my bridesmaids are already there. I got my nails done yesterday, so now I just have to get my hair and makeup done. When she sees me, Wren runs over to me and pulls me into a big hug.

"Congrats! This is it!" Along with Wren, Reagan rushes over to congratulate me. Wren takes Ruby out of her car seat, and kisses her on the forehead.

"My baby! I can't believe you're almost 1, you're getting so big!" she exclaims, nuzzling her own head against Ruby's.

We wait for a few minutes, until the hairstylist calls my name. I follow her to a chair, and Reagan follows me. Wren didn't follow us, because she's still in the waiting area, giving Ruby a bottle. Thank god for Wren; if she weren't here to help me today, I'd go insane.

After my hair and makeup are done, the four of us girls head back to Wren's place to get ready. Levi is at his parents house getting ready, so we don't have to worry about him. We have about an hour and a half before we have to leave, so we just get to chill. It only takes me a few minutes to get into my dress, so I don't need to put it on just yet.

Reagan and Wren are busy playing with Ruby, so I go into the kitchen to get a snack. As soon as I walk in, my phone goes off on the counter. I look down, and it's a text from Levi;

"I'm sorry for bothering you sweetheart, but I really need to see you. I hope I caught you before you put your dress on, because I'm not supposed to see it until the ceremony. Anyway, I'm at the starbucks up the road. Let me know if you can come. XO"

I reply, with a smile plastered on my face;

"You're in luck. Be there in 5."

I can't tell the girls. If I do, they'd never let me go. I can't risk going to my room to get my purse either, so I just grab one of my tote bags on a chair, and sneak out the back door.

When I get there, I see Levi's truck in the parking lot. I walk inside and Levi turns around, as soon as he hears the door open. I run over to him and press my lips to his, forcefully. He returns the kiss, with just as much passion. I break away first, because even though nobody saw us, I could feel things heating up.

"You look breathtaking" he says, staring at me. I had forgotten that my makeup and hair were already done.

"Oh I forgot about all that. Well, at least the dress is still a surprise"

He grabs my hand, and leads me to the door.

"Come on, let's go to my truck" he says.

"Levi, we can't, I-"

"Don't worry" he tells me, laughing.

"I don't want to do anything, I just want to talk. I've been really nervous all morning, even though I know everything is going to be fine. I miss Ruby so much already, and I've only been gone for a day. I love-"
