Torn...

Chapter 26

(A/N: sorry for skipping to the wedding, its just i thought you wouldn't want to wait :), enjoy xx)

November 16th- the Wedding!
I put on my silky white dress, cream shoes and makeup. My hair slightly curled, worn down.  The anticipation of finally marrying Sal got me very.. very excited. I made sure I was wearing my daisy necklace and it sat nicely on my neck. I was getting married in one of the poshest hotels in New York. We got two rooms so Sal could get ready without seeing me and vice versa.

It was only 30 minutes before the wedding, when Gemma came into the room crying- which was all i needed. She slumped down with a thousand tissues in her hand. I sat beside her on the bed and gave her a hug.
"Whats wrong?" I asked her.
"Me... and.. Murr.. broke up!" She revealed.
"On my wedding day?" I asked. That sounded quite selfish. "I mean.. today?" I re-worded.
"Yeah." She said with more tears.
"Why?" I asked.
"He said its too awkward with you and him" she told me.
"What?" I asked completely puzzled.
"You and him. He said recently he liked you and its too awkward" she told me.
"But I'm with Sal.. and i dont like Murr in that way" i said. I saw her getting more upset. Even though I didn't want them together (for this reason) but i hated seeing her hurt, so i decided to sort this out.

Sal's POV
I kept adjusting my tie in the mirror, worrying it looked awful. I turned round to Murr sat on the bed and asked
"Does this look okay?"
"For the hundredth time.. YES!" Murr shouted.
"Alright bud, its just I'm about to marry the most perfect women in the world" i said, with smile spreading on my face.
"Shes not perfect!" Murr snapped.
"In my eyes she is" i replied.
"Shes annoying" Murr said.
"Is this over you and Gemma? Dont take this out on Emily, Murr" I said. I knew i was way to overprotective of her, but I couldn't help it.
"Just leave it" Murr snapped at me.

Q walked back into the room and saw Murr upset but after hearing our conversation he decided not to ask.
"Hey Sal, where is Emily staying?" Q asked me, randomly.
"Room 305" i replied.
And with that, Q left.

Emilys POV
I made my way over to Sal's room to talk to Murr. I was about to knock when the door flung open. It was Q.
"Oh hey" I said to him with a warm smile.
"Hey. I was about to go and talk to you" Q said.
"Why" I asked.
"Can we go to the bar and talk?" Q asked.
"Okay" i said, following him there. He ordered two soft drinks and sat opposite me on a booth.
"Emily.." Q began. "Feel free to say no" he added.
"To what?" I asked.
"Is it okay.. if I.. walk you down the aisle. I was thinking about it earlier and I would love to" Q asked. This made me smile. I got up and hugged him.
"Yes please!" I said to him.

We were now 2 minutes before the wedding. Sal and Joe and Murr and all guests were there, and Q was waiting by the doors with me, to walk me down.
"Are you ready?"Q asked.
"Nope" i replied, with my hands shaking.
"It'll be fine" Q reassured me.

As the music began, we slowly walked down the aisle. Q held my hand softy to calm me down a bit. I stood on the podium, opposite Sal, who gave me one of the brightest smiles ever. Behind me was Gemma, and behind Sal was Murr. Just as the vicar began, Murr said
"Look Gemma, I'm sorry..". Sal turned around to Murr
"Dont start Murr- leave it!" He warned him.
"HOW DARE YOU!" Gemma shouted. I also told her to stop yelling as they were causing a scene. And before we know it- they were having an argument in front of everyone. Me and Sal turned to each other and decided to leave for a bit. We escaped into the bar and had a drink.
"So this will be fun" i said to him with a laugh.
"Just enjoy our drinks then we will go back when its all calmed down" Sal said as we clinked our glasses.

About 10 minutes later Joe texted us and said it was okay to come back. Weirdly, all my nerves vanished. I held onto Sals hand as we ran down the aisle. We were both laughing so much that everyone else laughed.
"Lets get this show on the road" i said to them.

"We are gathered here today to celebrate one of life's greatest moments, the joining of two hearts and to give recognition to the worth and beauty of love, and to add our best wishes to the words which shall unite this couple in marriage" the vicar began. "Now for the vows" he added.  added. "Sal first?" Sal nodded.
Sal took out a leaflet from his pocket which made me laugh.
"I Sal Vulcano take you Emily to be my wife, my partner in life and my one true love. This leaflet has shown me how to love and care for the most gorgeous, funny, smart and incredible girl i know" Sal said to me with a huge smile.
"Sal Vulcano, i take you to be my husband. You are the most perfect man for me. I love you so much and nobody could ever ruin that" i said.
"Sal Vulcano do you take Emily to be your wife?" The vicar asked.
"I do" Sal replied, holding onto my hands.
"Emily, do you take Sal to be your husband?" The vicar asked me.
"I do" I replied, smiling at Sal.
"Now for the rings" the vicar said.
I turned around and Gemma passed me Sals, and Murr handed Sal my ring.
"Wedding rings are an unbroken circle of love, signifying to all the union of this couple in marriage" the vicar said.
"I place this ring on your finger as a symbol of our marriage... which will last longer than Gemma and Murrs relationship" Sal joked which got everyone laughing- even Murr and Gemma. Sal slid the ring onto my finger.
"I place this ring on your finger as a symbol of our marriage" i said, placing the ring on his finger.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife" the vicar said. "You may kiss the bride".
Sal slowly leaned in and placed his hands on my neck to pull me closer and planted a soft kiss on my lips. I felt his smile crease against my lips.
"I love you" i whispered.
"I love you so much more" he replied.

****
At the reception the DJ announced it was time for mine and Sals first dance.

We made our way on the dance floor. Sal placed his hands on my hips and I placed mine around his neck. He gently swayed to the song "Not Today by Imagine Dragons" i loved him so much and i was finally married to Sal Vulcano.
