"Jaelyn Raquel Evans, will you marry me?" I looked at the ring and it was beautiful. He held my hand and looked at me waiting for my answer and to be honest I didn't have one for him.

I was shocked. I NEVER in a million years though I would get married none the less get proposed to. I honestly wanted to run. I didn't know what to do. I felt emotional.

"Jaelyn?" He said after I didn't answer.

"Axe, stand up." I pulled his hand and he stood up the box closing in his hand. He looked confused, like I had told him no. Actually I had to be sure, this is what he wanted, I wanted.

"You sure you want to marry me?" I asked him and he looked hurt.

"What do you mean? Of course I do, I wouldn't have asked you if I didn't. Do you want to marry me?"

"I don't know." I looked down ashamed. I wouldn't be mad if he didn't want to marry me anymore.

"What? I don't understand?"

"It's just, are you sure you want to marry me? Are you sure I'm the person you want to carry on your last name? I'm crazy, I'm mean, I'm a bitch, I'm standoffish, I'm..." A whole list more words.

"Beautiful, you make my life a hundred, thousand time better, you're the only person I can imagine, need, want to see walk do the aisle to me. You're the first person I want to see in the morning when I wake up and the last person I see when I go to sleep. You aren't any of those things, but what you have is a big heart and you love hard. You use those things to protect yourself. You're loyal and I know you'll have my back always. So yes you're the one I want to carry my last name, you're my family Jae. I love you so fucking much."

"Okay, who put these onions over here." I wiped the tears that threatened to fall.

"So, what do you say?"

"Ye..."

"Wait, lets do it right." He got down one one knee again.

"So Jaelyn Raquel Evans, will you marry me?" He asked me again and this time I didn't have to think. I knew I wanted to marry him like he wanted to marry me. I loved him with fiber in my being. He was the one for me, like I was for him.

"Yes. Always." He slid the ring on my finger and I was smiling so hard. We was getting married. I was marry the love of my life. Nothing could stop me from feeling this way.

"Oh my gosh, my best Fran getting married." I looked up and everybody was looking our way. Erin ran towards me and grabbed my hand.

"How long y'all been standing there?" I asked while everyone else joined us.

"Not long, we saw him get down and you nodding like your head was about to fall off." Ma said with chance in her arms. I was grateful that nobody say that first part. I never wanted to doubt him again. I knew he wanted this like I did and for that I was grateful.

"You got a good one little bro." Mei said patting Axel on the back.

"I know."

We spent the rest of the night with our friends and family celebrating our engagement and our anniversary. He was definitely going to get it tonight. I might even do that thing he wanted. I was buzzed enough and not just on alcohol. I could do that for my future husband. I'm still in shock he was going to be my husband. My husband, all mine.

Four Months Later

We were planning our wedding. We had our date. June 6, 2018. It was about four months away. Currently ma, Erin and Axel's mother was looking at wedding dresses. We've been to ten dress shops so far, because somebody found something wrong with any of the dresses I tried on. I tried ball gowns, mermaids, fitted, loose, lace, saffron, knee length, full length. I just wanted to pull my hair out.

"I don't like it." Ma said after the billionth dress.

"Ma you pick the dress out." I said standing in in the mirror at the dress shop.

"I know, but now that I see it I don't like it."

"It flushes out your skin." Erin added.

"Try on my dress." Mi-sook or Axel's mom pointed to a dress on the hook beside the mirror.

"Last dress. I'm hungry we can start over tomorrow or maybe this might be the dress." On que my stomach growled. I haven't even got the chance to eat all day today. Axel probably going to be mad, these last couple of months I forget to eat sometimes some days. I'm just stressed. I see why people turn into a bridezilla.

"Okay, okay. Now go put on the dress."I grabbed the dress and rolled my eyes. The lady that worked in the place helped me in the dress and I could already tell they want not going to like this dress.

After yet another dress fall. I finally go to go home and see my future husband.he was laid across the bed. I kick off my shoes and lay down with him. My head on his chest.

"I don't know if I can keep up with this Axe."

"What's up?" He put his phone on the bed and looked at me.

"This whole wedding. Ma, your mother, Erin, and pretty much every other female in our families has a input in how we should have our wedding. I haven't had the chance to plan anything." I sit up with my legs crossed.

"I bet you wish we could just go to the courthouse and just get married." He said playfully.

"You serious?"

"Yeah, if that's what you want to do." He sat up too.

"I can go get a white sundress and we can go right now." I been having this thought do a while now, but since he said it, meaning he may have thought about it too.

"Let's go then." I got off the bed and he did too.

Next thing I know, we was at the courthouse saying our I do's. Did I regret doing it this way, not at all. Was I probably going to get cursed out, yep, but the one thing I'm glad I did was married Axe. I can now call myself Jaelyn Parks.
