Aria Fullerton, successful architect.
Cain Westbrooke, successful engineer.
Both start off as working together, then they become best friends, but it blossoms into something else.
Something illicit.
"I take you, Aria, to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, I promise to be with you for better or for worse, in rich and in poor, in sickness and in health, I promise to love and cherish you every day of our lives, till death do us part." We both are crying as he slips the wedding band on my finger.

He waits for the words and then kisses me with the same passion and same love as he did with our first kiss. We face the crowd and they begin to clap and cheer for us as we raise our hands together. I look at Lucy and blow her a kiss. I look at my brothers and blow them a kiss. I look up to the sky and blow one final kiss to my parents.
Cain and I walk down the aisle and are led into the hotel room where we will change and get ready for our reception. We take pictures with our photographer and families and have a cry session with them for a bit before going out with the rest of our family and friends.
"I love you, Mrs. Westbrooke." Cain squeezes my hand before we enter the main doors and are met with the rest of the crowd and our song for our first dance as a married couple.
There is a spotlight on us and in that moment, it is just me and Cain in the room. I feel tears falling on my face and try to calm myself down and not ruin my makeup again. I listen to the song as I look into his eyes.

And with this love song to you It's not a momentary phase You are my life, I don't deserve you But you love me just the same And as the mirror says we're older I want to look the other way You are my life, my love, my only And that's the one thing that won't change
I'll never stop trying I'll never stop watching as you leave I'll never stop losing my breath Every time I see you looking back at me I'll never stop holding your hand I'll never stop opening your door I'll never stop choosing you babe I'll never get used to you
"You still get my heart racing, every single day." He mouths to me the next part of the song to me and I bury my face in his neck.
The next song plays and Cain hands me over to my brother, Ben. "My little sister is married." He smiles and I can tell he wants to cry, but he's staying strong.
"I remember mom and dad telling me to make sure that the man you are going to marry has a stable job, has a house, and has the money to take care of you, but most importantly they told me to make sure that your husband respects you, cherishes you, and loves you with all his heart. Cain has definitely proved that. You have to do your part too, Aria. Respect, cherish and love Cain. Wish you guys the best." He kisses my cheek and lets Lucy intervene.
I dance with Sean, Austin, and Daniel and then we get everyone on the dance floor. Cain and I go around and thank friends and family for coming. I spot Janelle sitting down while Cain is greeting his cousins.
After our engagement, Cain and I went back to LA for a couple of weeks so I can check on my apartment and also break the news to my family there. We had a dinner party with family and friends there and invited Janelle and Marc, but it seemed like they broke up because she showed up with a different guy to our party. We sat down and talked to her and she told us that she is over Cain and is glad that we are finally together and getting married.
I greet James' parents. "I'm glad you two are here. And James?"
During our trip to LA, I spoke to James and we apologized to each. We still love and respect each other, but as great friends and Cain even talked to him and everything is okay with them.
"Since the last time we saw you, James re-enlisted and is stationed in Japan for a few months, but he wishes you two nothing but the best."
"Give us a call when he is back, we really want to see him and you two as well. Thanks for coming, it means a lot to me." I hug them.
We go around and say hi to John, our old boss, and his family. We see Max and his girlfriend who he loves very much and since he got together with her, Cain and Max are now friends and hang out once a week.
"I can't wait to show you what I have planned for tonight." Cain whispers in my ear as we get ready to walk to our car with our guests waving us off. I am excited to see where Cain is taking me rather than staying in the honeymoon suite here at this five-star hotel.
Our faces light up as we walk in the middle of our friends and families as they cheer for us and say goodbye to us.
"Enjoy the honeymoon!" Lucy winked at me as I laughed at her.
Cain opens the door for me and helps me in and then he gets in. He honks the horn and puts his hand out the window as he screams. I laugh at him, but I myself scream with him.
