The proposal

Chapter 9

Rachels' s POV

Today's the day. Today, is finally the day where I marry the love of my life, Olivier. I'm stressed, I feel like i could break down at any second. I'm also happy, I really couldn't be happier. I mean it's MY wedding. I'm also worried, worried that something goes wrong. But most of all, I'm nervous.

What if Olivier doesn't want to marry me anymore? What if someone objects during the wedding? What if people didn't show up? A million of what ifs were running through my head, until I felt someone nudging me with their elbow.

"Stop over thinking, Rachel." Mandy said.

"Everything is gonna be okay." She carried on about how I shouldn't worry and how everything was gonna go perfectly fine. I wasn't paying attention tho, because I caught sight of a baby picture of me, wearing my mom's wedding dress, and apparently dancing with my imaginary husband. All nervousness vanished as soon as I saw it, and now, all I wanted was to have the perfect wedding I always dreamed off.

I told Mandy to get ready, because we had a lot to do. I had to do my make-up, my hair, go and check if everything was ready...

"I'm ready, let's go." Mandy once again interupted my thoughts. She grabbed my hand and I had no choice but to follow her.

Olivier's POV

I was nervous as fuck. I didn't know getting married was such a big deal, until now. I wish I could back out of this, but I also wanted to marry Rachel. She's all I ever wanted, I hope she's okay. Now, time to go get ready.

Rachel's POV

It was time. I was so damn nervous I wanted to cry. My stomach was practically doing back flips. I felt like throwing up and bawling my eyes out. Someone knocked on my door. My dad entered. He looked at me with so much love, it was obvious that he didn't want to let his daughter go. But he was also happy for me. I knew it. Neither of us said a word. He started tearing up, as soon as I noticed, I hugged him as tight as I could. I felt water on my shoulder, that's when I noticed that he was silently crying. My mom came over, and joined us. It was the happiest and saddest hug we ever had.

I could see Mandy in the corner, she was trying her best not to cry. I let go of the hug, and ran to my bestfriend.

"I love you so much" I whispered in her ear.

"Go and have fun, don't worry about me, it's not like you're getting rid of me that easily." She winked with eyes full of tears, I smiled at her, and turned back to my dad.

"Time to go, princess" He said, smiling sadly.

"Okay" I choked out, and the lump that was forming in my throat wasn't helping. At all.

He took my hand, and I finally found myself walking down the aisle, ready to get married to the love of my life.

I looked at Olivier, his mouth was slightly open, and I saw Mesut patting his back, laughing. Mandy was standing at the other side of the table, looking at me with a wide smile on her face.

Olivier's POV

She looked stunning. I have never seen someone who looked more beautiful than that. As soon as my eyes landed on her beautiful figure, all nervousness washed away. All stress vanished, and all I wanted to do was to kiss her till the end of times. Finally, she was standing beside me.

My face was hurting from smiling so much, but I didn't care. All I care about right now is her.

The priest started speaking, and he told us to pronounce our vows.

Then what Rachel said made my heart melt.

"

"

The priest smiled, and he finally said the words I was dreading to hear.

"You may now kiss the bride."

I turned towards her, and leaned in for our first official kiss.
