My heart is racing, my palms sweaty, my thoughts running through my mind like a speeding bullet.

Tonight is my wedding; one of the most important days of my entire life and I'm a nervous wreck. I haven't seen Harry in over 21 and 1/2 hours and that's killing me as well. Just not being able to touch him in any way just isn't right at all. I've been spoilt to where I'm touching him in some form, shape, or fashion at every forsaken nanosecond of everyday and that's ruined me.

"Tayten!" Leila squeals at me. "Stop thinking so much. Look, we're at the church now. Make-up and hair artists will be here in half an hour. Then your dress is going to be here after that along with your shoes. You've got something old, new, borrowed, and blue. The hairpiece that will be in your hair is blue, your dress is new, the shoes borrowed, and your veil is old but passed down in your family from generation to generation-"

"My mom wore that veil when she got married to my father." I speak up. "I saw the pictures. She looked stunning." A tear rolls down my cheek but I manage a small smile.

"Hey, you better not start crying once the make-up people get here." She warns. I can't help but laugh.

"I won't, I won't. But I can't help but wish that she was here to watch me walk down the aisle." I reply.

"She's always with you Tay." Leila smiles warmly before getting out of the car.

I'm so thankful to have her as a friend. She's always been there for me and I know she always will be. I can count on her no matter what.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I have 15 minutes before I walk down the aisle. Our bouquets have yet to arrive and I can't settle down at all. I'm all over the place.

"Tayten, you have to stay still. For Christ's sake, you're going to work up a sweat and then what are we going to do?" Leila tries to console me but it isn't really helping anything.

"I'm sorry Leila. I'm just so nervous." I respond, stopping in my tracks. "What if something goes wrong?"

"Stop worrying so much." She says. "Everything is going to be wonderful. It's your special day. The only thing you should be worrying about is Harry and yours future together."

"Thank you so much. For everything." I hug Leila as tight as I can.

"No problem."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Here Comes The Bride begins playing and the double doors open. I take in a deep breath and let it out before walking down the aisle until I'm in front of Harry.

Harry flips the veil over my head to reveal my face after I hand Leila my bouquet. He takes my hands in his and pecks my cheek.

"Mr. Styles, we aren't to that part yet." The pastor says, gaining a laugh from everyone. Harry's cheeks turn a light shade of pink but he half smiles, his dimple showing slightly. "Now, let's begin the ceremony."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"I believe the couple has prepared vows so I will let them recite those now." The pastor takes a step back so everyone can now fully focus on Harry and I.

"I've never been good with expressing my feelings with words. But I'm going to try." I start, locking my eyes with Harry's before continuing. "I've never been like most girls. All throughout my entire life, I focused on school, schoolwork, and after school activities. Sure, I had boyfriends but I wasn't 100% focused on that guy like every other girl in school. But now, at the age of 24, I've changed completely. You've changed my view on love entirely. Now, all I think about is you. I could barely sleep last night because you were constantly on my mind. It's just....everything about you intrigues me. You're just amazing, absolutely perfect in my eyes. I'm so glad that I can call you mine. My heart will forever belong to you, Harry Edward Styles. I love you so much." By now tears are daring to pour from my eyes but I hold them back in fear of my make-up smearing.

"That was beautiful, princess." Harry says. "Now it's my turn." He clears his throat slightly. "Tayten Elizabeth Bryant, soon to be Mrs. Styles, I'm in total disbelief that you're going to be mine for the rest of our lives. I remember seeing you for the first time and thinking you were the most beautiful and breathtaking woman I'd ever laid eyes on. That's still true; your beauty overwhelms me every time I take a glance at you. Plus, you're gorgeous inside and out. You're perfection Tayten, absolute perfection. Everything you do excites me in some sort of way. I've been head-over-heels in love with you ever since I first saw you; a love at first sight moment for me. I'm so glad at how far we've come together and I'm ready to see what destiny has in store for us. I know I can go make it through any obstacle as long as I have you at my side. All of my worries melt away when I look at you. You make me strong, angel. I am forever truly yours. Our hearts and souls are connected as one, which I've never felt before in my life. I've always been disconnected, in lack of contact with reality and my surroundings, until I met you. You've changed me for the better. We'll continue to grow and fight whatever battles may come our way. I love you with every fiber of my being and I will continue to love you till the day I give my last breath." His vows have made everyone cry, including myself.

The pastor steps back up and smiles. "Does anyone have a reason why these two should not be wed?" After a few moments of silence, he smiles widely. "By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." Harry grabs my waist and pulls me extremely close to him then crashes his lips down onto mine, pouring all of his passion into it. I hear the crowd cheer loudly after I wrap my arms around his neck.

My life has been completely changed by the man that is now my husband. He's torn me apart, put me back together, loved me, hurt me. He makes me forget that we aren't the only two people on the planet. But I wouldn't have it any other way. He makes everyday worth living.

There's only the epilogue next and then I'm going to put up some acknowledgements. So I'll probably finish this tonight!

Fact: Afire Love will start when this story ends :)
