Thunder In the Rain ~ Kane Brown Love Story Sequel

The Blur

*Sawyer's POV*

"So the venue will have extra staff on hand to make sure dinner goes smooth. The flowers have been ordered along with the center pieces, and the catering company has been notified about the slight increase in people." Emmeryse said

"Have the bridesmaids' dresses alterations been done?" I called from in the dressing room

"Yes. All that's left is to finish your last fitting here and then we're off to Georgia for the rehearsal dinner tomorrow night." Emmeryse said

The seamstress who had done all my alterations opened the curtain, allowing me to walk out. I stepped up in front of the mirrors. She helped pull out my train and fix my veil. I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled. I had gone with a cross between a-line and mermaid style of dress. The chest piece was cut into a sweetheart top with a v-notch in the center, allowing it to dip down a hair lower. I had opted for thin straps that resembled vines and foliage. They laid gently against my shoulders, winding around to the back where they dipped down into a deep V as they came together mid-back. On my sides were lace cut outs that stretched the length of the small of my back. My train was gorgeous as it stretched behind me, ending in lace cut outs matching those on my sides and shoulders.

"How's it feel to almost be the new Mrs. Kane Brown?" Emmeryse asked, smiling

I smiled, "Unbelievable."

"Well go get changed so we can bag this dress up and get going!" Emmeryse cheered

Within a few hours, we were packed up and boarding the plane, on our way to Georgia and on my way to being married. It had been Kane's idea to have the wedding in Georgia so it'd be close for his mom and my dad. It would also be special to us because we got our start in Georgia and were about to start our new life together in Georgia. 

*Kane's POV*

I was at the venue as the wedding party  and our close, immediate family poured in through the doors for the rehearsal dinner. We had decided to rehears early on in the day so that the venue would have plenty of time to set up. Our wedding was being held on a vineyard farm. We were being married out on their large deck that could seat near three hundred. All the chairs had been set up already and the raised section of the deck already was decorated with the arch we had requested with flowers and vines winding around it. It overlooked a pond and several hills that dipped and rose in the distance.

 We looked out of place since we had made the rehearsal dinner a boots and jeans occasion. When our officiant arrived, the rehearsal began. The manager of the venue aided us in walking through the rehearsal.

"And the mother of the bride and groom enter!" he said

With Sawyer not having her mother, Mrs. Alter's was the perfect substitute. They were escorted to the front where Mrs. Alter's and Mama each lit a candle. Then they were escorted to sit.

"Now we have the groom walking... not so quickly, you aren't a galloping horse, it's your wedding take your time..... walking. Good!" the older man said

The elicited chuckles from everyone in the room and an embarrassed smile from me. I couldn't help it, I was excited. I was getting married.

"Then the maid of honor and the best man followed by the rest of the bridesmaids and groomsmen! Good! Good! And turning! Perfect!" The man instructed

My best man and band member Alex stood beside me. I smiled as I looked over at Emmeryse, obviously dressed up in clothes borrowed from Sawyer's closet because she didn't own anything that would be considered casual in Georgia.

"Now the bride and the father of the bride! Chins up and smile." the man instructed, "And now the hand off!"

Sawyer's father took her hand from his arm and squeezed it. He placed her hand in mine and she stepped up, approaching the alter and our officiant. He ran through the order of speaking and when we would be saying our vows. Once that had finished, we turned and practiced our exit. Once inside from the deck, the smell of food greeted us as lunch was almost ready.

"Guess this means we get first dibs on food!" I yelled from where we were inside.

"You wish! We're you're guests!" Alex yelled at me as he walked up the aisle with everyone following.

We all went into the dinning hall that would soon be decorated for our wedding reception. There was a long table set up in the middle with lunch set out. We took our seats and dug in. I smiled as I watched my soon-to-be wife mingle with my friends and speak to my mother about the little details of the wedding. As the meal drew on and the laughter grew louder, I felt Mama's hand rest overtop of mine. I turned to look at her as she smiled, leaning forward.

"I think you picked a fantastic bride." Mama said

"So do I." I replied.
