Tired Days

33

*Don't play the song until the note*
Kian's POV
Oh. My. God.
I'm getting married, this is so surreal. I never thought I would find someone that loves me enough to want to spend the rest of our lives together.
  I look in the mirror infront of me and start to adjust everything. I straighten out my jacket, then my tie, then my pants. Before I could sit down and retie my shoes, my mother and father walk in the room. I stand up and they both gasp.
  "Oh Kian, baby, I can't believe the day has come, you are actually getting married", my mother says, her voice beginning to crack. My dad steps forward and pulls me in for a hug. "Kian I want you to treat this girl right, she is the sweetest girl I have ever met and she is baring your children. Don't let her go" I nod against my dad's shoulder and feel myself start to tear up. I mean obviously he's right. Mady is the best thing that could have ever happened to me. We met when we were young and goodness, I just never saw us getting here. It's crazy.
  Madelynn's Point Of View
I look at myself in the vanity mirror and it's like looking at a completely different person. This is Mady, she's a mom of 1 almost 3, she's marrying the love of her life. Not 17 year old Madelynn falling in love with a boy moving across the country. My mother walks up behind me and wraps her arms around my neck. "Madelynn, you look absolutely stunning". I feel my eyes start to well up, "Thank you momma, that means the world to me" I look up at her and smile. "Where's Adley?" I ask, wanting to see her in her little flower girls dress. Sabrina will be pulling her down the aisle in a cute little decorated wagon. My mom walks over to the door and disappears for a few seconds and comes back with my daughter. I turn around in the chair and hold my arms out. By now she's starting to 'talk' a little more. Little made up words. When my mom hands her to me, Adley squeals and throws her arms all over the place. I giggle at the action and kiss her cheek very lightly. "I love you so much baby, now, go see Dada"
  I hand her to my mom, "Would you mind taking her to see Kian, I know he would just love to see her in her little dress. He was so excited at the store when we picked it out."
  She walks over to me and kisses the top of my head, "Of course baby, and I'll be back before the wedding to walk you okay?"
  I nod, afraid that if I talk I might cry. The hormones are hitting me hard today,  along with the fact that I'm getting married.
  I turn back and face the Vanity, touching up my makeup from a tear that escaped.
  Kian's Point Of View
I turn away from the mirror when I hear a knock on the door. I walk over and open it, to be greeted by my soon to be mother in law and my daughter. "Oh my goodness Addy you are absolutely beautiful" I take her out of her Grandmas arms and spin her around. "My goodness love you are getting so big" I speak in my baby voice to her. "And you're about to have two little brothers and God, we are so lucky." A couple tears escape my eyes. I hand her back to Mady's mom and soon enough my groomsmen come walking down the hallway. They all hug me and congratulate me before entering the room to get ready.
  Madelynn's Point of View
I walk over to my door and open it to find my maid of honor. "K you look stunning" "Madelynn do not make me cry or we will have to push this wedding back several hours" I chuckle at her response and pull her in for a hug. "So Mady, I see your not in your dress, why?"
  "I don't want to get it dirty."
  "Madelynn, hon, you walk down the aisle in 30 minutes, it's going to take 30 minutes to get the undergarments and the dress on you because of that 6 month bump you got going on."
  I look down at my stomach at at the mention of them, the twins move around a bit. They are starting to get cramped in there.
  "Fine!"
Kara calls my mom and my two other bridesmaids in here, Franny and Nezza. My mom sits Adley in the pack n play and Kara sits Kayden and Sabrina next to her. Kayden is going to be the ring bearer.
My mom grabs my dress from the bathroom and Kara calls out to Kayden "Kade get mommy's bag please?" He stands up and toddles over with Kara's backpack which for some reason has my underwear and everything in it.
Franny and Nezza both grab their own dresses and head back to their rooms to change, not before wishing my mom and Kara luck on getting the dress on me.
Kara tells the twins to turn around, as it would be weird to tell just Kayden to turn around. Carefully but efficiently, my mother and Kara get everything in me with a few minutes to spare. We touch up my hair and then begin to get ready to leave.
"Kara, Call Ashton and ask if Kian is out there yet. He can't see me in my dress."
*start song*
She calls to make sure and soon confirms that he is there and ready.
We get in our formation. Kara and Jc, Bobby and Fran, Nezza and Corey, Kayden, then Sabrina and Adley. And finally me and my mom. I hear the song start and we start the walk. Before I know it, it's my turn to walk. I look over at my mom and she squeezes my arm. "I love you momma," I whisper to her before we start down the aisle.
We slowly make our way down the aisle. When Kian comes into view it sends tears to my eyes.
Kian's Point Of View
I look down the aisle as everyone else walks out and they look amazing. When Sabrina and Addy came down the aisle I started to tear up. It took me a second to realize that Mady and her mom would be coming down the aisle next. Before I had time to think everyone stood up and down came Mady. She looked like an angel from the Heavens. I start crying not being able to control myself. I'm marrying the love of my life. I see a couple tears run down her own face. Her mom brings her to the altar and I meet her at the steps.
Mady's Point of View
"I love you too baby girl" my mom whispers to me before handing me of to Kian. He smiles at me and I am see the tears stains and tears on his face. We both bring our hands up at the same time to wipe each other's tears away. The guests laugh quietly at the actions. I wrap my arm in his and we make our way up the stairs.
The pastor starts, "Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to celebrate these two souls coming together and becoming one. I've known Madelynn since she was a little girl and I can feel that there is no one better for her but this loving, caring man in front of her today.
"Madelynn and Kian, the relationship you enter into today must be grounded in the strength of your love and the power of your faith in each other. To make your relationship succeed it will take unending love. It will take trust, to know in your hearts that you truly want what is best for one another and to learn and grow together. It will take faith, to go forward together without knowing what the future holds. If you both come freely, and understand the responsibility and work involved to make your relationship thrive, and are committed to not only each other but your family, please take each other by the hands and reply 'we do.'"
Kian grabs my hand and squeezes as we both say 'we do'.
"I believe the couple has prepared their own vows today, so now they will recite them"
I turn back to Kara and she hands me my paper that has my vows written on it.
Kian's Point Of View
Madelynn turns back towards me and smiles, then looks towards the guests and says "This is a little long because I love this man so much but hang in there I promise it's not boring" I can't believe she apologized to the guests at her own wedding in case her vows were too boring. I love this woman.
"Kian we have known each other since the beginning of high school. You have always been my bestfriend whether you accepted it or not. And you've always been like a son to my mother. I remember how heartbroken I was when you moved to California, my one true love chose his career over me and I didn't know what to do. Well then fate brought us together after I had started College at UofC and we ran into each other again. I want sure what to do at the time, still upset that you had left me. Well turns out accepting that one date changed my life forever. We had a rough relationship, including our miscarriage. That was really rough, but I know it happened for a reason. If it hadn't I wouldn't have moved to San Francisco and realized that I needed you and we wouldn't have gotten back together and made our wonderful baby girl." She stopped for a second and wiped a tear away. "And when you proposed to me I was beyond happy. We had Adley and she was our little miracle. Everything we had went into taking care of our creation. And then shortly after I was blessed with another pregnancy, as we can all see" she chuckled at her own joke and so did the guests. I smiled and reached out to touch her belly. I felt the twins move at the mention of themselves.
"I thought it was just one baby but we have been blessed with another one on top of that. And I have been rambling forever." She hand the paper back to Kara and grabs both of my hands and looks me in the eye. "The whole Point of that was, Kian I love you and I always have and I always will. You are the best father and soon to be husband I could ever ask for. And you know that I will love you forever and ever and ever baby. We've had our ups and downs but it all lead to the biggest up ever, where we are now." I bring a hand up to wipe away a tear or two and resist the urge to kiss her then and there.
"Kian your turn," the minister announces.
"Madelynn I love you. I didn't write out my vows and figured I could just do it on the spot. Seeing you walk down that aisle and even apologize to your own guest for your lengthy vows has opened up yet another door of my love for you. From our love we have made 4 children. Not all of which made it to this world. We loved that baby so much even only knowing it for a few months. But what I loved most was that you loved that baby with everything you had. You were ready to work your whole life around this one baby. And that made me realize how much I really loved you. When you told me you were pregnant with Adley I knew we had our second chance. Mady I don't think you realize how much I really do love you. You are the sunshine on my darkest days, my laughter when I can't bother to smile, my motivation when I feel like doing nothing. I don't think I could make it through life without you. I love you Madelynn Williams and can not wait for you to be a Lawley, just like our children."
The minister called for the rings and handed us each the others. "Now Kian repeat after me, with this I promise to stand with you as we share this life and cherish memories we make together." I repeat and slip Mady's ring onto her finger. Then she does the same thing and places my ring on my finger. "With these rings now on your fingers and the promises you have made to each other, Kian Lawley do you take Madelynn as your lawfully wedded wife, to love and keep, through sickness and through health, through richer and poorer. And any hardships that may come to this relationship." I look her into the eyes. "I do"
Madelynn's Point Of View
"Madelynn Williams do you take Kian to be your lawfully wedded husband to love and keep, and through sickness health through richer and poorer and any hardships that may come to this relationship?"
I squeeze my almost husbands hand, "I do"
"By the power vested in me by the state of Iowa and through our Holy Father, I know pronounce you Man and Wife. You may kiss your bride."
The minister steps back just as Kian steps forward and pulls me toward him. Our lips connect and I feel the same as I did 8 years ago. We part and turn towards the guests. We walk down the aisle hand in hand.
We walk out the doors of the Church and head to the place where the reception is being held. We put an hour between the time of the reception and ceremony so that we could have time to ourselves. We walk through the doors and the place is so beautifully decorated. Kian leads me to the dance floor and we have our first dance as husband and wife to "Hey Pretty Girl" by Kip Moore.
"Kian I love you so much. You know that right" he chuckle and responds "If I am still questioning my love after 3 kids and a wedding there is something wrong." I smack his arm as we sway back and forth. "Yes Mady I know you love me and you know I love you" I lean down and kiss her. We stop dancing for a few seconds to enjoy the kiss without a room full of people watching.

*couple of hours later*
It's time for the toast from the wedding party. The Maid of Honor goes first.
"When I met Mady all those years ago inside a coffee shop I was terrified, I though she was going to hit me, and only because it was my first time in LA and I was tuck on stereotypes. Obviously I was wrong and she said it was all good. Later we met again at my own house, after learning that Kian, her boyfriend at the time, lived next door. We became close very fast. Through all the heartbreak in this relationship I knew they were made for each other. You could seen Kian's devotion to Mady in his eyes and you could feel M's love for Kian radiating off of her. I've never seen two people more in love then these to. To the happy couple."
Then Jc stood up "When Kian and I moved to LA together to start YouTube, he wasn't in his best shape. His girlfriend had just broken up with him,mhm, and he was till in love. He never stopped talking about her. Even when he would be with other girls, he would always end up ending things because they weren't Mady. When she came back into his life, our Kian was back. I didn't realize her impact on him until she was with him. Smiles all the time. He loves you Mady, we can all see it and I know you know it. To two people who couldn't be better for one another."
Franny, Nezza, Bob, and Corey all made short speeches and then my mother.
"Madelynn and Kian. I knew from the moment Mady came home in her 9th grade year and was gushing about "the cute boy in her class" that it was more than a crush. She talked about him with so much love in her voice, talked about his personality and the way he treated people and his respect. They dated all through our high school, I had never seen my babygirl more happy, and Kian was like a son to me. Then he moved away and boy was I ready to beat him. I sent Mady to college in California, knowing he was there and knowing the college was close to where he lived. When she came back with him after a couple years, I wasn't surprised. They had their hardships. Then there was one time they came to visit me that made me so sure that they were going to get married. They had just flown in from New York and had come to see me. He was so caring with her and so nice to her brother and me. I had made dinner and she was telling me how she was falling in love. I told her "Sweets he is already in love with you. I can see it." She just shook her head and smiled. And now here we are. I love you both so much and I'm so happy you joined our family son"
  I cried at my moms speech, having forgot about that night that we stopped to visit. She stood up again and asked for attention. "I forgot to mention, Mady at some point that night had gone out to collect the boys for dinner. Well Tyler came in, then Mady and Kian were not behind him. They came in after a few seconds, both with bright red cheeks and almost holding hands. They tried to hide it but I knew at that moment that the movement of Mady and Kian was on the go"
  We all laughed and I shook my head. We spent the rest of the night celebrating with Family and friends.
