Always

Chapter 137

The face though...I reached my hand up to my face while the girl in the mirror repeated the action. Devyn slapped my hand down quickly. "Don't touch." I didn't reply but continued to stare. Her face was flawless, perfect complexion, rosy cheeks, dewy pale petal colored lip, and the eyes! They were darkened, making them seem bigger, the color standing out against the skin. Lashes, and brows done perfectly, with a small wing sticking out on the side. "Is that me?" I was actually amazed. The girl in the mirror was absolutely gorgeous. That couldn't be me. "Dev, you are a miracle worker!" I breathed out. "No, I'm not. You just gave me the perfect canvas to work with babe." My mom walked in then, and stopped in her tracks, Serena directly behind her almost running into her. She put her hand over her mouth while Serena's mouth dropped open. I almost laughed. "You look absolutely beautiful." My mom breathed out. S just nodded, actually speechless for once in her life. Tara popped into tent, letting the flap fall behind her. "Y/n..." She sighed. "You're beautiful." I smiled at her. "You too." She blushed a little and did a little spin in her bridesmaid dress. "You all do. You all look so amazing. Especially you Momma." My mother was dressed in a dress the same color as the girls, but longer, with a matching jacket over the top. Dev and Kat had helped with her hair and makeup so that she was glowing. She blushed and leaned over to hug me, both of us careful not to muss anything. "Oh, you guys!" Tara exclaimed. "I was told to come get you. It's time." "Oh God, really?" I asked, my stomach doing flips. I pressed my hand to it, trying to steady myself, and felt the now familiar bump. It calmed me, and I smiled. "Where's Elton? I'm ready." "Right outside the tent, ready to walk you to the area." Tara replied. The tent was placed behind a huge rock, so that it was semi private. The decor included a long sheer curtain type thing that would cover me, until it was time to walk down the "aisle." Serena had truly thought of everything. "Okay, let's do this." We walked out of the tent, and I found Elton waiting for me. "The other guys are behind the curtain, waiting on you gorgeous ladies." He said to the other girls, smiling. He looked quite handsome in his black suit and blue tie. I had never seen him all dressed up like this. "You clean up nice!" I exclaimed. He blushed a little, grinning bashfully. "Don't sound so surprised." He replied. I laughed and took his arm, as we followed the other girls. Kevin came around the side of the curtain and took my mom by the arm. "First, you look stunning, and second, I'm going to show this young lady to her seat." My mom blushed, and she followed Kevin to her seat. Sam, Brennen, Jake, and Corey were all standing at the curtain, looking extremely handsome in their matching suits. Breathtaking really. Sam and Serena were at the front, since they were best man and maid of honor, followed by Kat and Brennen, then Corey and Devyn, then Jake and Tara bringing up the rear. "You ready?" Elton asked me, rubbing my arm as we took our place behind the curtain. I nodded and took a deep breath. The curtain was drawn back and I started my slow descent down the white carpet that was rolled out to the front. I took my surroundings, the padded white chairs with the baby blue ribbons that matched my dress tied on the back of them, filled with all of our friends and family. I saw several people filming, so I knew this would end up on YouTube. The sun was setting now, giving the beach a purple pink glow, the blue and white fairy lights illuminating the walk way, and encircling the entire wedding area. I met the gazes of my friends and Colby's family, smiles on all of their faces, as I walked by them. Looking towards the front, the light wooden gazebo was covered in blue forget me nots, with white roses scattered throughout them. Colby was standing inside of it, and I didn't notice anything else. Only him. His blue eyes that matched the surroundings, burning brightly under the fairy lights, staring straight into my own, his mouth open slightly in what I thought was shock or amazement. My steps got faster, and I heard Elton chuckle as he tried to keep me in time with the music, pulling slightly on my arm. Colby looked absolutely breathtaking in his 3 piece suit, the blue vest and tie, matching the Boutonniere Forget me Not on his lapel, making his eyes burn even brighter. It seemed like to took forever, every slow step torturous as I moved closer to him but not quite reaching him. Finally, it was time. We stepped forwards and Colby stepped down, beaming at me. I had eyes only for him. "Who gives this woman to this man?" The minister asked. "I do." Elton replied. He took my hand and placed it in Colby's, in a tradition that meant so very much to me. "Take care of her." Elton said, fulfilling the role that he was asked to play, and kissed my cheek before he took his seat. Colby and I stepped up onto the platform in front of the minister. He greeted the guests and read a scripture from the Bible about love. "Let all that you do be done in Love." The minister raised his hands out to us. "Now our couple has requested to read their own vows. Who would like to start?" I cleared my throat, anxiety raising it's ugly head just a little. I had memorized my vows, not wanting to be staring at a piece of paper while I spilled my heart out to the man I love. I met Cobly's gaze, and my anxiety calmed.
