Carter's pov:
I sat in the house, getting ready with Brynn and my sisters. I put on my dress that had a lace top with a long pink skirt bottom, as my curling iron heated up. Sosi came up behind me, zipping up the back of my dress. I sat down in the chair, having her curl my hair. About 30 minutes later, it was time for the wedding to start. The groomsmen and my bridesmaids lined up, as I stood at the back with Benjamin, my brother. The groomsmen and bridesmaids walked in, before the music started and everybody turned around. Benjamin slowly walked me down the aisle, pressing a kiss to my cheek, as I stood in front of Aiden. His beautiful ocean blue eyes filled with tears. He quickly wiped them with his hand, before mouthing that I looked beautiful and smiling.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the presence of these witnesses, to join Carter Ruby Rae and Aiden Troy Hall in matrimony commenced to be honorable among all, but reverently passionately, lovingly, and solemnly. Into this these two persons present now come to be joined. If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together- let them speak now or forever hold their peace," the preacher said.

"I, Carter Ruby Rae take you Aiden Troy Hall to be my husband because I was drawn to you from the day we met. Your warm and inviting eyes and your magnetic smile softened my touch facade immediately. I remember want to have, and sometimes make, reasons to talk to you. To see you beam that amazing smile back at me, immediately putting me at ease and brightening my day. I love that we started out as friends. That's my favorite part. You truly saw me. You understand me, accept me, in a way no one else has, in a way that I believe no one else can. You are my best friend... I'm so grateful for our special brand of weird. To me, it means more than just being silly. It signifies a special, profound, unfettered love for each other. It's loving each other at our most intimate, vulnerable times. It colors our tapestry with yet unnamed, exotic colors, known only to the two of us," I said, putting the gold band on his left ring finger.

Aiden's pov:
I stood in front of my gorgeous soon to be wife. Let me tell you, she looked so beautiful. I was one lucky man.

"I, Aiden Troy Hall take you Carter Ruby Rae to be my wife because from this moment, I take you as my best friend for life. I pledge to honor, encourage, and support you through our walk together. When our way becomes difficult, I promise to stand by you and uplift you so that through our union we can accomplish more than we could alone. I promise to work at our love and always make you a priority in my life. With every beat of my heart, I will love you," I said, placing the gold band that had a diamond on it onto her left ring finger.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride," the preacher said, before we kissed.

Carter and I were currently at the airport, waiting for our plane to Amsterdam. Carter was now wearing a shirt from our last trip to Disney and a pair of grey shorts.  Once we got onto the plane, Carter immediately fell asleep, probably because she was tired. I took the scrunchie that she had put into her hair out, placing it onto my right wrist. She gently placed her head onto my shoulder, as I texted my mom that we were on the plane. I couldn't believe that I was actually married to the love of my life now. I quietly took a picture of Carter sleeping, making sure not to wake her up. I placed a kiss gently onto her forehead, before falling asleep myself.

Megan's pov:
Sydney and I were currently out shopping, since next month she'll be going into preschool. I took the supply list that the school Joe and I enrolled her in gave me out of my purse, unfolding it. We started off in the backpack aisle, looking through all of the small bags. Sydney ended up deciding on a small black floral bag that had 2 pockets. I checked it off of the list, before we went into the pencil aisle. While down that aisle, I also picked up the 1 folder that she needed. After we picked up all of the supplies she would need, I paid for them, before we drove over to Justice to get her some new clothes. We walked in, going to the area where they kept the clothes, sifting through them.

Adaline's pov:
Magnolia, Lily-Ella, and I were currently in the backyard, sitting on the patio, as my dad grilled some hamburgers and hotdogs. Lily-Ella was asleep against my chest, as I sat in my chair. When my dad finished grilling the food, I took the baby into the house, putting her down for a nap, after I fed her. I went back to the kitchen, getting my food, before going into the living room to watch tv with my dad and my wife.

About 2 hours later, it was time for Magnolia, Lily-Ella, and I to go home. I took Lily-Ella out of the crib that my dad had in my old room for her, carrying her out to the living room. My dad kissed us goodbye, before we went out to Magnolia's car. I placed the baby into her car seat, getting into the passenger seat. When we got home, Magnolia took the baby upstairs, changing her diaper, before putting her down for the night.

Kayla's pov:
This week, I was babysitting my granddaughters, since my daughter and her husband were away. The girls woke up at around 9 ó clock, and I fed them waffles with whipped cream and caramel syrup on top. After they finished, I had them go change out of their pajamas, since I was taking them out for a girls day. I brushed each girls hair, before French braiding it. I grabbed my keys and purse, before the 3 of us left my house. On today's agenda, I was taking the twins to get donuts, get their nails done, and then taking them school shopping. I pulled out of my driveway, driving to the local Krispy Kreme Donuts. I drove to the drive thru box, ordering 3 cake batter donuts. I drove to the pickup window, taking my card out of my purse, handing it to the cashier.

The girls and I were finished with the first part of our day. Isabella had gotten her nails blue, while Sophia had gotten hers a light pink color. We picked up the supplies that they would need for school, separating them once we came home. I then took the girls out to lunch at Chile's, where we all ordered burgers.
