Forever Yours [Series Two of Bittersweet Disasters]

[36] "I Do."

♥︎♡♥︎ DEZERAE ALLOCCO ♡♥︎♡

{3:00 pm} THE MOMENT THE DOORS OPEN, I swear my heart jumps to my throat when I see my fiancé standing there, facing me with one of the biggest grins I have ever seen him show, him looking so hot in his tuxedo with his hair spiked into a Mohawk. The entire audience is standing up and facing me. 'I can't believe that I'm actually marrying my brother's best friend today and by the time I go to bed tonight I'll be Mrs. Kaiden Trent Parker!' I thought as I mentally grin. Behind me, I hear a camera snap a couple of times and my mental grin becomes wider. 'That picture is going to be amazing!' I thought. 'Can't Take My Eyes Off You' by: 'Lady Antebellum' plays as Trent walks me down the aisle. I look over at my mom and Kaycie and realize they're both crying, tissues in their hands as they dab their tears away. I also notice a guy I've never met before is standing beside my mom and he's smiling politely at me as he holds my mom's hand. 'That must be my new, wealthy stepdad Mama was telling me about' I thought. 'I'm so happy for my mom.'

Taking a deep breath, I turn my undivided attention back to Kaiden and realize he's crying too; his wide grin still in his face though. We finally make it down to the end of the aisle and my mom appears beside Trent. "Who here today gives this woman to this man?" the pastor, Antonio, asks as he smiles widely at us.

"Her mother and me," Trent replies, gesturing between the two of them and smiling.

Pastor Antonio grins as Trent places my hand in Kaiden's. My mom goes to sit back down and Trent takes his position behind his best friend. Kaiden and I stand in position and Pastor Antonio starts the ceremony. As he speaks, Kaiden leans in a little closer to me. "You are so damn beautiful," he informs softly. "I am beyond ecstatic to be marrying you and making you mine today."

"Kaiden, I was yours the second you asked to dance with me at your party five years ago," I acknowledge back softly as I give him a warm, kind smile.

Kaiden smirks mischievously at me.

After a few minutes, Pastor Antonio stops talking and turns to Kaiden. "Kaiden, you told me that instead of doing the traditional vows, you and Dezerae have your own personal vows. You may proceed."

Kaiden beams brightly at Pastor Antonio. He turns to Trent and my brother hands him a piece of folded up notebook paper. Kaiden unfolds it and clears his throat. "The day that I have been looking forward to since I purchased the engagement ring is finally here. Not only am I marrying the girl that captivated my heart more than two decades ago, but I'm also marrying my best friend's little sister and my best friend is becoming my brother-in-law. Thank you for blessing me with not just one, but two amazing sons and I honestly can't wait to make more beautiful, gorgeous, badass, awesome babies with you. These past five years with you have been such a challenge, from the horrible, awful nightmare we went through when we first got together to us being put in rehab together to my two-year absence while you were carrying our second baby boy. I am so sorry for all the shit I've put you through and from this day forward, I promise to encourage, help, hold and love you no matter what. Dezerae Isabelle Allocco, I am so freaking beyond lucky to be marrying you today and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you.  .  ."

"Kaiden," I mutter faintly as a few tears roll down my face.

".  .  .Dezerae Isabelle Allocco, I am so in love with you and I am beyond psyched to be marrying you today."

"Kaiden, that was so sweet," I mutter as I give him a kind, gentle smile, tears rolling down my beautiful, angelic face.

"Dezerae, it's your turn," Pastor Antonio replies, turning to me.

I turn to Destiny and she hands me a piece of folded up notebook paper. I unfold it and clear my throat. "The day that I have honestly been looking forward to since I was, like, five has finally arrived. I remember when I was little how I would take a white dress from my closet and a white pillowcase and put it on as my veil and pretend like I was getting married. Trent was an amazing pretend groom. It always cracked me up seeing him in dress pants that were a bit too small for his long legs. I honestly can't believe that those pretend weddings I used to have when I was little is actually coming true today. Not only am I marrying the man who captivated my heart more than five years ago, but I'm also marrying my brother's best friend. Thank you for not only giving me one but two beautiful, gorgeous baby boys and thank you for choosing me to be the one to carry them for nine months. Childbirth is no joke and it effing sucks, but I wouldn't want it anything other way. I honestly can't wait to carry more of your children and deliver them. These past five years with you have been such a challenge, from the horrible, awful nightmare we went through when we first got together to us being put in rehab together to your two-year absence while I was carrying our second baby boy. In all honesty, we both have messed up pasts and our relationship these past five years have been extremely difficult and challenging, but I wouldn't have wanted to spend these past five years with anyone else. From this day forward, I promise to encourage, help, hold, and love you no matter what. Kaiden, I am so freaking beyond lucky to be marrying you today and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you. Kaiden Trent Parker, I am so in love with you and I am beyond psyched to be marrying you today."
