[37] "I Do."

***REWIND – CHAPTER 36 FROM KAIDEN'S PERSPECTIVE***

♥︎♡♥︎ KAIDEN PARKER ♡♥︎♡

{3:00 pm} THE MOMENT THE DOORS OPEN, I swear my heart jumps to my throat when I see my fiancé standing at the double entry doors, facing me with one of the biggest grins I have ever seen her show, her looking so breathtaking in her wedding gown and her makeup and hair all done. The entire audience is standing up and facing her. 'I can't believe that I'm actually marrying my best friend's sister today and by the time she goes to bed tonight she'll be my Mrs. Kaiden Trent Parker!' I thought as I mentally grin. Behind Dezerae, I notice a flash go off and my mental grin becomes wider. 'I can't wait to see that picture!' I thought. 'Can't Take My Eyes Off You' by: 'Lady Antebellum' plays as Trent walks her down the aisle. I watch silently as she walks down the aisle to me.

As I watch her, I start crying silent tears, my wide grin still on my face though. Once they make it to me, Dezerae's mom appears beside Trent. "Who here today gives this woman to this man?" the pastor, Antonio, asks as he smiles widely at them.

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

Pastor Antonio grins as Trent places Dezerae's hand in mine. Her mom goes to sit back down and Trent takes his position behind me. Dezerae and I stand in position and Pastor Antonio starts the ceremony. As he speaks, I lean a little closer to Dezerae. "You are so damn beautiful," I inform 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," she acknowledges back softly as she gives me a warm, kind smile.

I smirk mischievously at her.

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

I beam brightly at Pastor Antonio. I turn to Trent and her brother hands me a piece of folded up notebook paper. I unfold it and clear my throat. "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 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," she mutters faintly as a few tears roll down her 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," she mutters as she gives me a kind, gentle smile, tears rolling down her beautiful, angelic face.

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

She turns to Destiny and she hands her a piece of folded up notebook paper. She unfolds it and clears her 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."
