Till Death Do Us Part

Epilogue - Till Death Do Us Part

**Well, here it is folks; the last chapter of this book! To all of you who stuck around through the thick and thin and kept rooting for Jedrek and Roxie, thank you :). Reading all your comments as an author and hearing your thoughts is really what keeps me going. I love you all so much!! 

For those wondering, I DO PLAN TO MAKE THIS A SERIES. I was planning on exploring our wonderful gal Samantha next  - however, that wouldn't be for a while (at least until well into this summer). Either way, stick around with me, there's fun things coming! Enjoy this last chapter!**

Roxie's POV

"Ready to see the blushing bride, ladies?" Miranda asked the room as I stood right outside. They all had their hands over their eyes waiting to see me as they yelled their impatience. I walked in and gave Jedrek's mom a single nod.

"Okay, open them, ladies," she commanded. I swear my eardrums were going to rupture from their piercing screams, but my face morphed from nervousness to happiness as my bridesmaids surrounded me and showered me with words of praise.

"You're the most beautiful bride!" Ivy insisted, tears gathering in her eyes as she spoke. I hugged her tightly, mindful of her big belly.

"Alright, they're all ready and waiting-" Jedrek's dad started to say but stopped the minute his eyes landed on me.

"Oh, Roxie," he sighed. I bit the inside of my cheek to keep from choking up as he pulled me into a warm embrace. "You are the most beautiful bride I've ever laid my eyes on. My son is the luckiest man," he murmured in my ear. I thanked him quietly before pressing a kiss to his cheek.

"Shall we?" he asked, gesturing his arm out for me to grab onto. I nodded and accepted the offer, allowing my bridesmaids and maid of honor to exit the room first. They all paired with their partners in the hall right outside the church doors. The doors opened and they made their way into the room one by one followed by the ring bearer. Miranda set Adelaide down on the ground and handed her the basket with flower petals. I could've cried at how cute she looked in her dress that matched mine. Being one-year-old now, she was able to walk just fine, but Miranda was right next to her just in case. The bridal march finally started up and my heart began pounding in my chest as I released a choppy breath of air.

Colton gave me one last look to which I nodded with an excited smile. We took a couple of steps forward until I was standing at the entrance of the doorway. Jedrek and I locked gazes and my eyes instantly grew watery. Seeing him standing there with our little girl in his arms next to the pastor, waiting for me to make my way to him, gave me a feeling like nothing else in this world. The closer I got, the more I could see the glistening tear tracks on Jedrek's face. I was a ball of emotions as Jedrek set Addie back down onto her feet - much to her chagrin - as I handed my bouquet of flowers to Khloe and took his hands in his own. Addie didn't budge no matter how much Miranda tried - she was insistent on remaining right by Jedrek and me, one hand clutching at the skirt of the beautiful dress Sam designed for me while the other tightly held the material of Jedrek's suit pants.

The ceremony seemed to fly by and the next thing I knew, it was time for our vows.

"Do you, Jedrek Chamberlain, take Roxanne Robinson to be your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?" the pastor asked.

"I do," Jedrek stated confidently.

"Do you, Roxanne Robinson, take Jedrek Chamberlain to be your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?" the pastor repeated.
