I slid on the dress and put on my heels. I smoothed the front of the dress as I looked at myself in the mirror. I actually looked good and felt good.

"Paisley, Ethan is here!" I heard my mom call from downstairs. Ethan and I were going together and he was picking me up.

I walked downstairs and seen my family dressed up-Dad and Keaton in tuxes and Mom in a dress. I had a gorgeous family, not even lying.

I opened the front door and seen Ethan. He was wearing a tuxedo too. He was chewing gum and he smiled. "You look stunning, P."

"You look stunning too." I pulled him in and kissed him softly. He kissed back. I glanced behind me and seen everyone watching but quickly look away when I caught them staring. I laughed.

"You ready to go?" He asked. It was nearing sundown so it was gradually getting darker. I nodded.

I turned to my family. "I'll see you guys at the wedding." I told them. They nodded and I stepped out of the house, shutting the door behind me.

I climbed into Ethan's Jeep on the passenger side. Ethan got into the driver's. "You look so fucking hot."

I blushed. He was definitely feeling some type of way. I bit my lip and laughed. "But look at you, E."

"If I could rip that dress off you right now, you should know that I would." I told me. I pulled him in and kissed him.

We both pulled away at the same time and he began driving. He placed his hand on my thigh and I placed my hand on top of his. I loved him so much.

I flicked on the radio and it played Exchange by Bryson Tiller. I smiled at Ethan as it began and I sung along. "This what happens when I think about you. I get in my feelings, yeah, I start reminiscing, yeah."

He laughed and started singing as well. "Next time around, fuck I want it to be different, yeah. Waiting on a sign, guess it's time for a different prayer. Lord please save her for me, do this one favor for me."

I started singing again, it was like my own solo this time. "I had to change my play of ways, got way too complicated for me. I hope she's waiting for me. Everywhere she go, they're playing my song, that's why I say the things that I say that way I know you can't ignore me."

Ethan grabbed at my hand and sung. "So give me all of you in exchange for me. Just give me all of you in exchange for me, for me."

We both had quit singing as he pulled into the parking lot of the chapel. "You nervous?" I asked him. He had sweaty palms.

He found a place to park and shut off the car. He let go of my hand. "A bit, yeah." He admitted. I sighed.

"My family is amazing, I promise. Tonight will be good." I assured him. He nodded and kissed my forehead.

We hopped out of his car and walked in the chapel together. I seen my grandma approach me. "Paisley! Hi!"

She pulled me in tightly and squeezed me. She was the sweetest. "Hey, Grams," I replied. She kissed my cheek and glanced over at Ethan.

"Ohh, you must be a plus-one?" She asked. I nodded and Ethan smiled. "I'm Edna, but everyone calls me Grams."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Ethan." He responded. My grandma smiled.

"It's a pleasure to meet you too, Ethan." She told him. Grandma turned to me, "Keaton and your parents coming?"

"Yeah, I rode with Ethan. They should be here soon." She nodded and she sat down in a pew. I heard tiny footsteps, then a tiny voice.
