Roses Diary [S.M]

Completely and utterly the one

*tip; listen the song; Turning Page by Sleeping at last. Before you read the chapter. It will bring you to tears. Xo, M.

"Deep breath, baby girl." my arm is intertwine with my dads. I squeezes his bicep tightly as we begin our walk.

"Don't let me fall, dad." I mumble as we walk down over the stone path and take the first step on the sand. In the distance I can see our families and friends gathered.

"Never sweetheart."- our eyes meet and without anything said, I feel the love. My dad and I always had a special relationship. I have always been a daddy's girl.

As we get closer, the piano player plays the first chords of 'Turning Page by Sleeping at last'.

I've waited a hundred years
But I'd wait a million more for you
Nothing prepared me for
What the privilege of being yours would do

Ryan O'Neil's beautiful voice blends perfectly with the sound of the waves.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, if you all can please rise for the bride." Our pastor, Rich Wilkerson announces.

All our friends and family stands up at once.

If I had only felt the warmth within your touch
If I had only seen how you smile when you blush
Or how you curl your lip when you concentrate enough
Well I would have known
What I was living for all along
What I've been living for

I hear a few gasps as I slowly walk down the aisle, clenched to my dad. I lift my eyes up from the ground and they automatically find Shawn's. And just like that, in a snapshot of a second, all my nerves are gone.

All my fears are replaced by an overwhelming feeling of pure love, as I see him, standing at the altar, looking as handsome as ever in his black tux, white shirt and a bow tie.

As I get closer, I see the tears welling up in his eyes. I squeezes my dad's bicep as I focus on Shawn's face as he takes a deep breath and swallows.

My own eyes well up as his hands cover his mouth as I get closer. Brian, who is Shawn's best man, pat Shawn on his back in comfort.

When we reach the altar, Shawn hands back Brian's handkerchief, he used to wipe his tears away.

I turn to my dad and give him a tight hug. "Thank you daddy."

"Always baby." He quickly kiss my cheek before he hands my hand over to Shawn.

"Take care of my little girl, son."

"I will." Shawn says as he barely can keep his eyes off me.

He takes my hand in his. "You look breathtaking." He says softly, as he looks down at me.

The pastor signs for everyone to be seated again.

"Ready?."- he asks me and Shawn with a little smile. Shawn and I glance at each other before we both nod.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in the sight of God, and in the presence of family and friends to join together this man and this woman in Holy Matrimony."

"In the years that Shawn and Rose have been together, their love and understanding of each other has grown and matured and now they have decided to continue their lives as husband and wife." I squeeze Shawn's hand at the mention of husband and wife. This is really happening.
