Paisli sits in her vanity shaking in her bridal robe. Her hair was still in curlers and her make was done but she was stuck in her vanity chair. She locked everyone out of her vanity room as the women all got dressed around her and she sat in pure silence. Paisli thought she was ready for this moment until the hours counted down and she nearly lost her fucking mind.
"I can't do this. I can't get married. I'm not ready, I can't be nobody wife. I can barely be my kids mother. Who am I kidding? I didn't have my parents, their marriage wasn't successful, why would mine be? There's always some bullshit going on to where someone is near death and who knows how long I really got with my family because Rubi is still out there. I just don't need to put him through with this. We can still be together? Right? Just not married" She stares at her knowing everything she just said was utter bullshit. "Oh my sweet jesus of mary and joseph, I'm in idiot" "A beautiful idiot". Paisli jumps not expecting anybody to be in here but she remembers Zane picks locks.
"Zane you're not suppose to be up here"
"Actually I am, had to make sure my bride don't run off on me. Had me standing out there for a half hour"
"I'm sorry Zane. Really I.."
"I get it you're scared. But you had me scared as shit out there P. I'm scared too."
"You are?"
"Yes, you think you're the only one who's scared? Has doubts? Thinks shit just gone end badly because of what we're used to seeing? No babe you're not. The difference between you and I right now is I know our love will conquer all of that"
"I believe it will too"
"Then take this step with me P. I got you for life. I didn't just write these pussy ass vows for you to chicken out. I thought you were the tough one?"
"Nigga don't talk shit to me. Let me put this dress on so you stop talking shit. I'll see you down there."
"That's my baby"
Zane left and Paisli let Jasmine in to help her in her dress.Zane stands back at the aisle.
"Everything good?"
"Yeah everything's fine"
The pianist started playing a soft melody of Paisli and Zanes favorite songs in a harmonious mash up. Paisli comes from behind the guests and nearly stole Zanes breath. He's seen Paisli in lounge wear, regular outside wear, business, classy every which way possible but he couldn't believe why in this very moment Paisli looked absolutely stunning. The sun shined on her as all eyes were on her and made Zane hands sweat. He's really doing this. The closer she got the more his heart started to pump. Paisli heart was coming out of her ass she was shaking holding her flowers. She didn't want a vail so her hair was in a beautiful updo with expensive clips with a clip in train vail. The closer she got to Zane her eyes started to water. She can't cry right now. She doesn't want to cry.
"Who gives this women away to be married to this man?" Jordan looks at Zane then Paisli. "I do, better take care of my babygirl Zane." "Don't gotta question that." Jordan takes his seat next to Paula after kissing Paisli forehead. Paula is already tearing up."We are gathered here today to bless and witness the union of Zane Stokes and Paisli Brooks. The love amongst these two young people is heavy as I even feel it. This is a powerful love, a love that deserves to be secured with a marriage. Let us begin"
After the normal sermon about marriage. Paisli and Zane are ready to read their vows. (Get the tissues)
"Zane you can go first." The pastor says. He nods going in his suit pocket opening the paper before grabbing Paisli's hand again. His heart is beating so hard Paisli could even hear it. It made hers beat harder.
"Paisli, P, LeeLee, my juicy butt-" Paisli laughs as do everyone else. "You are everything. As I sit here and write this there's so many things I could say about you. You're fearless, you're strong, you're resilient, you're indecisive, you're confidence exceeds all, you're beautiful, stunning, angelic and soft and i'm not talking just about your face. Your soul is what wrapped me all up in you. You've been through things unimaginable, you thought you were used up and worthless but you're worth everything in this world. Your love gets me out of bed in the morning, gets me through the day and reminds me what I lose not making it home at night. You changed me, taught me how to be a friend, a companion, a person with feelings, made me into a father and now a husband. I promise to love every part of you, happy sad angry frustrated. Sick and old, young and vibrant. Pregnant and swole, messy and stinky. You are the love of my life Paisli Brooks, if nobody ever got you. I do. No matter what. You're my bestfriend, my person, you are me. I can't wait to spend every waking moment with you.
