I kind of had this theme for my wedding: lavender meets heaven. So not too much lavender but enough to stand out. The planner was confused and Ashton didn't care. He just didn't want any green anywhere. Well, something had to be green like the trees: nature is green after all.Two Years Later—May... 2021
I looked at myself in the mirror one last time. I wore a v-neck spaghetti trapped lace-white mermaid-gown tailored to perfection, yet, it still had a draped look about it. The bottom part was decorated with Swarovski Diamonds and a mixture of lavender and white flowers sporadically about. The gown was extremely long. My hair was in a curly bun with lavender flowers place and a green one at the side of my head. "Aeon are you ready," Kevin said holding out his arm for me.
"Yeah," I said nervously, turning to take his hand.
"Just remember to breathe." He whispered.
"Thanks."
The venue was decorated beautifully, the walls were light purple with highlights of dark purple. Purple flowers draped down from the ceiling creating a massive chandelier, of lights and flowers. The curtains were all kinds of extravagant shades of purple. In slow motion, I walked down the aisle are-and-arm with my brother; the white and purple rose petals coated the floor, courtesy of my little cousin.
Many eyes watch me pass by my heart raced and my hands became sweaty; I could feel my social anxiety creeping up on me. My eyes fell on Ashton, who stood at the center of the room returning my gaze. I thought about everything we did together, all the missions we went on, the many times he displayed his love for me, not in words, but with action. The very first time, I saw Ashton at Club Lights, he was walking up the stairs and I couldn't get him out of my head — he saved my life that night. Everything brought me to this moment.
Ashton wore a white tuxedo with a single lavender flower in his pocket. This is really happening? I'm getting married to the man of my dreams. I never thought this would be my reality. It felt like a dream. His curly hair was comb-down, barely a single black strand slumped out as he smiled at me, brilliantly, and my nerves dissipated instantly.
I looked out at our families. Everyone smiled joyfully at us looking extravagant in their fancy dresses and tuxedos. My mother sat next to her boyfriend. They both smiled happily sending kisses my way. The groomsmen Bradley, Dante, and Troy Belmont; all wore beige suits. The bridesmaids including my cousins and little sister; all wore dark purple dresses. I looked at Bradley's baby girl and thought this could be Ashton and me someday soon.
"Well. Ms. Aeon Hall do you take Ashton to be your husband. The priest said bringing me back to reality.
"Well," Ashton teased softly.
"Of course, I do I love you!"
"And Ashton C. Belmont do you take Aeon Hall to be your wife to have and to hold until death do you part?"
With sparkling eyes and a little blush appearing on his cheeks for the very first time. He said, "I do."
"Then I now pronounce you, husband and wife: Mr. and Mis Belmont. You may kiss the bride." The crowd cheer and more lavender and white rose pelts fell from the ceiling. Asthon's electrifying kiss had me frozen-in-time nothing matter and I know he feels the same way.
We broke away and turned towards a happy crowd now standing and cheering. At the moment we were excited about everything and promised to fully support, respect, and love each other forever. This is the last chapter for you but a new chapter for us and we are excited about the future ahead, a future together.
