I missed Collins, we haven't seen each other since yesterday due to his bachelor party and my bachelorette party. Mrs Harris guarded the door to the room we were all getting dressed in, due to Chloe demanding she did so since it was 'bad luck' for Collins to see me before the wedding.
Eventually I got into my dress that fit me perfectly. My hair was straightened and put into a gorgeous updo and my makeup was done lightly. I finally slipped on my white heels and turned around.
The other girls all wore beige short dresses and beige flats. They all had their hair down in various styles but they still all looked beautiful.
"Wow, you all look amazing." I said as I admired my friends. "Today isn't about us, it's your day." Chloe said as she turned me to face the mirror and made quick touch ups to my hair.
"Ladies, it's time." We heard Mrs Harris say from outside the door. Suddenly butterflies erupted in my stomach and my heart began to race. Chloe noticed my nervousness and gave me a tight hug, "You got this." She said and I nodded.
Before I knew it I was stood before all my friends, family, Collins' friends and family, and all of their dates.
We were sitting in the middle of a beautiful grape vineyard, the sun was hidden behind clouds so it wasn't too hot but it was still bright.
Mr Harris was officiating the wedding, we listened to his voice drone on as we admired each other, a few tears still staining his face from when I walked down the aisle.
"You may kiss the bride." I finally heard Mr Harris say and of course, in classic Collins fashion, he wrapped his hands around my waist and dipped me and the crowd cheered as we kissed before he stood me back up and we laughed together. I began feeling rain sprinkle down and we looked at each other.
I'm sure most couples would have gotten mad or upset but instead we began laughing together and I put my arms around his neck and he wrapped his tightly around my waist and we kissed again as the rain began pouring down. My hair began falling out of its style and my dress was soaked, Collins slipped off his blazer and draped it over my shoulders.
Chloe began yelling at people to meet at the reception venue and people began running back to their cars. Soon we were the only ones still in the vineyard. We were surrounded by empty chairs and stood under the dripping alter. The rain was still pouring and thunder and lightning flashed and crashed around us, "I love you." He shouted over the thunder and I repeated it back to him as we stood in the storm, together.

***7 YEARS LATER***
"You're going to be late for your first day of school, Kaden Axel Harris." I scolded my son from the first floor of the mansion.
Collins and I moved into his childhood home after having our second son. He inherited the house from his late father, who passed away with Mrs Harris in a double homicide. They were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Chloe lived with Gavin just a few roads over with their daughter. Turns out she was pregnant at my wedding and didn't even know it, our kids were already the best of friends.
Axel passed away just a month prior to the birth of Kaden in a motorcycle crash which left behind his fiancée. Her and I keep in touch through social media but she moved out of town and went to Florida somewhere.
Kaden soon walked downstairs and his little brother followed him. "Come on, get some breakfast." I said as I rushed them into the kitchen. I helped them both sit down and gave them some scrambled eggs and toast, I was rushing around, my head was spinning while I tried to multitask.
I was rummaging through Kaden's book bag to make sure he had everything when a pair of hands snaked their way around my waist and I inhaled the calming scent of my husband's cologne.
"Relax." He mumbled in my ear as he gently placed sneaky kisses on my neck.
I took a deep breath and calmed down before turning around to face him. His hands stayed on waist as I threw my hands around his neck and I pecked his lips. The kids audibly gagged and we laughed, "You know, some day you'll appreciate how much we love each other." I said to the kids and they shook their heads. I checked the time and saw it was time for us to leave.
"Okay lets go, tell daddy bye." I said to the boys as they waved to their father before running out the door to the car. I grabbed their book bags and kissed Collins goodbye before loading the kids into their car seats and driving off.
We got to the school and I walked Kaden up to the doors where he saw Chloe's daughter and they ran inside and began playing together. I talked to Chloe for awhile before we said goodbye and I took my youngest son, James, back home with me where we began watching cartoons and hanging out for awhile.
A/N: I don't know how I feel about this ending it's so bittersweet :( I'm so happy the book is completed but at the same time I kinda never want it to end I also feel like it was kind of rushed and sudden but I had no motivation or ideas for this book anymore and I didn't want it to drag on and lose attention haha
