Pregnant and Homeless✔

Chapter 37

Every little girl has a dream of what she wanted her wedding to be like. Beautifully decorated chapel with hand-picked roses at the end of each seated aisle. A white ball gown wedding dress with white laced flowered heels. Her hair and makeup, done to perfection. That's exactly what I got.

It was only two days ago Valdo had asked me to marry him, but we still managed to have plan my dream wedding. My mother and Hannah played a huge role in the preparation. They practically planned it themselves. I didn't mind because Valdo and I were busy sorting out the legal side of things.

"Are you ready?" Kevin called from behind the door. Yesterday I asked Kevin if he could walk me down the aisle, and without hesitation, he said yes.

It was my time!

I looked at myself in the mirror one last time and smiled. I've never felt or looked this beautiful in my entire life. All eyes would soon be on me as I walked down the aisle, and that made me super nervous.

I took a deep breath then turn towards the door. I pushed it opened and looked up at Kevin.

He placed his hands on his chest. "You look amazing."

"Thanks," I said blushing.

"Are you ready?"

I nod. This day has been playing in my head for two days now. I was more than ready to make Valdo my husband.

He smiled and enlaced our arms at the elbows. We turned to the path leading to the aisle, and my heart started beating a mile a minute when I saw everyone's eyes at me.

Kevin chuckled, "I was just as nervous as you on my wedding day. You'll be okay." he assured. "Just take a few deep breaths."

I did what he suggested then looked ahead at the guests.

Zuria, Christina, and Emily were all waving at me. My mom and Hannah were taking pictures.

I looked ahead, and I saw him, Uvaldo Dakoda, my future husband, my rescuer, my hero and the love of my life. His enchanting blue eyes never left mine, and he had a big smile on his face. Suddenly everything seems a little better, and my anxiety was slowing disappearing. All the guest suddenly became a blur to me. The only thing I could see was Valdo smiling at me.

I smiled back.

This is Valdo.

The same Valdo who brought a pregnant homeless girl into his home without even knowing her real name or age. The same Valdo's heart was made of gold. He would never hurt me, and he'll always protect me.

At the end of the aisle Kevin hugged me, said "After this, you'll officially be my daughter. Welcome to the family."

I smiled and placed my finger at the corner of my eyes to prevent a tear from falling. Because of Valdo, I discovered the true meaning of family, and for that, I'll be forever grateful.

Kevin placed my hand in Valdo's and smiled, "Take good care of her. " he said before walking to take a stand beside his wife.

Valdo and I looked at each other with smiles on our faces, neither of us saying anything.

We turned towards the priest.

He looked ahead at our guest, "You can now be seated" They followed his request without hesitation. He looked down at us and smile. "Dear friends and family, we are gathered here today to witness and celebrate the union of Uvaldo Dakoda and Jakobia Taylor in marriage. This couple is not like your average couple. They haven't known each other for years. It hasn't even been a year in fact, but love has no time span. Today, as we create this marriage, we also create a new bond and a new sense of family - one that will undoubtedly include all who are present here today."
