Today is the big day. It’s flown by. I’m so excited but so fucking nervous at the same time. We’re having a small wedding, just our close friends and family. The wedding was outside and luckily we have the best day for it. It’s sunny and warm and it’s supposed to stay this way all day. I can’t beat the nerves rumbling around in my tummy. I’m getting my hair and makeup done for me in an hour and I am just anxiously pacing around my bridal suite at the moment. I need to calm down. I've got to be ready and out the door to marry the man of my dreams, for a second time in three hours. Claire came through the door with a teary face.

“It all looks so, so beautiful Scar!!”

“Is it perfect, just like I wanted it?”

“It’s… I have no words for it. You’re going to be so amazed.”

I smiled; I know Claire wouldn’t lie to me. I just want this day to be perfect. Things were still awkward between Tony and Mike but for the sake of this day I hope everything’s alright. After finally getting my hair and makeup done I was ready to put on my dress. It’s the most perfect dress I’ve ever laid eyes on in my entire life and when I seen it, I knew I’d marry the man of my dreams in it. Lucy is our little flower girl, she is wearing a pale pink dress and a cute little white cardigan and her long hair is curled. She looks beautiful. She’s definitely a heart breaker. I turn to give her one last cuddle before getting my dress on and I squeezed her in my arms. I’m so excited and nervous! There are way too many emotions going on right now. I went to put my dress on and I walked out to my mum, dad, Claire and Lucy all smiling. My mum and Claire especially had little tears on their eyes.

“Mamma you look like a princess! You are so beautiful!” Lucy gushed.

“I have to agree. You look stunning my baby” My dad chipped in.

“I- I… You’re beautiful. Wow.” Claire said quietly, holding back tears.

“Oh, my baby! How beautiful you are.” My mum said, cuddling me.

“Stop guys you’re gonna make me cry!” I giggled.

We were informed that everyone had taken their seats and that Mike was waiting at the altar for me. The butterflies in my stomach started battling again as I started to walk with Claire and Lucy, with my white roses in hand. I tried to keep calm but I couldn’t help the little tear that passed through as Mike came into slightly into sight. He is so handsome. And he isn’t wearing a beanie – can you believe it? He is the most beautiful man in the entire world. I’m so, so lucky. I was snapped out of my thoughts by Claire’s hand on my arm.

“Are you ready beautiful lady? Wait - why are you crying?!”

“I’m just so happy.” I giggled. I took a deep breath in. “Okay. Lucy on you go baby.”

Lucy nodded and walked with her little basket of flower petals in one arm, whilst she was spreading them down the aisle. She got to the front and sat beside my mum and had a big smile on her face. Next went Claire and she walked ever so gracefully and I was just hoping I could do the same and not trip up on my heels or something. Next it was my turn. My heart was racing, it felt like it was in my mouth, and the butterflies in my stomach were even wilder. This is going to be the best day of my life. I know this time that everything between Mike and I, it will be perfect. We’ve already done everything to mess it up so nothing else possibly could this time. We’re perfect for each other. I linked arms with my dad and off we went down the aisle. The music started and everyone stood up, staring at me in awe. Some were crying. I felt beautiful. Mike made me feel this way. I couldn’t help the huge smile that was planted on my face. I didn’t even want to get rid of it. The photographer snapped some photos of me and my dad looking at each other and showing just how happy I was. Some of the photos were of Mike and his reaction to seeing me. His face. The smile on his face made me feel at home. The sparkle in his eyes was the most beautiful thing ever. As we got to the altar my dad gave me away to Mike, who I was now hand in hand with.
We recited our vows and before I knew it “You may kiss the bride” was said and Mike planted the most passionate kiss ever in front of all of our family and friends. We pecked each other’s lips a few times after that and I felt like I was in heaven.

“I love you so much my baby girl. It’s me and you, always.” He said as he pressed his forehead to mine.

“Always baby. I love you handsome.” I said to him and we held hands as we walked down the aisle to everyone cheering. I’ve never been happier in my entire life. What a perfect day so far and it’s hardly even started.

We had just finished our wonderful meal and it was time for the speeches. We’d decided that it’d be Mike to talk between the two of us because we both knew I’d get all teary.

First to speak was Papa Fuentes. “We have known little Scarlett for years. Since she was about Lucy’s height. I know, cute, right? Her and Michael never really seen eye to eye…” everyone who knew us well in the room laughed, knowing that sometimes we fought like cat and dog, especially when we were younger. “But that aside, when they got together, they were such a perfect couple. You could feel the love as soon as you entered a room they were in. You could see it on their faces, the love they have is true and pure. Nothing can break that. Scarlett’s always been a part of our family and I’m so proud to know her. She has made my Michael happier than I’ve ever seen him. She is an angel. And my wife and I love her to death. We wish you two the world of happiness, you both deserve it more than anything and we love you both dearly. To Scarlett and Michael!” Everyone toasted their glass and Mike and I shared a quick kiss.

Next was my own father. “There have been times when I’ve doubted this man… But all in all, he’s a wonderful man. He is the best person for my daughter. He’s amazing to her, and amazing with my beautiful little granddaughter. They are the most wonderful couple and like Victor said, you can see the love they have for each other when they look each other. You know there’s something special there. I love this man like my son now and I’m so happy with how happy he makes my daughter. To Scar and Mike everyone!”

Next to speak was Claire. “Okay, well I actually met Scarlett due to her dating my current boyfriend, Austin. I’m so glad we met though, because the instant I met her I loved her. I’m sure Mike knows the feeling.” She winked at Mike. “And honestly, in the whole time I’ve known her I’ve never seen her happier than with Mike by her side. They are truly an amazing and beautiful couple together. They are perfect together. She makes him happy and he makes her so happy. What more can you want? I’m more than happy for them and I wish them a life of happiness and I know for sure that they will have that.”

Vic stood up next. “I know neither me or Claire were actually to speak but we’d decided we wanted to, alright?” he laughed. “Honestly, Scarlett has been my best friend since I was about 6 and I loved her so much. It’s true when my Pap says that her and Mike never seen eye to eye, because fuck, they really didn’t. But then, when they got together, I was more than happy. A bit shocked and over protective like a brother of Scarlett’s would be if she had one, but I was happy. They both deserve the happiness that they give each other. And I’m happy to call Scarlett my baby sister. You two are amazing together and I love you both so much.”

Everyone clapped and then finally Mike stood up. The smiles hadn’t left either of our faces all day. “Okay, I’m the last person to speak. First of all, I just want to thank everyone that said something there, Papa, Colin, Claire, Vic – thank you all. You are amazing. And you all know we love you very much. I also want to thank my little Lucy Wucy, for walking down the aisle and looking so very beautiful! You are amazing too little baby!” he said as he turned to her. “Here’s a little necklace for being beautiful and doing what you did for mamma and daddy okay? And to my mum and my new mother in law, Scarlett and I would like to give you flowers for everything you’ve done for us. You are amazing women.” I walked over to them both with the bouquet of flowers and I kissed them both on the cheek. “Finally, Claire – we knew you’d like this as well as Vic and our dads. We’d like to give you four a bottle of whiskey. Because we know we’re difficult to put up with sometimes and you are all saints for putting up with us.” Mike and I handed the four of them their whiskey bottles. I’d also given Claire a bracelet last night as a thanks to her for doing everything she does for us. “Finally to my wife, my beautiful, amazing, perfect little lady. I’m so happy you’re mine. I love you more than I’ve ever loved anything in my whole life. You are my everything. You’re my whole world and I’m so happy to be yours.” He pressed a firm kiss to my lips and everyone either did a chorus of “awww’s” or a chorus of “Get a room!” We laughed as we pulled away from each other and Mike spoke into the microphone one last time. “Thank you all for coming, it means the world to us and enjoy yourselves tonight! Now if my brother and Tony would set up for the first dance that would be amazing.”

Mike took my hand and led me to the dance floor. Vic gave him a nod and we started dancing as soon as Vic started playing guitar. My eyes started to water when I realised that Vic was playing ‘Kissing in Cars’. Mike stared at me dead in the eyes and sang quietly along with the lyrics to me as we danced. The butterflies in my stomach were happening all over again and I felt like I’d just fallen in love again with him for the first time. it was so perfect. I can’t believe how perfect my husband is. I kissed him softly and our lips moved perfectly in sync with each other’s and I smiled into the kiss. We kept on dancing and people around us were crying and I felt totally and utterly in love. The smile never left my face and Mike and I stared at each other, kissing and smiling and singing along to the lyrics.

“I love you so, so much baby.” He whispered into my forehead and a tear slid down his cheek, purely from being so happy.

“I love you so much handsome. You are perfect.” I whispered back and sang the rest of the lyrics softly in his ear as he smiled. “Second chances won’t leave you alone cause there’s faith in love. If you kiss me goodnight I’ll know everything is alright. Second chances won’t leave us alone, won’t leave us alone, cause there’s faith in love.”

This really is my fairy-tale wedding and I’m so in love with him. How can one person be so lucky?
