Della Lechâteau and her friends take off to Monaco for a grad trip to remember forever. The weather is warmer and the real world is nothing but a distant thought in the beautiful destination that attracts the wealthiest people in the world. Adventur...
I look at myself in the full length mirror, my fingers moving along the white fabric that flows around me like water. My eyes move along the gown that felt right the minute I tried it on months earlier at the bridal store, a smile comes to my face as I process that i'm marrying the love of my life in a few minutes. A hand comes to my shoulder making me snap out of my daze, "are you ready sweetheart?" my mom asks with a smile, "i've never been more ready" I reply, she pulls me into a quick hug making me giggle, "I'm so happy for you Della, i've always wanted you to find someone like Charles" I feel my eyes start to water, "don't make me cry mom" she kisses my head and pulls away, "can't help it" I squeeze her hand and nod. "Let's go, i'm sure he's sweating right now" she laughs and we leave the small room to go meet my dad, who will walk me down the aisle.
When we get the okay, I slide my hand around my dad's arm as we walk out of the small cottage we rented for the occasion and step into the backyard that is decorated to perfection. My eyes immediately go to Charles who is standing at the altar watching me, I smile at the Monégasque who has glassy eyes while taking in my appearance. I can't help but get emotional as well as we make our way down the path of flowers at my feet. Once i'm steps away from Charles my dad kisses my cheek, "I love you munchkin" he murmurs using the old nickname for me, I laugh quietly and smile, "je t'aime papa" I reply and he squeezes my hand before letting go. The Monégasque then takes my hand to bring me forward, "t'est prête?" he asks while looking into my eyes, "yes" I reply my voice cracking slightly. He smiles and we turn to the officiant to seal the deal.

Charles takes me into his arms later that evening for our first dance as husband and wife. I'm smiling as he quickly catches my lips with his, my hand cradles the side of his face as his hand rests on my back keeping me flush to him. Once we pull away he starts swaying us around the make shift dance floor, my arms winding around his neck while smiling. "Mon amour, tu est une Leclerc maintenant" he says quietly while resting his forehead against mine, "oui et je suis tellement heureuse d'être ta femme" I reply, "Della Leclerc" I smile at his statement before pulling him in for another kiss.
When the music ends all of our family and friends clap and whistle making us pull away. Charles takes my hand and pulls me over to where the cake is sitting, "wait we haven't had dinner yet" I exclaim with a laugh, "I don't want to wait Della" he says with a grin. I look at the man I love with a smile, not saying anything just taking in the childlike excitement that comes over him when we stop at the table holding the tiered cake. "Je t'aime Char" you say making him turn to you, "je t'aime beaucoup ma chérie" he replies and pulls me closer to kiss the side of my head. "Come on let's cut this cake, who needs to do this in order" he laughs and I turn to try to get someone to bring us a knife. Charles has his chin on my shoulder, his arms around my front as we wait, the placement of his hand on my tummy makes me remember what I found out 24 hours earlier with Émie and Wren by my side.
The silence of waiting for the cake knife to be handed to us feels like the right time to tell the Monégasque. "Char I need to tell you something" I murmur, he turns his head slightly to be able to see my face, "okay" he replies while lifting an eyebrow curiously, "I'm pregnant" a smile appears on his face and he loosens his arms before turning me around. "T'est sérieux?" I nod with a small smile on my face, he lowers his lips to mine while cradling my face in his hands, "c'est magnifique mom amour" he says when pulling away seconds later, "yeah?" he kisses my head gently, "oui" you pull him into a hug standing there for a few seconds. The moment slightly broken when someone comes over with a knife to cut our cake. We hold the knife together and pick a spot on the bottom tier before slicing a piece out of it. Once the piece is on a plate I use my pinky to swipe some icing and dot it on Charles' nose, he scrunches up his face adorably making me giggle. He does the same to me with a laugh of his own, my hands rest on his forearms our gazed locked as flashes of cameras surround us. The Ferrari driver pulls me in for a quick kiss before dragging me back out onto the dance floor.
The night eventually ends with me and Charles stepping into a custom Ferrari. Many hugs are exchanged before the Monégasque leads me to the passenger side where he helps me get in without ruining my dress. My hand latches onto his as he drives away from the venue, "c'était parfait" I say, he looks over at me briefly with a smile, "tellement parfait ma chérie" he replies before bringing my hand up to kiss the back of it. I turn up the radio with my free hand, leaning back into my seat watching the approaching scenery feeling like I've accomplished everything, and with Charles by my side to help me accomplish even more down the road of what is sure to be a curvy one I feel like everything is going to be just fine in our lives.
