Chapter Fifteen: The Beginning Of The Rest Of Their Lives

Chapter Fifteen: The Beginning Of The Rest Of Their Lives

Isabella Todd stood in front of her full length mirror in her bedroom, her eyes roaming her appearance. She smiled. It was perfect. She was perfect. Her dream wedding dress fit her just exactly, accentuating every curve of her figure. This day could not be better. She was marrying the man of her dreams in less than five minutes.

After taking a shuddery breath, she turned around to face her best friend, Brooke. "How do I look?"

Brooke grinned. "Just like you thought you would that day we planned our dream weddings, Belle."

Bella resisted the urge to squeal from excitement. "But do you think Toby will like it?"

Brooke scoffed. "If he doesn't, he needs help."

The door to Bella's bedroom cracked open. "Two minutes, Bella." Kristin told her.

"Oh, God, what if I chicken out? What if I mess up my vows? What if Toby leaves me at the alter? What if Olga objects?"

"Belle! You need to chill, hun. Everything's going to be fine." Brooke placed her hands on Bella's shoulders. "Toby loves you. I promise, this will be your dream wedding."

"Thanks. Smack me if I freak out like that again."

Brooke laughed. "I will."

"By the way, you don't look too bad yourself, Brookey."

Brooke smiled, her brown eyes sparkling. The maid of honor was dressed in a beautiful sheer green gown just like the bridesmaids. The only exception was that Brooke's was adorned with miniscule blue sparkles down the bodice.

Both girls snapped their heads to the door when they heard the knock. From the other side, Kristin said, "It's time, Bella."

Isabella gulped, trying hard to refrain from shaking from the nervousness. Brooke held the door open for her and she stepped out slowly. She met the smiling faces of her bridesmaids: Gabbie and Kattie. She looked at the flower girls: both of Toby's brother's little girls. She stared for a moment at the grin on her wedding planner's face: Kristin. And finally, she met the gaze of the man who would soon be escorting her down the aisle: Sean.

Kristin did a quick head count, then, as the music started, ushered the ladies out in order. Sean linked Isabella's arm in his. "You ready?" he asked, lowering her veil for her.

She nodded and they started out the door and down the aisle.

As everyone in the seats turned to watch the bride glide down the aisle, Toby followed suit. His hazel eyes met his future wife's blue ones and he grinned. Toby had never felt so excited, yet nervous in his life. His breath had been taken away when she'd appeared at the beginning of the aisle. Just a year ago, he'd watched this girl confess her love for him on the VidCon stage. He'd never felt like he'd needed someone in his life that much. He could barely keep the grin off his face when Sean let her go and went to stand in between the best men, Jack and Gabe.

Isabella turned to hand her bouquet to Brooke and exhaled a rugged breath.

"You look nervous." Toby whispered.

"You look excited." Isabella whispered back.

They both smiled at each other and Bella reached out to straighten Toby's little red bowtie under his chin.

"Just couldn't forget the tux of darkness, redness, and whiteness, could you?"

"No, I couldn't resist."

Bella laughed as the priest began the ceremony.

"Do you, Isabella Marie Todd, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
