IT MUST HAVE BEEN LOVE

Chapter 13

Nine months later, Fiona stood in front of the mirror in her wedding dress as Jane helped her put on the last finishing touches--the roses.

    Their theme was roses which they thought were sweet and common.

    They didn't want their wedding to be anything special, just all of their friends and family watching as they went down the aisle.

    Each girl had their bridesmaids and the matron of honor--Jane. She was like a sister to the girls and it was between her and Madison so Jane was Fiona's matron of honor and Madison was Emily's to make things fair.

    "Are you nervous," asked Jane, tying her hair together with a blue ribbon.

    "Why would I not be?"

    "You're going to be just fine," she treasures. Jane kisses her cheek and leaves the room just as she could hear the door opening and then small feet walk towards her. She smiled behind her to see Tina and Artie's daughter Ally who she scooped up in a hug.

    "Hey little lady! What are you doin?'" The two year old smiles.

    "I'm good Fi-Fi." She could hear other footsteps coming in behind the two. "Mommy!"

    Tina grabbed her daughter from her friend.

    "Sorry about that Fiona. She wanted to see her best friend before she got married."

    "It's totally fine Tina. I am more than happy to see my JR. Flower girl." Tina put an arm around her.

    "Just to let you know, the crowd is going crazy and Burt is on his way now." Fiona thanked Tina while she took her daughter with the other Flower Girls. Fiona took a deep breath.

    This was her moment and she was more than ready to marry the love of her life.

    The wedding march began playing just as Burt walked his step-daughter down the aisle as he took her to the stage kissing her cheek before letting go of her. She smiled at Emily.

    "You look beautiful," she whispered.

    "You too," she responded, grabbing her hand. The preacher did his introduction telling everyone that they had their own vows prepared.

    "Emily. Before I met you, I was nothing more than just another outcast with the fat best friend both of which that you practically ignored but I knew from the second I first laid eyes on you that you were different like somehow you weren't like the other girls and that is one of the many reasons why I love you. Standing here today is a dream especially considering what we've gone through together." Emily blushed and took a deep breath.

"Everyone says that you're better off dating someone in your popularity range but those are all just lies and we both know it. I mean, your brother dated one of the biggest rejects in school and even though he's gone, I know that he's really proud of you right now just as proud as I am." Carole wiped a tear from her eye.

"Do you Fiona take Emily to be your long awaited wife for as long as you both shall live?"

"I do."

"And do you Emily---"

"I do," she interrupted, causing Fiona to smile before kissing her, as everyone began applauding for the happy couple, as they ran back down the aisle together hand in hand as everyone followed close behind.

    Fiona sat down next to Emily, hands collided as Burt went on about what a wonderful woman his daughter was. Kurt gave her a big smile and she couldn't help but smile at him, knowing her brother was proud of her. After the toast came the first dance to Once Upon A December from Annastastia.
