Reposting this chapter to add the full scene of Arthur and Thea's first night. Enjoy!

AUTHOR'S P.O.V

An hour before the wedding, Thea was fidgeting in the make-up room, getting a make-over and her hair styled for the last 2 hours. The time's ticking so fast for her, one minute they were planning for their second wedding, the next thing she was ready to remarry the love of her life in about an hour. The anxiety wouldn't leave her since earlier this morning. She didn't know why she was so nervous, it felt even worse than her first wedding. Maybe it was the wedding jitters.

Their wedding plan was pretty quick and efficient as it was mostly Arthur who took care of everything, from the ceremony and reception venue, their planners, photographers, caterer, florist, musicians, and the guest list. Arthur made sure it wouldn't stress her much so he did most of their wedding plan. Besides, he loves to spoil his wife.

She hadn't heard anything from him this morning, she had been busy doing the make-up and everything. She glanced at her bridesmaids behind her in the mirror. Bella, Lily, Chyntia (Arthur's cousin), and Alisha were her only bridesmaids. Jessy was a bridesmaid too, but couldn't attend the wedding today as she was still resting in the hospital. Her doctor suggested her to avoid heavy activity, which Thea understood for the sake of her condition. Thea's maid of honor, Celine, was smiling at her. Chosing the salmon pink as their dresses color, she smiled at how beautiful they all looked right now.

"Look at you, Thea. You're gorgeous." the hairstyle smiled at her as she finished doing her hair.

Thea smiled, looking at her hair in the mirror. "Thank you. You're amazing."

When it's time to try the wedding gown, her phone vibrated to a text from Arthur. She instantly smiled as she read the text.

Arthur: Miss you :(
Thea: You'll see me in an hour x
Arthur: I can't wait anymore
Arthur: I haven't seen you for 2 days
Thea: Well don't blame me, I was kidnapped
Arthur: The nerve of your friends...
Arthur: Can I come see you in your room?
Thea: No!
Thea: It's a bad luck to see each other before the ceremony
Arthur: I don't believe that
Arthur: I'll be quick though ;)
Thea: Don't you dare!
Thea: Just go talk to River or something
Arthur: Fine.
Arthur: But if I find out you're not walking down the aisle, I'll hunt you down
Thea: Lol I can't run away even if I want to
Thea: I'm already trapped with you forever :(
Arthur: Damn right
Arthur: But seriously, walk down that aisle please.
Thea: Don't worry, I'll be the one in white :)
Arthur: See you at the altar darling xx

She chuckled at his text. Even though the idea of seeing Arthur before the ceremony was tempting, she still believes that it would get them a bad luck, and she didn't want to cost anything.

They haven't seen each other for 2 days since Celine, Lily, and Bella kidnapped her to stay with them for her bachelorette party, much to Arthur's dismay. The three of them got along shortly after Thea asked them to be her braidsmaids. It was not much, they mostly just spent the night together, having girls night without the unnecessary male stripper. That left Arthur in the house alone, missing his wife terribly. He refused to have a bachelor party that River and his friends from college held for him, saying it was not necessary as he was already married. After a lot of bickering, he finally agreed to go only for a few hours, just because we was lonely in the house without Thea.

Fitting into her wedding gown, she looked at herself in the mirror and surprised to see how beautiful she looked right now. Her make-up artist and hairstylist did an amazing job to her. She smiled at herself, then she saw Matthew walked in the room behind her. He took a look at her and gave her a warm smile.
