"You look beautiful." Sadie says with Ivy on her hip whilst I continue to curls the bottom of my hair. I smile at her through the mirror, and blow a kiss to my daughter.

She's eight months old today, I can't believe she's been in this world for almost an entire year. Her eyes have become more opaque during the last few months, and they resemble the deep blue ocean. It's both terrifying and beautiful.

Sadie is dressed in a stunning mint green bridesmaid gown with a slit in the leg that reveals her matching heels. I'm not quite sure how she managing to wear them whilst carrying Ivy.

"Are you ready for the wedding to begin?" Sadie questions I delicately remove Ivy from her arms and set her on my hip. Jiwon approaches me and tucks one of my strands of hair behind my ear.

"Ready as I'll ever be." I smile pressing my lips against Ivy's pink cheeks. Sadie and Jiwon take their place at the alter, stood next to Charli the other bridesmaid Karina.

I adjust the headband on Ivy and I bite my tongue and take a deep breath as I prepare to walk down the isle. Tears are already welling up in my eyes as I gaze across the room at my stunning soon-to-be husband.

It's a small wedding with just Sorin's family, my brother and our small group of friends. I interlock my arm with Banks, and begin walking down slowly with Ivy still settled peacefully on my hip.

Banks stands next to his boyfriend Alex with a little smile on his face as we approach the front of the room.

Sorin admires me before brushing his finger tips against Ivy's cheeks and blowing her a kiss, causing a small smile to emerge on my lips.

"I love who I am with you; when you smile at me, you make me feel like the entire world. It was the easiest decision I've ever had to make to ask you to spend the rest of your life with me. I adore you with the entirety of my heart."

"You're talented and passionate, and you have so much love to give to the world. I knew you were the most beautiful woman in the world the first time your green eyes locked on mine, and I still can't believe I have you all to myself." I wipe the tears from my waterline with the back of my hand as Sorin stood talking.

I take a deep breath before saying my speech. "End is another word for beginning, and although we're not teenagers anymore I fall in love with you a little more every single day. I always felt like I understood you even when you didn't communicate it, I felt as though my soul was connected to your beautiful one."

"You are my heart and my soul, my tomorrow and my forever. You're my first thought when I open my eyes, and my last when I close them. You are so special to me, you brought me from the dark to the light and for that I will always be by your side. You gave me a reason to love and open my eyes to the world, you gave me a daughter and you gave me a reason to live and I will forever love you for that." Once I finish speaking, Sorin takes my spare hand in his before kissing both me and Ivy on our temples.

I swear I see tears cloud Sorin's vision as the priest finished speaking.
"I, Sorin Hutton, take you, Nita Ryuu, to be my wife. I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honour you all the days of my life."

"I, Nita Ryuu, take you, Sorin Hutton, to be my husband. I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honour you all the days of my life." Once I finish speaking, Sorin slides the silver ring onto the same finger my proposal band sits, whilst I slide the ring onto Sorin's finger.

"You are now pronounced husband and wife, you may kiss the bride." I wrap my spare arm around Sorin's neck and pull him in for a quick closed mouth kiss. He takes Ivy from my hip and places her onto his. He presses his lips against hers for a brief moment.

Alex and Banks had finally adopted their daughter two months ago. Ivy and their daughter Rosa are both playing together with some brick blocks.

Though they have almost two years difference in their age, they are already best of friends. I bend down in my wedding dress to place Ivy's pacifier in her mouth, before making my way over to the small table to cut the cake with Sorin.

"I don't think I have ever seen anybody as beautiful as you." Sorin's lips brush against my ear, as I approach his side. I feel red coat my cheeks before pressing my lips to both his cheeks.

Whatever happens in the future, I will forever love him through thick or thin. Though today and tomorrow. Through the sunshines and storms.

I grab ahold of the cake cutter and Sorin places his hands over mind, before I cut into the three tier cake. The outside of the cake is covered in white icing whilst the inside is coated in strawberry red food colouring.

The strawberry flavours of the cake, coat my tongue as I place my fork into mouth. All the flavours mix together, causing a sweet sensation of taste. My cheeks are stuffed with cake like a hamsters, causing Sorin to let out a chuckle.

I can't wait to earn more of his laughs and beautiful smiles in the future.

I was never taught to love. Love my nonexistent whilst I was child. Sure, I knew the basics occasionally giving your hues and a kiss on the cheek or having sexual intercourse so loud your own child wanted to snap their neck and an occasional slap to the cheek when you accidentally made your husband upset.

It had taken almost my entire childhood to realise that wasn't right. Had sleeping beauty even been hurt by her Prince Charming?

Soulmates aren't just lovers. They're two halves of the same entity. He's apart of me. I'm part of his beautiful soul whilst he's part of mine. He's my best friend, my family and my lover.

I always felt like he understood my heart in the silence.

Do I believe in soulmates? No. Two people aren't made for one another, they are two people who fell in love and strived for happiness. They communicate their feelings, and make the other people feel the best about themselves with just one look.

During times where I felt like giving up, all Sorin had to do was look in my direction and I suddenly felt like the most beautiful being on this planet.

It doesn't take much to make other people feel loved. You just need to care about them enough to care yourself.

Some people are just lazy, and let their other half walk away and soon regret it. Whilst other people continue fighting for the person they love.

My soul and heart is his. I found my home, and that was between his arms. If he wanted to move across the globe I'd follow him, because sometimes you have to sacrifice things to make other people happen.

And I'd gladly give up my entire life as long as I was able to see that adorable smile on his lips one more time.


Souls don't meet by accident- unknown
