'Mr and Mrs Laurent'

----

My smile grows, i turn around giving Blair one last squeeze before walking out the long hallway, the sun peaking through the windows. As i walk further away with the bridesmaids behind me, there my dad was.

Wearing a black tux standing by one of the pillars, walking back and forth anxiously and once his eyes meet with mine i run to him

Wrapping my arms around him he whispers something in my ear "my beautiful little girl" i smile pulling away and kissing his cheek "thank you daddy, i love you" i whisper back

"Are you ready, cherub?" He questions, hooking my arm in his i nod

"I'm ready"

I was a fucking nervous wreck, my grip tightens on my bouquet of flowers as we start inching closer to the venue. The bridesmaids- Ilaria, Blair, Ever, Xamira, Lark and Heidi -went one by one before us

I take a deep breath when it was our turn, we take the first step on light pink rose petals and everybody stands up, turning to us.

Please don't trip

One foot in front of the other Ijaya. Do. Not. Trip.

My eyes land on everyone with soft smiles on their face. Then my eyes finally land on the one man i'd love to be with forever

Niko looked at me with so much admiration, like he couldn't believe this was real, he smiles in my direction with a wink.

Niko stood in a cream coloured suit, with his hair like it normally is and a little white flower in the small pocket of his blazer. My eyes stayed on him the rest of the time i walked to him, it was just the two of us in our own little world right now

He turns his head trying to blink away his tears but fails when he looks at me again, with glossy eyes

I thought i had to turn around and redo the whole thing but no no we're good

We make it to the alter and my dad gives me one more look before kissing my cheek, looking over at Niko with one last nod he hands my hand over to Niko.

Niko slowly pulls me closer to him and we stand across from each other 'beautiful' he whispers to me and I whisper back 'i love you so much'

I wipe a tear as i stare at the perfect man in front of me. From his defined jaw to his perfectly shaped eyes and plump lips, to his eyelashes- oh how jealous i am of those -and of course his eyes. Niko would definitely be painted by a woman if he was a painting

My attention turns to the priest listening to him speaking "we are gathered here to witness the joining of two precious lives. This is the holy matrimony celebration of Niko Alister Laurent to Ijaya Grace De Luca, two people who are very loved by all" we both look at each other and smile
