she also told me her bachelorette party is in two weeks and we and the guys won’t be in the same place at the same time so that’s good to know.”
“Sounds good to me. I know you’ll be happy when all of this is over.”
“You have no idea.” Really. He had no idea. Two more weeks and all of this mess would be behind me. I just had to survive until then.
We lay there while the movie still played. My mind wasn’t on the movie; it was on the next two weeks. I could do it. I know I could. With everything I’ve been through, I could surely survive the next two weeks and walk in my best friends wedding with my ex fiancée.
“I really like your parents Luke. They seem great.” I smiled letting the conversation take a turn to something more positive. I’ve never been more relieved in my life to hear his reaction to what I deemed to be an issue.
“They are. I’m glad you like them. I was worried it would scare you off. They aren’t always at the restaurant.”
I laced our fingers together and smiled at him. “No worries. It takes a lot to scare me Luke, they were far from scary. I know this sounds corny but I was so glad they accepted me.”
“Baby,” he looked deep into my eyes, “I love you and they see that. They know we are good together. They don’t have to know you forever to see that. My mom is happy that I’m happy, s he told me she really likes you and well you saw her face when I told her we were going to get married.”
“I overheard her tell you not to let me go. What if I run before the wedding?” I joked with him knowing good and well that I wasn’t going anywhere he wasn’t. My life was nothing without him. I could never live without him by my side. Plus, I wasn’t too big on running. I used to be but I really hadn’t had the urge in a long time.
“Then I’ll chase you. I won’t lose. Ever. I run fast too so you won’t get far.” He winked and I leaned in to kiss him. Knowing he wouldn’t let me go was one of the best feelings I’ve had. That was another thing to add to the reasons why I loved this man so much.
He ran his hands up my back as we kissed and I let out a soft moan. Such a simple kiss but I wanted to cling to it and then put it in a box for later. I pulled my lips away and laid my head back down on his chest. He ran his fingers through my damp hair and within minutes I was fast asleep.
I could hear the wedding march beginning. I was full of nerves. I don’t see why. I’ve been waiting for this day forever , or at least it seems that way. Randy and Sherry are seated up front. I’m so glad they are going to be my in-laws. From the moment I met them, I just knew this would all be perfect. I fixed my veil and held onto my flowers in my hand. Uncle Gary met me and stood by my side, linking my arm in his. I can’t believe my wedding was actually here. I was glad I decided against the courthouse. My bouquet consisted of blue and pink daisies and my dress was an ivory gown with some beading and lace. It had the sweetheart top; I saved all my money from working at The Lounge on it. Halley had done my hair in some up-do she had seen in some magazine. I had enough bobby pins to build a bridge to France in my head. Anyone want to go see the Eiffel Tower after this?
I drew in a deep breath as the church doors opened and Gary whispered in my ear, “I am so proud of you baby girl.”
I held my tears back determined not to let my mascara run. Everyone in the church stood as we made our way down the aisle. I was more anxious to see Luke standing at the altar. Once the vows were said, I would be Mrs. Lucas Nolan. I could see Randy and Sherry and when they made eye contact with me, I smiled at them. They weren’t smiling back though. Matter of fact, Sherry looked as though she had been crying, and not a happy cry. What’s going on? I looked over towards the altar to see why she was crying.
Luke wasn’t up there. In fact, I couldn’t find him at all. My heart began to
