hand in hers. I squeeze it and smile.
“Thank you, baby girl,” I look into her eyes. Gosh, she will never know how much she reminds me of our momma. My eyes tear up. I can’t help the emotions running over me. I guess I’d not thought about how this was going to feel. Perhaps I’d even avoided the topic because I knew it would be like this. I am so blessed to have my best friend and my sister to walk me down the aisle, but let’s face it; I would give anything to have my parents here. I just hope they can see how happy I am. I truly believe they are with me all the time.
“Hey there, no crying allowed before your man gets to see how fucking gorgeous you look,” Kylie says, wiping my tear away. Adjusting my curls, she steps in front of me and tugs my chin up.
“They’re here, Skylar. You and I both know that. They are happy for you and this is going to be a beautiful day.” Kylie coaches me. My best friend is never serious like this much. She always puts some sort of smartass humor to things, but right now, her words are just what I need to hear. Pulling me into her arms, I hold on to her.
“I love you,” I whisper. “Thank you for everything.”
“No one deserves this more than you. There is no way you are thanking me. I love you and would do this a million times for you. Besides that… your man is loaded, so like, we can actually do this a million times again.” She jokes and we begin laughing. Just like that, my sassy, smartass friend returns.
“Are you ready?” Sophie asks and I nod. The lady handling the wedding sends us on out to make our way around to where they are waiting.
I hadn’t been prepared for what I saw when we walked out. A massive bamboo altar stands in the middle of the beach, the beautiful blue water crashes in the background. There isn’t a cloud in the crisp blue sky. White and silver fabric blows in the wind, adorned with every imaginable tropical flower in existence. A long piece of turquoise fabric covers the sand and lines the way to him, dusted in the same tropical flower petals. John Legend’s enchanting voice fills my ears, but my eyes are locked on the gorgeous man staring back at me.
Dressed in loose gray pants and a white linen shirt, he can put any GQ model to shame. (And I mean SHAME!) Nik’s eyes are glued on my best friend.
Looking back to Sebastian, I take a deep breath. My insides calm when I see him smile back at me. Sophie and Kylie hook arms with me and we begin our journey to the love of my life.
“Who gives this woman away?”
In unison, Sophie and Kylie speak, “We do in honor of her parents.”
They move to light a candle in front of a picture. I gasp when I see a table with pictures of my parents, his mom, and my Granna. There on that table is everyone we have loved and lost. Because of someone’s wonderful heart, they really are here and part of this. I can never thank whoever did this enough.
Sebastian steps forward and takes my hand. An overwhelming surge of energy flows through my body and we both smile knowingly. This happens every single time we are near each other and I love it more and more with every minute of every day.
“I love you,” he whispers and kisses my hand.
I squeeze back and the man clears his throat to begin the ceremony. I hope I can concentrate on it, because right now I’m lost in the eyes of my happily ever after.
Sebastian
She is absolute perfection. Heaven itself couldn’t be any more stunning than she is right now. Skylar keeps staring at me as I hold her soft hands in mine.
“The groom has requested he do his own vows,” the minister announces.
Shit, I probably should have warned her about this . I just want to tell her how I feel without the use of some generic wedding vows. She needs to hear this.
“Skylar, from the first moment I laid eyes on you, you stole my breath away and to be honest, I’m not entirely certain that I ever got it back. You saw right through me, all the way down deep inside,
