Above is what I envisioned some of the outfits and theme for the wedding would be like, a little similar to what I have in mind so I just wanted to create an image for you guys. Enjoy! :)

Wedding day

Have you ever looked back at your life and thought to yourself; Wow, I really have gotten this far when I thought I wouldn't. A year ago I couldn't even imagine that I'll be the one walking down the aisle today, to the man I love and absolutely adore with all of my heart. This was like a dream of endless opportunities and I honestly couldn't have asked for more. It was our one-year anniversary today, our wedding day, and it's about to become our official anniversary to celebrate our love. I was so excited, but also a bundle of nerves at the same time. Someone would mistaken my mixed emotions as a sign of getting cold feet, but I had no doubt in my heart and soul that I was doing this, I was ready.

There was a knock on the door of the room we were getting ready in, and we all went quiet for a second because we were exchanging looks at who that might be, hopefully not Nathan

"Hello? Are you guys in there?", Jamie's voice called out as he kept knocking and Anna stood up to open for him.

"Hi Jamie"

"Hi Ann", he smiled politely. "I have a package for Liv and I have to personally give it to her as Nathan's best man"

"Yeah sure, come in", she stood aside and invited him in, and I soon saw him walking towards me as I was still getting my make-up done while the pre-wedding shots were being taken by the photographer

"Olivia Davis", he gave a mini bow and I laughed as he presented me with a gift box, accompanied by a letter

"Oh shoot", I covered my mouth with my hands, remembering I forgot to sent out Nathan's gift through Tristan before he went to fetch my bouquet at the flower shop

"Is something wrong?", he asked worriedly as I accepted the gift from him and I shook my head

"Thank you for delivering this Jamie, but do you mind taking my gift back to Nathan? I forgot to send Tristan with it and as you can see Anna and I are not quite ready yet"

He let out an exaggerated, playful sigh. "I guess I can't say no, what the bride wants, the bride gets"

"Thank you", I smiled at him as I gave him Nathan's gift, and he gave a mini salute

"I'll see you later", he turned and walked out the door and Anna closed it behind him

"What in a box?", she hurriedly walked to me excitedly. "Go on now, open it"

I opened it to see it was a gorgeous diamond necklace and we both grasped at the sight of it

"Jesus!", Anna exclaimed as she trailed her fingers on it. "It's beautiful"

"It really is", I laughed a little as I gave it to her to unfold the letter in order to read it a loud

To my beautiful wife-to-be Olivia,

So I guess this is the final step in the completion of your journey of becoming Mrs McCarthy; this is it...it's our wedding day

You know, I didn't realize just how important you would be to me the first time I saw you. I mean a part of me already knew that things would never be the same again, but they got a lot clearer the night we met, my future was indeed promising with you in it. I can't even begin to describe to you just how excited I am about this lovely day because at the end of it all, I'll have the greatest honor of calling you my Wife.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again; I'm very lucky to have found you, and I'm looking forward to spending the rest of my life besides you, because of you I have reason to believe in all the wonderful things' life has to offer. May today be the beginning of the all the beautiful memories we are about to share, may today be the beginning of our forever

I love you Liv, and I can't wait to see you♡.

...........later on at the altar

All my love, Nathan

"Aww", we cooed in union as I felt tears sting my eyes and I had to look up in order to stop them from falling down my cheeks and ruin my make-up

"He's so sweet", Anna was also close to tears as we fanned each other's faces

"He really is", I laughed to myself and the make-up artist added the final touches before I got up to get ready

Jamie walked back into the hotel room as I just finished tucking my shirt in, and he walked over to help me put my tie on properly

"I just got a call from Kevin, letting me know that he'll meet us upfront at the church", I said and Jamie gave a little nod

"So Olivia...", he didn't even finish speaking I was already smiling ear to ear from the mention of her name

"What about her?"

"You know if I had my doubts about today they would totally diminish this very second judging from the wide grin on your face. You're definitely ready", he gave me a pat on the shoulder before handing me a gift box and a letter. "This is for you"

She bought me cuff links to accommodate my look for today and I opened the letter from her

•~•~•~

My darling Nathan,

I wasn't looking for anything at all when I met you but I managed to find everything. With you; it was just that easy, I didn't feel like I was forcing things and I think that's just how we began....by just doing us, the real us.

You're like a drug I couldn't get enough of, not that I wanted to though because everything just feels right with you, like it's almost meant to be. I know it hasn't been easy these past few months, and it's not going to be any easier from now on end, but I promise to stick by you till the end of time.

Thank you for putting up with me and always holding me up at my lowest. I know it hasn't been easy, but you kept holding on and never gave up on me like you promised you wouldn't. You've showed me so much love and patience and for that I'm eternally grateful. I could never match the amount of love and kindness you've given me, but I promise I'm always going to do my level best to keep our love alive and burning. Thank you for choosing me and for the best moments of my life. I love you Nathan, so so much.

All my love, Liv ♡

"I'm ready to marry this woman", I looked over at Jamie, and he smiled warmly

"Then, what are we still waiting for?"

"You're so gorgeous my darling", my mother was holding both my hands, admiring adoringly in my wedding dress as Anna was still adjusting the headpiece on my head. Instead of a veil, I opted for a bridal crown headband to add that classical antiquity to accommodate my trumpet wedding dress in decacent beading, with my hair tied up in an elegant high messy bun with a few strands hanging loosely on the side of my face.

"Thanks Mom"

"You certainly look like a bride babe", Anna hugged me from behind, and I gave her a little squeeze. Tristan knocked on the door before he walked in and closer it behind him, holding my bouquet in his hands.

"And now for the final touch", he gave it to me and I thanked him as I held it closer to me. Anna and my mother gave me the final hugs and kisses before they followed each other out since it was almost time, leaving me alone with Tristan.

"So, what'dya think?"

"You're exceptionally beautiful today", he flashed a bright smile in my direction as he twirled me a little

"Thank you", I was quite chuffed with myself because I looked and felt like a bride

"Just so you know if either of you runs away or walks away before the "I Do's", I personally haunt you down and drag you both to the altar again", he said humorously and I laughed

"I doubt that's going to happen"

"I hope not. You and Nathan deserve each other"

"Yeah", I turned to look at myself at the mirror to admire my reflection once more. It almost felt unreal that I was getting married today.

"Are you nervous?"

"A little", I laughed a little. "That's not at all weird right?"

"Not at all", he adjusted the necklace on my neck before trailing his hands down my arms and turned me around, cupping my face in his hands

"You're going to do good, don't worry"

"Thank you, Stan, for everything", I wrapped my arms around him in a hug, and he hugged me back tightly. "I don't think I would have been able to pull everything off on time if it wasn't for you"

"I'm your best man, so you know you can count on me", he chuckled softly as we withdrew from each other. "You know that there's absolutely nothing I wouldn't do for you because you know-"

"That's what friends are for", we both said in union and laughed

"Exactly", he took both my hands in his. "You know I'm always gonna care about you"

"I know", I gave his hands a gentle squeeze. "So will I"

There was a knock on the door before my father peeked in. "It's almost time, are you ready Pumpkin?"

I smiled. "As ready as I've ever been"

"Okay that's my cue, I'll see you in a few minutes", Tristan air kissed both my cheeks before turned to leave and my father walked in with me already holding out both my hands at him and I could see he was already fighting the tears in his eyes

"You're so beautiful", he croaked out as he took my hands in his. "I didn't think I'd be giving my little girl away so soon"

He took out his handkerchief and wiped his eyes and my lip was already quivering so that I don't cry and ruin my make-up

"You're going to make me cry", I laughed while looking up, and he laughed, pulling me in for a hug and kissed my forehead

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I promised myself I wouldn't do this", he laughed a little while composing himself. "Alright pumpkin, let's walk you down that aisle"

The sound of the piano playing as my father were approaching made me even nervous that I had ever been. It was going to be all eyes on me the second I came into sight and I just hoped I don't trip and fall. I tightened my grip on my Dad's arm, and he gave my hand a gentle pat, mouthing I should take a slow deep breath.

The church doors opening slowly and everyone standing on the feet as we walked in was nerve wrecking for a second, but that feeling quickly went away when I locked eyes with him, already having a bright smile on his face to cover up how emotional he was getting, looking rather handsome in the maroon suit he had on...really dreamy

Reaching the altar, my father gave me a quick kiss on the cheek before turning to give Nathan handshake

"Nathan, you might see her as the person who's about to become your wife and your lifetime partner, but she'll always be my little girl. I trust you enough to treat her like the queen she is", was all my father said when he handed me over.

"You have my word, Mr Davis", Nathan nodded his head at him before helping me up the altar and gave my hands a gentle squeeze

"You're more beautiful than I imagined you would be", he was looking at me with all the admiration in the world, giving me all the butterflies' life had to offer exploding in the pit of my stomach

"Honesty you're breathtaking", he raised my hand to his lips and kissed it tenderly, and I could feel my cheeks redding a little as I dropped my eyes from his gaze

"We're all gathered here today to join this man and woman together in holy matrimony", the priest begun with his sermon, Nathan and locked eyes for the longest time because it was really hard to look away. His holding stare was already in place, and I was already giving in, mostly because he was looking at me like I was the most beautiful thing he's ever seen.

"Does anyone here have any reason why these two shouldn't be joined together in marriage?", the priest asked aloud, and we all started looking around for any objections. "Please speak now or forever hold your peace"

"I don't think anyone does, please proceed", Kevin added chuckling, standing beside Jamie when no one dared to say anything and the guests started laughing

"Very well, may we have the rings please?", the priest request and both Jamie and Tristan stepped forward to place them in the center of his bible before he continued with his sermon

"Do you Nathaniel Anthony McCarthy, take Olivia Davis to be your wedded wife? To have and to hold, from this day forward do you promise to love her faithfully, cherish and honor her, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, forsaking all others for as long as you both shall live?"

"Oh God yes, I do. A million times yes", Nathan breathed out, almost like his been waiting a long time to say it out loud.

"Do you Olivia Davis, take Nathaniel Anthony McCarthy to be your wedded husband? To have and to hold, from this day forward do you promise to love him faithfully, cherish and honor him, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, forsaking all others for as long as you both shall live?"

"I do, with my entire heart and soul, I do yes", I said evidently loud and Nathan's smile broaden on his face as he took my hand in his

"I give you this ring as a remainder of my promises to you and the unwavering bond between us. You'll always have a reminder close to you that you'll always be in my heart, always and forever", he slipped the three stones diamond ring on my finger and I grasped at how beautiful it looked. He had picked it out himself, and I hasn't seen it yet.

"It's stunning babe", I mouthed, smiling ear to ear and he kissed my fourth finger, where he had placed the ring. I took his hand in mine to slip the wedding band onto his finger.

"I give you this ring as a symbol of my love, and as it encircles your finger, may it remind you that you're surrounded by my enduring love for you"

I covered my hand around his, lifting it to my lips and placed a soft kiss on his ring finger and he smiled, putting his hand out to me

"Just me and you?"

"Together forever", I did the same for our signature dab, entwining both our hands together when we were done.

"By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife", the priest announced happily and Nathan and I faced each other again. "Nathaniel, you may now kiss your lovely bride"

"Mr McCarthy", I said curtly, tugging my lips up in a side side, and he smirked in my direction

"Mrs McCarthy", he grabbed my face in his hands and leaned in for a kiss, sealing all the lifetime promises we made to each other and becoming one. Everyone started clapping in the background. I would say that that how the story ends, but honestly it was only the beginning

....of the rest of our lives together
