Chapter 4The WeddingSpeaker: Darleen (I promise, the next chapter will be in Greg or Lizzie's POV)Note: The marrying pics are kinda messed up because I didn't get a pic of Darleen putting the ring on Greg's finger.1 month went by fast. The month had been used to plan Greg and my wedding. And today is the day Greg and I get married. It is also the day I am 3 1/2 months pregnant, and it hard to believe in less than 6 months my babies will be born. Yes, babies. The last time I went to the doctors for a checkup, he told me I'm having twins.
The guest are arriving. Oh, I'm just a bundle of nerves right now. Everything's planned, but I'm still nervous that something will go wrong. Greg invited his sister, I invited a few of our friends, and Lizzie invited one of her little classmates. But wait...there's a guy approaching who no one invited. Now that I take a look at his face, he looks around his late forties, and if my dad was still alive, this guy would probably be him. "Darleen..." his voice sounded soft yet hard.
"Darleen," now he said it louder. Without thinking, I let out the words "Daddy. But, but I thought you were gone." I felt tears streaming down my face, my mascara running along with the tears.
I ran to him. I ran to him and wrapped my arms around him tightly for a while, like if I let go he'd be gone and I'd wake up, and this would all be a dream. But I let go finally, and he wasn't gone. It wasn't a dream.
The wedding finally went on after daddy and I caught up a little. I forgot about all the times he wasn't there, about every time I'd awake from a dream about him crying, about all the times I missed him. I cleaned my face and he walked me down the isle, and I said my vows, which I almost forgot because of all the worrying and drama. "Greg Wallis, I promise to love you forever, to be by your side for all times. Through the sadness, the happiness, the illness, the healthiness, the rough, and the easy. I will respect you and expect to be respected back. I put this ring on your finger as a symbol of my love and joining to you."
And Greg said his vows, which he said like he'd been practicing them for a million years. "Darleen Vabe, I loved you from the minute I saw you and I always will. I will respect you and be by your side. I'll be there at hard times, sad times, happy times, easy times, ill times, I will be there for you for as long as we both live. I put this ring on your finger as a symbol of my love and joining to you."
I leaned forward, he leaned forward. We both leaned forward until we were kissing. People started clapping and our lips parted.
I felt tears running down my face again. Tears of joy, of coarse. All the times I had cried that day were tears of joy.
I cut the cake(and stuffed a bite of it in Greg's mouth),
I opened presents,
And about every person there talked to my belly or felt one of the babies kick. Also, I swear Dad flirted with Elizabeth, one of my friends, and Lizzie would say, marjory Bleh with a capital B!
This was the happiest day of my entire life. And I didn't want it to ever end, but too soon it began to become dark. I retired to the bedroom, put my vial in a box, hung my dress in the dresser, and put on my pyjamas. I sat in the bed and pulled the covers over me, then slowly let my weariness take over.
