I was standing in front of full length mirror, when I heard my name being called.

"Are you read- wow" my best friend Freya said as I turned around to face her.

"You look beautiful Olivia" tears inside her eyes.

I tilt my head smiling at her, "I'm nervous"

"It's natural getting nervous on your wedding day" she said in a duh tone, as she came and stood next to.

We looked into the mirror, "time flies so fast" I whisper

I still remember that day clearly. The day he said I love you for the first time. I remember how shocked I was, I thought he read my mind because I was just thinking of saying that to him.

How happy he was when I said, "I love you too" He lifted me in his arms swirling around telling again and again how happy and relieved he was to hear it. He asked me to move in with him and I couldn't say no.

These 3 years of complete bliss, we had our ups and downs but we fought through everything and stayed strong than ever. Endless laughter and love. I never loved someone so much.

I was sitting with Mrs Williams sipping our tea when Lily came running followed by Charles.

"Hello Mrs Williams" Charles greeted but Mrs Williams embrace him in a motherly hug

"What are you doing here?" I asked him. He had a meeting this morning

"I wanted to take you somewhere but before that I wanted to have some private words with Mrs. Williams" He said gazing at Mrs Williams asking if that's ok

"Umm ok. I will wait outside" I stood up from the chair curiously eyeing the pair

It was just five minute when Charles and Mrs Williams came out of the office

"It was nice meeting you Mrs Williams and thank you for the advice" Charles place his hands on my back as we started to walk towards his car

"Where are you taking me?" I asked even though I know he won't tell me

"You will know" he smirked as he opened the door for me

It was approx. half an hour drive when a car suddenly enter a small alley which was covered with trees and bushes making it look like a tunnel

Unsure I turned to look at Charles a smile playing on his lips

"Okay I cannot handle it anymore. Just tell me" I groaned

"just there" he stopped the car in front of a house, a very big and beautiful house

"Are we visiting someone?" I asked with my eyebrows crunched

Charles stepped out and opened the door for me.

"Liv, I bought this house for us" Charles said looking at me as he grabbed my hand stepping forward

I was staggered and I could not stop looking at this beautiful house

"Umm, say something. Did you not like it?" his eyes nervous and concern

"I am, I am surprised. I mean I-I didn't. I loved it" I looked at him with water in my eyes.

He smiled brightly in return then we started walking inside.

I was looking around the kitchen, hall and all the rooms.

A small bedroom caught my attention.

"Charles this bedroom-" my voice died in my throat as I saw the scene in front of me.

Charles was on his knees as he pulled out a small box from his pocket, a blue velvet box, opening it slowly to reveal a beautiful ring.

"Charles" I gasped in shock

He looked all flushed and very nervous

"Olivia, you know I love you. I love you with all my heart. And you make me the happiest person. And I want that happiness for eternity" clearing his throat he said, "WILL YOU MARRY ME?"

I looked at him, my eyes filling up with water.

"Yes yes yes" I heard everyone shouting when I look around, our friends were witnessing this whole scene

"Oh my god, yes, yes. Thousand times yes" I said grabbing his arms to lift him up, I hugged him tightly as tears of joy trailing on my cheeks.

He slipped the ring on my finger and cup my face giving a long kiss.

"Yeahhh" Freya exclaimed happily making us pull apart and look at her.

"You were a part of this too huh" I playfully glared ar her as she laughed loudly.

The ring was absolutely beautiful. It glisten with a mix of blue and green. Color of our eyes.

I placed my hand on my heart, calming it. My hands are sweaty my mind is blur.

"You're going to be fine" Sarah joined us as behind her trail her son, Jacob.

"Aunt Olivia you look so much like the princess in the TV" Jacob said making my smile turn wider.

"Oh honey. Thank you" I kneeled down to kiss his cheeks.

The door open as Mrs Williams and Pearls walked in.

"Oh" Mrs Williams gasp, "Aren't you the most beautiful bride" she came and hugged me.

"You're just like what I have imagined" she kiss my forehead, patting my cheeks.

"Thankyou ma"

When we were planning for the wedding, I request Charles if we could marry in Orphanage. This place means so much to me and Charles happily agreed to it.

Freya and Sarah are my bridesmaids and Mrs Williams will walk me down the aisle. She is my only parent.

"My son is one lucky guy" Pearl hugs me, "welcome to the family"

"Thank you Pearl" I straightened my wedding gown and was ready to go.

"Whenever you're ready" Mrs Williams said smiling at me.

Taking a deep breath, I held her hand as the door open. I took a step forward, soft orchestra song started to play. Heart beating wildly but as I looked up to see the man standing there up surrounded by his best mates. My heart calms down, I can see nothing but only him. That how handsome he is looking at his black tux and the look in his eyes when his eyes landed on me.

Mrs Williams stopped when we reached the stage, "I wish you the best" she took my hand and placed it on Charles hand.

"Hello there"

"Hi" I mumble shyly

"Shall we begin?" The priest asked looking at both of us.

We nodded our head.

"Today we have gathered here to witness the union of Mr Charles Maxwell and Miss Olivia Evans in marriage. With love and commitment, they have decided to live their lives together as husband and wife." The priest made us took our vows.

"Mr Charles Maxwell, do you take Olivia Evans to be your wedded wife, to live together in marriage? Do you promise to love her, comfort her, honor and keep her for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health, and forsaking all others, be faithful only to her, for as long as you both shall live?"

"I do" Charles said as he kept looking into my eyes.

"Olivia Evans, do you take Charles Maxwell to be your wedded husband to live together in marriage? Do you promise to love him, comfort him, honor and keep him for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health and forsaking all others, be faithful only to him so long as you both shall live?"

"I do" I said as a single tear streamed down my face.

"I now pronounce you both husband and wife. You may kiss the bride"

Charles didn't waste a minute before grabbing my waist and pulling me in for a kiss.

"Bro save some for honeymoon" Brandon said loudly as everyone laughed

I pulled back, my face turning red, embarrassed

Everyone were dancing when Brandon and Luke approached me.

"Here have your wedding cake" Brandon gave me a slice of cake in a plate

"God thank you, I was starving" I looked at him thankful

"Funny, the bride is starving at her own wedding" Luke chuckle as he sat next to me.

"My heels are killing me, and I might trip in this gown" I muffled as I ate my cake.

"You look pretty" Brandon bump his shoulder with mine.

"Oh is that a compliment I hear?" I teased him

He shakes his head.

"Luke, I saw you came alone. Where is the new girl that you're seeing? Hayley?"

"She went to her parents' house. Some other day maybe" he shrug his shoulder.

"I have to make an announcement" Charles stood there on stage, he smiled looking at me, "a wedding present for my beautiful bride"

I smiled back at him, feeling excited.

"You're gonna love it" Brandon put his arms around my shoulder

"When I first met Olivia, I didn't know much about her but as we started bumping into each other life again and again, I came to know how much she loves those kids in orphanage. Especially Lily. So I asked Mrs Williams if we could adopt Lily and be her legal parents as soon as we marry"

I was froze, did I hear right?

"Mommy" Lily exclaimed as she started running towards me.

My heart swells hearing her say mommy to me. She hugged my legs.

I started crying, "say that again baby" I bent down to pull her in my arms

"Mommy" she giggle

Charles came and stood in front of us.

"I hope you like my gift" he smiled.

"I love you" I kissed him. This man, yes this man never fails to make me happy.

"I love you too"

"Time for the bride and groom dance" Brandon announced as he took Lily with him while Charles held my hand walking towards the stage.

All of me started playing as he placed my hands around his shoulder and put his hands on my waist.

How many times do I have to tell you

Even when you're crying, you're beautiful too?

The world is beating you down

I'm around through every mood

You're my downfall, you're my muse

My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues

I can't stop singing, it's ringing in my head for you

My head's under water

But I'm breathing fine

You're crazy, and I'm out of my mind

'Cause all of me loves all of you

Love your curves and all your edges

All your perfect imperfections

Give your all to me, I'll give my all to you

You're my end and my beginning'

Even when I lose, I'm winning'

'Cause I give you all of me

And you give me all of you, oh-oh

We danced, every lyrics hitting right in my heart.

Lily came running towards us as Charles picked up in his arms and we danced together.

Smiling faces everywhere, Freya and Aaron looking at each other laughing and smiling, Brandon standing next to Sarah with Jacob in his arms. Charles's parents standing with Mrs Williams, looking at us smile on their face.

All the people that matters to me are here. My heart is full of happiness and joy, I have never been this happy. Love of my life standing here with me and Lily my daughter, I wouldn't have asked for anything more than this.

Finally I have my own family.
