The wedding day

Today was the day, we were finally getting married. I was a nervous wreck, I seriously could not ease my nerves. Yes I was getting married to the man of my dreams, My soulmate but I was truly scared. I couldn't wait though, to finally call him my husband, mine forever. That brought a smile on my face.

I was sitting on the bed waiting for the ladies to help me get ready after my long deserved bath. The door opens and Donna pops her head in the room and smiles, "time to get you ready" I smile as well. She has been so supportive and truly the best this whole time. I think she is more excited that we will officially be sisters. Well in-laws but it still counts.

All ladies come in smiling. "You look so beautiful already" Grandma says smiling at me. "I only took a bath" I say giggling. "Natural beauty sweetheart" she says flicking her afro. I laugh shaking my head. "Hows Dante and Nico, do they need anything?" Donna smiles "they are fine, Nico is currently taking a nap" I smile.

I last saw my baby boy two hours ago since Dante insisted he get ready with him. He said its a boys thing that he gets ready with him, I doubt it but I know he wanted some father son time, so I let him get ready with Nico.

My phone rings and its Dante, we haven't actually seen each other since a day ago and I hate but apparently its damn tradition. Dante calls every two hours just to talk about anything though as long as he hears my voice. I think he is nervous as well.

I answer the call while the ladies were deciding how my makeup should look. "Hi" a prominent smile stuck on my face. "Hi Gattina, are you okay?" I lightly laugh "Im okay, just nervous" he sighs "I'm nervous myself" he says in a almost quiet tone.

I frown feeling uneasy "W-why?" I ask not truly wanting to know why. "I'm scared you will back out" he says. We both are silent on the phone for a minute "do you think I would?" He sighs "I hope not, I know you love me and all but I want you to be sure that you want me" He was scared that I would reject him and how could I? When he is everything to me, my strength, my love and my hope. I could never see myself without him. We literally have a kid together.

I feel myself tearing up. " I don't know if I ever told you this Dante but I want you, just you and no one else. I also have a child with you if you haven't noticed" he chuckles on the phone. "I want you baby" he sighs "I want you too" he says sounding more sure. "So are we good now?" I ask smiling, swinging my legs feeling more confident than ever. " we have always been good Gattina"

"Good then, let me get ready to marry you Sir" he chuckles "I thought I told you only my employees call me Sir" I laugh remembering. "Whatever, I have to go, tell Donna if the baby needs anything, I miss you guys so much" "we miss you too, he just woke up and is currently sucking the hell out of his pacifier"

I laugh "get my baby his milk Dante" he chuckles "okay okay, I love you" I smile "I love you too" "come on Dante! She needs to get ready!" Donna yells tapping her foot. He chuckles "I'll see you soon babygirl" "Alright, bye love" I drop the phone smiling.

"You almost looked like you were going to cry there for a minute" Katrina says looking concerned. I shrug, "We were both nervous, I got scared but we had to remind ourselves why we are doing this" I say sighing contently. "Lets get ready ladies!" The all laugh.

"We love a happy bride" Kathy says squealing. After an hour, my hair and make up was done and it was time to put on the dress. The door opens and Micheal comes in a black suit. "Im not late am I?" We all laugh, and shake our heads no. Micheal wanted to be with me when Im fully dressed, to see the whole bridal look.

I go to the dressing room and put on the beautiful crystal dress. I could not see myself in any other dress but this one. I loved the way it sparkled, I felt like I was cinderella. I brush out the dress smiling at myself. Leaving the dress room, they all gasp and start. "Please don't cry you guys, I'll cry and then I'll ruin Donnas masterpiece". I say looking on the side.

"Now can you help me zip up" Katrina goes behind me and zips up the dress. "You really look beautiful Nicole, Dante is one luck man" I smile at her "and so is Damian" she laughs "Oh he knows" I laugh. "Last but not least, here" Donna gives me a black velvet box. I raise an eyebrow. "Its from your fiancé" I smiles and open it. Its a necklace, a very shiny necklace. "Its so beautiful" there is a note on the corner.

One of the many gifts you will be receiving as my wife, get used to it. I love you.

I chuckle shaking my head. That is so like him. "Can you put it on me?" Donna nods and puts the beautiful necklace on my neck, its so perfect with my dress. " did he pick it up or did you do it" Donna laughs, "he did I was shocked myself. He is really growing up." "Donna he is older than you" she shrugs smirking.

I look at grandma who has been silently crying. "Are you okay nonna?" She has a wobbly smile on her. "I always wanted this, this moment watching you get married. From the day I saw you, I only wished for this day. And now here you are" I kiss her forehead trying to hold my tears back.

"Im happy you are here with me" I say linking our foreheads. "Okay no more crying lets get you fully ready, its almost time. I smile and sit while Micheal puts on my heels, I thank him and he takes photos of all of us getting ready.

After a while, there is a knock on the door. Diego's' head pops in. "You ready Piccolo?" He says without seeing me. His eyes finally reach me and the look he had made me feel warm, its a look every daughter wants to see from her father. The look of pure happiness and love.

"You look beautiful little one, my son better treat you like the Queen you are or I'll shoot him myself" I laugh shaking my head. "Thank you Pops" he goes to kiss Francesca telling her she looks pretty in her black dress. Everyone does their last touch up, wish me good luck and leave. "Its time to go" Grandma says.

I was walking down the aisle with my grandma. Diego and Francesca wish me well and leave. "Are you ready sweetheart?" I sigh " just a little nervous, I don't want to fall" she chuckles, you won't fall. I will be hold you the whole time" I smile and nod.

We were standing on the hallway waiting for the song to start. I closed my eyes trying to ease my nerves imagining Dantes face. "Remember sweetheart, you are marrying your soulmate, just look at him and everything else won't matter" I smile at her "Okay, Im ready"

Sarah cames to view, she smiles at me. "You look pretty Nicki" I smile at the little girl "Thank you honey" I kiss her forehead and goes to hold my dress at the "okay lets go" I nod to myself.

Que the song "The Line by Dvsn"

When we reach the aisle, everyone stands and I lift my eyes to look at Dante. He is holding our Son who is busy looking at his father. Dante has a full smile when he sees me. All doubts I had suddenly disappear and I know this is where I belong with that man wearing a beautiful all black suit.

He hands Nico to Damian and fully focuses on me "You look beautiful" he mouthed looking straight at me. "I love you" I finally reach him. The pastor speaks "who gives this Pretty lady to this man?" My Grandma speaks "I do" she kisses my cheek and looks at Dante. "Take care of her, you hurt her and you die" Dante chuckles "I will" he kisses her cheek and she hands me to him.

"Hi" I say smiling at him "Hi beautiful" "Everyone, please take a sit" once everyone sits, all is heard is my Nico making baby sounds. I smile at him and he smiles back at me. "We are gathered here today, to witness the union between Dante Diego Moretti and Nicole Jackson. You can now say your vows"

We turn and look at each other holding hands. "From the day I met you, I knew I had to make you mine. I knew you were meant for me, so I kept bothering you as much as possible for you to notice me. I cam to your Job, I made excuses to be around you, just to see you. When I couldn't handle the distance anymore I allowed myself to come for you, fight for you and that was the best decision I had ever made.

I never thought I deserved love being the man I am, who would love or accept me. But you did babygirl, you stuck by me even though you knew the real me. You loved all sides of me and I can never imagine how lucky I got. I promise to be there when you wake up and when you sleep, I promise to never leave you through any fight, any near death experience, I'll fight for you till the day I leave this earth and even when I do, I will still be yours till the next life. I love you il mio gattino"

I try to hold back my tears. "I never thought I would find love, growing up I never thought I deserved to be loved by anyone. But then I met you, and even though I tried to fight off this feeling I knew I was yours and you were mine. You saw something in me, you saw the real me when no one else could, you became my savior, my hope and my love. My partner in crime" he chuckles "literally, you blessed me with love and family. You blessed me with a family, something I lacked my whole life. I am truly blessed to have you and that little boy. I promise to stay faithful, to love you, to have more of your children and to be yours forever. I love you Dante"

He smiles at me, the pastor speaks again "The rings please, now repeat after me"

"I take you Nicole Jackson, to be my my wife. To have and to hold from this day forward for better, or worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part" he puts my second twin ring.

I say the same while putting his ring on. "You may now kiss the bride" he smirks "Finally" he holds the side of my face and kisses me passionately. I could hear everyone clapping in the back. I smiled through the kiss as he finally let go. "I now pronounce Mr and Mrs Moretti"

We turn to face the crowd and everyone claps while standing up. I turn to see the girls and Micheal. "Congratulations you two" the pastor says behind us "Thank you so much" I say smiling at him. We walk down as flowers are thrown at us. Dante whispers on my ear, "can I make love to you now?" I giggle "Not yet Mister" he chuckles.

"Okay lets get this over with, then" I elbow him. "Be patient" we both laugh and head to the reception.
