I woke up with a smile on my face. Today was the big day. I was about to get married. I climbed out of the hotel bed stretching my body. "You up now" Amber said smiling. She ran over and hugged me. I returned the hug, but I was confused on why she was hugging me. "I never had so much fun in my life" she said. I laughed. "Me either" I said. "And last night is our little secret I don't think Rachel even remember what happened last night" Amber said. "Our little secret" I said. I'm happy me and Amber is seeing eye to eye. I guess she wasn't trying to get cussed out either. "Now that we clear on that lets go get glamorous" she said pulling me towards the door.

After I was dressed it was time for my wedding. I thought about everything I been through. The good times and the bad. My life has been on a roller coaster. Me and Rari had a hell of a ride. Now, here I am four years later about to marry every girl's dream guy. "You look beautiful sis" Chris said. I smiled from ear to ear. "Thank you Chris" I said. "You ready for this" he said smiling. "I'm nervous, but I think I'm ready" I said. He laughed. "Don't leave Rari at the altor" he said laughing. I laughed. "Hell no he would kill me you know how hard it was to get that nigga to go buy a suit" I said laughing. "Terra I know we ain't had the best relationship as a brother and sister should have and I just want to let you know that I love you" he said. "I'm sorry for everything that went down in that house you didn't deserve none of that shit, and with that being said I'm forever proud of you ma" he said tearing up. "Oh my god please don't cry Chris you gone make me cry and mess up my makeup" I said smiling trying hide the tears that was trying to come. "My bad, but let me get out here before Rari think I left" he said wiping his eyes. I pulled him in for a hug. This felt like the longest hug in the world. I embraced this moment. You would never really know when moments like this would ever happen again. "See you out there" he said kissing my forehead and walking out the room. I went and took a seat in front of the mirror. For the first time in a long time I actually felt beautiful. Couldn't nobody mess this day up for me.

"You look amazing" Rio said standing behind me. I looked at him through the mirror. He held a small box in his hand. "Thank you" I said cracking a smile."You look amazing as well too" I said. "I can't stay Terra" he said. My smile immediately faded. I turned around to look him in his face. He looked like he didn't sleep good last night. "Why not Rio" I said sadly. "I can't watch another man marry a woman that I have fallen in love with" he said. "Rio" I said. "Here ma" he said handing me the small box he held. I opened the box and it was a ring. I gasped."what's this" I said looking at the diamonds. Engraved on the inside of the ring it read "one day". It was so beautiful. "I should of gave it to you sooner" he spoke softly. "Maybe that could of been me out there" he added. I ignored his last comment.

"Rio I can't accept this" I said being honest. "It's a gift Terra, but I'm not about to hold you" he said. "Plus it's a going away present I was thinking about the shit you said last night and you was right so I'm falling back as in I'm leaving out of your life type shit" he added. As much as I didn't want Rio to leave I nodded in agreement. He was right I did like him. Last night was an accident, but it was a big relief. "Before I go I got one question" he said. "I'm listening" I said. "Would it ever be a us" he asked. I thought hard. Would I ever date Rio? Before I could even answer he shook his head and walked away. Little did I know this was the last time I saw Rio.

I looked down at the ring. "He got you another ring" Rari father said breaking my train of thoughts. I quickly put the ring up. "Uh yea" I said lien. "How are you going to keep up with all of them" he said laughing. I smiled. Only if he knew. "You ready" he said holding his hand out. My father wasn't here to walk me down the aisle, but I see Rari father as my father. I was going to ask Chris, but he was one of Rari's best man's. "I'm kind of nervous" I said. Getting married is amazing, but I was so nervous. This is life changing. "It's okay to be nervous Terr you know I was nervous when I first married Rari's mother" he said walking over to me. "I was afraid of the "big step" but, then I remember how much I loved her, and this was going to be the greatest thing in my life" he said putting his hand on my shoulder. "What I'm trying to tell you Terra is that Rari is probably nervous too, but he is standing out there, because he loves you so he put his nervousness aside to make you happy" Rari father said. Thinking about Rari did make me happy. He was my everything. "I'm ready" I said standing up. "Good, don't want my son getting cold feet waiting" he said smiling.

I walked side by side with Rari's father. I heard Adore you by Miley Cyrus playing softly through the speakers. I loved this song. This moment was absolutely perfect. I couldn't have asked for anything more. I watched Ja'riya throw flowers each walk we took. When I approached Rari his father let my hand go. Rari took place of his hands. I looked the man I loved dearly in his eyes. "You look beautiful T" Rari said sending chills down my spine. He made me feel like a little girl all over again. Standing here made me think of when we first started dating. I started to tear up. "T what's wrong" he spoke softly. "I'm happy" I said with tears of joy. He smiled so hard.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in the sight of God, and in the presence of family and friends to join together this man and this woman in Holy Matrimony, which is commended of St. Paul to be an honorable estate, instituted of God and therefore is not to be entered into unadvisedly or carelessly, but reverently, joyfully and in the love of God. Into this holy estate these two persons present come now to be joined" the minister said clearly. "Jesus Christ Reminds us, that at the beginning the Creator made us male and female , and said, For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh.

God loved us, and created us to love others. Our lives find completion only as we love and are loved in return. Together, we can become what we could never be separately. Marriage is of God" he added.

I handed my bouquet of flowers to my bridesmaid. "Terra and Ja'Rari Williams come today desired to be united in this sacred relationship" he said placing my hands with Rari's. "The couple has written they own vows" the minister said.

Rari looked me in my eyes. "T I stand here before you a changed man. I was a boy when I met you T now I'm ready to be a man. We been through hell and back and you managed to still stand by my side. You are the mother of my child and about to officially be my wife. Ive noticed how deep in love I am with you. You are my life line. I would lay down and die for you. I loved you from the beginning and I promise to love you until I take my last breath. I wouldn't trade you for anything in the world" Rari said letting a tear fall. I wiped his tear that ran down his smooth face.

I took a deep breath. "Ja'rari I would like to thank you. For making me become the woman I am today. You gave me a reason to live. Baby you make me feel like the luckiest woman in the world. It's like you saw right through the pain I held. You loved me through all the times I have cried, doubted myself, and started to give up. You gave me strength and courage. I would always ask "why me" and you would simply say "why wouldn't it be you" those words warmed my heart. You put your all into me and, I thank you for that. If I could, I would say yes to you a thousand times again. I promise to love you until my last breath." I said crying. Rari placed another ring upon my finger. This one was a eighteen carat ring. I then placed his ring upon his finger.

"Do you Ja'rari take Terra to be your wife" he asked Rari. "I do" Rari said smiling.

"Do you Terra take Ja'rari to be your husband" he asked me. "I do" I said smiling.

"You may now kiss the bride".

And with those words Rari pulled me close and kissed me like we was the only people in the room.

This is going to be forever.
