"What the fuck are you wearing?" He asks as his large hand covers one of my ass cheeks.

My panties immediately dampen.

"A dress." I whisper , not trusting my voice.

"You have no idea how much self control it took for me not to fuck you right there at the altar." His voice lowers.

Kimberly disturbs this transaction with a clearing of her throat.

"We have to get you guys ready for wedding pictures." She says.

And clicks away. This woman is really a wedding planner isn't she.

"We'll continue this conversation later." He says grabbing my ass again.

Damn man. I dont know what this man is doing to me.

Soon we walk out of the hotel and onto the outdoor garden. We are led down a narrow walkway which is made from stone and grass on either side .

The short walk way open ups to a big garden full of different types of flowers and trees.

The camera man gets a few unexpected shots of us walking hand in hand near him . Then we dig right into the real thing .

After telling us to pose for overan hour. I head into the hotel foyer and find Kim nose deep in a black binder.

"Just in time." She says . And before I can say anything , she beats me to it .

"Here are some flats , I know your feet are probably aching from being that high . And the guests are soon heading up stairs to the ball room for the reception.

Wait thirty minutes and then be up ." She says and then she too , speed walks upstairs .

"Hey there . My name is Ace Bernett. Its pretty nice to meet you pretty lady." Ace says from behind me.

"Hello sir , I'm Cassandra Bernett. Its nice to meet you too sir ." I say chuckling.

"Oh , is that a ring on your finger?" He asks playfully .

"Is that one on yours?" I ask.

"Touchè. Your husband wanted me to tell you how gorgeous you look right now. Just here to pass the message ." He says , with a cute boyish smile .

"Oh , well tell him that his wife says thank you. Man its nice to call myself your wife ."I smile into the light peck he pops onto my lips .

Kim usher's us up and up we go . Wouldnt want to mess with Kim today . She's literally the boss today . Dont step on her toes.

Ace and I walk up the stairs and soon I'm breathing as loud as a hover.

"Exercise babe." Ace mumbles as he helps me up.

"Need I remind you that I am carrying a little human in my belly?" I ask , feeling annoyed.

When we finally reach the French door that opens up to the reception area .

Everyone is being served food and alcohol. Which by far would be the best thing right now.

We both walk in hand in hand to our little setting with a big Mr and Mrs Bernett behind us . Kim really went all out.

We're served the starter which are finger foods and soon the main is plated . I watch as many people eat and laugh with their friends . I look at Ace only to find him already looking at me.

I smile and he smiles back at me .

"You're beautiful." He says , but before I can reply we're served dessert and a few people are starting to want to talk to us .

I chow my dessert down so fast that I dont even taste the chocolate pudding and cherry .

Finally Ace and I stand and walk over to the front of the table , allowing the guests to congratulate us.

So many people I dont know and some that I'd seen on TV come over to congratulate us.

And finally and unexpectedly, Jason and Kayla appear , with Bailey and some blonde guy next to her .

"Congratulations you guys . "Jason says shaking Ace's hand and one arm hugs me .

Kayla just stares at me and says absolutely nothing . Which I take as a complement because of there was an issue on my , she'd have take advantage of it.

"Its time for the couple to have their first dance as Mr and Mrs Ace Bernett. " the clear voiced DJ announces .

Ace and I hold each other tightly as we begin to sway our bodies in rhythm with the music blasting from the speakers.

As we dance , I feel his arms around my waist . Holding me , and protecting me . The way he promised earlier today .

"Are you okay Mrs Bernett?" He asks .

"Now I could get used to that." I say then lick his earlobe.

He visually shivers . I watch as he squints his eyes in attempt to ignore the feeling I just made him feel and thanks to the close proximity that we're in , I can feel little him against little us.

"It is time for the traditional father-daughter dance." Tbe DJ exclaims .

I feel a bit empty knowing that both my parents are absent today . But I know dad is with me and mom has better things to do.

The song starts and I swear I almost pee my pants . Brian McKnight's Marry your daughter .

Sir I'm a bit nervous 'bout being here today

Still not real sure what I'm going to say

So bare with me please

If I take up too much of your time.

But you see in this box is a ring for your oldest.

She's my everything , and all that I know is

It would be such a relief

If I knew we were on the same side

Cause very soon I'm hoping that I

Could marry your daughter

And make her my wife

I want her to be the only girl

That I love for the rest of my life

And give her the best of me till the day that I die.

I wanna marry your princess

And make her my queen

She'll be the most beautiful bride that I've ever seen

I cant wait to smile

As she walks down the isle

On the arms of her father

On the day that I marry your daughter .

Ace and I sway back and forth as I listen to the lyrics of the song . Each word breaks my heart to know that my dad isn't here to marry me off to Ace .

And then suddenly I'm turnt to see the big projector, coming down the wall .

With multiple picture of my dad and I flashing by the screen .

And then the video where he taught me to ride a bike plays .

I feel the tears prickling at my eyes as I watch picture of dad and I playing , one of us in an amusement park , eating cotton candy. And the song just ties everything together.

She's been here every step since the day that I met her.

I'm scared to death to think of what would happen if she ever left .

So dont you ever worry about me

Ever treating her bad , no.

We've got most of our vows down so far

So bring on for better or worse

And till death do us part .

There's no doubt in my mind

It's time

I'm ready to start

I swear to you with all of my heart.

And as the chorus begins again , someone I never expected to see here appears .

Momma holding a giant white bouquet and Bethany holding a picture of my dad . I go full on tears .

I'm gonna marry your daughter

And make her my wife

I want her to be the only girl

That I love for the rest of my life

And give her the best of me till the day that I die .

I wanna marry your princess

And make her my queen

She'll be the most beautiful bride that I've ever seen

I cant wait to smile

As she walks down the aisle

On the arm of her father

On the day that I marry your daughter .

Momma gets even closer to me and my heart is literally in my ass as I wait for her to get here .

I dont know what to make of this moment .

The first time I saw her

I swear I knew

That I'd say I do.

I'm gonna marry your daughter

And make her my wife

I want her to be the only girl

That I love for the rest of my life

And give her the best of me till the day that I die

I wanna marry your princess

And make her my queen

She'll be the most beautiful bride that I've ever seen

I cant wait to smile

As she walks down the aisle

On the arm of her father

On the day that I marry your daughter .

Momma gets close to me and immediately pulls me into a suffocating hug. She kisses my forehead and I cry even harder .

This is all I've ever wanted . Another video of my dad plays .

The one from the barbeque .

I'm gonna marry your daughter

And make her my wife

I want her to be the only girl

That I love for the rest of my life

And give her the best of me till the day that I die.

The song ends . I turn to Ace and he's watching me with a bright smile.

I punch him on the arm. My tears prominent now and my face covered with a huge smile.

"Hey , I woke early and left you alone at night for a month trying to get those onto DVD from VHS and to convince your mom to fly over for your wedding . A thank you would be better than a smack on my fore arm." He says over the music that's playing.

"He really wanted me to be here for you Cassiey . I see why you love him so much and I see that he loves you too.

I'm sorry that I tried to control your life , I'm really sorry baby . And I promise , I'm going to do better as your mom." She says then hugs me .

"I'm just glad you and dad got to be here." I reply .

And I look at Ace , he seems so relaxed and happy, just freely staring at me .

"You've got a real man right here Cassiey . And you have got a good woman here Ace. Love each other and be there at all times. Even when you cant stand each other." She says the turns and leaves .

"You did that all for me?" I ask still baffled by what just happened .

From the song , to the slide show . To hearing my dad's voice from records I last watched when I was twelve.

To seeing him again , and experiencing the happiness that I felt when he was here for me in person.

I truly cant believe Ace did this . And to think that I thought he was cheating on me only to find out that he was arranging this just to make me , little old Cassiey , happy .

"Who else would I do it for?" He asks kissing my cheek .

"One last thing I want to show you." He says . Oh no , more surprises.

He walks me into an elevator and climbs up. Okay there's been an elevator all along and I've been walking up and down these stairs ? I'm gonna have Kim's balls tomorrow.

The elevator dings and opens up to a beautiful big library . With high ceilings and shelves which I slowly following the ceilings .

Ace pushes us further into the library, until we reach a little window , which right under it , is a little picnic planned out for us .

And a telescope. And a few snacks.

" We can star gaze the rest of the evening away ." He says kissing both my hands and leading me to the small oasis he has created for us .

It's safe to say that that was the best wedding I've been to and I have ever had.
