trying my hardest not to fall apart but everyone is making it impossible for me.
Having everyone around me who loves me, who is excited for this wedding, and who wants me and Marc to succeed, makes this feel even a more special day to me. I would always pick this over a big flash wedding filled with people I barely know any day. This is intimate and sweet, this is just for me and Marc, to really express our love for one another.
“I love that elegant gown on you,” Marc comments as soon as I meet him at the other end of the aisle. “You look like a freaking goddess at the moment.”
I smile from ear to ear, noticing the first trickle of a tear running down my face. A happy tear though, I’m crying because I’m the happiest woman alive right now.
“You don’t look too bad yourself,” I reply thickly. “Wow!”
We don’t get to talk much more because the priest starts up with his speech and it’s time for us to get married. An electric current run between us as I hold hands with Marc, listening to the words of the priest and repeating parts when we are supposed to. Everything out about our wedding ceremony, aside from where it is, is pretty traditional which is one of my only requests. I really think that there is something magical about the traditional words anyway, but since Marc and I have done everything backwards, so it’s a nice sensation for us to at least do something in the right way.
“You may now kiss the bride!”
As soon as those words are uttered, Marc spins me around and dips me low, making a big dramatic show of kissing me. I half want to laugh because he’s so funny, to cry because I’m so emotional, and to jump for joy because finally I have everything that I want.
“I love you, wifey,” Marc declares the moment we pull apart. “Now let’s go party.”
“Wait.” I keep hold of his hand tight while I straighten up, keeping him in place for a moment. His expression is so shocked I almost start laughing. “Don’t worry, I’m not about to run off or anything. It would be a bit late now, anyway! We’re married. No, there is something that I just wanted to tell you.” I suck in a breath, trying to prepare myself for this announcement. I’m so excited and I know that he will be as well, I’m just the tiniest bit nervous of how he’s going to take this now. “I recently found something out, this morning actually.” I grin at him, trying my hardest to reassure him that everything is going to be okay. “I found out that I’m pregnant again. We’re having another baby.”
The first guttural cry that I hear comes from my mother. I knew that this would get to her and it really has. I want to go and hug her, but I’m too rapidly enveloped by Marc who I think might be weeping again.
“We’re having another baby?” he chokes out. “Are you serious? That’s so amazing. I mean, every single day you find a way to make me happy, but this… this is just incredible.” He pulls back and grins at me. “I can’t believe I get to have another child to love.”
“I’m going to be a big brother again?” Travis calls out with excitement. “I can’t wait.”
He joins in the hug with us and I embrace them both together, admiring how far we have all come in such a short time. It has only been eighteen months really, even if it feels like a lifetime, but it’s been the best experience of my whole life, and I just know that it’s only going to get better from here on out. We both and our ever expanding family will only get better and closer with every single passing day.
“I love you so much.” He rests his forehead against mine and smiles, the intense powerful love flowing between us as he does. “You are my happy ever after.”
“That’s exactly how I feel about you too.” I tell him. “And I will keep loving you forever.”
