~Chapter 7~

Victoria led me through the hotel down towards the back exit onto the beach. It wasn’t difficult knowing where to go because as soon as we reached the downstairs lobby a trail of white and fuchsia flower petals pointed the way outside. The flower petals continued out over the sand on the beach down towards the water.

Victoria and I walked along, arm in arm, while the three small dogs kept up behind us.

As soon as I stepped outside, I felt the hot, sticky air on my skin. The sun shone brightly even though there was a gathering of dark clouds throughout the sky. The humidity in the air hung wet on my skin and my mouth became moist. I was glad my wedding dress was light enough that I was comfortable.

Walking further, we came into view of the arch by the water. As I got closer, I noticed a number of people sitting and waiting for me. As I got closer, I noticed familiar faces. Ellie and Ty were the first ones I saw. Ellie was in a breezy summer dress and her hair was piled in a messy bun on top of her head. She waved at me and mouthed the word ‘beautiful’.

As I stood on the path of petals, the music began. I couldn’t see where it was coming from, but someone was playing the ukulele while another person played the maracas.

Looking back up I saw him. Jason stood at the end of the path, as handsome as I had ever seen him. He was painfully casual wearing his navy blue suit (with no tie) and his bare feet in the sand. He was handsome, fresh, and waiting for me.

My heart skipped a beat and I swallowed.

“Ready?” Victoria asked.

I nodded.

We began walking down the aisle.

For some reason, I assumed that while walking down the aisle, I would think about my future with Jason. But as I walked down the aisle, I was living in the moment, looking around at the familiar faces. Julia Stein and Simon Trotman both leaned in and whispered ‘Congratulations’. As I walked past them, I saw my co-worker, Casey who was standing with her girlfriend. I waved at her as I walked by. After, I saw Kathleen and Earl, Jason’s parents. With them was Jason’s grandmother, Nana. They were smiling as they watched me make my way down the aisle.

As I reached the end of the aisle, I noticed our large golden retriever, Destroyer, sitting patiently next to Jason.

They’re all here, I thought. Everyone I loved was here.

I looked up at Jason, who was now right in front of me, standing under the archway.

He reached for my hand as I made my way by his side.

“You look gorgeous,” he whispered. I smiled.

“Gorgeous for you.”

I couldn’t even describe what the officiant looked like because I was too lost in Jason’s eyes to notice. Even as the officiant spoke I was too busy to listen.

Jason’s gaze burned into me. He looked calm and cool, as he usually did, and even now, at our wedding on the humid beach, he wasn’t breaking a sweat.
