Chapter 80

"This dress makes you shine. I adore it!" Harper gushed as I looked at my wedding dress in the mirror. I designed it myself. I had always had this image of the perfect wedding dress for myself, and I was glad that I managed to bring it to life. I didn't like bright white dresses, so when I designed my dress, I chose an ivory shade. It was an off- shoulder dress with a cape that was connected to the shoulders. It was fully beaded, but the beads started to fade until they no longer existed at the very end of the chiffon skirt. It was tight from the waist to give my body a nice shape, but I chose the A- line style for the skirts.

"I'm in love with it." I smiled, looking at my reflection in the mirror. My heart was beating so fast. There was no valid reason for my nervousness. Julian and I had known each other for years. Not to mention the fact that we had been living with each other for almost a year. D jumping out of my body.

"You look beautiful, Mom!" Rosie exclaimed. Lately, she had been calling me 'Mom' instead of 'Mommy'. Although I was aware that this transition was bound to happen, I couldn't help but miss the way she used to

call me 'Mommy'. It felt like she was growing up so fast. I needed time to slow down.

"Thank you, cupcake." I widely smiled at her.

"Are you having cold feet?" Rose joked, making me laugh. If she had asked me that during my first wedding, I would have said yes. In fact, I would have told her that all I wanted was to run away and disappear from the entire planet. Today, all I wanted was to walk down the aisle to my soon-to-be husband. I couldn't wait until I was officially his wife.

"Not at all. I'm really excited," I admitted. Saying that out loud made me blush.

"Do you have your something blue?" Maya asked me. I had postponed my wedding until she gave birth because I wanted her to fully enjoy the day.

"Yes." I pointed to the small blue crystal in my bouquet.

"Something borrowed?" Harper wondered and I pointed to the earrings Rose gave me five days ago.

Something old?" Rosie asked.

"Here it is," I pointed to the two bobby pins studded with diamonds in my hair. They belonged to my mum. I liked having something she owned with me. "Something new?" Harper asked.

"Got it." I smirked. I wasn't going to give more details while my daughter was around. My underwear was my something new.

A knock made all of us look at the door. Maya opened the door and Sam walked inside.

"It's time," he said, then looked at me. "Oh my God... Emily, you look absolutely gorgeous!"

"Thank you." I grinned at my best friend.

"Come here." Sam walked over to me and gave me the tightest hug he had ever given me. Sam and I had gone a long way and without him, I would never have been able to make it. He

was the brother I never got to meet when I was young, but fate decided to bring us together years later.

We all headed out of the room. First, the groomsmen took their place, followed by the groom. Afterwards, the bridesmaids walked down the aisle. My heartbeats accelerated. Julian and I hadn't seen each other in more than twenty-

four hours, and I couldn't wait to see him waiting for me at the end of the aisle. My little girl walked down the aisle, scattering flower petals here and there.
