Everything was set. The garden had been transformed into a wonderful oasis for a marriage ceremony. The priest had already arrived, the family was gathered outside, waiting to see Bella and Nathan join in matrimony. Bella stood before the mirror, in awe of her reflection. Today, she was a bride. Her white dress hugged her curves lightly, her hair fell in delicate waves down her back, and her make-up was surprisingly neutral. The women of her family had done a wonderful job. “Ready?” The word sent chills down her spine. They weren’t chills of fear or apprehension, however. There were some nerves mixed in, but the excitement was almost tactile. Bella turned to look at her mother. She nodded while a small smile touched her lips. “Your father would’ve loved to see this day.” Bella smiled, a little sadness crossing her eyes. “I know,” she said. “But I still have my mother to walk me down the aisle.” She chuckled a bit while her mother’s arms enveloped her. hey left the house together and walked towards the garden. Every step of the way, Bella felt her heartbeat grow stronger, faster. She hoped Nathan would like the way she looked. She hoped with all of her might that they would have a happy marriage, that today would mark the beginning of forever. Gods, she hoped he wouldn’t regret marrying her.
As Bella and Rosa arrived at the garden, and all eyes turned to look at the bride, Bella’s eyes locked on Nathan’s standing at the end of the aisle. Something inside of her seemed to burst and unleash such overwhelming love that she wanted to run into his arms right away. Instead, she smiled at him and as the music began, she started her descent down the aisle, towards the love of her life.
