Nervous is such a weak adjective to describe what I'm truly feeling. My heart is hammering and I'm not sure if this is out of nervousness, excitement or fear. Perhaps it's a mixture of all of them? I don't know.

Today is my wedding day and until this very moment, there's, thankfully, no drama. Everything is going according to the plan. However, I haven't even walked down the aisle yet. Silas ar I wanted our wedding to be private, and to achieve that, we hired a top-notch security company to keep away paps and reporters.

Silas is now a very famous football player. The success he has achieved in a short period of time is almost unprecedented. I'm really proud of what he has achieved so far and I know that there's more to come.

I graduated last July. It still feels surreal that I'm no longer a college student and, to be honest, I'm really excited to start working. Well, I have been working with my mum since Summer of my junior year, but being an intern is not like being a full-time employee.

In my third year, Mum suggested I could design a few dresses and have them sold at an auction to donate the money later for charity. At first, I was skeptical, because I thought nobody would want to buy dresses from a beginner, but I was wrong. All of the dresses were immediately snatched and many people even asked me if I could design more dresses for them. To say I was stunned would be an understatement.

I'm supposed to start working with Mum as a full-time designer after I'm back from my honeymoon and I'm really stoked. I can't wait to see people wearing my designs. I know that it's not going to be easy, and a lot of people will call me nepo-baby, but I don't care anymore. I learned to ignore all of that. It wasn't an easy process, but I'm proud of the stage I have reached. I won't lie and say that what I hear or read doesn't bother me anymore, but the effect on me isn't as strong as it used to be.

"You look absolutely gorgeous," Mum says from behind me. She is the one who has designed my wedding dress and I'm simply in love with the gown I have on. It is a long-sleeve off-the-shoulder dress with a lot of studs and pearls on its sweetheart top. The skirt of the dress is long, and it also has studs and pearls but only at the top until they completely fade. It is not very puffy, giving me freedom to move. Mum has put so much love into this dress and I love every single thing about it.

My hair is pulled back in a half updo and it no longer reaches my waist. One day I decided to cut it, and I feel like I can now deal with it better. It now slightly passes the middle of back.

For my something blue, I have a simple hair piece that has blue gemstones in it. For my something borrowed, Mum gave me one of her diamond earrings and for my something old, I have a ring that my grandma gave me when I was eighteen.

"Come here. Let me look at you," Grandma says, and I make my way towards her. Sadly, Grandpa died two years ago and the toll his death has taken on Grandma is still visible to this day.

"Do you

like my dress?" I ask her as I twirl in front of her.

"You look flawless, Rosie," she tells me, and I see the tears brimming in her eyes.

"Oh, please don't cry," I say, bending down to hug her.

"I can't believe that you're getting married," she whispers, and I just smile. I can't believe it either, but I'm ready to continue the rest of my life with Silas.

A knock on the door makes me pull back from the hug. Kendall, my maid of honor opens the door. It's my dad.

Are you ready?" he asks as he walks inside. He stops the moment his eyes fall on me, and I just smile at him. "Maybe you should run away." I laugh at his comment.

"You know I love him." I chuckle as I approach him. I wrap my arms around him and he does the same "But I will always be

your little girl," I remind him.

"If I stay here much longer, I won't be able to walk you down the aisle," he jokes, making us laugh.

Quickly Mum and Grandma leave, then my maid of honor and my bridesmaids follow them.

The wedding is an outdoor one. Silas and I were involved in alle details. I loved how he shared with me all of the special moments related to preparations. I thought that he might not be involved in everything due to how busy he has been with the football season, but he proved me wrong. He was with me while we picked the flowers and during cake tasting. He was patient with me when I couldn't make up my mind regarding a few things here and there.

Each day, I feel thankful that I ended up with him, because Silas is simply the best partner any girl can ever wish for.

The music starts playing and everybody starts taking their place. Once it's my turn, I take a deep breath as Dad walks me down the aisle. All my nervousness vanishes once I see Silas waiting for me at the end of the aisle looking as handsome as

ever.

My eyes never dart away from him and the smile never leaves my face. I catch him wiping a tear quickly before we reach him and all I can think about is that I want to kiss it away.

"Take care of my little girl," Dad tells him as he gives my hand to Silas.

"She is in safe hands," Silas assures him. "Hello gorgeous," he murmurs as he kisses my

forehead.

The two of us stand in front of the officiant and he immediately starts the ceremony. I'm lost in my own world and barely paying attention to what he's saying. I can't believe that in less than two minutes, Silas and I are going to be husband and wife. I married the person I thought I would never end up with when I was eighteen. But twenty-two-year-old me is absolutely in love with him. She cannot wait to spend all of her life and make a big family with him.

"Do you have

your own vows or are you going with the traditional ones?" the officiant asks us.

"I have written my own vows," I say and turn around to take the paper from Kendall.

the

"I have also written mine," Silas says with a smile, taking a paper out of his pocket. I know he wasn't going to say traditional vows. Nothing about us is traditional. Our start wasn't traditional, but I won't change a thing about the way we both fell for each other.

"My sweet Rosie, I still remember the first time I saw you when I was barely sixteen years old. I was stunned by your beauty, and I kept telling myself, 'Wow! I have never seen such a gorgeous girl like that before. But sixteen-year-old me was stupid. He didn't know how to act around you or even talk to you. Simply, I thought you were out of my league." Tears well in my eyes as I listen to every word he says. "As the years passed, my love for you grew, but I didn't know how to tell you. Then fate decided to be on my side when you joined my university, and I promised myself I would do anything until you were mine. Here we are today. Looks like I have fulfilled my promise to myself."

The proud smile on his face makes me let out a short laugh. His eyes never leave mine as he reads the rest of his vows. "Rosie, I vow to take care of you and to be your best friend for the rest of your life. I vow to cherish and love you until my very last breath. I vow to lift you up when you're feeling down and to match your energy when you're singing at the top of your lungs in the car." Everybody laughs at what he says, including me. "You will forever be my girl and I will always love you."

I unfold the paper in my hands and look at Silas one more time before looking at the paper I'm holding. "I have always been a bookworm and my speciality is romantic novels. For so long, I had always had this belief that finding the kind of love I read about in books was impossible, but then you came, Silas, and you made me live a beautiful love story that is so much better than any novel I have read. You have shown me what true love feels like. At my darkest times, you were there. When I gave up on us, you never let go. I never thought that one day, I would be getting married to you, because thirteen-year-old- me would rather jump into a freezing pool in winter than have a dance with you." I manage to make the attendees laugh and Silas laughs too.

"But can you blame her when pulling her hair was your favourite thing to do?" I smirk, looking at him. He playfully rolls his eyes, and I continue. "I'm glad I'm not that girl anymore, because you are the best partner anybody could ever ask for. I vow

to always be there for you whenever you need me. I vow to atter as many games as possible, even though they make me anxious. I vow to love you until my last day on earth. Even then, I vow to find you in the afterlife and fall for you all over again.

By the time I'm done, I'm already breathless. I stare into Silas's eyes and the sparkle I see in them makes my heart flutter. I don't need him to say anything to make sure that he loves me. The way he looks

at me is enough. An overwhelming sensation of affection takes over me and my heart races.

The love I have for him is overwhelming and beautiful and I pray with everything in me that we stay like that until we're grey and old.

After sharing "I do", the officiant announces us as husband and wife. As his lips meet mine, time stands still. His kiss is just like his touch, full of love, passion, warmth and assurance. Butterflies dance around in my stomach as if it's our first kiss. The world around us fades away and I squeeze his arm as the kiss deepens.

Finally, we pull away, not wanting to give the audience a longer show. Cheers erupt around us and a wide smile forms on my lips.

Officially, I'm Rosalie Kensington Cromwell.
