Chapter 189 - Star - Preparing For The Wedding Part 1



~~

Star

~~

Artem\'s family coming to stay at the house meant that things were moving very quickly, and it was almost time for the wedding. We had about two weeks left until the wedding, and I didn\'t know if we would have everything ready in time.

We were having the wedding at the house in the pack meeting area. Most of the pack were invited, but with a strict warning to not cause any problems. Apparently, things had been going well with the pack and Artem lately thanks to the lessons from Reece. 

I was focusing on the wedding though, so I didn\'t care about how that stuff was going. I was doing too much and trying to make sure that I didn\'t have a panic attack from being out there in front of everyone.

Though I did have my family here, all of my boys, and everyone that I loved and cared about so I should be fine. Right? I just had to remember that it was Artem that I was going to be standing up there with. I had to remember that I love Artem with all of my heart and soul, and I was happy to be marrying him.

I had my mom and dad here now as well. And they both wanted to help with the wedding. Artem\'s mom and aunt wanted to help as well, so with Chay and the triplets we had way more than enough hands helping with it all.

Dad said he wanted to be in charge of decorations at the wedding. He knew just what to do, and coincidentally that covered the flowers without us needing to buy any. What would be more fresh than magically grown flowers?

Not to mention between Keiran and Artem\'s family the food was covered. Artem\'s mom and aunt were really good cooks, I could see where he learned how to cook. And his cousins were making the cake, of course.

Mom was making my dress. Well to be fair, Mom and Dad were making my dress. I didn\'t know what Dad was going to do to help make the dress, but I was excited to see the final product. 

I was busy writing my vows as well. Artem and I agreed that since there was nothing traditional about our relationship, or our lives, we wouldn\'t have a traditional ceremony. The progress of things would end the same but none of the words were going to be traditional.

That had actually been fine with me since I didn\'t know what a traditional wedding was like, I had never seen one, never been to one, so that was fine with me. I wanted something that meant something to me and my future husband anyway. I wanted to express my love for him and tell him that I was looking forward to being with him forever. Now, if only I could get that out into the form of my vows for him.

When I was having a lot of trouble with this issue I decided to call Chay for help. She had been the one for me to turn to repeatedly when I needed help. She had helped me before I was even willing to accept it.

Thinking about it, I have changed a lot over the last few months. I had gone from someone who didn\'t talk at all and that didn\'t trust anyone to someone who talked to just about anyone and who was happy with other people around. I went from fearing everything and everyone to being happy in my life.

I never once thought that I would never be happy, ever. I knew that I wanted to be free, but I never truly thought about happiness back then. I was just thinking about self preservation.

These thoughts were going through my head when Chay came into the bedroom and sat on the couch next to me.

"Girl, are you lost in thought or what?" She laughed at me.

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"I knocked several times, and you didn\'t hear me. I even called out to you, but you never said anything."

"You did? I\'m so sorry Chay, I didn\'t hear you at all. I was thinking about a few things." I blushed so hard from the embarrassment of totally spacing out.

"I can see that." She laughed at me and smiled, obviously she wasn\'t mad or upset about it at all. "What has got you so worried right now?"

"Well, actually I was thinking about how much my life has changed over the last few months. It just seems crazy with how things have changed."

"Well, I think you\'ve found what to write your vows about." She grinned at me. "It seems you didn\'t truly need my help at all." She was grinning like she thought this was the best thing ever.

"What are you talking about?" I was confused, looking at her with my head tilted and my eyebrow up.

"You didn\'t know what to write in your vows. Well you just said that you were thinking about how much your life has changed in the last few months. Who was it that changed your life? Who was it that brought you here, that saved you, that would do anything for you?"

She was right, but I didn\'t know if that was what the vows were meant to be about.

"Is that acceptable though? I mean, aren\'t the vows supposed to be me telling him how I am going to love him forever and stuff like that?"

"That and you can tell him why you love him so much. What it was that made you fall in love with him in the first place. You can tell him that because of these reasons you will never leave him, and your love for him will never fade."

I felt like I had finally found the answer to my dilemma. Chay was completely right. That was just what I was going to do.

"Thank you, Chay." I threw my arms around her and hugged her tight.

"No worries. I know that this must be hard on you, having never been to a wedding before."

"Not unless you count the one that Uncle Howard forced on me. I am so glad that it was not a real wedding." I shuddered and then laughed. "Just thinking about it makes my skin crawl."

"Yeah, best not to mention that wedding during the vows unless you want Artem to get really pissed off." Chay laughed, and I couldn\'t help but laugh with her. She wasn\'t wrong, Artem would remember that night and turn into a beast that murdered someone if I brought it up on our wedding night.

After Chay left, I worked hard on the vows for a while. I was pretty sure that I had them just about all figured out now. That was one less thing that I needed to worry about. Now I could help focus on the rest of the wedding. Not that I really knew what to do for a wedding anyway, but still.

When I put my pen aside, there was a knock on my door that I actually heard this time. I could tell it was Mom and Dad so I called them in right away.

"Hey Mom, hey Dad." I grinned at them as they sat down on the couch next to me.

"Hello Star." Dad was grinning.

"Hi baby." Mom looked radiant.

"What\'s going on? Is everything OK?" I didn\'t really need to ask, I knew that it was all going well.

"Well, sweetheart," Mom looked over at Dad then back at me with happy eyes, "your dad asked me to marry him. He said that he has had the ring since before you were born." Mom held her hand out for me to see. "And I said yes. I don\'t want anything else to stand in my way."

"That is wonderful, mom." I smiled. "I was hoping he would ask you soon. We can get married on the same day."

"No, honey, we couldn\'t possibly steal your special day like that." Mom was shaking her head. "It\'s meant to be special for you, not someone else."

"But Mom, what would be more special than sharing this day with my parents that I had longed to see for so long? What could make it more special than sharing it with a couple who has had to wait nineteen years for their happily ever after. I think it would be so much better if we were to walk down the aisle together."

"But then who would walk you down the aisle?" Dad looked confused for a moment. "Isn\'t that what I am supposed to do?"

"Well, Dad, you will be waiting at the front for your bride and you will see me as well. Grandpa can walk Mom and Reed or Bailey can walk me. Maybe even both of them can, I know that would make them happy."

"You really want to share your day with us?" Mom still looked unsure about it.

"Yes, I am. I want to spend this day getting what I want, and having you guys get what you want. It\'s the best outcome possible, if you ask me."

"You really are the best daughter I could have ever hoped for." Dad smiled and pulled me into his arms for a warm hug. Mom wrapped her arms around us to add her heat to the hug as well. I couldn\'t imagine a better outcome right now. We were now preparing for two weddings instead of one.
