Chapter Fifteen: “The Wedding Reception”

It's been two weeks and my wedding reception was in a couple of hours. The wedding was tomorrow and I couldn't wait. I was so excited to see everyone, my cousins, my grandparents and my uncles and aunts. A lot of my friends from work are going to be there and a lot of Chris's friends too. Tonight I'm putting on a white skinny dress with white heals, almost the same as my wedding dress.

Veronica came over to do my makeup, I don't know what she does to make it look perfect. My parents are at their house getting ready and I'm getting ready in Chris's house in a separate room from his, we don't want to see each other until we meet at the reception.

The time has come for me to leave for the reception, Chris and I are going in separate cars. There was so much traffic, I didn't know why, I was starting to get anxious. We started to move quicker and the reception started in ten minutes. I called Sam that was already there, he told me that he was going to stall everyone until we got there. Chris had called me and he said that he was already there, I didn't think it was possible, I was still at traffic.

The traffic stopped and we were able to get to the reception at time. We to there and I saw Chris waiting for me outside. I walked towards him and he said, "together?" and I answered back saying, "together". We went in together and everybody started clapping at us, we laughed and looked at each other and kissed in front of everyone. We sat down and it was time for the best man and the made of honor to say some words. They all said beautiful things. Then after everybody said something we ate.

The reception had finished and we were saying goodbye to all of our friends and family. When everybody left Chris took me to the middle of the room and asked me to dance.

-"I know we are supposed to do this tomorrow, but I couldn't was any longer." He said to me.

I was happy, as I felt safe around him. I knew this was going to be the best wedding and marriage of my life and nothing was going to ruin this week. We went outside and gave each other a kiss, we didn't want the night to go any longer so we said goodbye and walked different ways, I had remembered I was staying at his house so I turned around and we went home together.

We got home and I was thinking about how big everyone was at the reception. My cousins who were babies years ago and

all of my other relatives, I even got to meet some of Chris's friends from work and friends he's had for a long time. I washed my makeup off and took a nice warm bath, my dress was already in my room and the makeup artist was coming tomorrow in the morning. I put my pajamas on and went to sleep, knowing everything was going to be perfect tomorrow.
