Twenty-four

Sarah's Pov 

I can't believe I get married today, I had a great night with Bella talking about all sorts, for some reason I am wide awake at six in the morning on my wedding day but my phone soon buzzes with a message 

'Morning beautiful, I can't wait to marry you. Did you and Bella have a good night?' 

'Morning husband-to-be, yes we had an awesome night, I asked her about what we spoke about' 

'What was her response?' 

'She is still completely head over heels for him, I dropped the bombshell about the dance, she wasn't impressed but she will be fine' 

'Good, he is smitten with her, he confessed a few things last night but we can talk later once I make you, my wife. I love you babe' 

"You and my brother are sickly cute" I drop my phone 

"Fucking bitch, give me a heads-up next time" I hear her laugh as she walks back to the kitchen 

"Coffee ready for you, Mrs Connors" Bella shouts making me laugh, getting out of bed I slip into my robe and head through to the kitchen where Bella is sat drinking a coffee and going through her e-mails by the looks of it.  

Bella's Pov 

Last night was so much fun, well except being quizzed about Chris. We have been up for hours now and had breakfast and showers, Bri and Claire have joined us and we are currently having our hair and makeup done, my long blonde hair is curled to perfection and my makeup is light but my eyes are smoky with a hint of light purple to match my dress. Ava is dressed in a little white dress with a tiny light purple sash around her waist and she has a white headband on that has light purple flowers on it, her black hair is in a tiny ponytail on top of her head.  

"Oh my- wow just wow" Sarah enters from the other bedroom in a full length strapless white dress, the bodice is covered in crystals, her brunette hair is curled and her make up is identical to mine, she looks absolutely stunning 

"Don't you dare cry, or I will cry" she laugh sobs making me do the same "Now your turn, go" she says shooing me into the room where my dress is hanging up, I step into it and Claire pulls the corset top tight before tying it up  

"Are the dresses ready for the reception?" she asks  

"Yeah, all hanging up in there" I say nodding towards the large wardrobe  

"Damn, you look beautiful, Bella" she gushes as we walk into the room to join Sarah and Bri 

"Woah, why you trying to better me on my wedding?" Sarah laughs, the floor length gown is stunning. 

"You ready to go?" Sarah asks making me laugh 

"It should be me asking you that" I laugh again. 

As we stand behind the fabricated wall, Claire takes Ava from my arms and my breath gets stuck, I feel like I can't breathe  

"Don't stop breathing for me now, Bells" oh dear fucking- shit-  

"Bella, you alright?" I hear Sarah asking but laughing at the same time, you bitch just you fucking wait. 

"Uh-huh" I don't trust my mouth to form a sentence right now, it gets made worse we hear the music meaning I have to link arm with him, oh she is going to pay for this. 

"Seriously Bells, you need to breathe"  

"Breathe, got it" I almost snap back but it comes out less confident than I hoped, Sarah informed me a few hours ago that Rome was here as Bri's plus one so Jay told Ty he could attend, this is fucking great, sarcasm right there guys. 

"You ready?" Chris's breath almost tickles my neck and all I can do is nod, linking my arm in his we make our way down to where Jay stands on the beach and the smile on his face instantly calms me. 

As Sarah and Jay recite their vows to each other, my eyes are full of tears I hope my parents can see this moment, they will be so proud of Jay 

"You may now kiss the bride" Jay pulls Sarah into his arms and the kiss is beautiful and even leaves Sarah giggling which says a lot, as I hand her back her bouquet of flowers she leans in  

"He couldn't take his eyes of you, your next to get hitched" she laughs before taking her place next to Jay and I walk with Chris. Within an hour the photographs are done, thankfully and Sarah, Bri and I are quickly getting changed into our reception dresses, I slip into my light purple sleeveless mini dress that ends mid-thigh and my black stilettos.  

Sarah booked the hotels large ballroom for the reception which I am glad about, it saves messing around with transport and stuff, it has been decorated beautifully with white and lilac backdrops, balloons, candles it is just perfect. Sarah planned to have the meal first then speeches, I am next to Sarah, then Bri, and on Jay's side, Chris is next to him then Dale, I thought the wedding was only going to have up to forty guests but I guess numbers increased as there are at least eighty people here.  

I decided to get my speech out of the way first since Ava will be wanting a bottle soon 

"Ladies and gentlemen attention please, today we have witnessed my brother and my best friend get married, I knew from the moment they met each other that they would get married, Jay is serious but childish and Sarah is silly but mature, they complete each other and make each other complete, if there is ever a love in this world that I would want, it would most definitely be theirs." I have to pause for a moment because I can see Sarah is close to tears so I take a deep breath "I love you both so much, and it because of you two that my daughter will always have family, you both got me through the darkest days, and Jay you have being doing just that since I was sixteen, you are my life and um- I have your wedding present here, I was going to wait but if I talk anymore I am going to cry, so here I love you Mr and Mrs James Connors, to the bride and groom" there's cheers and a lot of tears around the room, I hand them the envelope and watch as they open it  

"Are you actually serious?" Sarah squeals and I nod 

"Congratulations guys" I smile before I am pulled from my chair and squashed between them in a tight hug 

"I have the best sister-in-law and best friend this world could ever ask for, she has gone above and beyond to help us with this wedding, and now- uhm- now she has given us the most thoughtful present, this-" she holds up the paperwork "this- right here, is the deeds to her old house which now- uh- well I guess now it's ours, I can't wait to live there and start our life together Jay, you are my absolute everything, I have only ever seen a love like this once before- I – just hope their love is enough to get them to where we are now baby, I love you" I know I'm crying and my legs are weak, she can't of been talking about- no that is silly, no way would she be talking about-
