Meeting Marshall Mathers: The Recovery Era

Chapter 20

All the local radio stations were commentating on today and the fact that it was Eminem's third marriage, it was even being covered on the news too and it had shown how many paparazzi were all at the bottom of winkler mill, trying to capture photos of all of the guests, reporters were down there too, it was pandemonium. I could here a news helicopter flying back and fourth too as I sat getting the last touches of hair and make up done. All my bridal party was ready and they looked beautiful,

"Sweetie are you ready to get into your dress?" My mum came in,

"Oh mum, look at you" I smiled so proudly, she was in a beautiful white and pastel yellow pencil skirt suit with a matching white and yellow fascinator with her beautiful long dark hair all pinned into a low side bun,

"Well the mother of the bride has to look her best for her beautiful blushing bride of a daughter doesn't she"

"Okay Jodie you're all done, so flawless" Alesha my stylist stepped back, I had my hair cascading down my back in long dark brown glossy and soft waves and then a veil put on my head that was long and reached down to my train,

"All I need is my dress now" I smiled in my white robe as I messed with the lace of my veil,

"Ladies!" My mum called out loud, Karlie, Alaina and Hailie all came in with my dress, Whitney followed with my shoe box and garter belt.

Fully ready, I began to walk cautiously down the open staircase to my awaiting party. Everyone stared up at me in awe as the photographer took some shots, I really was the blushing bride as I got hugged and kissed by everyone, I felt so sick and nervous that I kept going light headed with nausea,

"Just breatheeee" Karlie took me to one side as the rest of the girls including my mum and Alesha waited outside,

"Karlie I don't think I can. How many people are here?"

"Jodie, c'mon just get it together, you look so beautiful so don't throw up whatever you do" we chuckled,
"Also it wouldn't be fair to give Marshall his first kiss as a married man stinking of puke"

"Oh god he'll be stood there right now won't he, oh god this is happening, oh fuck" as I brought my hand to my mouth I noticed how much I was trembling,

"Okay just breath with me" she got us doing some deep and calming breaths,

"Are we ready?" Alesha came in,

"Five more minutes" bring the girls in and get yourself seated" Karlie instructed, I put down my bouquet on a side table so that I could waft my hands around to shake off some nerves.
Alaina, Hailie and Whitney all came up to me and gave me a hug, just looking at them made me more nervous because I knew that this time I had to do it, they too were as much my family and I couldn't let them down by running off...

"Right okay okay" I cleared my throat,

"Okay so, Whitney and Hailie go first, then myself and Alaina then you and your pops"

"Where is he?" I looked around,

"Outside calming himself down, but I think he wants a quick word whilst I line the girls up ready to walk the aisle, so come on, don't leave poor Marshall waiting any longer"

"Okay... How late are we?"

"10 minutes. Right ladies come on let's get her train" they got behind me and picked up the material. I breathed deeply, in and out, on and out as we left the back of the guest house. My father looked so proud as he watched me approach him, Karlie and co walked ahead,

"Hi poppa" I wanted to cry with happiness as he cuddled me,

"Hello my gorgeous girl"

"Don't cry, you'll set me off" I wiped a proud tear that trickled down his nose,
