*wedding day* *5 months pregnant*

Waking up, at 7am, to get ready for my wedding day.
Nervous?
Yes. I'm so beyond nervous.
Last night Tyler stayed at his moms house with both of our dads, and carter. I stayed here with my mom, his mom, and Hillari. Caressa Lynn was left with hillaris parents.
It wasn't much of a bachelorette party, seeing as how I'm pregnant. But I know the girls had fun.
Before I went to bed, we put my hair in curlers, and hair sprayed it down so hopefully it would stay.
My beautiful dress fit perfectly, even with my growing bump.
I took a bath, just shaving, so I felt nice and clean.
Now I just needed to wake Hillari up...

"Hillari! Get up!" I threw my towel at her instantly causing her to jerk up and out of bed.
"It's really already time? I have a hangover. 5 more minutes? Please."

I rolled my eyes at her and went over to my mom.
"Mama. Today's the big day. I need you to help me get ready."
My mom has always been a morning person, so she woke up with a smile.
She hopped out of bed, and I realized I look just like her. She had curlers in her hair, as well. Only her hair is much more manageable; it should be curled all day.
She grabbed my hand, and pulled me into the bathroom and sat me down on the toilet seat.
"Ready for this sweetie?"
I nodded, with the hugest smile on my face.

I know I want this. He is the love of my life. This is his baby.
My mom started taking my curlers out, and she let a tear fall.
"Mo-mom? What's wrong?"
"Nothing baby. You just look so beautiful. You're having my grand baby in 4 months, and I can't believe how fast you're growing up. What am I going to do with you?"
She chuckled at me, and put her hands around my belly.
"Just like a fish swimming in there."
I smiled down at my baby.

"Mom... I know what the gender is..."
She got wide-eyed and it looked like she was going to tackle me.
"Well?!?! What is my grand baby?! A grandson or a granddaughter?!"
"You will find out later. Only Tyler and I know."
She looked so let down, that I whispered in her ear.
"Be quiet, though! Nobody knows that we know. It's supposed to be a surprise!"
She nodded at me, and looked as happy as she possibly could.

Hillari woke up, finally. And we got my makeup done.
Eyeliner, sparkly light eyeshadow, mascara, blush, and a light pink lipstick.  (Makeup up above)

My hair was down, halfway, and curled. 
It was now 1:30, and the wedding was at 3.
"Mom? It's time to go."

We all piled in the car, and headed toward the beach. (Yes, we changed the location. Hiking while being 5 months pregnant, didn't go over well with me.)

There was a dressing room set up for me, and I haven't seen Tyler since yesterday. I miss his touch. I'm craving it, and him.
We aren't going far for our honeymoon, just to
a nice hotel with an indoor jacuzzi.

It was finally time. I pulled my dress on, and slipped on my white flats.
My belly is showing through, but I don't seem to mind as much anymore. I know that I want this.

Tammy walked up behind me, and zipped my dress up for me.
"You look absolutely beautiful. My Tyler is a lucky man."

She too, let the tears fall.

Why do these women keep crying?
I'm the pregnant one here!

I wiped away her tears.
"Don't cry, please. We are going to have to redo your makeup if you do."
She smiled at me, and kissed my cheek.

I knew it was time, and I had the butterflies worse than ever before. Plus the baby moving around in there isn't really helping.

It's time.

There were basic chairs lining up to the alter, with flowers along the sides of them.
Lily's; my favorite.

Hillari walked down, with Caressa Lynn as the flower girl; and took her place.

I opened up the door to the dressing room, and looked out at all of the people attending my wedding.
But most of all, I looked at the love of my life.

He looks so handsome in his traditional black and white tuxedo.
I can't believe I'm marrying him.

The wedding song began to play; and I took my first step out to meet my dad right there.

"Hi baby."
"Hi daddy."

"You look so beautiful."
"Thank you."
"And I'm so proud of you. You will make a wonderful wife and mother."

Great, now I'm going to cry.
I held it in until I reached the alter.

Then looking over at Tyler, all my nervousness went away.

I know for a fact that I love him, and this baby is his.

"You may say your vows Tyler"

"With this ring, I give you my heart.
I promise from this day forward, you shall not walk alone.
May my heart be your shelter, and my arms be your home.
I will love you, and this baby, for my entire life."

"Alexis?"

"I promise to love and care for you, and I will try in every way to be worthy of your love.
I will always be honest with you, kind, patient and forgiving.
I promise to try to be on time.
But most of all, I promise to be a true and loyal friend to you.
I love you."

"You may kiss the bride"

Tyler reached over, and lifted my veil.
"I love you, baby."
And we kissed; the most passionate kiss I've ever felt in my life.

I pulled away breathlessly.
"I love you too."

We turned to face all of the people that were here for this special day.
Tyler looked to me and nodded, and I nodded back.

"It's a boy."
"And a girl."

No, I did not write the vows. I got it off of the Internet. (:
