I took a deep breath, looking down at my niece, La'Niyah, who was the flower girl. She grabbed my dress and giggled as she pushed her head into my thigh.
My heart melted. she's only 3 years old. By now, I've had three kids; La'Davion, La'Dayna and La'Darion. Davion was 4, Dayna was 2 and Darion was 3.
The boys both ran in, hugging me at my legs. Tanya came and grabbed the boys as I helped Niyah get dressed. We walked into the venue, the boys and La'Niyah walking the aisle before I did.
I smiled at Davion as he passed me, his eyes shining with tears. I knelt down next to Niyah, kissing her forehead.
"Are you excited, La'Niyah?" I murmured softly, smoothing her curly brown hair back away from her face. She giggled, nodding her head eagerly.
I turned towards Montez.

"Hi sweetheart." I said, smiling as I walked up to him. He leaned in to kiss my cheek, then pulled away. "Hey sweetie" he replied, grinning. "Happy wedding day" he stated.
I grinned, turning away from him, feeling a sudden wave of emotion. the vows came and I was so happy. I was elated.
Davion's smile lit up my world as he sang our wedding song. Davion stood up and hugged me, whispering, "happy mommy" to me.
I squeezed my son tightly and kissed him on the top of his head. The priest finished up and announced us husband and wife.
My family cheered while Montez and I shared a quick kiss, then he stepped aside.
