Meant to be. Book 1. (COMPLETED)

Chapter 27. Big day. (finale.)

Selena was getting ready for her wedding to Eugenia. She paced nervously in the hotel room, surrounded by her loved ones.

"I can't believe it's finally happening," Her mother Mandy exclaimed.

"I'm a little nervous," Selena admitted.

"Take deep breaths, it'll help you relax," She suggested, trying to calm her down.

"I hope so," Selena replied, feeling the jitters.

"May I come in, Selena?" Her stepdad Brian asked from outside the door.

"Come in," Selena welcomed him.

Brian entered the room and his eyes lit up when he saw Selena in her wedding dress. He couldn't help but smile, proud to see her all grown up and excited for this new chapter in her life.

"You look absolutely stunning, sweetie," He complimented her.

"Thank you," Selena blushed, glancing down at her dress.

"You're welcome," Brian said, embracing her and planting a kiss on her head.

"Are you ready to go, Dad?" Selena asked, eager to begin.

"Let's go and get you married," He replied, offering his arm to her.

"I'm so thrilled for this moment," She expressed, linking her arm with his.

They left the room, with Selena stealing a glance back at everyone following behind them. Selena and Brian reached the end of the aisle in the church, patiently waiting for the cue to start walking.

As Selena looked ahead, she locked eyes with Eugenia at the end of the aisle. In that moment, Selena's breath caught in her throat.

Eugenia's heart swelled with joy as she gazed at her fiancé, unable to contain the giant smile that spread across her face. And she eagerly returned the gesture, knowing that Selena was about to marry the love of her life.

As the music began to play, Selena and her stepdad took their first steps down the aisle. All eyes were on them as they made their way towards the altar, and the entire room was filled with a sense of excitement and anticipation.

It was a moment that no one would ever forget.
As the bridesmaids made their way down the aisle, the anticipation in the air was palpable.

The guests held their breath as Ashley and Eugenia's twin sister, Megan, handed over the rings. The pastor gave a heartfelt speech, and then came the moment everyone had been waiting for.

"Does anyone object to this couple getting married?" The pastor asked, looking out at the crowd.

Silence.

"Very well then, by the power vested in me and the state of California, I now pronounce you wife and wife. You may now kiss the bride," He declared.

Eugenia wasted no time, wrapping her arms around Selena and pulling her in for a passionate kiss. The crowd erupted in cheers and wolf whistles as the newlyweds pulled away, grinning from ear to ear.

After the ceremony, the couple made their way to the reception, where they greeted guests and caught up with friends and family. When the DJ played a song they both loved, couldn't resist hitting the dance floor.

"Give it up for Mrs. and Mrs. Howard's first dance as wives!" The DJ announced, as the couple swayed to John Legend's "All of Me."

The moment the first song of the night started playing, the couple couldn't resist the urge to dance. With beaming smiles on their faces, they locked eyes as if it was the very first time they had ever laid eyes on each other.

"How do you feel?" Eugenia asked, her voice filled with excitement.

"I feel absolutely amazing right now. Is that how you're feeling?" She replied, her voice brimming with joy.

"Of course, baby. I'm your wife now," Eugenia said, planting a tender kiss on her partner's cheek.

"I wouldn't want it any other way, Eugenia,"
She replied, her voice filled with love and sincerity.

"I love you," Eugenia said, her words carrying the weight of a thousand emotions.

"I love you too," Selena responded, effortlessly swaying them back and forth as if it was the most natural thing in the world.

As they continued dancing, the energy in the room began to rise. Other people joined in, filling the dance floor with laughter and joy.

The couple reveled in the moment, cherishing every second as people raised their glasses for heartfelt toasts. Suddenly, a slideshow of their beautiful journey together flashed on the screen, showcasing their love story for all to see.

Undeterred, they continued dancing, their bodies moving in perfect harmony for hours on end. They kept dancing for a while.

"We should head to the airport," Selena suggested, breaking the spell of the enchanting evening.

"Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special day," Eugenia announced, waving to the crowd before making her way to the car with her wife.

With their hearts still overflowing with love, the couple embarked on their next adventure - a honeymoon in the romantic city of Paris. They collected their tickets, gathered their belongings, and breezed through security, eager to begin their journey together.

As they boarded the plane, hand in hand, they couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation for the weeks ahead. Paris awaited them, ready to be explored and cherished, just like their love for each other.

Every obstacle they faced, every challenge they overcame, every tear shed and every laugh shared, had led them to this very moment. They had weathered the storms of life together, emerging stronger and more resilient than ever before.

As they embarked on their journey as newlyweds, they were filled with an unwavering belief that they could conquer anything that came their way. They were willing to risk it all for each other, knowing that their love was worth every sacrifice.

With each passing day, their bond grew stronger, unbreakable. They had been through the depths of despair and had fought their way back to each other.

Now, as Selena gazed at her wife, peacefully asleep with her head resting on her shoulder, a smile spread across her face. She smiled softly at her.

"I could definitely get used to this," Selena whispered, wrapping her arm around Eugenia's shoulder and kissed her forehead.

She was filled with excitement for the life they were about to build together, with the younger woman in her arms. As she looked out of the window, Selena couldn't help but feel that her life was complete.

Her career was flourishing, her marriage was thriving, and she had everything she had ever wanted. What more could she ask for in this very moment?

Yet, deep down, Selena knew that challenges would inevitably come their way. She was determined to stay married to the woman sitting beside her, no matter what obstacles they faced.

With that thought in mind, she closed her eyes, allowing sleep to wash over her. As she drifted off, she knew that their love would guide them through whatever lay ahead.
