Aria's POV

I stood at the corner of the room, and saw everyone, even though nobody wanted me to get married, they were very happy about the rehearsal dinner, Nanna was rushing from here to there, grandma was trying really hard to fix grand dad's bow tie for the past four-five minutes. Her hands were shaky but his spirit was remarkable, he stood there silently as she fumbled with it.

Mother and Father were nowhere to be seen. I could see Gemma come down the stairs. She looked pretty, she was wearing a white dress that reached her knees and she had her hair open. Who knew she could look that good. The whole dining room was chaos. Everyone was running and screaming. Everybody wanted to be there at the rehearsal dinner on time and wanted to look the best they could. I guess, at the end of the day the whole place was going to be bombarded with paparazzi.

I couldn't believe that tomorrow was the day, tomorrow was the day, and I was getting married, at the age of seventeen. Nobody thought that it could happen, but I guess, my mother proved everyone wrong. I was getting married and did I feel happy or maybe excited or even joyous about it? No, I didn't.

All I felt was, that I had to get over it, I had to just say yes, when the priest asked me if I took Zachariah as my husband and probably just you know, smile a little bit here and there, but the easiest part was forgetting Ignatius, I mean I just had few memories with him here and there, and what else, nothing more and nothing less.

I could do it. I could fall in love all over again with Zachariah. At least that's what I tried to tell myself. I thought I could do it, I could fall in love with him and just forget everything that I have with Ignatius.

You know what the strangest part was, that I never imagined myself falling in love with someone, falling in love with anyone, and suddenly Ignatius came in and changed everything, he made everything feel so strange, I never thought I could go out of my comfort zone until I met him, I met him and boom. The most important part is that when he came to my life, I didn't even feel his presence. I felt nothing at all it was almost like a feather, his presence but the irony is that he affected me and my decisions more than I had ever imagined he could and what happened after was another story.

"Aria, it's time, come on!" I heard Nanna shout and she tried to get everyone out of the house, first Gemma walked out and then my uncle and aunts. "Everyone come on, it's time to move. Otherwise, we all will be late!" But nobody gave a damn, grandma was done with grand dad's tie and they were slowly moving towards the gate.

"Let me help you," I heard granddad ask grand mum.

"I don't need help, you need help!" She exclaimed but then hit his hand anyway.

I held on to my golden gown and started walking towards the door, I looked up at Nanna and she smiled at me, "you look so beautiful, sweetie, so beautiful," before I could even comprehend what she was saying, I saw tears in her eyes.

"I'm going to miss you so much, when you're gone, so very much!"

I had never thought about it until then. Yeah, I was going to move out, you'll be okay, come on. "My make up! Nanna, it took me ten years to get this right! Don't make me cry."

"You did you makeup? Girl, you're looking like a girl because a professional make-up artist did your make up!" She rolled her eyes at me. Today, everyone's emotions were at a peak. Nobody knew what to do. Nobody could even do anything even if they wanted to.
