Emory's POV
I wake up, but this time, before the alarm, and I just stare at my ceiling for minutes, until the alarm rings. Then I get out of bed, connect my phone's bluetooth to my speaker and play some music to get the stress and nervousness off of me. I freshen up, then I go downstairs, and there were already so many people. I smile at them and they all smile back. "Mija, come, eat breakfast, then we'll get going." My mom says and so I sit down, and have breakfast. After that, we all get going to the hotel, where the wedding was taking place, to start getting ready for the BIG DAY.
When we get there, everything was ready, the decorations and all the people who would be helping us get ready were also there. I was scared and nervous but also excited. Then we go to our room, which the Garcias had already booked for us. It was a suite, the biggest one to be specific, honestly I wasn't surprised,I mean after all it is THE GARCIAS.
We go inside and sit for a while as it was still a bit too early to start getting ready, it was now 10:28 a.m and we were deciding on starting at 11:00 a.m as by 2:00 p.m we were suppose to be ready.
Then we just sat, chatted with each other and soon it was already 11 a.m so we start getting ready. After all the facial and bath thingys I finally sit down at the vanity table and the makeup artist comes to me asks me what I want. I'm not a big fan of makeup, even though it's very beautiful, I never felt like it suited me the way it did others. I told her to apply only light natural looking makeup. And by 12:04 we were done with makeup and all. It was now time to put on the dress. The main part.
Finally by the time everyone was ready it was 1:54 p.m just in time. And so since everything was done we drove to the church.
When we reached the church it was 2:27 and the wedding was suppose to be starting at 3:00 so I sit in a room which I never knew churches had. The room was just so elegant that I completely got lost in it and as I'm getting lost, my thoughts too start piling up. God is this right? I think to myself, Is he nice? Will he treat me nice? What if he CHEATS on me?! That's when I start freaking out and I stand up.
I felt so nervous and tense that I almost fainted but thankfully I hear my mother's sweet voice "Emory? Are you ok??" I turn behind and see her standing at the door. She could see through me so easily, she could see that I was going to tumble down any moment soon. So she holds me as she could see me tensed. Then she makes me sit.
"Emory, Darling are you ok?" She asks me and just as I was about to answer the door opens and my father enters. He starts to get emotional seeing me in white and gets teary. The moment I see him like this I stand up and hug him tightly, tighter then I've ever hugged him before and he gives me a little laugh. Our mom stands up and smiles at us as she joins our hug. "I'm sorry honey, it's just that I'll miss you" he says and I smile at the both of them "Are you ok?" My mom asks, raising her eyebrows at the 'you' and I give her a little laugh "Yes Mama, was just getting nervous but since you guys are here I'm better now" I answer smiling at them.
Right at that moment all my siblings enter and we all decide to sit down and have a little pray session, we are a religious family, not too religious though, just the right amount. After this, we all have a little group hug and my dad says "Everything will be ok, no matter what you'll always be our little Emory and don't forget ANY problem we are always here ok?" I nod feeling the sting in eyes. My mom kisses me in the head and says "Lista mi amor?" (Ready my love?). "Más de lo que alguna vez seré" (More than I'll ever be) I answer with a smile.
First my whole family go in except my father, then the flower girl and bridesmaids go in and at last it was our turn. I put my arm around my father's as he gives me a little kiss on my head which made me realise that no matter what NOBODY ELSE could ever love me like how my family does. And that I will always have them by my side. Now we stand there behind the doors and just a moment after, the door opens.

Ryan's POV
I was driving back home after training and when I reach home I see my whole entire family waiting for me. I join them and when we had sudden gatherings like these it usually meant bad news but at this point I've had too much of bad news that I was used it. My life is fucked up.
I stand there "Sit down Ryan" My mother demands and I do. My Father starts "We have to tell you some—" "Cut the crap and tell me, I can handle it" I say as I was very tired and didn't want to waste any time "RYAN!" My father says in a stern voice "Sorry Pa, just very tired" I say getting very tired of all the shit they put me through "It's ok but here's the thing, You're getting married day after tomorrow, so tomorrow go get your tuxedo."
I freeze at this news I know I said I could handle it but this?! I DON'T LIKE IT "WHAT?!" I scream as my younger siblings just look at me emotionless and my mom just looks down at her hands "I thought you said you were tired Ryan? Now no more further discussions, GO!" My father says "Wow Pa, you just proved what type of a man you are" and so before I lose control I go upstairs to the rooftop and was about to punch the wall but I control myself plus now I have a wedding coming. My father was a man who had went through a lot, that's why he is how he is today, stubborn, stern and so hidden that sometimes I don't even feel like he's my father. I get angry at my parents easily but most of the time I try to not say stuff that I want to say, as at the end of the day they are still my parents and I do love them even though I'll never admit it.
At this point I have had too much to even speak so I just go to my room have a cold shower and join Shelby, my two year old Pitbull,
Ali, my one year old Rottweiler,
And Malone, my 3 year old German Shepherd to bed.
Wow surprising how in just one night my whole life changed.
The next day I wake up hearing the alarm, I check my phone for messages and the only ones I see are text requests from strangers. Everything was fine until I see a name on the screen, Nessa, a random account had sent me a text request and this name reminded me of one person. Vanessa, the woman that was once my everything. Even to this day when I'm about to get married I still think of her and it still haunts it. My life is cursed, it is, in a billion ways but she was probably my biggest curse. I'd think of her and I would always feel the suffocation in my throat so I shake my head to get her out of it.
I get up from the bed and get ready. I call my boys and tell them the whole thing and so we decided to shop together, not exactly shop but decide and pick.
The boys come over to my place and I call Alejandro, my personal stylist. Alejandro was a good friend of mine so I decided to tell him the whole thing and ask him to come over with the best tuxedos he could find.
10 minutes later Alejandro walks into my closet. "First off, Congratulations, Ryan and secondly pongámonos a trabajar!!"(let's get to work) Alejandro says. I was pretty glad my boys were free to join me on this whole thing. I would've never been able to pick myself.
The first tux I tried on to be brutally honest, sucked. Grey is a beautiful colour but this type of grey just didn't look good with tuxedos or on me. The moment the boys see it they give me the most funny looks. And with that this was off the list. "Come onnnn, Alej you can do better bruh." I say "You're righttttt, hold on" He says, asking for his helpers to give him the other options.
The next tuxedo I try was much better, it was black in colour but the little black vest inside just made it look off and the boys agreed too so we move on to the next one.
The next tuxedo was white and when I saw it right at that moment I said no. I just didn't like bright and white coloured suits or tuxedos especially if it was for your own wedding. They would've looked nice on others but in my point of view they look horrible on me and a marriage isn't something to play with so I better look good. I change.
We move on to the next tuxedo and I almost scream at Alejandro for giving me a white colour tuxedo again. "I will bash you Alej, you know I don't like white!" I say "Now hold on you little dynamite mouth," he says "WHAT?!" I asked him confused but not surprised, Alejandro might've been a very weird man but he was also very sweet and caring. He had been around helping us with things that weren't only related to clothes, since almost 15 years now so I really appreciated this man. "I know you don't like white for weddings, but this one's different, seee" he says pointing out his hands to the mirror for me to see, maybe it looked different but it was still white so I still said no.
Now the next tuxedo was way much more like me, dark, sophisticated and elegant. "Gentlemen, I believe maybe we've got the right one" I say showing the boys the outfit.
Miura shoots me a very weird look and looks at Chris, then they both look at me. "Brother, you're getting married, don't you think it's a bit too, ordinary?" Kota says and I glare at him. "Miura, you better be kidding, you know I don't like this shit." I scream, now, kind of annoyed. "I gotta go with Miura on this Ryan, sorry but he has a point. I mean come on it's your freaking wedding we're talking about here." Christian says "Guys!!" I scream at them and they just look at me. "Fine, but you two are really getting on my nerves right now." I say and walk back in, to try on more tuxedos.
I try on this tuxedo, hoping it would be the last one I'd try for today. Now this tuxedo was a whole different thing from the others, the coat was a velvet/sweat material type, which really caught my attention.
I show the boys and they looked at me kind of surprised. "Now we're talking!" Chris says and Miura laughs, but I just look at the mirror as I feel like something was off. "Something's off" I say "It looks perfect in my eyes" Alej says and I just keep staring at the whole thing in the mirror. "Hold on, if I just remove these two things.." I say removing the little vest from inside and the brooch. "OKAY, NOW WE REALLY ARE TALKING!" I say chuckling and I turn around. The boys and Alej give me huge smiles and Chris says. "That's the one, brother." And Miura says "PERFECT".
"Perfect" I say to myself, looking at the mirror.
Now everything was done and ready, what's left was to wait for the BIG DAY.
