Tonight was the big night, I was nervous, anxious, and excited all in one. I was about to become Mrs. Morant.
"You ready my girl?" Desirae asked.
"Yes I'm so nervous y'all."
Tears started falling from my eyes.
"Aww don't cry Yanyria." Everybody said.
"You're gonna mess your makeup baby." My mom said hugging me.
"It's alright friend." Jonathon said.
"You just getting cold feet, it's normal when you're about to get married." My mom said.
"It's not cold feet ma it's just everything I been through these past three years of my life.. are gone and over and I just feel so relieved." "I'm just so happy to have a fresh start with my new husband and children." I said.
"It's like everything falling into place like I imagined."
"Don't make me cry Yanyria." Desirae said.
"For real cause I'm not no soft girl." Jatavia said.
"At all." Latto said wiping her tear.
*KNOCKS*
My aunt Jazz walked in.
"Auntie Jazmine."
"Aww Yanyria, you look so beautiful my baby." She said hugging me.
"Sissss." My mom said hugging her.
"Dang acting like ain't see each other last night at the dinner." Jatavia sassed.
"Girl be quiet." My mom said.
"Where my brother?" My aunt asked.
"Girl Jared in the other rooms with the groomsmen." My mom said.
"He better be ready to walk my niece down the isle that's all I know."
"Ms. Jamie." "Ja alright?"
"Girl Temetrius is in the other room having a mental breakdown." "He is crying like a baby." Jamie said.
"Why?"
"He's just nervous that's all, Tee and your dad had to calm him down." She said.
"Aww my baby, I'm ready to see him." I said.
"He ready to see you too Yanyria."
"Everything okay though right?" "Is everyone ready?" "All the kids?"
"Yes, Ja's little cousin Anthony just made it with his mom." Jamie said.
"Okay the ring bearer is here, what about my flower girls and bellboys?"
"What about Major?" "Is he here?"
"They're all here Yanyria." My mom said.
"Everything to be in place all of Ja's groomsman are here and your brides maids are here." "All the kids that are apart of the wedding are here too." "You don't need to worry sweetie."
"Okay mom can you help me zip up my dress?"
"Sure sweetie."
"Thank you."
"Alright it's almost about that time." The wedding planner said walking in.
"The wedding begins at five o clock so everyone should be walking in pretty soon, everything is arranged and set up downstairs." She said.
"Okay thank you very much you've been such a big help." My mom said.
"You all are welcomed, congratulations again Yanyria." She said.
"Thank you."
I looked in the mirror.
"I've always dreamed of this moment watching my baby girl walk down the aisle." My mom said.
I smiled.
"And now my dream has finally come true."
"I'm just so nervous mama."
"You've been waiting on this moment, got this baby girl." "And I'm gonna be right here for you."
"Thank you mama, I love you."
"I love you too sweetheart."

"The bride is coming, the bride is coming!" Ja's cousin yelled.
Everyone stood up.
(Major singing "Why I Love You" )
I found love in you
And I've learned to love me too
Never have I felt
That I could be all that you see
It's like our hearts have intertwined
Into the perfect harmony
This is why I love you
Ooh, this is why I love you
Because you love me
You love me
This is why I love you
Ooh, this is why I love you
Because you love me
You love me
I found love in you
My dad held my arm as I walked down the aisle.
Ja tried holding his tears back, but they fell from his eyes.
"Beautiful." Ja's aunt said making me smile.
I was no longer nervous, every second thought had went away, I was officially about to be married to this man.
"You all may be seated." The pastor said.
"Dearly beloved we have come together here in the sight of God in the presence of all these witnesses to unite this man and woman in holy matrimony."
"Which is a worthy institution proclaimed by God from the beginning of time." "This ceremony signifies the great union which is between Christ and his church."
"Christ beautified the ceremony with his presence during the wedding of Cana where he performed the first miracle." "In St. Paul commended marriage as a sacred institution which all persons should embrace and therefore is not to be entered into lightly but to be taken seriously."
"Realizing that this ceremony is ordained of God." "Into this holy estate these two persons come now to be joined as one." "Therefore if anyone can show a just cause why they should not be united husband and wife let them speak now or forever hold your peace."
"Hearing no objection let the people of faith say Amen."
"Amen."
"So I require and charge you both as you must give an account at the time of God's judgment that if any of you know any reason why you should not be legally united in holy matrimony you do now confess." "For be assured that if you are joined together in a matter that is not approved of God your marriage is not lawful in his eye sight."
"And who gives the bride away?"
"Her mother and I." My dad said.
"Amen." The pastor said.
My dad kissed me on the cheek.
"Temetrius will you take Yanyria to be your wedded wife to live together according to God's laws in the holy estate of matrimony?"
"Will you love her, respect and keep her, in sickness and in health in forsaking all others keep yourself faithful to her as long as you both shall live if so your response is I will."
"I will." Ja said.
"And Yanyria will you take Temetrius to be your wedded husband to live together according to God's laws in the holy estate of matrimony?"
"Will you love him, respect and keep her, in sickness and in health in forsaking all others keep yourself faithful to him as long as you both shall live if that is your desire your answer is I will."
"I will." I said.
"And now Temetrius I want you to take her right hand repeat after me "I Temetrius." The pastor said.
"I Temetrius."
"Take you Yanyria."
"Take you Yanyria."
"To be my wedded wife."
"To be my wedded wife."
"To have and to hold."
"To have and to hold."
"From this day foward."
"From this day foward."
"For better for worse."
"For better for worse."
"For richer for poor."
"For richer for poor."
"In sickness and in health."
"I'm sickness and in health."
"To love and to cherish."
"To love and to Cherish."
"Until we are parted by death."
"Until we are parted by death."
"According to God's holy law."
"According to God's holy law."
"And thus I plead you my faithfulness."
"And thus I plead you my faithfulness."
"Amen."
"Now Yanyria grab his right hand and repeat after me."
"I Yanyria."
"Take you Temetrius."
"Take you Termetrius."
"To be my wedded husband."
"To be my wedded husband."
"To have and to hold."
"To have and to hold."
"From this day foward."
"From this day foward."
"For better for worse."
"For better for worse."
"For richer for poor."
"For richer for poor."
"In sickness and in health."
"I'm sickness and in health."
"To love and to cherish."
"To love and to Cherish."
"Until we are parted by death."
"Until we are parted by death."
"According to God's holy law."
"According to God's holy law."
"And thus I plead you my faithfulness."
"And thus I plead you my faithfulness."
"Let us bow our heads and talk to our faithful God."
After the pastor and reverend spoke we placed the rings on each other's finger.
"Remember love is going to be the glue that's keeps you as one."
"Temetrius and Yanyria has consented to live together in holy matrimony, they've pledged their faith to one another by holding hands."
"Okay let's get to it." "You may kiss your bride."
He lifted my veil before kissing me.
"WHEWWW!!"
*claps and whistles*
"And so it's my happy privilege for the first time to present to you Mr. And Mrs. Temetrius and Yanyria Morant."
"WHEWWW!"
We walked off the altar together.
"Congrats bro." Devontae said.
"I appreciate it."
"Congratulations grandson."
"Thank you grandma."
"My baby girl." My dad said.
