"It's perfectly natural to be nervous okay? You look amazing remember that." Lily says as she does the finishing touches on my hair.
It's been 6 months since we were in the Maldives and he asked me to marry him, and today it's finally happening.
Today I become Amara Hernandez.
Nerves peek through every single part of my body, I keep trying to remind myself that all I have to do is walk up a long ass isle and then say a few words and then I'll be married to the love of my life. However it's not going very well.
Lily planned this wedding along with my mom and Ginevra, I'm so glad I had them to help because I wouldn't have survived if I didn't.
Guest wise there are a lot more people then I expected. A lot of them I have invited myself, them being friends I've met over the past 6 months. The others are mafia members.
Since this is a big thing for the mafia we're obviously getting married in Italy, I don't know where our honeymoon will be though since Valerio refused to tell me.
"There we go, all done." Lily smiles.
I look at myself in the mirror. Since mafias take weddings so seriously my dress is next level, like seriously- It's huge and extremely long, but it is absolutely stunning. Flowers coat the dress which we found was perfect since the wedding is literally full of flowers. My heels are white and have pearls on the straps with a flower sitting on the front.
My hair is pulled back and parted onto my shoulders with two small strands infront. I have flowers put in at the back giving the extra summer feeling.
It's perfect.
"You look so beautiful." My mother says as she walks up to me.
I look out the window to see people doing the finishing touches on the after party and the hundreds of guards standing around the property.
Slowly the doors open again, by now Enzo, being the best man and Lily, being my maid of honor have already walked through. It's Liz's turn to walk now, Liz fitted the flower girl role perfectly and she looks adorable with her dress and basket.
Behind her is Rocco, wearing a big collar with a small box attached to it. It took me 3 weeks to convince Valerio to let him be the ring bearer, another few days to convince him to let Rocco wear a custom made dog suit, but it's so worth it because he looks amazing.
The doors are closed and a little while later the music turns on, the one indicating it's time for me to go.
My heart might explode because of how fast it's beating.
I take a deep breathe as I stand behind the door that will lead me to my soon to be husband. The man I love.
It's crazy how such a messy situation can turn into something that means more to you then anything. We were nothing more then a situation before. A difficult situation we would run away from. Now we run towards each other when in fear.
We love and we stay.

Crazy how 14 years of work turns into a lifetime of love, how the most beautiful woman is currently walking down the aisle soon to be my wife. 14 years of training to not feel anything for her changed the second my eyes came in contact with hers.
The look of surprise now being the look of love, love that will never be broken but cherished and accepted for the rest of our lives.
My breathing speeds up as she gradually gets closer, nerves racking through me. Enzo stands next to me, his attention changing from Amara to Lily every now and then.
The room is completely silent except for the music playing and the sound of the fucking dog panting.
Her mother wipes a tear as she gives Amara away, letting her walk up to me herself. I can't completely see her yet but I know she's absolutely magnificent under that veil.
I was right, the veil is slowly pulled back revealing her gorgeous face plastered with the most beautiful smile I've ever seen.
This woman is too beautiful for this world, to be honest beautiful is an understatement.
The priest starts talking but I don't really hear what he's saying, all my attention is on the goddess standing before me.
"Valerio Hernandez, do you take Amara Willson as your lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?" He speaks.
"I do."
"Amara Wilson, do you take Valerio Hernandez as your lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?"
"I do."
"I now declare you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride."
I don't think he gets to finish his sentence before I step forward and our lips connect. They're as soft and perfect as always, moving flawlessly with mine.
Her hands rest on my shoulder as mine are on her waist. People stand up and start clapping, and I think I hear Lily's excited shrieking too.
We pull away and look into eachothers eyes.
None of us need to say it, our eyes speak for themselves.

"Look at you two!" Anna comes up to us giving us a big hug.
Anna came back to work 2 months ago, it was shocking for a lot of people to see her again but having her back has truly been amazing.
Anna wipes her tears, "god you're so grown up now."
Amara laughs with a faint smile, hugging her mother close.
A few minutes later and the slow dancing music starts, the one intended for us. Amara changed into a smaller dress for the after party, it's a lot simpler and tighter but she still looks like a goddess. She always looks like a goddess actually.
The crowd goes silent and the room darkens as we step onto the dance floor. She wraps her arms around my neck, and my hands are firm on her waist.
The dance isn't something special, just small movements and steps. Amara follows my lead, letting my guide her through it.
No conversations are exchanged, just me sometimes reminding her how perfect she is.
"You're so pretty." She says.
I pull back with an arched brow. "What?"
"You're pretty. And handsome, but you're pretty too. I don't think I say that enough." She continues.
I blink a few times, and I panic because I swear I can feel my cheeks flushing. Amara laughs adorably at my reaction then pulls my head down to kiss me.
She acts like there's no one watching us as she kisses me, normally she's the one nervous when it comes to PDA however she doesn't seem the least bit bothered right now.
"I love you. So fucking much." I say against her lips.
"I love you more." She breaths.
"Impossible."
"What makes you think that?" She asks, her pretty doe eyes innocently looking up at me.
"perché il mio amore per te è semplicemente troppo per questa parola"
