*A few weeks later*
I stand in the foyer, watching outside at the people gathering.
"Why am I so nervous?" I ask Carly, looking at her.
"Because this time, the feelings are there. Last time, you were saving your family. He loves you, you love him. Easy." Carly puts my rose bouquet in my hand, smiling. I take another look at my dress, smoothing it out.
"I still feel like this is the first time." Carly grins, and hugs my shoulders.
"It's time." She helps me out, and down to the start of the semi woodsy area.
My mom comes to meet me, and hugs me.
"Hi, mom." A tear goes down her eye.
"This time it's for real." I nod.
"Forever." I sigh. Carly comes back with a picture of the area, and I gasp.
"This is gorgeous!" I squeal, and the music starts. Carly gives her phone to Mom, and quickly goes down the aisle.
I take a deep breath, and start walking.
"Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?
But watching you stand alone,
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow.
One step closer
[Chorus:]
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
One step closer
[Chorus:]
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
One step closer
One step closer
[Chorus:]
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more."
I reach him, and he laughs softly.
"Cheesy much?" He whispers.
"Nothing less for you, dear." I whisper back, and face him.
"Today, marks a very happy occasion, in which man and woman unite... Again... To form one." The priest mentions our first wedding, making us both laugh.
"Cody Wyatt Maze, would you take, Riley Ann Greg/Maze, to be your lawfully wedded wife?" He nods his head furiously.
"Yes. I do. Of course." I laugh, and wipe a tear off my cheek.
"Riley Ann Greg... Or Maze... Whichever you go by, do you take Cody Wyatt Maze to be your lawfully wedded husband?" I nod.
"Well, I wouldn't be here if I didn't." The crowd laughs.
"Great. Then, by the grace of God and the good state of North Carolina, I grant you to be, man and wife. Kiss your bride, bro." Cody and I laugh, and he kisses me. The kiss lasts for a while, and then we run away. The photographer puts us in the woods, and takes a bunch of photos.
We go to the reception hall, and a good song comes on.
"Give it to me, I'm worth it
Baby, I'm worth it
Uh huh I'm worth it
Gimme gimme I'm worth it
Give it to me, I'm worth it
Baby, I'm worth it
Uh huh I'm worth it
Gimme gimme I'm worth it." I sing along with the music, and I dance with Carly.
"[Kid Ink:]
OK, I tell her bring it back like she left some-
Bring it bring it back like she left some-
In the club with the lights off
Whatchu acting shy for?
Come and show me that you're with it with it with it with it with it
Stop playing, now you know that I'm with it with it with it with it with it with it
Whatchu acting shy for?
Just gimme you, just gimme you
Just gimme you, that's all I wanna do
And if what they say is true
If it's true, I might give me to you
I may talk a lot of stuff
Guaranteed, I can back it up
I think I'm a call you bluff
Hurry up, I'm waitin' out front
Uh huh, you see me in the spotlight
"Ooh I love your style"
Uh huh show me what you got
'Cause I don't wanna waste my time
Uh huh see me in the spotlight
"Ooh I love your style"
Uh huh show me what you got now
Come and make it worth my while
Give it to me, I'm worth it
Baby, I'm worth it
Uh huh I'm worth it
Gimme gimme I'm worth it
Give it to me, I'm worth it
Baby, I'm worth it
Uh huh I'm worth it
Gimme gimme I'm worth it
It's all on you, it's all on you
It's all on you, so what you wanna do?
And if you don't have a clue
Not a clue, I'll tell you what to do
Come harder just because
I don't like it, like it too soft
I like it a little rough
Not too much, but maybe just enough
Uh huh, you see me in the spotlight
"Ooh I love your style"
Uh huh show me what you got
'Cause I don't wanna waste my time
Uh huh see me in the spotlight
"Ooh I love your style"
Uh huh, show me what you got now
Come and make it worth my while
Give it to me, I'm worth it
Baby, I'm worth it
Uh huh I'm worth it
Gimme gimme I'm worth it
Give it to me, I'm worth it (know what I mean?)
Baby, I'm worth it (give me everything)
Uh huh I'm worth it
Gimme gimme I'm worth it
[Kid Ink:]
OK
I tell her bring it back like she left some-
Bring it bring it back like she left some-
In the club with the lights off
Whatchu acting shy for?
Come and show me that you're with it with it with it with it with it
Stop playing, now you know that I'm with it with it with it with it with it
Whatchu acting shy for?
Uh huh, you see me in the spotlight
"Ooh I love your style"
Uh huh show me what you got
'Cause I don't wanna waste my time
Uh huh see me in the spotlight
"Ooh I love your style"
Uh huh, show me what you got now
Come and make it worth my while
Give it to me, I'm worth it
Baby, I'm worth it
Uh huh I'm worth it
Gimme gimme I'm worth it
Give it to me, I'm worth it (know what I mean?)
Baby, I'm worth it (give me everything)
Uh huh I'm worth it
Gimme gimme I'm worth it
Give it to me, I'm worth it." I finish singing, and laugh.
"Thank you for coming!" I yell, smiling. Cody kisses me, and I know from now on, it will be okay.
Maybe.
