“Got it covered on the dress,” I say motioning over at the older lady next to Ox. “We’ll have another wedding for the parents later. This one is only for us.”
After a few moments a smile is etched on her face and she nods. “Okay, let’s do it!”
I send her off with Claudia to get ready, and Ox and I walk into the chapel to fill out the paperwork needed to get the marriage certificate.
He slaps me on the back. “It’s always a good sign when their excited and willing to get married so quickly.” He chuckles, and I have to wonder if there’s a story behind his comment. He must understand the questions spinning in my head because he follows up. “My wife may or may not have been persuaded into our marriage.”
I follow Claudia into a boutique and watch as she shuts the doors and locks them. We walk farther in and I see a rack full of dresses and shoes on a wall by the dressing rooms.
“Let’s get you a dress, shall we!” Claudia says and takes the first dress off the rack and shows it to me.
We’re on the second rack, when I start to think that this is not going to happen, and I’m never going to find the right one. Until she pulls out a short white dress that has me stunned. It’s a sleeveless top adorned with exquisite pearls. The bottom features a slight flared tulle laced bottom. It hits above my knee. I couldn’t be more in love with it. I know that most brides want the long dresses with the veils, but I’m just not a fan of them and never have been. We pair it with white shimmering red bottom shoes to complete the look then she moves us over to the salon across the hall.
There are a group of women standing by a stylist’s chair, and when I sit down, they pounce on me with makeup and curling irons. Forty-seven minutes later, I’m all done and walking out of the salon in my wedding dress.
I can’t believe this is really happening.
“You make the most beautiful bride, Miss Walker,” Claudia gushes as we walk back down the hall towards a set of double doors.
She peeks her head in and does some type of hand gesture before closing the door back.
“Are you ready?” she asks cheerfully and walks around me to make sure everything is in place with my dress.
“Yes,” I say confidently.
She places a hand on the knob of the door but stops looking behind us.
“Here! Don’t forget these!” one of the women from the salon yells out as she runs down the hall to us.
She has a small bouquet of light blue flowers with soft pink roses in her hand and passes them to me. Never did I imagine my wedding day or anything to do with a wedding before now. It was never something I thought a lot of for myself, but as I take the bouquet from her hands, I can’t help but think that this is exactly how I would picture my perfect day. From the dress to the shoes and flowers and even the gorgeous ring Kane placed on my left ring finger. All doubts I ever had of his devotion to our relationship has been thrown out the window, and I can’t believe he put all this together. I feel like I’m floating on a cloud and can’t find the ground.
Claudia opens the door and I take a deep breath before walking towards my forever who is waiting down the aisle for me. He looks so handsome in a new black shirt with dark denim jeans with his cut. His hair is somewhat tamed and I notice that instead of his riding boots he has on a pair of white chucks. He reaches for me and pulls me into a hungry kiss until the minister clears his throat.
Pulling away but leaving his forehead against mine, “You look absolutely breathtaking, Raegan.”
I give him a shy smile and start to see flashes and hear the clicking of a camera. Glancing over, I see Claudia and other man in a black suit taking our pictures.
“Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today…”
~Present Time~
After Raegan finishes giving all the details about the ceremony, I see the way all the women are melting at every word she recalls of last night. I know they all want her to be happy and loved, and I’ve got that in the bag.
Havoc is watching how Sutton reacts to all this, and he has a longing look in his eyes. I have a feeling that we might be having another wedding in the near future, if he doesn’t screw it up. Zane needs a good mother figure in his life and Sutton would be the perfect model for it.
Each of my brothers make their rounds in congratulating us on last night. They have already accepted Raegan into our family, but they make a show of welcoming her now as my wife. The other chapters introduce themselves making vows to always have her under their protection as well.
“So, what are we going to do tonight now that we don’t have a wedding to attend?” Melissa asks as brunch is served.
“Well, we thought we’d still have a big party since the ceremony is already done,” Raegan answers.
I’ve already spoken and taken care of everything last night with Ox, and he’s making sure that everything is set up perfectly for what we’ll need.
“I can’t believe you traipsed off and got married without me by your side,” Ivy lectures and grabs for Raegan ring finger again. She’s smiling the entire time so I know she’s already over not being included. I also think that no one else being there helped. “So, what else did you guys do last night?”
We both smirk at each other, and my woman starts to giggle.
“Besides that!” Sutton yelps.
