Her eyes stared wide-eyed at him. She couldn't muster out words for what felt like an eternity. "I-I…"
"Stella?" he asked his voice holding a tint of nervousness. She wouldn't say anything and he feared she'd say no.
"Yes!" she finally managed out with a forming grin on her face. "Yes. I'll marry you!" she declared happily. He smiled widely before taking her left hand in his and placing the ring on her ring finger.
She felt tears swelling up her eyes as he took her hand and kissed it.
Stella smiled at the memory. It had been a year since that and here she stood in front of the full length mirror in her hotel room. She was marrying the love of her life today and she was still in shock, but oh so happy.
Her delicately manicured fingers ran over the white beads of her long and beautiful wedding gown. "I'm getting married…" she whispered to herself feeling her nerves take over her. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly.
Knock Knock!
She heard someone knock on the other side of the door and she walked over to the door. Once she swung it opened her best friend walked in.
"Eric." She said with a smile.
Erik smiled, he seemed extra excited making Stella gasped. "She said yes?" she asked excitedly. He nodded "Yup, I just asked her." Stella chuckled, happy for him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "I'm so happy for you guys!"
After Charlie and Mo had broken up Erik and Mo had gotten closer. He was her shoulder to cry on if she needed it; he was there when she needed a friend. She and he would talk on the phone almost every day once Erik and Stella came back to New York to finish their last year of college. And after 4 months Mo moved to NYC pursuing her dreams of becoming a lawyer.
Erik and Mo would spend all their time together. It came to a point where Stella had gotten annoyed from all their time spent together, saying that she missed her best friend. And finally after a year he asked her out and apparently she said yes!
"Thanks." He smiled before taking her hand and leading her to the full length mirror. "You look beautiful. And that dress looks amazing on you." He told her.
"Thanks. I couldn't have done it without you." She giggled. Yes, he had helped her pick out her dress. It was truly a piece of fine work.
"You know it." He winked. She chuckled.
He knew she was nervous because he felt her hand shaking. "Stella Yamada nervous? No way." He smirked. She nodded almost reluctantly. "Yeah I am."
"Relax. You're going to marry the love of your life. It's going to be just fine." He reassured her. She nodded her thanks. "Just wait 'till you have kids. Then you'd be a nervous wreck." He chuckled.
That made her laugh "And how do you know about that, Hunter?" she asked using his last name. He shrugged "I just do." He smirked before giving her kiss on the forehead and heading for the door. "The ceremony begins soon. I'll see you in there."
Once the door shut she took a deep breath before walking out. She met up with Mo who walked with her to the door.
"You look gorgeous, Stella." She smiled at her friend. "Thank you. By the way I found out about the news." She smirked at Mo who in return blushed beat red. Stella laughed quietly at her blushed face.
"I'm happy for you guys."
"Thank you!" Mo giggled.
They made it to the doors and Stella sighed once more, relaxing herself. "I can do this," she whispered.
"I'll meet you in there." Mo left.
She felt someone take her hand and she looked up "Hey Dad," she smiled. Her dad had tears forming in his eyes. He was as headstrong and tough as Stella and he wouldn't cry for anything… but his 'little girl' was getting married. How could he not, even a little?
"You look beautiful, baby." He told his daughter. Stella gave him a watery smile "Thank you." She told him, giving his hand a squeeze as the doors opened.
"Come on." He told her with a smile.
They began to walk up slowly.
Stella looked to her left side and saw Olivia sitting next to Wen. She gave Stella a smile and a small wave. Stella smiled back.
She looked to her right and saw Ray sitting next to his 'date' and Scott. Ray gave her a light smirk and she almost chuckled before looking back to the front.
Olivia took a glance to her right and met the blue eyes of Ray who had been staring at her. Their eyes both held something deep before they both looked away.
Stella and her father were almost to the front when Stella caught Charlie's eyes. He stared at her in awe. She was beautiful. He mouthed and 'I love you,' making Stella smile a little more and returning the gesture 'I love you, too'
They made it up to Charlie and Stella quickly glance to her left seeing Erik and Mo both standing where the Maid of Honor was supposed to stand. She mentally snorted. Yes, both of them were her 'Maid of Honor'.
Erik saw her expression and stuck his tongue out at her. She giggled lightly before her dad gave her a kiss on the forehead and gave her hand to Charlie's.
Charlie smiled at her and she couldn't help but grin back. "We're finally getting married." She whispered to him. "Yeah we are. You're not having second thoughts are you?" he asked with a light smirk, he was only joking.
"Hmm maybe a few." She smirked back, playfulness in her voice.
Their attention went to the pastor as he began.
When it was time for their vows they both look at each other
"I, Charlie Delgado, do solemnly swear to love you always. In good times, and in bad times. In sickness and in health, 'till death do us apart. Stella I love you and I will not let anything come between us." He said with truth coating his brown eyes.
Stella smiled and gave his hand a squeeze. "I, Stella Yamada, swear to love you always. In sickness and in health. And yes even in the darkest days and in the good days."
He chuckled at the way she said it.
"Charlie Delgado, I love you." She smiled.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife! You may now kiss the bride."
He removed the veil from her face and put his hands on her cheeks "I love you." He said once more before kissing her passionately.
The crowd cheered as Stella put her hands on his waist, kissing him back with all her love. When they pulled away they both laughed before he took her, carrying her bridal style and out the room, with her giggling and demanding to be let down.
Once he did let her go they were outside; people following behind. She slapped his arm playfully totally not expecting to be carried like that.
He just laughed, kissing her once more; shutting her up from what would be a non-important rant.
After all these years they were finally together.
Truly together.
She was glad that they couldn't let go.
"I Can't Let You Go"
