Everything is Different Now

Chapter 15: The Big Day

-One Month Later-

Laney's POV:

I can't believe it's actually time. I have been waiting for this for what seems like forever. Tomorrow is the day where Larry and I will finally be able to actually belong to each other. Tomorrow is the day when we become husband and wife. For the past couple of months, we have been planning like crazy so we could get married as soon as possible. I asked Carrie to be my maid of honor while Larry asked Corey to be his best man. But since we are having a double wedding, we are doing our ceremonies one at a time.

Larry and I will exchange our vows first then Corey and Carrie will exchange theirs. Larry left for some "guy time" while Lance is at Larry's parent's house. Right now, I am sitting at home, waiting for Carrie to show up. I am going to Carrie's house to have some "girl time" before the big day. I sit watching tv until I hear a knock at the door. I turn the tv off before getting up and answering the door.

I open it to see an excited Carrie. "Are you ready?", she asks. "As ready as I'll ever be.", I reply. I would have driven myself to Carrie's house, but she insisted on picking me up since we're friends now. We leave and get into Carrie's car. When we arrive we see Kim and Konnie's car parked by Carrie's house. They must be inside waiting for us. I feel my anxiety gnawing away at me as we approach the door and it opens, revealing a very excited Kim and Konnie. I feel my eyes widen as they pull me and Carrie into a tight hug. Carrie laughs while hugging them back. "Are you two ready to have some FUN?!", Konnie shouts. "Of course we are.", I answer. Kim speaks up. "Tonight is the last night that both of you are free. Make sure to enjoy yourself."

I can't help but giggle. These two are so easily excitable, like a certain pair of twin brothers I know. We head to Carrie's bedroom and start our hangout by watching a movie. After watching one movie, Kim and Konnie want to watch a couple more. Me and Carrie agree and just sit and watch the movies while eating popcorn. After watching the movies, Kim tells Konnie to go get our gifts.

Carrie and I look at each other confused before Konnie comes back and looks at me and Carrie. "Can you guys come down to the livingroom?", she asks. I look at Carrie and she just shrugs. We get up and follow Konnie downstairs while Kim follows behind us. Carrie and I go sit on the couch while Kim and Konnie start to bring us our gifts. Konnie hands me mine while Kim hands Carrie hers. I open it and feel my eyes go wide while my cheeks heat up. The gift is a box that holds two different items.

One item is a big pack of condoms. Another thing is a huge bottle of lube. I look up at Konnie with a shocked face. "What is this for?!", I ask. "Your honeymoon. Duh!", Konnie says as if it's the most obvious thing in the world. I shake my head before setting the box down. I look over to see that Carrie recieved the same gift I did. She shakes her head as well. We then spend the next few hours just talking before we decided that it was time to go home. Carrie drove me back home after Kim and Konnie had left.

I finally arrive home after my long day of girl time. I walk in and take my shoes off and place them on the mat by the door. "Larry?", I call out. I get no response. I go to the bedroom to see if maybe Larry got home and went to sleep. Much to my disappointment, he isn't. I sigh and go do my usual night routine which consists of taking a shower, washing my hair, shaving, brushing my teeth, etc. After finishing, I walk to my bedroom and lay down. As I'm trying to doze off, I can't help but notice the empty spot next to me in the bed.

I feel a pang of sadness but remember that I'll see him tomorrow. I'll see him standing at the altar, waiting to make the ultimate promise, the one that lasts a lifetime. I feel happiness fill me, effectively getting rid of my momentary sadness. I close my eyes letting these thoughts be the last thing on my mind before I fall asleep.

I wake up to the smell of coffee. I open my eyes expecting to see Larry waiting for me to wake with a cup of coffee in his hands for me. I was half right. "Hey.", Carrie says while handing a cup of coffee to me. I sit up while taking a small sip of the coffee. "Is Larry here?", I ask while setting the coffee down on the nightstand next to my side of the bed. Carrie shakes her head. "He left to get ready.", she explains. I nod my head in understanding.

I quickly get up and throw something on so me and Carrie can get ready for our big day. After getting dressed and quickly finishing our coffee, me and Carrie drive to where the wedding is taking place and immediately go to the room where we will be getting ready. We are relieved that Kim and Konnie are already there and are ready to begin. They quickly sit us down and start their work.

I sit still as Konnie styles my hair, does my makeup, and does my nails while Kim does the same to Carrie. Konnie paints my nails white and puts my hair into an elegant bun. They work on us for like an hour and a half before we're done. Kim and Konnie leave while Carrie helps me get my dress on and I help her get hers on. My dress is strapless and drapes on the ground. After getting our dresses and jewlelry on, we stand and look at ourselves in a mirror.

I look nervously into the mirror. Carrie looks over at me. "You look beautiful.", she says. I smile at her. "So do you.", I say. I stand there looking at myself in the mirror until Kim comes in. "Everything's ready.", Kim says. I look at her and nod. I take a deep breath before turning around and walking out the door. Shortly, I arrive at the closed doors that lead to the aisle where everyone will be watching me. My thoughts are broken when I feel a hand on my shoulder. I turn to see my dad. He looks at me for a couple of seconds then tears come to his eyes.

"You look so beautiful and grown up.", he says while smiling at me. I smile back as he holds his arm out for me to hold. I take his arm before facing front towards the doors. I hear the wedding march begin as the doors in front of me open. I walk foward to see everyone looking back at me. I gulp nervously and avert my eyes. I look ahead and focus on Larry. He is standing at the altar, smiling at me. I smile back as I notice how handsome he is in his tux. Time slows down for me as I get lost in the sight of Larry.

I focus on his shining red hair, his mesmerizing green eyes, and his dazzling smile. I feel all my nervousness slip away the longer I look at him. I am broken out of dazing out when I feel my dad stop walking. I look around to realize that we reached the altar. My dad smiles at me and kisses my cheek. He takes my hand and puts it in Larry's. My dad puts a hand on Larry's shoulder and gives him a smile. My dad goes and sits down while Larry gently pulls me up by him. We face each other as the minister announces for everyone to sit.

After everyone is seated, the minister begins giving the usual that is said at weddings and I soon put all my attention on Larry as I feel my surroundings dissapear. It's like me and Larry are the only two here. Finally being able to live in this moment where we could become united in the best way anyone can. I feel my happiness rise as I think of how me and Larry can spend our whole lives together. I am brought back to reality when the minister turns to me.

"Repeat after me. I, Laney Penn."

I look into Larry's eyes.

"I, Laney Penn.", I proudly repeat.

"Take you Larry Nepp.", the minister continues.

"Take you Larry Nepp.", I say.

"To be my husband.", the minister says.

"To be my husband.", I repeat as I focus on Larry's smile.

"To have and to hold from this day forward.", the minister recites.

"To have and to hold from this day forward.", I say while smiling at Larry.

Larry smiles back while the minister continues. "For better or for worse."

"For better or for worse.", I state as I feel my heart beat a little faster.

"For richer, for poorer."

"For richer, for poorer.", I repeat.

"In sickness and in health."

"In sickness and in health.", I say as I get lost in Larry's eyes.

"To love and to cherish."

"To love and to cherish.", I state as I feel my face heat up from the loving look that Larry is giving me.

"From this day forward until death do us part.", the minister finishes.

"From this day forward until death do us part.", I say as I beam at Larry.

The minister turns to Larry and asks him to repeat after him. As Larry is doing his part he is just staring at me with nothing but love in his eyes. His smile grows as he repeats the last line. The minister asks for us to put our rings on each other. Larry smiles and takes the rings from Corey. He hands his to me. Larry takes my hand in his and slips the ring onto my finger. I smile as I take his hand and do the same. Larry holds my hands in his and gazes into my eyes as the minister says the part I've been waiting for.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

We slowly lean in until our lips finally meet. I hear the cheers coming from the audience but, I tune them out and get lost in Larry's lips and his warmth. The kiss ends soon but this one kiss will be the best one of my life since it is the one that binds us together. Larry smiles as he puts an arm around my waist. I look out into the audience and focus on the people that care about me. After finishing our ceremony, me and Larry take our places on the side and watch as Corey and Carrie do their ceremony.

I watch happily as they finish. I'm glad that they are happy together. After the ceremony ends we all head to the reception. We arrive to see everything all set up. There are tables everywhere that hold vases containing pink and red roses. We go sit down at the special table marked for the bride and groom or in this case, brides and grooms. The
reception begins with us having the first dance. Larry escorts me to the dance floor and holds me close to him. I listen and hear All of Me by John Legend start playing.

Larry presses me up against him and twirls us around slowly. I get lost in his embrace and melt into his arms. Soon, the song ends and the music changes to something fast and upbeat. Larry and I go sit down at our table. We spend the next few hours relaxing and chatting with everyone. Finally, night turns into day and the reception comes to an end.

Larry and I walk to where our limo is waiting to take us home. We watch as Carrie and Corey walk to their limo as well. We wave before getting in. I snuggle into Larry's side as the limo starts the long drive home. I sigh happily as I feel Larry place his lips on my forehead in a loving kiss. The excitement of the day causes me to let out a yawn. Larry laughs before looking at me. "You can sleep if you want.", he says. I only nod as I feel my eyelids drooping and lay my head on his shoulder before succumbing to sleep.

I open my eyes to see the ceiling of my bedroom. I look over next to me to see Larry's spot empty. I look at the clock and read the time, which is 8:00am, before I pull the covers off of me before getting up and walking to the kitchen. I am surprised to see the table set up and breakfast made. I watch as Larry comes over to me and kisses me. "Good morning.", he says. "What's all this?", I ask. Larry smiles at me. "What? Isn't a husband allowed to make his beautiful wife breakfast?", he asks. I smile before going over and kissing him passionately. He kisses back. We soon break the kiss.

We sit down and enjoy breakfast. Afterwards, Larry offers to pack our bags while I go take a shower since we don't have to leave for a couple of hours. I nod and head to the bathroom. I enjoy myself while taking my shower. After my shower, I do my usual things like brushing my teeth, grooming myself, and putting on my makeup. I also change into a casual outfit. I am wearing a black dress that ends right above my knees. I finish getting ready and go outside to wait for our ride to arrive. For our honeymoon we are going to Disney World. I've been before, but when I was really young, so I don't really remember what it was like. Larry has never been, so this is the perfect place to have
our honeymoon. Larry paid the airport to send a driver to come pick us up and bring us there. I walk over to where Larry is standing outside.

I notice that he has already brought our luggage out. I love that he does things like that. He sees me and smiles before wrapping his arms around me and pulling me into a passionate kiss. I kiss back with an equal amount of passion. We stop when we need air. Larry puts his forehead against mine and stares lovingly into my eyes. I put my arms around his neck as I return the look. We look up when we hear the sound of a car pulling up next to us. The car stops and the driver gets out. He tells us that we may go ahead and get in while he takes care of our luggage. Larry nods at him and looks at me. Larry goes up to the car and holds the door open for me. I giggle while getting in. Larry gets in after me.

Soon, the driver finishes putting our luggage in the trunk and starts the long drive to the airport. I hate to leave Lance but it would be nice to have some alone time with Larry. I lean my head on Larry's shoulder. He looks over and smiles at me. I smile back as I lean forward and press my lips to his. The kiss is short, but full of love. I sigh happily as I settle against him and close my eyes as I feel his arms around me, holding me in a warm, loving embrace.
