"Four times. You've done this four times. You shouldn't be nervous." Shell talks to herself just staring at the mirror in the hallway. Wearing a wedding dress that was practically all silk and lace that was strapless and a small veil covering her face. Pinning all her curls back into a bun with only a few small ones falling to the sides she lets out a deep sigh, looking over at Briar, Andra and Jenny in their light blue dresses. "Am I crazy for doing this... again?" she asks with a light nervous giggle as she leaned against the sofa table.
Draven had proposed about three months ago and it had been about a year now that Jay was gone, but she still felt that they were rushing things. Biting her lip, she hears the music and the small chapel doors open. It was a small wedding. Only maybe fifteen guests minus Shell's children in a quaint muggle chapel in the countryside of London. Watching Briar, Andra and Jenny walk down the aisle followed by Liese tossing petals and James and Jake as ring bearers, Shell takes a huge gulp before walking slowly down the path that she had walked so many times previously before.

Sure, only having two kids and trying to get Dominic ready so early in the morning. It was quite a struggle, she was glad Melissa helped her as much as she did. Normally he wasn't so against wearing his clothes, maybe it was because this time he didn't get to choose. On such an important day as this, she was not about to leave her son home She got herself ready as well slipping on the blue dress and straightening her long brown locks.
She practically shoved everyone into the car as she drove to the small chapel. Everyone got out after she had parked. Giving Dom to Melissa they left with her parents and her siblings while she headed to where Shell would be. Almost a year and she still couldn't believe that they had started to talk again especially after what she had done. She shook her head gentle as she tried to think of something else.She smiled as Shelby starts wondering if its to soon to be doing this again. She glanced at Briar and Jen."Shelby, you'd be crazy not to do it again."She jokes as she heads out into the chapel and stands as a bridesmaid like she had so many times before.

Shell gasps, sticking out her tongue at her best friend again. Of course Andra and Shell went through a rough patch, seeing as she slept with Jay right before his death. But they overcame that just like many other things in their past. "Shush. But really you guys, is it too soon?" she asks biting her lip again and letting a small sigh pass through her lips. [/size] |

She looks at her and smiles as she lets a small laugh escape. It'd seem like they would resolve one problem and then get into another disagreement, she wasn't going to let anything come between her and Shelby's friendship...not anymore.She looks at Briar and Jenny for their input, seeing as she already gave her opinion.

"Hey. It's your wedding. I'm just in it cause you asked." Jenny shrugs lightly. "But if you love him. Like actually love him then marry him mum."
Hearing the music start up again, from the impatient piano player Shell sighs lightly nudging Briar out of the doors with a small laugh. "Alright alright go." she nods, receiving a hug from Jenny and stands there looking at Andra with her arms extended out to hug her as well. [/size] |

She laughs and smiles at what Jenny had said."I couldn't of said it better myself Jenny."She says as she looks at Shell arms extending to hug her as well. She shakes her head and gives her a hug."If you don't hurry,people might start to think you runway from your wedding."She laughs lightly saying it in a teasing tone as she peers out where everyone was patiently awaiting.

"Once again, shush. Just go walk down the aisle and be quiet like a good bridesmaid." she says sticking out her tongue again before taking a deep breath and pacing in the hallway waiting for Briar, Jenny and Andra to get to the alter so that she could make her grand entrance. [/size] |

"It's not too soon, it's a great thing," Briar said with a smile to her best friend. Another wedding as a bridesmaid. She lost count to how many times she had done this for her friends. She smoothed out the blue dress, she hated the dress. Well, she hated dresses anyway. She was doing this for Shelby, because now she was happy again. That, she was thankful for.
She looked down the aisle and wrapped her friend in a hug before getting ready to make it to the alter. "I'm going to cry," She said, using her index finger to make a trail down her cheek. It was in a joking way, but she probably was going to cry. She always did at weddings. |

"Okay, okay..." she laughs hugging Briar as well. Shell smiles at the three of them as they begin to walk down the aisle and she sighs, glancing down at her engagement ring. Shell knew she was doing the right thing, following her heart. But there was something holding her back and she didn't know what it was. Looking around the small hallway she leans against the table again waiting to hear the music start for her. |

I was almost deciding not to go to the wedding, I mean I did love Shelby and I knew she was going to pick Draven over me, and my own marrage was falling apart. Still, I thought to ignore what ever I was thinking. So I went, and I sat down in the back row to make it so I could leave easily if I wanted to.
Charlotte didn't even care for me at the moment. My life is just going to hell. Looking up though, I saw Shell and waved with a small smile.

Not so long ago, Hayley had vowed to stay away from the ones she loved, friends and family included. It was too dangerous for her to see them. What if Hayley did something like she did to Riley? Yet Hayley was here at her cousin Shelby's wedding sitting in one of the middle rows. She couldn't bring herself not to come. Hayley waited from Shelby to walk down the aisle.

Shell heard the music and sighs lightly smiling at Riyann. They had been through a lot together but she loved Draven more. Walking down the aisle slowly she glances at the few people that were there. Just her closest friends and family was there and that's how Draven and her wanted it. She glances up and notices that he looked... well. Nervous beyond belief but he looked happy as well, causing her to giggle slightly. [/size] |

For the first time in his entire life, Draven was standing in a small church, tuxedo on, watching with nervous eyes as his bride-to-be walked gracefully down the aisle. He was aware that it was pretty obvious that he was nervous as hell. His hands kept fidgeting; playing with his tie, digging into the sides of his fingers. But then again, people probably would have been more worried if he didn't look nervous. Draven hadn't ever gotten married before, much less had more than four or five serious relationships.
Yet here he was, standing at the head of the aisle with just a few close friends staring at him. Well, not really. They were staring at Shelby now, as she walked down the aisle. He caught eyes with her for a moment and gave her a quick smile. Sure, he was nervous, but he knew he wanted to do this. An old memory dredged up from his mind: of him walking Shelby down the aisle of her last wedding. Talk about a way to predict the future, in a way.

Shell smiles lightly at him with a slight giggle as she reached the end of the aisle, handing Briar her bouquet of pink lilies, yellow and white roses. She glances up at him and shakes her head waiting for him to move her veil back over her pinned curls so she could fully look at his eyes.
"Hey. You handsome, the veil." she whispers, taking his hands and squeezing them slightly. He looked like he was in some kind of a trance standing there and it made her nervous, now biting her lip a little. "If you don't want to do this, I understand hun. We can wait if you're not ready." she whispers again. You could hear the hurt and pain in her voice when she said that. But if he was too nervous or just wasn't ready she didn't want Draven to make the same mistakes as she did. [/size] |

A smile began forming over his mouth, watching Shelby finally make it up to where he was standing. That was just the odd thing though. How her just smiling at him made him half fall in love with her all over again. Crazy.
He couldn't help it; a light chuckle made its way out of his mouth as he untangled their hands to pull back her veil. "Got it covered." Draven shot her another small smile, seeing as how he could actually look into her eyes this time, instead of having the veil as some type of curtain covering them. "Shelby, if I didn't want to do this, I wouldn't be standing here right now." Yeah, maybe it did seem like they were rushing a little, but Draven knew one thing: he loved her. So, to him, this was basically like another step forward. Drave knew she was probably worried about him thinking it was too soon, and end up jumping out of the marriage early, or something to that extent. But that wasn't the type of person Draven was. If he didn't want to get married to her, she would know. Because he definitely wouldn't be wearing a tuxedo right now.

Shell smiles up at him and shakes her head again lightly. The way he was looking at her made her smile even more and felt a light pink blush form on her cheeks. She had never seen him smile like that and it pushed all her regrets away.
Shell laughs as while letting her hand fall from Draven's and closing her eyes as he lifted the veil was over her head. After listening to what he said she smiles lightly to herself still with her eyes closed. She was glad that she heard that he didn't have any regrets now either and it just made her love for him grow more if it possibly could. When she thought she couldn't love him anymore than she already did she found that she could with one simple thing he said. Shell opens her eyes finally staring right into his. "I love you so much Draven." she whispers glancing over at the priest and he nods at the both of them starting off with the ceremony. [/size] |

His smile grew bigger, more confident as he saw the bright pink palour flush up into her cheeks. This was so... right. It just felt that way, even if butterflies were flapping up a storm in the pit of his stomach. The way she looked at him just pushed all that aside.
Draven locked eyes with her again once her veil had been lifted away. He ensnared their hands together again. "I love you too, babe." He leaned in and kissed her forhead gently. Okay, so maybe a kiss on the lips would have been better, but he was definitely saving that for when the priest told him he could kiss her. Sure, it seemed a little cliche, but he wanted everything to be just right. Somehow, he managed to pull his eyes away from her for a moment, also glancing over at the priest. There wasn't any more sense in waiting. Time to get on with the procession. He looked back to Shell and smiled at her again. 'This is really it,' Drave thought to himself, 'I'm really getting married.'

Throughout the ceremony, Shell took looks back from the priest to Draven feeling a growing smile form on her face as she squeezed his hands slightly once in a while as a way to say I love you in a nonverbal way.
After a few minutes more of the priest talking Shell sighs lightly biting her lip and looking down at their hands once in a while. She had forgotten how long the ceremony actually was and everything in it every time she had stood up here but she shakes out of it when Draven and her exchanged their rings and once again she went back into her thoughts, smiling occasionally up at him until she heard the most important sentence, you may now kiss the bride. Shell instantly beams up at him slightly tilting her head to the side. [/size] |

Basically Draven felt like he was in some sort of trance through the whole ceremony. But it was that good sort of trance, you know? Like, the one where he couldn't focus real well on the priest because he was too busy looking down at Shelby. He felt her squeeze his hands, bringing him somewhat back to life.
He drifted off into some kind of peaceful, happy haze, up until it was time to exchange rings. Snapping back into focus, he gently slid the ring up onto her finger, looking at her with the same smile that seemed to be plastered to his face. As soon as the haziness went away though, he was cast back into it, feeling as if he was almost dreaming reality. The priest's final line bounced through his ears though, and woke him up. 'You may kiss the bride.' Drave repeated in his head. Looking down at Shelby, his smile instantly grew, and he leaned his face in close to hers. Drave took a deep breath, before squeezing her hands once more and pressed his lips against hers.

Shell smiles lightly until she felt Draven kiss her lightly. She instantly wraps her arms around his neck, kissing him a little more deeper. Shell heard the priest cough, getting impatient with them, causing her to smile against his lips, but doesn't break the kiss. Shell wasn't going to break the kiss, she was going to let Draven break it whenever he wanted. She didn't care if they were up there for five minutes or more. It was their most important kiss and she wanted it to be perfect for the both of them. The priest sighs, shaking his head and coughs again. 'Mr. and Mrs. Draven Slayter?' he says in a questionable tone causing Shell to laugh now. [/size] |

Drave untangled his hands with hers again, and moved one of them to the small of her back to bring her closer to him. He smiled against her lips as he felt her deepen the kiss. The priest coughed, probably trying to alert them that he was expecting a quick peck on the lips and that was it. Draven ignored the guy and simply just didn't care if they stood up on the altar for an hour. This was their wedding kiss, after all; it was the one that would probably mean the most to both of them. He deepened the kiss a little, but broke away slowly as he heard Shelby, and himself beginning to laugh. "Guess everyone's waiting on us." Drave murmered with a small grin beginning to touch around the corners of his lips. This was it: they were finally married.

Shell laughs again, just staring into his eyes for a few seconds before nodding. "I would guess so Mr. Slayter." she says softly, kissing his lips quickly, pulling away just as fast. She takes a look at the priest seeing that he was shaking his head at them. "Time for your favorite part..." she smiles leaning up as much as she could and whispers into his ear, "The honeymoon." she smirks as she went back to her height as she started walking down the steps and turning around still with the smirk on her lips as she continued to walk backwards back down the aisle.

Chuckling under his breath a little, he was about to kiss her back, but she was already pulling away. He had to grin at her second statement though, the one about the honeymoon. Indeed, that would be his favorite part. Before he could even entertain ideas, Shelby was eager to just finish the wedding, no matter how close their honeymoon may be. In fact, she was already starting to walk back down the aisle. Draven shoved his weight and followed her down the steps, catching her and slinging his arm around his. "Wouldn't want to leave without me, remember?" He shot her a quick grin, glancing around at the few faces staring at them.

She glances up at the altar, watching Draven following her footsteps as she tried to hurry faster, but with her heels and that huge dress she wasn't gonna get anywhere faster than what she was going now. Shell smiles and laughs a little feeling her arm link with his. "Oh yeah, I knew I was forgetting something." she teases, turning around so his arms were now around her waist and looks around now at everyone looking at them with grins and were cheering still. "I love you hun." she whispers, leaning her head against his chest softly. [/size] |

She smiled through the entire ceremony. She was happy that Shell had decided to do this again. She deserved to be happy, again. She shook her head and laughed lightly as she saw Shell walking a bit ahead of Draven. After the continued the rest of their walk together, everyone else followed them to congratulate them.
