Diane's POV
Oh, it's the day of my wedding! The day I have been longing for is finally here. The day I have dreamed of since I was a child… I spent months imagining how today was going to be, how I would look in my wedding dress with the man of my dreams standing tall next to me, and now that it is finally happening, all I can do is smile.
I have always believed that one could spend a lifetime with their first and only true love, and walking down the aisle will prove that to the world. Desmond was the only constant thing in my life, and I have loved him since I was twelve and he was sixteen.
He was the definition of the perfect gentleman. His words and actions melt my heart, and I just want to stay in his arms forever. I loved the way he cared about me, the way he was always ready to fight for me, protect me or have my back…
Well, that was until he went to college.
Desmond was all I prayed for before he went to college. He was my prince charming. He loves me and he doesn't even have to spell it out; I could see it in his eyes.
But then, he went to college and things began to feel different. He never has time to join the family dinner, there is always one assignment or a presentation that swallows his time and he just becomes less accessible…
"Let's not ruin the day by thinking about irrelevant things," I thought to myself, as I continued to stare at myself in the mirror.
"Omg! You are so beautiful," Hilary said, grinning from ear to ear. "I have always known that you are going to make a beautiful bride, gosh, I am so proud of you," my best friend said, and all I could do was hold back the tears that were threatening to leave my eyes.
I stared at my reflection in the mirror and all I could do was gasp. I feel so lucky to have the most supportive family and friends to grant my biggest wish.
"I have dressed up a couple of brides in the past, but you are one pretty one. Most brides are always emotional on their wedding day, contemplating whether they should proceed with it or not, but you are a happy one," my makeup artists said, and I beamed.
"Thank you so much, guys, thank you."
I continued to stare at my reflection in total awe, and heck, everything I did to make this dream come true was worth it. If I must, I will go through the whole process once again, as long as I get the same result.
The door cracked open, revealing my mom and I couldn't stop myself from hugging her. "Thank you so much, Mom," I hugged her tightly, and she patted my back.
"It's time, baby," Mom announced, and I could feel my stomach bubbling with excitement. I was beaming so hard that my cheeks hurt.
Mom signalled everyone to leave the room until it was just the two of us, and I couldn't hold back my excitement.
"Mom, it's happening! I am officially going to be Desmomd's wife, my dream is finally coming true," I beamed.
"Knowing what you want and going for it is a strength that I admire in you. I am so proud of you, darling, I hope you remain happy forever." She kissed my forehead and wrapped my hands around her again.
If it wasn't for my supportive parents, this would probably remain a dream… I owe them a lot.
"Your father is waiting outside, you shouldn't keep him waiting."
With that being said, Mom walked me out, as she kept on mouthing how beautiful I am, and how proud she is.
