Ariana has been in a good mood since today was our wedding day now a nigga not gone lie I'm kind of nervous but ain't no backing out.
"Dude you about to be a married man in less than two hours how it feel". Chauncey asked fixing his suit in the hotel mirror.
"s**t feels good I got the love of my life and my two beautiful children s**t is perfect". I said smiling thinking about my family as I tied my tie.
"Couldn't be me". He said causing me to look over at him.
"Nigga you damn near forty and you still on the same s**t grow the f**k up if you don't plan on marrying that girl then leave her alone and let the next man do it". I said causing him to look over at me like I was crazy.
"Nigga what I'm not letting her go". He said mugging me.
"Nigga y'all been together longer than me Ariana so if you don't see yourself being with her, in the long run, let another nigga do it and make her happy". I said with a shrug brushing my hair.
"Nigga where is all this s**t coming from". He asked walking over to me.
"Dude she been talking to Ariana about how she feel and Ariana my baby if she want to sit there and complain for hours on end I'm gone sit there and listen to her". I said turning towards him away from the mirror.
"Damn I didn't know she felt like that". He said making me look at him like he was dumb.
"Nigga let me lay something down for you". I said walking over to the couch sitting down.
"Your girl should not have to tell you when something's wrong with her or bothering her you should see that s**t and notice that she ain't acting the same and it's your job as her dude to make sure she straight and vice versa if y'all not doing that in y'all relationship then what y'all together for". I asked leaning back into the couch.
"I'll see you after the wedding". He said standing up and walking out.
"Your uncle Chauncey is clueless come on so I can get you ready". I said grabbing Rhyland tossing him in the air causing him to smile.
•ARIANA•
Sitting in the chair I scroll on my phone as Tae does my hair.
"I can't believe you're getting married before me". Chanel said causing me to look over at her.
"Girl don't start yo s**t on the day of my Best friend's wedding". Tae said pointing the curling iron at her.
"I'm just saying I been with Chauncey longer than she been with Southside". She said with a shrug.
If it wasn't a special day in my life she would definitely be hearing my mouth but I'll let Tae handle it.
"Girl so what obviously your dude don't want to marry you so you need to see wassup with him". He said going back to doing my hair.
"Ariana what did you do that I didn't do". She asked and I could feel her looking at me making me look up from my phone at her.
"Girl I didn't do anything but treat my man good and he did the same in return I'm not saying we didn't argue but what relationships don't have problems". I said before looking down at my phone again.
"I'll see you after the wedding". She said leaving out of the room.
"Girl what is wrong with yo sister she starting to sound a little jealous". He said spraying some hair spray.
"I don't know what's gotten into her but she needs to fix it but come help me put on my dress while meadow still sleep". I said standing up and grabbing my dress.
|Wedding|
Standing outside the door I link my arms with Tae's as the doors opened and here comes the bride started playing. Meadow started walking throwing rose petals in front of us as I looked around before looking at Southside.
Finally making it in front of Southside I notice he was crying.
"Baby stop". I said wiping his eyes before fanning mines trying not to mess up my make up.
"You look beautiful". He said running his hand down his face sniffling.
"Thank you". I said smiling at him.
"Ariana and Joshua - Today you enter as individuals, but you will leave here as husband and wife, blending your lives, expanding your family ties, and embarking upon the grandest adventure of human interaction. The story of your life together is still yours to write. All those present have come to witness and celebrate your love and commitment this day - eager to be a part of the story not yet told."The marriage officiant said looking around the room.
"Please speak now if you believe this couple should not be wedded today". He said and we both looked out at the guest.
"Repeat after me". He said saying what we had to say.
"I, Ariana, take you, Joshua, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part, "I said holding his hands and he smiled down at me.
"I, Joshua, take you, Ariana, to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part."He said bringing my hands up to his lips kissing them.
"The rings please". He says and Rhyland runs up handing him the rings before running back to his seat.
"I give you this ring, a symbol of my love, as I give to you, all that I am, and accept from you, all that you are, "I said sliding the ring on his finger rubbing it with a smile.
"I give you this ring as a symbol of my love and faithfulness. As I place it on your finger, I commit my heart and soul to you. I ask you to wear this ring as a reminder of the vows we have spoken today, our wedding day."He says sliding the ring on my finger looking down at me.
"And now, by the power vested in me I hereby pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride." He says and Southside lifts the vail pushing it back before grabbing my face and kissing me as people began to cheer.
Breaking the kiss we walk down the stairs before jumping the broom and walking down the aisle.

|Reception|
Walking in the room holding Ariana's hand we walk into the middle of the floor and I turn towards the Dj booth and nod my head. And this is why I love you by major started playing and we swayed back and forth. I place my head in the crook of her neck and sing the song to her.
After a while the song ended and people stood up clapping before the song switched over and everybody came to the floor dancing.
Seeing Meadow and Rhyland dancing we squat down hyping them up.
"AYYYE". I yelled smiling as they danced.
"My babies with the s**t". Ariana said standing up as I did the same.
Leaving the dance floor we go and sit at our table looking around.
"I love you and I'm proud to say you're my wife". I said throwing my arm around her shoulders kissing her neck causing her to smile.
"I love you too". She said leaning into me looking out at our family and friends.
Looking down at her I watch as she smiled and laughed.
I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with her...
