His Beautiful Addiction

Chapter 310 - Wedding Day

''Get ready, she's coming out now. ''

Gwen whispered excitedly to everyone as they stood in front of her closed dressing room; they waited excitedly as they watched the closed doors; after a few seconds, the door opened and Tiana walked out majestically in her long wedding gown.

There was a momentary pause as their eyes fell on the beauty before them. She looked like she was just let down from the sky. Her steps sounded on the floor as her light chuckle brought them back to their senses;

''How do I look? ''

Elizabeth and Grandma just walked in and that was the first sight that met their eyes;

''Oh my God! Tiana, you are beautiful, this is too much for my eyes! ''

Grandma exclaimed as she walked to her and embraced her in a beautiful hug. She was so happy that her eyes teared up;

''I can't believe this is happening; I think someone should wake me up. ''

Grandma cried and others laughed; the cameramen were there to record every scene of it. Everyone felt so emotional, Gwen was not left out. Even though she wished she was the one, seeing Tiana look so happy, her heart wavered a little, and she decided for that day, she would just be happy for her.

''Tiana, I always knew you were the one for that stone-cold nephew of mine, thank God you didn't leave him, I'm so happy for the both of you. '' Elizabeth beamed happily as she hugged Tiana.

''Thank you, thank you so much, everyone.'' she said, breathing in and out;

''Wooh, this is really happening! '' Everyone laughed at her exclamation. It still felt unreal. Even last night, she couldn't sleep; she kept turning on the bed, staring at the ceiling. She knew he wouldn't be able to sleep too. They didn't sleep together as Grandma insisted that they wouldn't, she even made sure they didn't contact each other for two days, so they would get the real feel of the wedding. They didn't want to argue with her, so they just let her have her way.

 ''We need to get going now, everyone is waiting; '' Gwen said, pulling them from their thoughts, she walked to Tiana and held her hand; she noticed that Tiana was sweating on her face a little and she took out her handkerchief and dabbed on her forehead;

''You can do this. '' she smiled at her and handed her her flowers;

Tiana nodded with a charming smile as she took the flowers from her;

''I'm so glad you're here by my side, Gwen. '' She said and hugged her, tears gathering in her eyes.

''What do I do without you?''

Gwen laughed and patted her back; ''Alright, there's no time to be emotional; we're running late, you don't want to keep him waiting. ''

Tiana let her go with a small laugh and they left to go to the venue.

Tiana's heart raced as she sat at the back of the car with Gwen. She didn't know why she was so nervous, she saw him two days ago but she was feeling as though she was going to be seeing someone new.

Tiana swallowed as the guard helped her step down from the car, Gwen handing her her flowers. 

We'll be at the altar, she whispered and hurried quickly inside the hall. Elizabeth and Grandma walked with her to the entrance.

''You can do this Tiana, don't look at anyone else; '' Grandma encouraged with a sweet smile and she nodded, and then they left to enter through the other entrance.

Tiana closed her eyes as she readied herself;

One

Two

Three…

The high doors of the auditorium opened and a calm music started in the air, and as she looked up her eyes locked in the most mesmerizing eyes she had ever seen;

(Song, A thousand Years, by Christiana Perri)

Hearts beat fast, colors and promises…

How to be brave, how can I love when I'm afraid to fall

But watching you stand alone, all of my doubts suddenly goes away somehow…

Tiana's heart raced fast as she clung unto the flowers with her both hands, her eyes were drowning in his even when they were meters apart;

One step closer…

She took the first step now;

I have died every day waiting for you, darling don't be afraid

I have loved you for a thousand years; I'll love you for a thousand more…

The gap between them closed in and even when they're over twenty people in the hall, she could only see him, time stood still and everything else disappeared, and it was just the two of them;

Time stands still, beauty in all she is…

I will be brave, I will not let anything take away

What's standing in front of me…

Every breath, every hour has come to this

One step closer…

Nicklaus could hear the loud beating of his heart in his ears. He had many fantasies of how she would look like in his head, but when his eyes fell on her, none of his imaginations could compare. As she walked towards him, in full perfection and excellence, his breath ceased;

If beautiful was human, she was beautiful.

I have died every day waiting for you

Darling don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years;

I'll love you for a thousand more,

And all along I believed time would find you,

Time has brought your heart to me, I have loved you for a thousand years,

I'll love you for a thousand more…

Tiana stopped in front of him, her chest heaving;

For a second, she blinked to be sure she wasn't dreaming. This man right here, as beautiful and gorgeous was going to be hers forever.

The song died down slowly and Tiana licked her lips as she tried to ease her nervousness;

''Hey; '' she whispered, her eyes never looked away from him all the while;

''Hey; '' Nicklaus smirked charmingly and she smiled; tears gathering in her eyes. He had a fresh messy haircut, which made him look more handsome if that was possible, and indeed, it felt like they were meeting for the first time.

''You are dazzling, beautiful.''

Tiana beamed tearfully;

''you're perfect, baby. ''
