Chris and Christie: Making it work part 3

... signaled for them to rise, then turned towards the back of the garden and let out a gasp as she squeezed Chris’s arm. Hailey stood framed in a temporary archway constructed of ivy and laced with tulips. The late afternoon sun shone behind her, giving her a radiant shimmer. She looked like a vision in her wedding dress with her green eyes sparkling as she looked down the aisle at James. The string quartet began playing Pachelbel’s Cannon in D and she proceeded to walk down the aisle with her father. Christie felt tears spring to her eyes, and she slipped her hand into Chris’s. Wordlessly, he retrieved some tissue from his pocket and handed it to her and she dabbed her eyes. As Hailey reached the front of the aisle, the preacher signaled to them to sit down. From where she was sitting, she had a clear view of Hailey, and the love in her eyes was evident. She wasn’t thinking of Chris, or any other guy she had been with. Her entire focus was James.

Even if he hadn’t acted on it yet, he had to admit that whenever things got a little rocky, he would start looking around. Maybe I don’t love her as much as I think I do if I’m not holding onto her when things are tough... They came to the end of the ceremony and as the preacher directed James to kiss Hailey, Christie dabbed at her eyes again. As the wedding party headed back down the aisle, the guests stood. Christie placed her arm in Chris’s and pulled him in close. “Baby, do you think that will be us some day?” She asked with hope in her voice.
