TWENTY-FIVE
We stayedin bed a bit longer before consuming far more food than any human could imagine. Then we showered, and headed out.
I did my makeup on my own while Rocco headed out to find his tux—which Zed was holding on to for him. We were planning on meeting at the wedding, since he wasn’t supposed to see me in the dress and whatnot.
My hair went up in a messy bun, and I didn’t bother with a veil, since I wasn’t all that traditional.
The other girls arrived with my dress as I finished up, and they helped me into the thing while quickly doing their own makeup. We weren’t bothering with bridesmaids or groomsmen, since the wedding would be tiny and intimate, and I didn’t really care about that stuff. No one seemed offended about that, luckily.
We arrived in the forest just on time, and parked in the space Ozzy gestured us toward. He grinned at me, offering his arm as Tea and Ebony helped me out of the car.
“This is crazy,” I whispered to them.
“It’s perfect,” Tea told me, beaming at me.
Her grin was contagious, and I couldn’t hold back my own smile.
“You wanted an instant-husband,” Ebony reminded me, grinning just as widely as Teagan. “We’ll be on June watch. Just enjoy the ceremony.” She and Tea left me with Ozzy, heading down the aisle before me.
My fingers landed in Ozzy’s elbow as I stared into the forest. Anxiety and excitement warred in my chest. I hoped Rocco grinned at me when he saw me—I hoped he was as happy about it as I was.
“Maybe I should’ve planned this out more,” I whispered to Ozzy.
He chuckled, still grinning. “The best moments in life aren’t the ones you plan, Del.”
I didn’t think truer words had ever been spoken.
“Thanks for doing this,” I told him, as the song came on that cued our walk.
“It’s a privilege to walk my only daughter down the aisle,” he told me, his grin fading to a genuine smile.
I returned the smile, and off we went.
