My breath caught in my throat. The dress clung to my upper body flowing from my hips to the floor in a cascade of black silk. My shoulders were completely bare. Black floral velvet cutout on mesh sleeves started just off my shoulder and ended at my wrists. The sleeves are attached to the side of the bodice by three inches of black velvet. You could see a scandalous amount of skin in the upper portion of my dress. A combination of sexy and classy. It left me feeling like a queen.

The bodice widened enough to cover and cup my generous breasts. Dmitri and Gemini taped the girls, so they were pushed up, out and together. A corset effect without the corset. Black velvet flowed into black silk perfectly. The cups were covered in thousands of Swarovski crystals. Two thin ribbons held each cup up and led to a crystal collar. The collar covered half of my neck. It clasped at the back and had a single strand of larger cut crystals down my bare back. An inch and half black velvet band ran under my breasts, leaving everything else on my side bare to my hip.

The ribbon that ran in front sloped along my back gathering at my waist. Leaving my back mostly bare. A detachable black silk train swept from my hips to the floor and flowed out behind me. Dimitri styled my hair in an elegant chignon with a single braid around the base like a crown. A tiara of diamonds and garnet sat on top of my head. A gift from Pops. The man never stopped. A smile curved the corners of my mouth. Gambit and I had a surprise for everyone. We’d tell them at the reception tonight.

My makeup was perfect with dark liner making my blue eyes look bigger and we went for broke and did eyelash extensions. I had perfectly shaped matte black coffin shaped nails with blood red crystals on my ring fingers. And my deep red lips matched the bridesmaids’ dresses and groomsmen’s coats.

The men were wearing gothic style velvet coats with tails. Black for Gambit and Pops. Everyone else was wearing deep red. With black open collar shirts, vests, and black pants. Gambits vest is black and silver. Pops is all black to match my gown. He’s giving me away. The groomsmen Papa, Blue, Smoke and Outlaw had red and black vests. The red was the same shade as the coat. Instead of dress shoes or shit kickers Gambit bought each of the men a pair of Monolith Moto Boots. The knee-high black leather Steampunk inspired boots had laces, straps, and shit kicker style heels.

Willow, Nola, Nay and Kelsi were standing up with me. Fallon, the last member of our Cauldron, wanted to focus on making the cake. I still had no idea what flavor my wedding cake was. I woke up too late to choose. It would be delicious. Anything I’ve had of hers is amazing.

The ladies’ dresses were deep red and floor length. A combination of satin and velvet. Each with a style to suit their body type. Willow, my maid of honor, had black Swarovski crystals across her bust line.

A knock on the door was Dmitri heading to answer it. Pops stood there looking handsome in his black-on-black attire.

“Stormy, you look beautiful. Are you ready?”

“I am.”

He led me outside of the clubhouse; waiting in front was a black gypsy vanner. Its mane and tail braided and threaded with black and deep red roses.

“Since you’re supposed to be taking it easy, I thought you could ride to the gardens.”

I hugged him, giving him a kiss on the cheek. “Pops, you think of everything.”

He shook his head. “I can’t take credit for this. This is all Gambit.”

As if I couldn’t love my soon to be husband anymore, he goes and arranges for this surprise. I’ve always wanted a banner. Their beautiful horses. A smaller draft horse with an extra-long mane and tail.

Pops lifted me up on the horse. I sat side saddle holding on to the reins while he led the horse. Our path was lit by candles. We left the parking lot and headed down a long winding path to the gardens. When I spotted the finished garden tears sprang to my eyes. I had to fan my face to keep the tears from ruining my make-up. The garden was filled with fall plants. All with a gothic flare. In shades of black and deep red. They matched our wedding colors of black, red and silver. Beyond the gardens the candle lit path led me past the arch and my breath caught in my throat at the sight that greeted me.

POPS OUTDID HIMSELFwith the new barn. The outside looked aged and worn. Bare trees with moss and fairy lights dotted the surrounding area. Out back where the reception was held had dozens more of the same tree. It looked like the perfect place to hold a Gothic wedding on Halloween night. I walked around the barn and into the reception area. Our four-tiered black frosted cake sat in one corner of the room. Fallon had the bride and groom special made. The bride resembled La Calavera Catrin only with blue hair instead of black. And the room was me styled to look like Papa Legba. Top hat and all. All the men were wearing top hats. A nod to the clubs’ colors.

I checked my watch. Less than ten minutes. I better go round up the crew. We were set up in a side tent that was hidden from view. Candles lit the pathways. It was easy for him to navigate to the tent. His brothers waited for him. Papa clapped him on the back as soon as he entered.

“You ready for the old ball and chain?”

“First, fuck you. Second, hell yes. I can’t wait to marry the woman of my dreams.”

“Let’s roll,” Smoke said.

We all filed out. I spotted Bastien and Remy showing people to their seats. Our wedding was costume encouraged. The theme was vampire ball. It brought a smile to my face to see so many of my brothers from or affiliated clubs dressed for the occasion. Several wore their cuts over long-sleeved black shirts and black pants. A few had on frock coats and others wore coats similar in style to mine.

I took my place on center stage while my brothers all lined up at the other end to escort the women down the aisle.

Everything that happened over the next thirty minutes was a complete blur. The only thing that stuck in my memory was seeing Stormy walk down the aisle in that dress. It took everything I had not to bend her over and fuck her right here in front of everyone.

She looked so fucking hot in that dress; I thought I had a permanent hard on. Once the vows and pictures were over, we headed to the reception. Trinity’s new place catered our sit-down dinner and as expected everything was amazing. When it was time for the music to start, I slipped away and up on the stage. A guitar sat to the side on a stage waiting for me. Blue and Outlaw joined me. I began with Lee Brice’s ‘Soul’.

“This next song is how I felt from the moment I met you, bébé.”

We launched into ‘Kinfolks’ by Sam Hunt. When the song ended, I jumped off the stage and took her into my arms. The DJ played Type O Negative’s version of ‘Summer Breeze’.

After the dance was over, I pulled Stormy up on stage.

“Before we cut the cake, we have some news.”
