As we walked out to the garden, led by all the bridesmaids and groomsmen, my heart started palpitating. I got a few words of encouragement from everyone and that helped me calm a bit, but once we were outside and by the stairs that would lead down the aisle, my calmness shot out the window. I watched as one by one all of my bridesmaids and Cody's friends and brothers headed down the aisle. I kept squeezing Eddy's hand, a habit I do to Cody when I'm nervous, but Eddy just asked me if something was wrong. He didn't know what that meant like Cody always does. "Nervous," I spoke under my breath, as I saw it was almost Madi and Venny's time to go but Venny was planted by my feet. "Shoot," I muttered to myself, bending down to rub his ears. "Baby, go find Daddy. Go with Madi to find Daddy, mommy will be there in a few seconds, ok?" He seemed to understand that because he was on his way in no time, meaning I was next.

I heard the music change to the Bridal March and I knew it was time. I squeezed Eddy's hand as he led the way first, helping me down the stairs. I wanted to look around at the audience first and give them a smile because I knew once I locked eyes on Cody, they wouldn't be leaving there. But when I finished walking down the steps and I looked up, Cody was the first thing I saw. I felt the tears start building up in my tear ducts and I started taking deep breaths and exhaling through my mouth, not wanting to ruin my makeup or look ridiculous. But he just looked so handsome in his tuxedo, standing tall and with his hair neatly done. This perfect man was about to become my husband. I squeezed Eddy’s hand again as I felt my breathing grow short the closer I got to Cody, until finally we reached the bottom step of the gazebo.

I quickly pulled my eyes away from Cody, as I remembered that I had to kiss Eddy because it signifies him giving me away to my husband. I turned to half-face Eddy and leaned up to kiss his cheeks, but before pulling away, I wrapped my arms around his neck and squeezed him tightly. “Thank you,” I whispered into his ear before pulling away. I meant that in so many ways. I looked back at Cody and noticed that his eyes were watery, as he places his thumbs on my cheeks to softly wipe away my own tears. Hand in hand, we walked up the steps and stood at the altar, in front of the pastor, more than ready to become Mrs. Linley. Although my eyes did not pull away from Cody’s captivating, blue/green eyes, my ears were fully listening to the pastor because I wanted to remember every second of today.
