The day was finally here. Our wedding. I didn't get more than a few hours of sleep last night. Despite Cody and I helping each other fall asleep over the phone, I kept waking up throughout the night. But some sleep is better than no sleep, especially when I plan on staying up all night tonight. Saying I was a nervous wreck the entire day was a huge understatement. I woke up at 7 in the morning today and for the rest of the day I was jittery. I switched between calling Cody, who probably wanted to turn off his phone at this point, to calling the wedding planner to make sure everything was going smoothly and that security was on point (to make sure paparazzi and shitty, famewhore, word vomit dads were NOT allowed in if they so happened to show up

I rolled out of bed at about 10 o'clock like a kid on Christmas morning. I almost ran out of the hotel room in my boxers to go wake everyone up to tell them it was my wedding day. Then I realized that it was 10 in the morning and I was probably one of the final ones waking up. Demi had of course worked her magic by singing me to sleep and just speaking soothing words to me. I just hoped Demi had got some sleep as well. I'd barely even been awake when Demi called me for the first time that day. She seemed to have been waiting for a certain time limit to lapse to call me because I was pretty sure she called me every hour on the hour. But I didn't mind in the slightest, I missed her like crazy even though it hadn't even been 24 hrs since I'd seen her. After eating a huge lunch, I waited long enough for my stomach to settle as well as for Demi's hourly call before I decided to go for a run because I was already jittery and hyper as shit. I needed to let out some of that energy so I went on a short run. When I returned from my run, my mom

It took about half an hour to calm her down for the time being and then there was a knock on the door. I walked to the door and opened it up to see my Dad and step-mom in the hallway. I grinned as my dad pulled me into the biggest hug I think I'd ever received from him. We spoke and caught up for a while until I was told it was time for me to head out to the garden. My heart began to pound and my stomach twisted as I walked out to the garden that looked absolutely beautiful. I couldn't believe this was for my wedding. It felt like I was in the garden for hours before the music started for the bridesmaids to walk in. Every single one of them flashed me a grin or a wink or both and I just grinned in return. When I saw Maddie at the end of the aisle holding Venny on a leash, I felt a lump forming in my throat. She looked absolutely adorable and she looked like she wouldn't be happier anywhere else. Venny walked like the perfectly trained dog he was and only acted up when he got to me as he tried to give me a kiss. I leaned over and pet

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

It took us about half an hour to get through our photoshoot smoothly, since our chemistry and poses seem to always come naturally to us. They brought out a golf cart to the gardens to give us a ride back into the castle since it was pretty far away. Between Cody and the planner, they helped me sit in the back row of the golf cart, adjusting my dress' train so that it wouldn't get squashed. And once I was comfortable in, Cody sat next to me as the planner rode in the front. We finally had a few minutes of peace and quiet before we entered the loud and filled reception where we would be the rest of the night. "You look so handsome," I intertwined our fingers again as I moved my face forward to pop kiss his lips again, rubbing some of my freshly put lipgloss onto his lips. "Sorry," I giggled as I pulled away and softly wiped at his lips with my free hand's thumb. "Everything about our wedding is so perfect though. Look at this place," I motioned around the castle's beautiful yard. "Look at who I married," I pointed at him now. "Perfect.

WHile we were taking picture, I practically had to be held back from Demi while they took picture of just her and then of her and her bridesmaids. Fortunately, I was allowed to go back to her after a few minutes and I immediately wrapped her up in my arms planting a big kiss on her lips. We finished up with the pictures quicker than I had expected and a golf cart swung around to pick us up and bring us back to where the reception was being held. The planner and I helped get Demi situated in the cart then I sat down next to her, where she immediately grabbed my hand. I looked over at her and grinned at her. I was positive that my smile was bigger than my face right about now. She gave me a quick little kiss which got her lip gloss on my lips and I made a kissy face as she giggled and wiped it from my lips. "And the bride," I added in. "The most beautiful bride in the world. You're perfect, baby. I love you." She flashed me the small shy smile that I knew all too well. I wanted to just stay and stare at her and kiss her for the rest of

When we walked into the reception, all of our guests stood up and cheered for us, making me blush a bit. I knew everyone's attention would be on us all night so I had to get used to it. And I knew I had Cody there to help me out every time I got embarrassed or needed to squeeze his hand. We walked over to our isolated table, for just us two, and once Cody helped me and my billion pound dress sit down, my hand immediately found his. The servers started bringing out everyone's dinner plates, handing everyone whichever they preferred between a steak or chicken dinner. I ordered the chicken, solely because it had more side orders that I liked, so I had every intention of pushing the chicken part of it to the side and downing the rest of it

"Our first dance as husband and wife," I whispered to Cody with a huge face-eating smile. Cody stood up and helped me push my chair back before holding out a hand to help me up. Hand in hand we walked to the center of the cleared out dance floor, where everyone stood up from their chairs and circled around the dancefloor. Cody and I went to a dance class to teach us how to do the waltz for this dance, but God knows I couldn't remember the steps very well. Luckily, my husband is practically a professional dancer and knew the moves from when he was on Dancing with the Stars. He moved my hand to the starting step, which helped me remember how the dance started off. The music started and I immediately recognized the beat as You and I by Michael Buble. But it wasn't until I heard 'here we are on earth together' that my head snapped to the side. That was not a recording. I saw a crowd of familiar faces but not the face I was looking for. I turned my head to the left side now, and straight front and center with a microphone in his hand,
