Rayne and Kade had been together for four and a half years. Now here she was standing in front of a mirror letting her mom and her sister put the finishing touches on her hair before leaving the make shift dressing room. This is it she thought to herself. She never thought the day would actually come when that incredibly intelligent, fun, frat boy in her introduction to chemistry class would be in the next room putting on a tux totally relaxed and nonchalant about spending forever with her. "I cant do this. I love him but; forever?" realizing she was talking to herself, she took off the veil walking to the door. She turned the knob but before she could open it Kade came in with one hand over his eyes.
"Hey baby! I know I'm not supposed to see you before you come down the aisle but I really need to tell you something. I love you, and spending the rest of our lives together... I knew from the moment I saw you that you were it for me." Rayne began to cry. Kane dropped his hand stunned momentarily. "Wow you are gorgeous! Baby, what's the matter?" Rayne stood there in her Versace wedding dress that she could only afford because she had found it at a second hand store with the tag partly cut off. Her long dark wavy curls hung down to the middle of her back. Her make up was nearly perfect, except for the mascara that had started to run. She always looked perfect in Kade's eyes.
"I don't think I can do this Kade. I'm scared." She slumped on the couch with her hands over her eyes.
"What is it? Did something happen? Did you fall out of love? What is it? Please tell me because you're really starting to scare me."
"No, no it's nothing like that I love you with all my heart, but..."
"Then what is it? You know you can tell me anything. What is it?"
"It's just... anything?" Kade nodded unsure of what bomb she was about to drop right before their wedding. "What's going to happen after we move in together? What if I'm a total nightmare and you can't stand me? It's not like you can just run back to your apartment." Realizing she was having another one of her irrational girly moments, Kade laughed at her.
"Then ill buy you some Prozac." He said trying to reassure her with a smile.
"That's not funny Kade, I'm serious." She looked up between the windows seeing a statue of the Virgin Mary, another excuse was brought to her mind. "What about kids? After I have kids my ass is going to get so huge, and my face is going to swell... I am going to get so old and..." Trying to catch her breath through her crying, "You're going to find some hot young piece of ass, and you're going to leave me."
Kade knelt in front of the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her big brown eyes glistening with tears; salty against her large lips. Pulling his shirt cuff from under his jacket he wiped her tears from her eyes and lifted her chin. "You are now, and will always be more beautiful than the day I met you. I could never love anyone the way I love you. I don't desire anyone else, and I will always, always remain faithful to you. I love you Rayne I always have, and I always will, nothing will change that." Rayne calmed down a little as Kade put his hand on hers. She stopped crying and leaned in to kiss him.
