Coming Home For Christmas

Chapter 11 - The Wedding - Par... 4 Chapter 11 - The Wedding - Part 1 “In your eyes, I'm alive, inside you're beautiful something so unusual in your eyes, I know I'm home, yeah, every tear, every fear, gone with the thought of you, changing what I thought I knew, /ll be yours for a thousand lives’ ~ Rita Ora Lacey's POV This...this look right here is exactly how I imagined myself to look on my wedding day

My mom smiles at me and hands me my bouquet of cream and pale yellow roses which have got a pale yellow ribbon wrapped around the stem We then left my room and headed downstairs where my best men, bridesmaids, my gramps and my father are all standing waiting for me

My adult bridesmaids are wearing a light yellow, flowing chiffon dress with a split in the side, a boat neck with a pleated front on the chest along with silver heels and their hair has been styled in waves with some up and some down but their hair is different to mine and their make-up is kind of similar to mine except their eye make-up is bolder than mine is and some of them have gone the extra mile with highlighter and blush It's a personal preference is alll can keep telling myself even though I don't like how bold their make-up looks As for my little bridesmaids they're wearing a light yellow puffy princess dress with little roses on the top and some of the hip part of the dress, white pumps and their hair has been styled into a bun with a pale yellow ribbon wrapped around their hair and matching rose clips on the sides

My bridesmaids have also got a pale yellow bouquet of roses With a cream ribbon wrapped around the stem and the younger girls have got a small white basket filled with light yellow rose petals for them to throw as they walk down the aisle All of the guys are wearing a grey suit with a grey waistcoat, a white shirt, a light yellow tie and black shoes while my boys are all wearing white shirts, light grey waistcoats, pants with black suspenders on them, a grey bow tie and black shoes

They all look so cute and my heart skips a beat as I look at my brood looking so beautiful and handsome “Mummy, you look so beautiful” “Yeah mum, you look like a princess” Teddy and Dayton said happily “Thank you, my babies” I'say while blowing them a kiss “I think you should change mum, I don't think daddy would be happy seeing you dressed like this” “Jeez, thanks Lo"

I say while rolling my eyes and chuckling “I'm not being horrible, mummy, I'm just saying, I don't think dad will want all of the boys looking at you in that dress" “He's got a point, kid" Ryker said and I glared at him “Don't encourage him, Ryker and you, if your father's got a problem with my outfit then he's just gonna have to deal with it, isn't he?" “Yes, mummy" Logan Junior smiled at me and I smiled back at him “We need to get this service started ASAP guys, Logan looks like an angry wolf on the prow! out there”

My grams says before taking a sip of her gin “Bunny, seriously..could you not wait until AFTER the ceremony to start drinking?” “Girl, be serious Bunny chuckles before walking away Chapter 11 - The Wedding - Par. — I looked at my grandfather feeling stumped and he immediately understood where [ was coming from “Don't worry, sweetheart, I'l go and sort your grandmother out”

My grandfather quickly ran after my grams as I rubbed my forehead in frustration while looking at my dad who was looking at me with stars in his eyes "What are you looking at me like that for, dad?" “Because you look stunning, that's why, love"

My dad said with a proud smile as he gently cupped my face and kissed my forehead before looking me in the eyes “I can't even begin to put it into words how much I love you, Lacey and also how insanely proud I am of you" “Ialready know, dad, I promise you" My dad smiles at me as he kisses my cheek “I can't believe the day has finally come where I get to give you away and I can't think of anyone better to give you away to than Logan Black” "Why? because we're merging with the Black family when you

do" Ijoke around with him and he laughs “That is a perk, sweetheart but no, it's because I think of Logan as my own son and I can't think of a better husband for you than him" "Better than Dylan?" Task with a smirk and he scoffs while rolling his eyes “Even better than that dipshit” “Hey, I'm standing right here" Dylan whines from behind my dad

Dylan whines from behind my dad We both looked at Dylan and Luca who looked offended by my dad's Chapter 11 - The Wedding - Par. ©) words, not that I can blame them because I'd feel the exact same way as well if I were them “Get in your positions, idiots, the ceremony is about to start" My dad groaned and I chuckled as the boys walked off looking annoyed

I've never been one of those girls who knew from day dot how she wanted her wedding to look or where she wanted it, the colour scheme, the menu, you know things like that but 1 always knew that I wanted to look sexy and classy on my wedding day and Ido

“Looking back I don't know why I was so desperate to see you guys together” My dad said as he looked back at me "To be fair, I feel the same way..no offence to Dylan but I honestly can't see myself feeling or looking at him in the same way I do with Logan" “That's because you deserve a man who will give you the world and you've got that, baby" “Thanks, daddy" Thug my dad just as Neyo's Never Knew I Needed starts to play

Ithen let out a breath to calm my nerves as my gramps came back in while holding Bunny's gin glass which he handed off to a waiter and told him to keep it hidden until the after-party “I swear your grandmother is going to be the death of me” “Mom is the epitome of living every day like it's your last, dad “Well, she's certainly drinking every day like it's her last, son" Duke said with a sigh and we both chuckled My bridesmaids and best men went out one couple at a time after my daughter and nieces who are my flower girls went

out and had their little moment My heart was beating a mile a minute and I had to take several deep breaths as I watched the line go down until it was just myself, my dad and Chapter 11 - The Wedding - Par...) I my grandfather left standing there I wasn't acting like this because I was nervous but because [ didn't realise how much the lyrics to this song described Logan and me until I heard them For the way you changed my plans, for being the perfect distraction, for the way you took the idea that I have of everything that I wanted to have and made me see there was something missing

For the ending of my first beginning and for the rare and unexpected friend, for the way you're something that I'd never choose but at the same time, something I don't wanna lose and never wanna be without ever again You're the best thing I never knew I needed, so when you were here I had no idea, you'd be the best thing I never knew Ineeded, so now it's so clear, I need you here always

This is literally our song, no wonder I couldn't get it out of my head when I was thinking about what song I wanted to walk down the aisle to or it could just be that Teddy and Sophia have been watching The Princess And The Frog non-stop lately, not that I can blame them, it's a great movie Anyway, my feelings for Logan keep getting stronger and stronger with each passing day and he makes my heart skip a beat just from the sound of his voice or from a mere thought of him or a quick glance at him Logan is also the only person who makes me want to be a better person and work harder to live a beautiful and amazing life with him and

“It's your turn, lambchop” My grandfather says as he and my dad kiss my temples I closed my eyes and sighed in contentment feeling like the luckiest girl in the whole world I've got an amazing grandfather, a wonderful father who I've had a rocky relationship with but now we'e at peace with each other and these two incredible humans are about to give me away to my love We walked out into Klayton's garden area and I gasped slightly when I saw how beautiful and classy it looked There are probably around two maybe three hundred white chairs set into a dozen rows, a fluffy white runner going

down the aisle which looks like rose petals but it's not, it's just a thin carpet that's all Two cream pillars at the end of the aisle with a clear vase full of white roses on each of them and two tall, clear candle holders with floating candles in them next to the pillars, there are also a set of candles at the end of each row of chairs as well At the other end of the aisle on the steps of a building my cousin calls a gazebo but it's not, is a white floral archway with a table behind it and standing in it is the pastor and my handsome man who is dressed in a suit similar to our best men f**k me sideways on a motorbike Why does this man always look so f*****g sexy and dreamy?

Even when he's just woken up and his hair is a mess and his breath smells like the back end of a badger, he's still the hottest man alive Logan's proud and beautiful smile became more prominent the closer we got to him and I had to clench my thighs together because of how Chapter 11 - The Wedding - Par... w turned on he was making me feel When we got to the end of the aisle, my dad and gramps both kissed my cheeks before handing me over to my husband “This should be the part where we tell you to look after our little lambchop, Logan but we've already seen how well youve looked after her, not to mention how happy you've

made her feel as well, so please just take care off her for us" “Twill, Duke, I promise you" Logan said while winking at me “Don't worry, gramps, uncle Klayton and grandpa Seppe said that theyll let my dad play with their sharks if he ever hurts their principessa, I don't know why though, that sounds like a treat to me, nota punishment” Dayton says while muttering the last part to my grandfather but everyone including me heard him All of our guests awed and chuckled at Dayton while I glared at my dumbass cousin because I knew exactly what he meant, hell, anyone who has ever seen The Godfather knows

what Klayton means by that statement “Don't look at me like that, Lacey sweetheart, you're the principessa of the Antonelli famiglia and you know better than anyone how over-protective we are of you" Yeah, don't I know it I thought to myself while rolling my eyes I really wish my family would respect me and my decisions enough to keep my kids out of this mafia bullshit but hey, I guess that's completely unavoidable when you've been born into it

My hair has been styled in asome up and some down style, it's been curled into waves and some hair has been left out to frame my face as well, I've also got a silver clip in my hair which looks like something a Greek goddess would've worn back in their day My make-up is a stunning sun-kissed look with soft browns, creams and golds on my eyes along with black eyeliner, mascara and false eyelashes, a slight rouge on my cheeks with a little bit of highlighter for some glow and a nude ombre combination on my lips

Thad this radiance and glow about me that those around me would immediately think this was a pregnancy glow when they saw me but obviously, it's not, so, it's either a healthy and happy glow, a make-up glow Chapter 11 - The Wedding - Par... =) or a bit of both As for my dress, I was inspired by Hailey Bieber's dress, I mean, I can't stand the girl but her wedding dress was absolutely stunning

Weirdly enough, it's a style that I never would have imagined wearing on my own big day but after I saw her dress, I couldn't get it out of my head, so I had my designer create a dress that was similar but not the same if that makes any sense My dress is a white, lace, long-sleeved, off-the-shoulder, mermaid style dress with a sweetheart neckline and a train at the bottom, I'm also wearing a white lace thong, a white garter and pearly white heels which have also got pearls embellished on them as well For my jewellery, I'm wearing a cluster leaf white gold jewellery set which once belonged to my late grandmother Olivia and it includes earrings, a necklace and a bracelet, I'm also wearing my engagement ring as well

Speaking of my beautiful engagement ring, I was looking down at it with a huge smile on my face as my mom finished buttoning up my dress “You look absolutely stunning, my dear daughter” “Thank you, mom" I'say with a smile as I look at my beautiful mother through the mirror “You look amazing too, I think daddy's gonna have a hard time keeping his hands off you when he sees how gorgeous you look in that dress” I'say and she rolls her eyes while chuckling "When can't that man keep his hands off me, Lacey, I swear

it's the Chapter 11 - The Wedding - Par. y Italian in him" She says and I scrunch my face up in confusion “Dad's not Italian mom, he's English” I'say and my mom looks at me like really, Lacey? “Baby, your father has definitely got some Italian in him, I swear it, where else do you think your grandmother found her addiction to drinking?" Oh my godThis belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

thought to myself with a chuckle “Mom, Bunny isn't addicted first of all and secondly, the Brits are very well known for their love of alcohol, so maybe it's in the British blood to drink alcohol like it's water” “That's true... swear there's more gin pumping through that woman's veins than there is blood, Lacey my darling, now...” My mom said as she let out a breath and looked me up and down “I can't get over how beautiful you look, Lacey” She said whilst holding both of my hands in hers “I can't believe this day has come and you're finally getting married”

"I'm already married, mom" I said with a smile “You know what I mean, sweetheart” She said while waving her hand like she was waving away what I said “Besides, your London wedding was more Logan being an impatient brat wanting to mark his territory, this..this right here is your real wedding, are you ready?” Chapter 11 - The Wedding - Par. ad I briefly look at myself in the mirror and smile “Definitely”
