Epilogue
It was May 3rd 2003, the day nick and
I were getting married. We had picked the beach for the perfect setting. We
would say our vows as the sunset right over the Gulf of Mexico. I looked at my
dress in the mirror one last time before it was time to walk down the isle. I
heard a knock on my door.
"Come in" I said as I saw
Leighann walk in.
"hey leigh" I said hugging
her.
"Hey you look great" She
said as she hugged me back.
"thank you" I said.
"Its time" she said as I
took a deep breath and walked out of the little place I was in. I was all the
way at the end of the line of Bride maids. I picked Nick's sister B.J. to be
the maid of honor since I had no sisters of my own. I heard the organ start to
play another tune as I started to walk down the isle. I smiled as I saw Nick
standing there in his black tuxedo his hair gelled back. I made it up to the
alter as Nick took my hands and my father said " I do". Nick looked
me in the eyes and I smiled. The priest started to say the vows.
"Dearly beloved we are here today
to join Nickolas gene carter and Rachael Ann Johnson in holy matermony".
The priest started.
"Do you Nickolas Gene carter take
Rachael Ann Johnson to be your lawfully wedded wife? To love and to honor in
Sickness and health?" The priest said. I looked at nick.
"I do," he said as he smiled
at me.
"Do you Rachael Ann Johnson take
Nickolas gene Carter to be your awfully wedded husband? To love and to honor in
sickness and in health?" The priest said.
"I do".
"With the power vested in me I
know pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride". As soon as
the priest said those words Nick and I were sharing a passionate kiss. We
walked down the isle and out the church door as rice was thrown at us. We
covered our heads as we made it to our limo that had the "Just
Married" sign on the back.
2 years later I discovered I pregnant
with twins. I had a boy and a girl who born healthy little babies unlike Faith.
We named them Nick JR. and Samantha. Even though Faith isn't with us today we
will always keep her in our hearts as our first baby born.
