Love Of My Life

Chapter Eleven - Somebody to Love

Chapter Eleven – Somebody to Love

The day was finally here. Mary was hurrying all over the back room of the church. My dress hung on the wall as Mary returned putting her makeup bag on the table. Veronica fiddled with my hair slightly while Anita stood beside me slapping Veronica's hands away. Anita, who replaced now Diane, had taken control of the hair. Diane was apparently sick and I was told not to ask questions and therefore I didn't. Mary had been a lifesaver and gave me her dress she was going to use to Freddie's and her wedding. She had been up all night tweaking it and making it more to my style. It was almost fairytale; the whole day gave me butterflies. Nervous ones, the babies had been kicking more and more frequently to the point Roger had barely left my side until today.

"Are you nervous?" Anita asked looking down at me

"Slightly. It's weird, before I met him I didn't care how I looked but now each day I find myself battling to look more and more perfect" I chuckle

"Babies will do that my dear" I shook my head

"I mean me Hun. Just me...it's hard being the fiancée and wife to be of a rock star. You have to look good, if the papers catch a glimpse of you looking shitty that's it. You're front page news. Best to learn quickly" I murmur trying to remain still while Mary did my makeup.

"Well I'm use to the papers. I've been an actress in Eastenders. You know that soap based in London?" Both me and Mary froze turning around, Mary moved my chair spinning me to face Anita.

"Oh...My..." Mary gasped

"Angie Watts?" I squealed "Why didn't I see it before" Mary moved me back around doing my eye makeup as Freddie burst in behind us.

"Hello my darlings!" He said cheerfully "How is the bride to be and mother to be?" He moved in front of me "Ah...beautiful. I could cry, but I would ruin my own makeup" I couldn't help but smile as he tilted my chin up to meet his gaze. "You look precious my dear. Roger is a lucky; lucky man" Freddie kissed my forehead softly smiling "The boys are ready by the way. Roger is sober, nervous like hell. He's smoking like a train. I've seen less smoke in house fires" Freddie chuckled "Right...You've got twenty minutes darlings!" Freddie said leaving the room closing the door.

"Oh my god Mary...am I doing the right thing? Oh stupid...of course I am" I mutter

"Was I meant to have a say in that random one way conversation?" Mary laughed as she helped me up onto my feet. Anita undone my wedding dress as it sparkled in the evening light. Roger had wanted an evening wedding and night time reception for some odd reason. My only sadness, it was stormy outside. The thunder rumbled and the lightning lit the room.

"You are going to look beautiful" My hair was curled slightly and pushed up into a bun with the fair falling into curled locks. M make up simple, black and red, typical me but not as heavy. A smile curled my lips as I removed my robe showing off my lingerie for later.

"Someone's going to have fun tonight. Good luck Roger" Veronica chuckled

"Have you met Roger? Good luck Meg" Mary giggled as she lowered the dress to the ground allowing me to step inside it.

The church doors opened in front of me as the sound of an acoustic guitar began playing Pachenbel, canon in D. My eyes shot up seeing Brian playing it, smiling down at me; he was stood up by Roger. Freddie and John stood beside him smiling like crazy people. I turned and looked at Mary as she smiled

"Are you ready?" She asked as I nodded.

"I've been waiting for this moment my entire life" I whisper as she looped my arm with hers as led me down the aisle. I held my flowers in my hand as my other was tightly holding Mary as I trembled. Brian played beautifully as I slowly made my way closer to Roger. The veil blocking my full view of him as Mary came to stop turning to face me she lifted my veil.
