Owen and Letty's wedding...

It was a winter wedding in the late afternoon. The church looked absolutely breathtaking. At the end of each seated aisle, carnations and roses decorated the church. Spread down the aisle was white leaves as far as the eyes could see, slightly moist so they wouldn't crack when you stepped on them. On either side of the aisle, the guests which were a group of close family and friends sat as they waited for the bride.

Only five minutes remained before the wedding began,

Letty was wearing a sweetheart neckline dress with side cut-outs that complimented her shape and showed just enough skin. The back was trimmed with architecturally placed sequins. She wore a beautiful bracelet that belonged to her grandmother, something old. All topped of with a beautiful flower crown veil and white laced heels. Her mother helped her with her makeup and hair left loose and wavy.

"You look absolutely beautiful" Ana said as she started to tear up. "Crap, my makeup"|
"Ma, don't cry you're making me cry now"
"I can't help it, my baby's getting married"

Letty smiled and then looked at herself in the mirror. She traced the detailing on her dress and adjusted her hair. Never in a million years did she think she would be getting married.

Ana noticed Letty was nervous and decided to calm her daughter down.

"Owen is waiting at the end of the aisle and he's just as nervous as you, I know the road had  it's ups and downs but you and Owen are going to be great together.
"I guess you're right Ma"
"You ready?"

Letty took a breath and nodded and she gave her mother a faint smile.

The priest came out and asked everyone to stand. It was time! All eyes would soon be on her. Before they walked down Ana had to ask her daughter one more time.

"Letty, honey, are you 100% sure you wanna marry Owen, cause if you don't its.."
"I wouldn't be here if I wasn't sure" she cut her mother off.

Ana could see the pain in Letty's eyes, but this was it. There was no turning back.

The flower girl who was Letty's niece lined the path with white rose petals as the music started. Ana escorted her daughter down the aisle, which seemed longer than before. She became Letty's strength, without her Letty would most probably have a panic attack. All the guests looked at her, taking pictures of her dress, waving and smiling at her. One thing was for sure though, no one made a sound. Up ahead she saw him, Owen. Her future husband. The man she was going to spend the rest of her life with. He stood taller, his shoulders back and his eyes on her. At the end of the aisle Ana hugged Letty and said "I'm proud of you" and then presented her to her groom. Ana placed her hand in Owen's and smiled. As a couple, they both stood in front of the priest.

"Dearly beloved" he began, "we are gathered here this morning to witness this man and woman joined together in holy matrimony"

Letty and Owen had both decided they wanted their wedding to be short and simple. Without the vows and just skipping to the wedding.

"The rings?" the priest asked.

Owen looked at his best friend the best man. The best man searched his pockets and his pants and didn't seem to find the rings. Owen was freaking out but remained calm. He knew something like this woud happen but the wedding had to go one.

Owen told the priest that they didn't have the rings and they had no choice but to continue.

"Sorry" Owen mouthed to Letty.

She smiled and told him it was okay. She was actually glad. It was like a blessing in disguise for her.

"If anyone objects to the marriage speak now or forever hold your peace"

And as expected no one said a word. Letty was really hoping for Dom to burst through the doors and scoop her away but nothing happened. No one said a word and so the priest continued.

"Alright then, do you Owen Shaw take Leticia Ortiz to be your lawfully wedded wife, to be her faithful partner in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad. Do you promise to love her unconditionally, to honor and respect her and to cherish her for as long as you both shall live?"

Owen looked at Letty, her hands in his. He saw her smiling face. He took a deep breaths  and said "No, no I don't".
