Walking out of his room, Ricardo makes his way towards where their ceremony was about of be held. Stopping on his way he turns to glance at the way he is sure his bride will be making her way to him. With a smile, he continues to walk and go wait for her. Waiting, one thing he will be doing it for the last time as she will be his after this.
Standing behind the door, Ricardo takes a deep breath as he straightens his coat as his brothers join him.
"You still have chance bro; just say it I will have the car started" Ryman jokes.
"Yeah, like we get it that you really like her. She is already you best friend, you don't have to go through this" Rustic grin as he claps his brother's shoulder.
"Step away, don't give him option. I don't know about you four, wanting a wife or not but I do need a daughter-in-law" Alana moves past her sons.
"If it's to have grandkids, we are capable of giving you without a wife" Richard winks at his brothers as they laugh before all of them groan as Alana hits them with her purse.
"What have you in that?" Rustic asks as he rubs his head.
"Never ask woman about her age and what's in her purse" she winks at her son before she puts her hand around Ricardo's arm.
"Ready?" she asks, and he nods his head as the door opens for him to make his way.
*******
"Where's dad?" Gabby asks as she grabs her flower as she looks around to see Bo busy with fixing Summer's dress.
"He will be here" Bo mumbles as she gets up before checking on Lilac's hair.
"We should totally do your hair, and some make up" Bo states but Lilac shakes her head before she rushes to Leah's side.
"Leave her alone" Leah asks as she hands Lilac the basket.
"Hey is my boobs looking great?" Naomi asks a she lifts them up.
"Don't tell me you are walking holding your breast instead of flowers" Roux deadpans and Naomi glares at her sister.
"Well unlike you I don't wear sports shoes under my dress" Naomi points and Roux frown.
"What's wrong with my shoes? And anyways, it's easier to run"
"Why would you run?" Naomi asks.
"Well I may have to" Roux shrugs her shoulders before she throws the flower to Naomi.
"Found him" Damien shouts as he walks with Gabriel towards the girls.
"Dad" Gabby sighs in relief as she walks towards him.
"Well he was hiding in the bathroom saying if no one was there to walk you down you won't get married"
"Dad" Gabby groans as she stares at him.
"Well, I told him you walked down all by yourself that made him walk out of the bathroom" Damien laughs as Gabriel sighs.
"Can you not get married? I mean Lily already is and she is even giving me a grandkid so" Gabriel bargains as he hugs his daughter.
"Well you should not have said yes to Ricardo in the first place" she rubs his back.
"Well, it seemed really nice when he bargained so" he grins as he cups her face before kissing on her forehead.
"What if mom did not marry you?" she asks as she fixes his tie before dusting his coat.
"Well then I would not have to even do this" he smiles as she fixes his hair.
"Dad" she laughs before she hugs him again.
"I am not going to say you look beautiful because I have great genes to begin with" he chuckles and Gabby nods before letting him go with a deep sigh.
"You have always been there when I took my first steps, so you need to be here this time as well when I am taking my first step of my new life" she requests making him groan.
"But this step will take you away from me"
"No, this step will connect someone not just with me but you as well" she smiles making him nod his head.
"Well then, guess I cannot change your mind" he grabs her hand.
"You could not" she laughs as she puts her hand around his arm as she takes her flower.
*******
Lilac takes a deep breath as the door opens and her eyes lands on her brother who smiles at her so she clutches the basket on her hand tightly before she walks down the aisle dropping the petals of flower making the path for the bride which will lead it to her brother.
She smiles as she finds someone move, turning her head she finds Liam standing from his seat and she nods his way as she keeps on walking while the bridesmaid follows stepping out.
Gabriel pats on Gabby's hand as he takes the step along with her and Gabby gulps as her eyes lands on Ricardo who turns to face her, and she smiles clutching her bouquet of flower in her grasp.
Stepping closer to the altar, Gabby stops as her father says something but she hers nothing as all she feels is Ricardo's eyes on her before his hand, her father kisses on her cheek as he steps away before Ricardo pulls her closer to him.
She cannot help the smile that forms in her face as the ceremony starts, she keeps squeezing Ricardo's hand to make sure they were finally there after all this time.
*******
Handing the flower to Bo Gabby focuses on Ricardo as the ceremony begins, she keeps on glancing at him as they wait for the exchange of their vows.
"I, Ricardo Russo as your Rare, accept you as my wife. Even when you have a mood to not be a human in a particular day, I will let you be a cat and laze around...
Even if it will make me worry every time you hear the word sale and run to grab every item of cloths that I can easily provide you, I shall not let any harm come your way...
Even when you want to fight with for no reason, I will be sure to keep my anger on check not because I got threatened by not just your father and uncles but you brothers as well, but because I cannot stay mad at you for too long...
I don't know if I am worthy of you as a husband as all our life, I have been just your best friend, but they do say that we should always marry our best friend as they know all about us and you do...
You know me in a way that even I don't know. You know my heart, so it is my honor to finally move out of the friendzone to the husband zone...
I met you as a girl who punched a guy for me before a girl that amused me. You turn into my friend later on to be my Precious, so with this ring that will bond us together I promise to cherish every laughter of yours, to love you even when you grab the last piece of pizza, to look at you in awe even when I think I have seen every sides of you...
I love you for making my life meaningful" he says his vows before he puts the ring in her finger and kisses on her finger as he waits for her turn.
"Well, I Gabriel Maria Price and your Precious, accept you as my husband just because there was no one to marry me" she starts making him chuckle.
"I accept all of your failures to try and stop me from going berserk on any of the sales, I ignore all of your attempts to keep us just as friends...
I will not promise that I will make your life any more less easy because easy is not my way" she winks his way.
"But what I can promise you is, when you get sick, I will call the doctor immediately. I will spend all your money for my luxuries, just don't turn broke...
Even when the death do us apart, I want you to die along with me and never marry again as I forbid you to ever love someone as much as you love me...
Because from here on, I am officially and legally the only woman you get to check out and make out with. As, I will be the only one you get to spoil...
And I love you, I love you because you are rich, handsome, caring, understanding every trait I hope remains even after we are married...
But putting those reasons aside, I love you, I love you because you are the first man that I realized I cannot live without, that accepts me for who I am, who has never asked me why I do things the way I do...
As you look at me and see me, your hands have always raised to lift me up, so thank you for breaking every bar I had set and set no boundaries around me" she smiles and Ricardo rubs her hand as he gets emotional, hearing her words.
"So, Ricardo do you take Gabriella as your wife?" the priest asks.
"I do" he promises squeezing her hands.
"Gabriella do you take Ricardo as your husband?" he asks her.
"Can I think?" Gabby teases making him laugh.
"Times up Precious" he comments making her pout.
"Then I have no choice" she winks his way as she steps closer to him before wrapping her arms around him.
"I do" she whispers close to his lips and before the priest gives them permission their lips already touch.
"Oh well, now that you two are kissing let me pronounce you husband and wife" the priest chuckles as they get lost in their kiss.
*******
Gabby sways along the music in Ricardo arms as they start the bride and groom first dance.
"Did you sleep well?" Gabby asks Ricardo as she runs her hand on his hair.
"Yes, but with the thought that you will be in my arms tonight. How about you?" he asks as he holds her tightly.
"I had a weird dream" she confesses making him frown.
"Was it a nightmare"
"It felt real"
"Want to tell me?" he asks, and she nods her head.
"I saw that we did not make it to the altar together, you left me. I saw that we had a big fight and somehow we both got shot"
"I can never hurt you" he whispers as he kisses on her forehead.
"But it felt so real, I was pregnant, and you killed our sperm" she shudders, and he sighs.
"Good thing that did not happen then" he smiles as he hugs her.
"Yeah, because Sperm is such a weird name to call you child" she laughs.
"Nothing is weird when it come to you" he smiles as he caresses her cheek.
"Don't put cake of my face" she states out of nowhere and Ricardo chuckles at the change of subject.
"I will not"
"And never stop loving me"
"Never"
"I love you" she sighs as she hugs him.
"I love you more" he kisses the side of her head as they get lost in their dance.
*******
Ricardo puts his hand around Gabby's chair as he sips on the drink, he watches her eat the cake as he thanks the people walking at their table to congratulate them.
"Hey, stop eating it's time to throw the flower" Bo points out as she sits beside Gabby who groans as she wipes her lips before turning to kiss on Ricardo's lip as she gets up.
"Okay, gather the girls" she sighs as she stands up and Ricardo hands her the flower.
"Are we doing the garter thing as well?" she asks him as she rights her dress.
"No one is getting anything that in one you" he states making her laugh.
"Good because it's kind of weird letting you inside my dress in front of my parents" she smiles as she walks to the stage as the girl's gather up.
"So, anyone of you ready to get married now?" Gabby asks as she turns around to throw the flower.
"Of course," they all cheer and Ricardo along with few of the men watches the scene as Gabby throws the flower and Naomi pushes the girls as she jumps and grabs the flower and cheers.
"Fuck yeah" she screams as she cheers.
"Fuck me" Richard curses from beside his brother and Ricardo turns to see his brother as Richard starts to run while Naomi shouts for him to stop as she runs behind him.
"Run Rich run, run for your life" Rustic shouts while the guests laugh at the scene.
*******
"She seems to be serious about Rich" Ricardo chuckles as Gabby makes her way towards their table.
"Who would not fall for a Russo's charm" Gabby replies as she sits on his lap and kisses on his lips.
"Are we done here?" he asks.
"Are we?" she teases making him smile.
"Let's go" he whispers as he picks her up and his brothers cat calls.
Next stop: Epilogue.... damn time we say goodbye to this couple!
P.S. I do not know if Unbreakable is going to happen as I think I should not touch them for now and focus on other books that needs more attention than the one we have been giving to our Rarecious!
