After the wonderful kiss that made me practically melt, the guests went upstairs to sit and start making plates. The wedding "crew" stayed to take pictures. One with just Shawn and I, others with Shawn, the kids, and I. And then a few with the crew. Taylor wanted a picture with just us because he gave me away in place of dad.

Everybody was eating when we arrived. Shawn's hand linked with mine, the smile had never left his face. The girls wiggled out of Nash's arms and ran to us.

"Mommy! Daddy!" They both screamed, they ran into our arms and we both hugged them. Nash got up and congratulated us as we made our way to our seat at the long table, glasses decorated the table, filled with expensive champagne. My dream wedding came to life.

I saw the Dj starting to play some music, and then Shawn took my hand and led me to Taylor.

"May I have the first dance with you?" He asked. I nod and he smiled, taking me to the dance floor. The Dj played "Dance, Dance" by Fall Out Boy.

I can't be held responsible for what Nash and Matt put down for my playlist. Taylor grabbed both of my hands and started doing a upbeat dance and then ended up looking like The Peanuts. I laughed. Then the song changed to "Like I'm Going To Lose You" by Meghan Trainor. Taylor of course had to use a few moves that Hayes used in DWTS and took me in his arms once more with my back against his chest. We swayed back and forth for a moment until John Legend's part came on and he spun me to Shawn.

Then Shawn picked up on it and did a slower version of the tango. After a few dances, we decide to eat and afterwards, open wedding presents.

The stuffed chicken breast was delicious, along with the wine that I adore from Misty. For dessert was the cake and of course, mini muffins.

We sat in the middle of the dance floor with all of the presents. There were tons, pink ones, gold ones, silver ones, all aligned in bows and fancy cards. If I wouldn't have known better, this could've been for a birthday party. There were maybe thirty gifts on the table. Shawn opened one and allowed the girls to tear through another one with the prettiest silver wrapping paper on it, topped with a bow. Shawn held a set of wine glasses in his hands, etched with our names and wedding date on it. The girls opened the gift that held a set of silverware. Then I opened a gift that held a necklace shaped like a key and a small saying on it.

"Forever you hold the key to my heart." I read out loud, everybody awed and Shawn smiled.

Then rest of the presents were opened, we got a collection of gift cards, money, a new microwave, and I got plenty of maternity clothes. I guess knowing us, we are gonna have another baby.

Shawn and I huddled around the beautiful cake.
