It was the night before the wedding. Tom had been staying at my house for the past couple weeks as we planned. I was never ready for something so much in my whole life.
For the first time in months. Tom was here with me. I lay wrapped up in his arms. I felt like I was back in London. I felt safe. I felt home.
"I love you Jessica." He whispered.
I looked at him. "I love you."
"You are going to be my wife tomorrow."
I smiled. "You are going to be my Husband."
He held my hands. "Forever and always."
We lay down, trying to get some sleep. Neither of us could rest. We were full full of adrenaline.
He sat up. "I can't sleep."
I laughed. "Me either."
He smiled at me and said, "Get up. Let's go do something fun."
I looked at him. "Tom, its 2 in the morning! What are we gonna do?"
He smiled. "Let's go!"
I jumped up and we left the house. Driving through the quiet, sleepy town. I finally figured out where we were going. The cliff.
We finally got to the cliff, the sky was black, but it was still so beautiful, the view over the rocks. The last time I was here, was with Alexis.
Tom kissed me forehead, he knew that I was thinking about her.
He opened the car door for me and held out his hand to help me out of the car, such a gentlemen.
We sat in the same spot as I did with Kate and Alexis that day. I smiled at the thought. I didn't cry, it was a good memory.
He put his arm around me and we sat there, looking over the town, waiting for the sun to rise.
"Wanna dance?" He asked.
I smiled at him. "Now? There is no music!"
He laughed. "We don't need any."
I took his hand in mine, and he began to hum a song. He gracefully spun me around and we danced. We danced the night away, until the sun began to creep up over the horizon. "See, all you needed was the right partner." he whispered.
I smiled and kissed him. "I guess we are just perfect for each other."

When the sun came up a little more. We had to leave. I had to go to Kate's house to get ready for my wedding. It was bad luck to see the groom before the wedding. Even though I was with him all night...
I kissed him goodbye. "I'll see you later."
He kissed me back. "I can't wait."

Kate was my maid of honor. It was so funny to me how far we have come, since when I first met Kate. I didn't even like her as a friend, and now she is my best friend.
The bridesmaids and I got ready at Kate's house.
I got my hair and makeup done, all that was left, was my dress. My dress was personally designed, by my favorite dress maker, Charlotte. The woman from the dress parlor in London. Where Tom bought me that dress, for ruining my violet one.
My wedding dress was. Perfect. I have never felt so beautiful in my life. Like a princess, about to my married to her prince.
I took the necklace in my hand, and looked up to the sky. "I hope you guys are here right now, Alexis and Tara, I hope you know that I love you guys with all my heart."
Kate came in the room, where I was getting ready. She saw my dress and a tear of joy dripped down her face. "You look so beautiful."
I turned to her, my eyes began to water. "Thank you. But don't cry! because you are going to make me cry!"
She laughed and hugged me. "Jessica I am so happy for you."
I smiled and squeezed her. "Thank you Kate."
She let go and looked at me in the eyes. "I have to give you something."
I looked at her, confused. "What?"
She brought her hands out. There, in her shaky hands, was a letter, with my name written on it. "This is from Alexis. She told me to give it to you, on your wedding day."
I looked at the letter, and tears came falling down. I couldn't help it.
I took the letter in my hands and opened it.
Dear Jess,
Congratulations! If I know anything at all, I know that you are marring Tom. Its not that hard to figure out. You guys are perfect for each other. It was just meant to be. I know I may not be there to see, but I am there, and guess who is with me! Tara. She is with me, and we are so proud of you and we can't wait to see you get married, and have your children, and grow old. You are going to have a beautiful life. And Tara and I will see every minute of it.
Tell Kate that I love her, and watch her for me. You know that she is crazy. Haha.
Tell Tom that I am so happy that he is with you. And tell him that he better take care of you.
Tara and I love you so much Jessica, and we will be here for you, everyday. I pinky promise. x.Alexis
I cried. Then smiled and looked up to the sky. "Pinky promise."
Kate hugged me.

Once we fixed our makeup, we were ready to go.
We drove to where the wedding was being held. The beach. I wanted the wedding to be by the ocean, for Alexis. I remembered her talking about the ocean. "It is so infinite, and beautiful."
It was the perfect spot.

It was about time to start the ceremony. Kate was walking me down the aisle. The crown of family and friends stood up. The sound of the shore's waves in the background. And the wedding music began playing. Here come the bride.
As everyone looked at me, walk down the aisle, I had my eyes on one person. The handsome man at the end of the aisle. Tom.
And he looked at me. With the same, mesmerized look, as he gave me, the first time he saw me in the coffee shop, or the time I tried on the dress in the dress parlor, or last night, when we danced.
At the end of the aisle, was my prince, my love, my forever and always.
The preacher had us say our vows.
I went first. I took a deep breath and looked into Tom's deep, green eyes. "Tom, before i met you, everything was going wrong in my life, and then, I you came along and, with every single word you said to me, with every thing you did, you saved me. You pulled me out of the wreckage. I got a second chance, at happiness, when I met you. And you fixed me, when I thought i was unfixable. I love you more than words can describe. You are my one and only, and I'm ready to spend my life with you by my side."
A tear fell from his face and he smiled. "Jessica, the first time I saw you in that crowded London cafe, I said to myself. I am not leaving, I will not stop, until that girl is mine. And I'm happy I never gave up fighting for you. I'm the luckiest man, to be here with you right now, in this moment. You are the one that I see, 30 years down the road, growing old with me. I have never been so sure about something in my entire life, I've never been so sure about us. I love you forever and always."
We poured our hearts out in our vows. Every word we said, came straight from our love stuck hearts.
The preacher looked at us. "By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you, Jessica Marie Blackwell, and Thomas William Hiddleston, man and wife.
Tom grabbed me and kissed my lips, like he was waiting all his life.
We were married.
He looked into my eyes and grinned. "I love you Mrs. Hiddleston.
I smiled at him and my eyes watered. "I love you Mr. Hiddleston.
