I heard a knock on the door and it opened reviling William
"Its time" he said softly and i nodded and called through to the change room where Mark, Imogen and Kai were plucking the last of the petals from the deep red roses.
"Come on guys" i smiled and they emerged.
"Now remember its Right step then together the let step and together ok" Neriko reminded them as well as her self.
On their cue the twins started their long journey down the isle and then a few moments later Kai began dancing softly down after them and then William offered his crooked arm.
"Come on" his voice a little raspy.
On the way down the isle William turned his head slightly and said
"You look beautiful and I'm sorry to have had to put you through hell with being pregnant I admire your strength its what kept us together and i couldnt be more prud of you today" his soft whisper catching slightly in his throat.
he turned her to him at the end and lifted the veil and whispered
"Mother and Da would have been happy and so proud, Carlos is a good guy he will take care of you"
The mention of their parents on such a special day had Neriko's eyes glistening with unshed tears. Williams soft kiss on her cheek nearly had them tumbling down he handed her hand over to Carlos and then took his place at Carlos's side as the Best man.
Neriko: I turned to face my soon-to-be-husband and smiled then turned to face the preist.
