Chapter 282 - SIDE STORIES BOOK 1- SHAWN AND DIETRICH CHAPTER 28 (BL)

August had arrived. The seventh to be exact. On this day, this saturday was the day that I was to marry my love.
We did this as properly as we could. I slept at Trinity and Reece's while Shawn slept at his home. We did not have bachelor parties, because neither of us wanted one, but we still didn't see each other until it was time to head to the mountains.
Reece was there for me, as my best man since he was the closest thing that I had to family here or anywhere really. Shane was going to be acting as Shawn's best man. He had been there for his brother since the womb and neither Shane nor Shawn would have had it any other way.
Reece had his Brioni Tuxedo he had worn to his own wedding so I didn't need to buy one for him. However I still bought new ones for Shawn, Shane, their father Franklin Asher, Gabriel, and of course myself. I paid for brand new beautifully designed dresses for Trinity, Pauline Asher, and Falena.
There were no decorations to be had, and there were no flowers or bouquets. The only things I could plan for were the clothing, the time, the place, and the food so I was going to go all out where I could. I was marrying the love of my life after all and I wanted to make this day as special for him as I could. But I also knew that he didn't want this wedding to be a big affair.
No matter how bold Shawn had been acting lately, he was still my shy little Cupcake and I would not force anything really big onto him. This day was for him, for the both of us to prove our love.

I was standing in my living room, holding up a suit that had cost my fiancé somewhere in the high forty thousands. And he didn't just buy one of these suits, he had bought five. He had wanted to buy Reece a new one too but he had the suit from his own wedding which was a perfect match for ours as it was. The only thing Reece needed was the shirt and tie to match us completely. If you added in accessories and shoes, which Dietrich bought as well, he had spent over half a million on tuxedos alone.
Oh Goddess, how was I ever going to get used to this?
"You're a rich trophy wife now, just deal with it." Shane joked with me. "Just let your husband pay for everything."
"Just shut up, you asshole. Do I need to hit you with something again?" I joked back at him, I knew he was just playing around, but what he said was true in a way. I was not a trophy wife, I wasn't talking about that part. No, I meant that part where he said I was rich and I needed to get used to it.
I was now a very rich man because I was marrying a very rich man. I was used to being economic and now I could do whatever I wanted or needed to without worrying. That was both nerve wracking as well as comforting.
Anyway, I didn't need to be thinking of this right now. What I needed to do right now was get ready for my wedding.
This wedding was different than the one I had pictured when I was a kid. Everyone imagines their future at some point, imagines how their life would end up.
I used to imagine some beautiful woman coming down an aisle toward me. She would be wearing a big smile and a white gown. But it had never felt right to me. I used to think it was because I could never truly see her face. But now I know it was because I was waiting for a man, not a woman. And that we would be walking with each other, arm in arm, to the place where we were to take out vows.
Was it weird that I had butterflies right now? Was it weird that I was excited and eagerly anticipating this day? Or that I was happy that we were leaving on a honeymoon to a private beach in Belize?
I was actually really looking forward to that. It was time alone with Dietrich, just the two of us for two weeks at the beach. I could just imagine the things we would get up to while we were there. Especially with my new found confidence in myself when I was with Dietrich.
After Shane and I were dressed we got ready to go. Mom, Dad and Falena were meeting us at the estate and would be walking with us to the cliff. I was meeting Dietrich, Trinity, Reece, and Gabriel there as they would be waiting on us.
I was nervous when I got to where my parents were waiting for us outside. Mom hugged me with tears in her eyes and she smiled happily.
"I can't believe that my baby is getting married today."
"Mom, I'm the oldest." I whined playfully.
"You're both my babies, and since you're the oldest you found your mate and are getting married first, so just take what you can get while I take what I can."
"Alright Momma." I smiled as I kissed her cheek. "I love you."
"I love you too, baby boy. I love you so much."
After that we walked to the clearing at the cliff together. My parents walked in the lead hand in hand, Shane and Falena followed us and also walked hand in hand. I felt lonely, being the only one who was not there with their mate to walk while holding their hand.
When we finally got to the place the wedding was to be held I saw the best sight in the world. Dietrich was there, waiting anxiously with a massive smile on his face. The moment he saw me his eyes lit up like he had seen the best thing in the world. I had a feeling I lit up in the exact same way.
Our wedding started the moment Dietrich and I joined hands. We walked to stand before the cliffs and stood facing Gabriel who had his back to the beautiful view. My family stood just to the side of me, Trinity and Reece stood on the other side of Dietrich, and Falena took pictures for us.
My future sister in law might not be part of the photos, but I was so happy that she had offered to help us preserve these memories.
Dietrich and I had opted for a nontraditional ceremony with vows we wrote ourselves. We both pledged our undying love and spoke of how we were happy to have such a long future together ahead of us.
Following the ceremony Falena took some couples photos for us. Several of the pictures turned out to be wonderful and perfect. There was one in particular, a shot of the two of us staring into each other's eyes next to the trees overlooking the river. I wanted to have that one printed out in particular.
We had our dinner then, more of a late lunch really. The small gathering was intimate, sweet, and fun. Following the meal we changed and headed for the airport. It was now time for two weeks of nothing but me, Dietrich, and the beautiful beaches of Belize.
I couldn't imagine a more perfect wedding, or a more perfect person to have shared it with.
The day we were to head home from our honeymoon, Dietrich received a phone call. Our house that he was having built for us was done. The only thing we needed to do now was have the furniture moved in and then we could move into it as well.
"We will have our own home together soon my love." Dietrich's voice was full of love as we settled in the luxury seating on Dietrich's small private plane. I just couldn't believe that between Reece and Dietrich they owned seven private aircrafts.
"When do you think we can move in?" I asked him as we sat close to each other, snuggling a little.
"Maybe a week." He sounded contemplative. "Perhaps we will have a combination moving in party and birthday party for you." He grinned now as he turned to look at me. You know, sometimes I loved that we were almost the exact same height, the level of intimacy when we looked at each other was so amazing.
"Really? Do you think it will really be ready that soon?"
"I am sure I can manage it, as long as you are there to help me to pick at least some of it out, my love."
"It's more your department than mine, but I will not leave you to do it all alone." We smiled at each other then, naturally gravitating toward each other until our lips met for a slow, passionate kiss.
We were still kissing when the plane took off from the ground. There was so much to look forward to with my mate, so much that we could do now that we were going to be together forever. And I was really, really looking forward to living with him and being there with him every single day.
