EVANS POV.
I knew letting her off to sleep in anger was not the best option, I should have at least said something or done something to approach her, but then again I changed my mind
There were two chances at it, either she realized her mistake at the end of it all, or kept to her anger issues and I didn't want a memory of the last night before our wedding to be held in such a manner neither did I want to take more chances at it.
I headed on to the bathroom as she shook herself beneath the covers and dimmed the lights. I knew she had not fallen asleep and was probably waiting for an apology, but I had a whole lot on my mind the moment I stripped before walking into the bathroom.
Turned on the shower as I heaved a sigh of relief, letting the whole anger in me get washed away.
I had apologized, that was good enough, I knew I needed to be a better judge of my character, know how to handle my emotions perfectly well, all of those down to my memory, I knew I had a whole lot to get worked up on and marriage…
I loved her, one too much, I wanted to spend every last minute and chance that I got with her, however the case seemed quite different on her own end as it mauled the freaking life out of me. I had lost that chance, that opportunity, it was all done and gone.
I walked out of the bathroom, dapped myself dry, there she was, already asleep as light snores escaped her lips.
I pulled closer to her, studied her facial features briefly, she looked beautiful, and more still the gentle soul in her. She must have attempted waiting up for me, but she was way too busy with other things all day long, and so was I. We both needed our sleep.
And maybe staying away from home was not the best thing, but we had passed that already. I knew we had more than four more hours of good sleep before the call was to begin, we both had our things to do, and I was way more determined to keep my few hours of sleep well.
I tucked myself beneath the duvet and wrapped my arms firmly against her, pushed her closer to me as she muttered some gibberish and then fell into a deeper slumber.
I raised my eyes towards the bed which Alfred had been tucked in and relief washed over me knowing finally, I became a family man.
“I love you ciara.. I really do and I hope one day I would be worthy of your love as well.you are a special woman to me, and anything I do, I do for us.” I explained, moved close to her, placed a soft peck against her ears before closing my eyes shut.
I had a huge day ahead of me.
*****************
“I now pronounce you husband and wife.'' The priest called out and loud yells, cheers, laughter and claps erupted amidst the crowds.
“You may now kiss the bride.” he added in a lazy smile formed on her face and I pulled her chin closer to mine.
“stop evans, everyone is here.'' She added in , acting all coy like we had not kissed before or something. I moved my lips toward her forehead and placed a kiss against it knowing well she had been one hell of a devil when we were alone and there she was, up in public acting like a freaking Saint.

CIARA'S POV.
“Let's take pictures! The guests first would all head out behind you and then we would come after okay?." Rosa asked and I nodded.
“well of course if that is good with you?.” she asked again and I nodded second time in a row, I could not tell if I had my lucky charm on or if she had truly changed and although I loved how nice she suddenly was it still has not sat right with me, I felt somewhat bothered seeing how she acted , maybe I has gotten way too comfortable with her harsh side compared to all the niceness she had to portray.
“It's fine, we can do that now.” I added in and a scoff escaped Evan's lips.
“what? You don't look too happy?” he added in almost immediately and that only prickled the more on my conscience.
“is that really how you'll take it up?, seriously?.” I asked , knowing I might turn the whole thing against him, but it was my special day and I had little to no reason to ruin it all because of some selfish attitude of his.
“You know, I should be the one asking you this question , it seems really fun how you managed to show up, I almost believed there were other things you'd rather spend your time doing, like work, and all?.” I asked, sighed deeply and swallowed hard, it was one too many causes for argument. I knew it already.
“ciara.. Don't be this way, at least not today.” he complained again, funny how the words melted off his lips like he had not a single care in the world and it felt like he had done all of this just to have me mocked.
“what way?, I'm not so sure I know you anymore for real, you've added in quite a number of new traits… “ I added and tugged hard to the sides of my gown.
“Is this about last night?.” he called from behind me and I stopped in my tracks, he still had all the audacity to ask me, he knew what it was that he had done.
“should I be mad about it? Or not?.” I asked again, he was pulling legs whether for fun or by mistake, either ways he knew that it was what he was doing..
“I have my reasons Ciara, by now you should understand me fully well and trust me, I would never do anything to hurt you. It's a surprise, okay? I've been up these last few days and I've been busy. I know it, but all I have done is to make you happy.
You'll see, just hang on for a few more hours, can you do that for me? “ he asked, moved up to me and placed a peck on both sides of my cheeks and my nose.
All anger I felt, melted immediately, that was all I had been during to hear, an apology from him, I wanted to hear one so bad and genuine
“okay.. What is it you have been up to this time?.* I questioned, but it did not seem like he wanted to tell me.
“It's a secret.” he responded and walked out the guest while I followed behind him, my mind fixed on whatever he had planned out for tonight.
