Change Me to Your Point of View

Staring at his reflection... Syn felt his stomach churn as he adjusted the tie on his brand new tux. He never thought he be in this situation.

“You nearly ready bro?” he heard someone ask behind him. Syn slowly turned round to see Jimmy grinning from ear to ear wearing a tux similar to him.

Brian looked at his best man then back at the mirror. He couldn’t believe this was happening... Syn had dealt with a lot tough situations before, but this had to be the hardest one of all.

“Jimmy...” He choked.

“Yea Bri?”

“I-I’m... I’m getting married”

Jimmy couldn’t help but laugh “Oh come on! You’re Synyster Gates! How can you get cold feet?”

Syn nervously gulped...but his thoughts suddenly drifted to the woman who was just a couple of rooms down the hall; probably more nervous then he is. He had no idea what she would be wearing, what her hair will be like... hell he doesn’t even know if she’s in the damn dress.

He thought back to the night before where Matt and Val’s wedding was held... it went so well it didn’t feel like he would be doing the same standing where Matt stood.

“Jimmy how long till we need to go out there?” he asked his best man.

Jimmy looked at his watch “Like right now...” he answered immediately sending Syn into a panic as he touch up his hair and suit one more time.

“Oh quit being a girl and move it!!” Jimmy cackled as he grabbed him by his shoulders and pushed him out of the door.

Hannah sat quietly looking down at her hands whilst playing with her thumbs. She was nervous... no she terrified of what was about to happen. What if he wasn’t there? What if he suddenly decided they weren’t ready and call the whole wedding off? All these thoughts were running through her head she didn’t hear her braids maids walk in.

“Earth to Hannah!!”

She snapped out of her daze to see Val, Michelle, Gena, Leana and Lacy standing in front of her wearing purple gowns and purple flowers in the tied back hair.

“Sorry guys... I was in my own world”

“We could tell” Val giggled with the rest of the girls. “So... you ready to get married?”

Hannah was silent for a moment... She had been ready to get married ever since Syn confessed his love her; she wasn’t going to back out now.

“I never thought this would happen to me...” she breathed under her breath. Michelle bent down to her level slightly and brushed some hair out of her face.

“I did... you two are made for each other.”

Hannah couldn’t help but smile as the girls helped her up and began adding the finishing touches to her hair, make up and dress. “How’s Brian doing?” she asked wanting to know if he was as bad.

Val giggled “he’s anxious to see what you look like... but this is the first time I’ve seen him proper nervous!”

“Well...” Leana piped in “he is getting married.”

“Yeah I know but its just so weird seeing him like that!” Val gushed. Hannah couldn’t help but smile... she could see him now; doing his hair and annoying the hell out of Jimmy by asking him questions and not believing his answers.

“FOR FUCK SAKE BRIAN YOU LOOK FINE!!” Jimmy bellowed, earning a not so pleased look from the priest. Brian stared at him desperately, he knew he was over thinking this but he couldn’t help it; he wanted to look perfect for Hannah. Suddenly, seize the day on the piano started playing and everyone stood up from their seats. Brian slowly turned his head only to nearly have his heart explode from his ribcage.

It was if everyone in the room had disappeared apart from him... and the woman he would soon call his wife. She wore white silk dress that went all the way down to her feet leaving a trail behind her with the straps around her neck. Her hair was up in styled bun with ringlets at the front and her face was glowing not just from the make up she was wearing... but how happy she was.

As soon as Hannah saw him, flashes of her life seemed to run through her head as her father guided her down the alter. From when they first met to the tattoo shop. It became clear that Syn... no Brian was all that mattered in her life and no one was going to take him away from her.

Finally reaching the end of the alter Alex gave her one last kiss on her cheek, she could feel the happy tears on his face and hear him whisper “as beautiful as your mother” before finally giving her to the man next the her.

Hannah blushed at Brian’s face... he looked completely gob smacked. What happened to the shy girl that he met? Not that he was complaining he just couldn’t get over how stunning she looked.

“Dearly Beloved” the priest started bringing Brian out of his thoughts. “We are gathered here today to witness marriage of Hannah Felicity Walker and Brian Edwin Haner Junior, who are about vogue their love for each other by the giving of rings”.

When the priest asked if anyone objected the marriage, they both couldn’t help but laugh when Jimmy yelled “ARE YOU RETARDED!?!”

‘Typical Jimmy’ Hannah thought as Brian sent her a very discreet wink. After a slight scowl from the priest he asked Jimmy if he had the rings, which made him immediately go into his pocket and hand over two golden bands.

“Now Hannah repeat after me... I Hannah Felicity Walker”

“I Hannah Felicity Walker...” As Hannah spoke she slowly started to slip the ring onto Brian’s finger.

“Take Brian Edwin Haner Junior...”

“Take Brian Edwin Haner Junior...”

“ To be my lawful wedded husband”

“To be my lawful wedded husband” Hannah could see his face twitch into a grin as soon as she said that.

“Through sickness and health”

“Through sickness and health”

“Till death do us part”

“...Till Death do us part”.

Priest smiled at her then turn his head “Now Brian repeat after me”. All of a sudden Hannah could not hear anything else apart from the man in front of her. She felt him take her hand in his and start pushing the ring onto her finger.

“I Brian Edwin Haner Junior.... Take Hannah Felicity Walker... To be my lawful wedded wife... Through sickness and health.... Till death do us part.”

Hannah could hear a loud sniff from Val as she clung on a hankie with Matt’s arm wrapped around her, the rest of the gangs position was very similar.

“Both Hannah and Brian have united their love and devotion for each other by the giving of rings” the priest spoke cheerily. “You may now kiss your bride”.

Hannah didn’t really have time to process what was going on because as soon as the priest said that she felt Brian crash his lips onto hers; giving her the most passionate, loving kiss they had shared together.

“I-I can’t believe it” she heard him whisper against her lips “Y-Your finally my wife!”

Hannah couldn’t help but giggle “and your finally my husband”.

If Brian could grin any wider... his face would split “You’ll never know how happy it makes me feel when you say that!”.

*** ***

Hannah slowly fluttered her eyes open and looked across the bed to her husband who was sleeping soundly. It had been nearly a year since their wedding and she could not have been happier in her whole entire life. As quietly as she could she slipped out of bed earning a groan off Brian.

“Where’d you think you’re going?” he mumbled lifting his head off the pillow.
Hannah smiled at him and leaned down to peck him on the lips “to the toilet lover” and with that she left him in bed and closed the bathroom. Suddenly she couldn’t help but feel nervous as she reached for the cabinet and pull out the small rectangular box; slowly she pulled out the pregnancy test as she read the instruction. She did what they said and waited for five minutes then picked it up and studied it.

Hannah double checked what it said on the box and then made her way back to the bedroom. Brian was now sat up against the head board, seeing his beautiful wife come out his gestured her to come closer. She did as she was commanded and straddled his waist.

“Can you believe that we’ve now been married for a year!” he breathed as he traced his fingers along her tattoo on her hip then guiding his hand up her rib cage admiring the artwork of the cherry blossoms. Yes ever since the wedding lets just say Hannah became a little addicted to tattoos; she now had a branch of cherry blossoms on her rib cage, the crown of thorns around her wrists and a deathbat across her back. And Brian absolutely loved it! He was a bit questionable about it at first but as soon as he saw the finished product... the lover didn’t leave the bedroom for a good six hours.

“I had a dream about our wedding...” Hannah told him as she started to comb her fingers through his soft black hair.

“Man what a night that was!” Brian mused “best day of my life.”

Hannah giggled as she kissed him softly “and it won’t be your last...”

Brian to laughed. “Oh trust me... it will take a lot to top that!”

“Oh I don’t know about that...”

“What are you talking about Petal?” Brian asked clear confused.

Hannah took a deep breath and held his face in her hands. “You keep saying that I saved your life... well that’s not entirely true. You my husband... saved mine”. Still puzzled Brian couldn’t help but have a worried look on his face.

“Brian...” she whispered in his ear “You’re going to be a father...”
Brian did a double take and sifted his eyes from Hannah’s eyes to her stomach. As he gaze affectionately at it he placed his large hand onto her stomach.

“I-I... wow!”

Hannah chuckled at his reaction and his lifted his head to meet her gaze again. “I love you... Hannah Felicity Haner”.

“And I love you... forever and always!”
