NICK'S POV

When I think about the day that I married Savannah, I couldn't help but smile at every detail of it.

I would always and proudly say that it was indeed one of the greatest and most fulfilling days of my life.

One of the best days that I would say I'm proud of having been through.

I still remember how The Plaza looked that day with all the wedding decorations Savannah wanted, I let her choose all the things she wanted because it's her dream wedding, of course I helped around with the decision making too.

I still remember how her hair was done, how beautiful she was on her wedding dress and how amazing she was when she walked down the aisle.

God, I still remember how she was amazingly gorgeous that day. She was perfect. Everything was perfect that day.

Of course, Lissa and Dani looked pretty on their dress too since they were the ones who picked it.

I remember how nervous I was back then before the wedding started. I remember standing next to Cameron, Alec and Aries at the end of the aisle while they teased me on not forgetting to say my I Do.

I remember that we were waiting for her to walk through the doors when Cameron grabbed my shoulder and leaned over closer then whispered something to me.

He said, "I never liked you."

I chuckle to myself and noticed that Aries and Alec were laughing too.

I whispered back to his ear, "I know."

He grins at my answer, "I'm glad you're aware of that."

I bent my head down and smiled ruefully at myself. "Always has been."

"But then I realized how you love my sister so dearly." He whispers back and I know he was serious about it.

I nod.

"You're the only one who met my high standards for Savannah, Nick. I'm happy it's you." He adds.

"How about me?" Aries asked.

"Shut up Aries. You're such a freaking womanizer. I wouldn't want to worry about my sister." Cameron says.

All of us laughed.

But I was happy hearing that coming from Cameron, despite what happened to us in the past when we were both in college, even before I met Savannah, he still said those words to me even though he hated me and I know he means what he said because he's here beside me and I know he's not lying about it. Plus, it means a lot on my part hearing that coming from Cameron.

"I'm thankful you didn't let her go Nick. I'm thankful you stayed with her. I'm thankful you saved her." He adds.

"She's the one who saved me Cameron." I tell him.

"If you're worried about your past, I don't really care about it or what you did. You've got my vote now. Well, I guess five out of five. Ingrid told me about that before." He chuckles and I laugh softly with him.

"I love her Cameron." I say firmly.

"I know." He answered.
