Weddings was something Chris had attended frequently. Whether it be of a friend or an extended family member. Clearly he didn't want to have the wedding to be public, because it would be too obvious that it was fake. Chris wanted it to look private, which meant a photo shoot with you and him. Chris was able to reach out to one of his good friends who did photography and agreed to take pictures for him. Chris had to make this seem serious. Fortunately this weekend, you and him weren't needed at work.

Chris took that time to text you to buy a wedding dress. You agreed to go with his plan and told him that you would buy one, but little did he know, you already had one hidden in your closet. You didn't let Chris know that though. You never imagined that you were going to tell Chris about your past relationship, mainly because you genuinely wanted to forget about it. But yet here you were, digging up your old wedding dress. The one you wore to your wedding. Who knew that you were ever going to see it again. Not you. That's for sure.

Chris glanced at his watch. Five minutes until you were going to arrive. Chris focused on fixing up his tuxedo through the mirror. He needed to look perfect for the pictures. He needed to make it look genuine like actual wedding photos. Chris's phone buzzed on the coffee table beside him. Chris looked down and saw his best friends name show up, Sebastian Stan. Chris went from fixating his looks and turned his attention to the phone. Chris swiped his phone off the table and answered the call.

"Chris! What the hell man?!" Sebastian yelled into the phone, throwing Chris off guard. "Congratulations dude!" Sebastian cheered. A wave of relief washed over Chris. "I'm a little offended you didn't tell me anything about this chick, but it's fine. I wasn't able to capture a clear picture of her face in the video, but it's clear to hear in her voice that she was happy."

"Not as happy as I am," Chris said with a smile. "I'm grateful to know that I finally found someone to share the rest of my life with."

"I'm glad to hear that," Sebastian said happily. "I was actually wondering, what place did you propose at? That restaurant looked vaguely familiar to me, but I wasn't sure if it really was what I thought it was."

Chris told Sebastian the restaurant and the line instantly went silent. It was quiet for so long, Chris had to ask if Sebastian was still there. Sebastian cleared his throat awkwardly into the speaker.

"I just remembered that I have somewhere to be," Sebastian said. Chris knew that was a lie. "I'll have to call you back later. Oh wait, are you coming to the ball next weekend?"

"I wouldn't miss it for the world," Chris assured. "I'm even going to be bringing my wife."

"Great, can't wait to meet her," Sebastian exclaimed gleefully. "I'll see you than."

Sebastian hung up and Chris blew out a long breath. Sebastian's silence really peaked Chris's curiosity. The fact that both you and Sebastian were to go quiet whenever the restaurant was brought up raised his suspicion. Could it be possible that they had a past together? Chris shook those thoughts out of his head as three loud knocks came from his front door. He was getting ahead of himself. There could possibly be no way that you and Sebastian could have a past together.

Sebastian would have known it anyways, and so would you. He just left those thoughts behind and walked to answer the door. Chris pulled the door open, his heart racing at the sight of the beautiful attire you were wearing. He looked at you from the bottom to the top, admiring you with his eyes. You lightly blushed as Chris reached your face, and that made him begin to flush in embarrassment as well.

You two both spoke at the same time, attempting to compliment each other but instantly stopped talking. Chris apologized and insisted that you to speak first.

"You look really nice Chris," You complimented, smiling brightly at him. Chris smiled back. "definitely like a husband."

"Well, I'm nothing compared to my gorgeous wife," Chris teased, making you giggle softly. "anyways, um, Travis is ready for us in the backyard."

You nodded and walked inside. Chris shut the door behind you and led you to the backyard. The moment you stepped outside, it was absolutely beautiful. The decorations was out of the world! It made you feel like you were actually at a wedding. Travis noticed your arrival and motioned you and Chris to join him to a simple spot to start the photo shoot. You and Chris walked over to the grassy area where Travis started to direct you two.

You were used to photo shoots, which meant that this one was going to be easy. Picture by picture, Travis couldn't stop expressing his feelings about how cute you two were together.

"Alright, this is going to be the last photographs," Travis said, placing you two underneath the wedding arch. You glanced up at the white flowers that were hanging above you and Chris. "now give me final kiss! Let's see it!"

Chris went for it and dipped you, smashing his lips against yours. You smiled through the kiss as he continued the kiss. You could hear the snapshots from Travis as Chris went on to kiss you thoroughly. You felt something you hadn't felt in a long time. You hated to admit it, but you were falling in love again. Chris broke the kiss and helped you back onto your feet.

"Perfect!" Travis cheered excitedly. "You two are so cute! It was like you two were practically made for each other."

You looked over at Chris who was already staring at you. He smiled. "It really does seem like it, doesn't it?"

You cleared your throat and looked back over at Travis. "Um, thanks for taking our photos Travis."

Chris's eyes fell to the floor. He could tell that you didn't feel the same. He felt like he was falling for you, but he didn't want to if you weren't. Little did he know, you were silently falling for him as well.

"So Chris," You spoke, looking back over at him. "what's this event that we're attending next week?"

"Oh, it's a formal dance ball," Chris answered with a shrug. "my family and friends are all going to be there," Chris said, reaching out for your hand. He held your hand and pierced his ocean blue eyes into yours. "I'm excited for everyone to meet you."

You inhaled deeply. "I'm excited to meet them."
