Today was the day. Today was my wedding day. Synyster and I were going to tie the knot in front of all our friends and family.
My heart was racing as I looked through my veil and down the altar. I wanted to cry. I have never seen Synyster look so handsome than he did now. My dad kept asking me if I was going to be okay. I kept telling him yes as we reached the altar.
Synyster took my hand and walked with me up to the altar. I was a blushing bride alright when he moved the veil from my face. His eyes lit up as he looked at me while the veil fell behind my head.
I handed Kelly my bouquet and held Synyster's hands tight as we started the next chapter of our lives.
It wasn't your average wedding. It was a little bit traditional with alittle bit of an Avenged Sevenfold taste. The preacher asked Synyster to do his vows first. There were butterflies in my stomach now. What could Syn say in the vows?
"Samantha, ever since we met during a battle of the bands 6 years ago, I knew that you would be the one for me. Your my best friend. Your my world. I love you with all my heart. And now, we make our love official. I never want to lose you. I promise to honor you and cherish every moment we have together. I love you." said Syn as he looked up from his vows. I was tearing up.
"Your vows next, Samantha." said the preacher. Oh boy. Well, here goes nothing.
"Synyster, when we met that day, I always thought of you as just another rocker. But, when we started to get to know each other, I started to realize that you weren't just another rocker. You were a real person. And as we continued to see each other, I knew that I have found my one true love. Your my soulmate. Your my best friend and I love you so much." I said as I wiped away my tears and looked at Syn.
"Please repeat after me?" asked the preacher as he turned toward Syn. "Do you Synyster take Samantha to be your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold? In sickness and in health til death do you part?"
"I do." replied Synyster. I laughed softly as I continued to cry alittle bit more.
"Do you Samantha take Synyster to be your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold? In sickness and in health til death do you part?" asked the preacher.
"I do." I said as I looked into Synyster's eyes. This is it. This is the big moment.
"I now pronounce you husand and wife. Synyster, you may kiss the bride." said the preacher as Syn smiled and kissed me like it was his dying wish. "I give you Mr. and Mrs. Synyster Gates" said the priest as I took my bouquet from Kelly in one hand and took ahold of Syn's hand in the other.
Everybody kept cheering and clapping as we walked the aisle as official husband and wife. My heart was beating out of my chest as we reached the limo outside. The driver held the door open as we climbed in.
"We did it." I said as I took off my veil and threw it across the back of the limo.
"We really did it." said Synyster as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder. "We're officially married. To me, it feels amazing." said Synyster. This was the best feeling in the world.
"It feels like a dream come true. I always knew that we would be spending the rest of our lives together." I said as I looked up into his eyes. "I love you Mr. Synyster Gates." I giggled softly as I held his hand.
"I love you too Mrs. Synyster Gates." said Synyster as he kissed my lips.
We finally reached the reception. I was so nervous. I tightened my grip alittle on Syn's hand.
"Hey." he said as he caressed my cheek softly. "Everything's going to be fine. We just have to get through the reception and then we can finally be alone together on the honeymoon, okay?" he asked. I shook my head yes and kissed him softly.
This is it. This is the moment where we enter in front of everyone we know as husband and wife. The butterflies in my stomach were flapping non-stop as we left the limo and entered through the reception.
Shadows and the guys came and greeted us at our table. I couldn't stop smiling.
"Congratulations Synyster. I'm really happy for you, man." said Shadows as they gave each other a hug. I heard a random tapping on a glass as I watched them get up all at once. Synyster and I were so confused. What was going on?
"We want to thank everyone for coming out for our best friends big day. To the guys and myself, we hardly knew Samantha, but we realized that she was starting to grow on us." said Shadows as he passed the microphone over to Zacky.
"How nice she is. How sweet she is. How lovely she can sing. I never thought that I could become friends with an amazing girl like her with so much talent and so much love for our man Synyster." said Zacky as he passed it on.
"So Shadows Zacky Johnny and myself got together and decided to give you guys the perfect wedding present." said the Rev as Syn and I got up and walked over to them. He handed us a mysterious envelope as I looked at Syn and back at the envelope.
"Should we open it together?" asked Synyster.
"Yeah. I think we should." I said as Synyster and I opened the envelope all at once. My eyes teared up again as we saw what was inside. "Oh my god you guys. Thank you so much." I said as I walked over and hugged them one after the other.
"What is it?" asked Kelly.
"It's a honeymoon in Paris." said Synyster. "We're going to Paris for our honeymoon!"
"We love you guys so much." I said as Synyster hugged me tight.
Throughout the evening, everything went by in a blur. But, I would do anything to relive my first dance again. As we were dancing, I couldn't stop looking at Syn's hand. Wedding band and all. It felt like I was dreaming, but it was more of a reality.
We said our last goodbyes to our friends and family and we were on our way to our dream honeymoon in Paris, France thanks to the guys.
The honeymoon was just so romantic as we spent time near the Eiffel Tower and Norte Dame. Synyster thought that it would be romantic if he took a picture of us in front of the Eiffel Tower at night and send it to the guys back home.
I thought it was the best idea I ever heard. I stood next to Synyster as he held me close and took the picture on his phone. I couldn't stop smiling. The way the tower looked against the dark sky was just so breath-taking and romantic.
Being here in Paris on my honeymoon with my new husband has been a life changing experience. I was right about Synyster and I spending the rest of our lives together and it really happened.
It felt like I was falling in love all over again but it was a permanent love. I was falling in love with music. I was falling in love with the music. I never wanted this honeymoon to end. It was just so special that I never wanted to leave. I wanted to stay in Paris and be with my true love forever.
My heart was racing as I looked through my veil and down the altar. I wanted to cry. I have never seen Synyster look so handsome than he did now. My dad kept asking me if I was going to be okay. I kept telling him yes as we reached the altar.
