SoA: Wedding speeches - Bridesmaid style

Mary was standing by Nakota and Maya's sides during their wedding. She managed to contain herself fairly well during the whole ceremony but as soon as they kissed, tears started to roll on her cheeks. She couldn't help herself and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand.  Nakota came into their lives like a surprise, such a surprise that Maya didn't tell her she was dating him until several months into the relationship. Mary was confused at first but upon seeing Maya's smiles whenever she mentioned him, her eagerness to join him, and how comfortable she felt by his side, she felt comfortable with the idea of him. 


Meeting Nakota however, opened Mary's eyes. They quickly became friends and as they spent time together, Mary became fond of him. She could relate to his past, to some of his traumas, to some of his mentality and he made her laugh, he made her feel safe and she came to think of him as family. He was like the brother Cody never was. Someone who cared for the people he loved and someone willing to work towards getting better. Here he was, standing tall and proud while holding his wife. As tears kept rolling down her cheeks, Mary shifted her gaze from Nakota to Maya. 


Maya's growth was phenomenal. To watch as she sets herself free from the shackles of Charming and finds a new purpose for her life. She saw a future for herself, a future where she would be happy and where she would be something else than the princess of the Sons of Anarchy. She was now her own person. She had grieved for her family and had made peace with her past. She managed to move forward and was now her own person, in control of her own destiny. For someone who thought she could never be able to be happy, meeting Nakota changed everything. Meeting Nakota destroyed the walls she built to protect herself just so they could build a new home together, with strong foundations and Mary witnessed everything. So, as the newlyweds kissed each other, Mary was only left crying tears of joy because her sister, her beloved sister was finally happy. "And it's just the beginning..."
