Now, serious time.
I sighed and took a deep breath, "Kezr. My love. My heart. My baby K." At my last endearment everyone awed causing me to blush and Kezr rolled his eyes. He hates when I call him baby K.
"I remember when the first time I was getting married to you, how scared I was. How frightened I was. Thinking you'd not like me. Thinking I'd be trapped again. But, I had hope in me, hope that you'll accept me, hope that you'll see my love for you one day, and my wishes came true." He smiled at me and looked down.
"I remember how I took your hand in mine and you used to act like I was an allergy that was contagious" it was all quiet now, the only sound that could be heard was mine and the sound of waves and air clashing.
"We had that fight in your office and I lost all hope, I cried myself to sleep knowing you'll never accept me, a hot, gorgeous, hoxy man wouldn't be mine." Everyone smiled and laughed at my childish adjective for Kezr.
I call him hoxy all the time. And at this point everyone knows what hoxy means.
"I promised myself that I'd never forgive and I'll accept the harsh truth of you not accepting me." Kezr still had his head down and nodded stifly while looking down.
"But then, you decided to give this marriage a try. You decided to give us a try. You decided to give me a try. And yet here we are. I forgive you, I mean how could I not. I scored a full package." a few of the guests laughed causing me to laugh through my tears which were gathering in my eyes remembering our journey from hate to love.
Kezr pinched his nose bridge and massaged his forehead while standing. Listening to me, very attentively.
"You taught me that I didn't need to hope, cause you are, were and will forever be my hope for love. From your demands to your whining for kisses, from your anger to your crying for forgiveness, from your glare to your pout when you're jealous, all that, I love it. All of it. At first I was a bit insecured knowing you'll find someone better. But, you showed me true love and your clingyness of how you get angry when I don't respond to you for 5 minutes, all that makes me love you, I love you. Only you."
I had successfully managed to keep my tears in but Kezr started my water works when I heard him take a deep breath and he looked up at me with his eyes filled with tears.
I cupped his cheek in my hands and caressed his eyes, he let them close and a few tears escaped his eyes causing mine to fall too.
