"You look. . .stunning," he whispered, making me smile.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here in the sight of God, and in the face of this company, to join together this Man and this Woman in holy Matrimony-" I droned out what he was saying; only concentrating on this amazing man in front of me. He was the definition of amazing. Although we hadn't had a smooth past, I knew- and my heart was agreeing with me on this- that we were going to have a very smooth future laying ahead of us.
"Who will give away this bride today?" the minister asked, and instantly, Alex walked to us before placing my hand on my soon husband-to-be's smooth yet warm and calloused hand, sparks immediately flying between us.
The minister began saying the vows, me repeating after him. "I, Sophia Campbell, take thee Chase Carter, to my wedded Husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part," I said, placing the ring into my mate's finger. If the mark hadn't made it obvious that he was mine, then this make it to everyone.
Placing my ring into my finger, he started, repeating the minister as well, "I, Chase Carter, take thee Sophia Campbell to my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part."
"Sophia, I promise to encourage your compassion,
Because that is what makes you unique and wonderful.
I promise to nurture your dreams,
Because through them your soul shines.
I promise to help shoulder our challenges,
For there is nothing we cannot face if we stand together.
I promise to be your partner in all things,
Not possessing you, but working with you as a part of the whole.
I promise to you perfect love and perfect trust,
For one lifetime with you could never be enough.
In your eyes, I have found my home.
In your heart, I have found my love.
