Love Hate and revenge

The Wedding

I was nervous about marriage being 23 nearly 24 I was still very young but Hugh was the only man for me and I knew I wanted to marry him.

Hugh inspired me and had changes my life for the better. At 27 he had accomplished so much, he was strong and powerful but with me he was sensitive and so caring and I knew I was one of the only people to see this side of him. Hugh was a closed book, very private and hated anything leaking to the press he liked to control every situation and made sure he succeeded in everything he did, he made me trust again and even love which I never thought could happen.

I woke up early today feeling sick with nerves and not being able to pick up the phone to mother or even have her here was killing me but then this was my idea I suppose and if I had of went with Hugh and has a big wedding with everyone there then it meant either waiting till Jake was better or doing it without him and then what if he doesn't get better which I don't even want to think about so this is how it has to be and when he gets better we will have a big pretend wedding for everyone else and if anyone objects well to hell with with them, well now that I have pep talked myself I think I'm ready.

Hugh had already left for the hospital as Lisa and Luke were meeting him there. I pulled my hair up in a low bun and pulled on my long white summer dress I mean it wasn't a wedding dress or anything but it was white so I think it will be ok. I decided on natural makeup and kept it at a minimum, I put on my white pumps and took a deep breath before walking out the house and getting in the car.

Hugh had arranged for a white Bentley to pick me up which I thought was absurd but he said he wanted it to be as special as it could be, which I suppose I could really begrudge him that.

Arriving at the hospital I walked to the ward which wasn't far I walked through the double doors and the nurses looked at me in awe I smiled back at them feeling weird for walking down a hospital corridor and not an aisle but then it went when I seen his door knowing the two most important people were behind it.

The door opened and in the corner was the pastor and Hugh with Jake at his side in his crib, Lisa and Luke were sitting on two chairs. I closed the door behind me taking in another deep breath even though there was only us I still felt extremely anxious, I turned and locked eyes with Hugh it was magical he looked amazing in his grey suit and tie he looked smart and sexy as hell. the anxious feeling had dispersed and I felt the warm love in his eyes as I walked closer to him.

"Alex you look amazing."

"You don't look to bad yourself."

"I can't wait to be your husband,"

"I know, hows Jake been?"

"Perfect just like his mother."

"Right shall we get started."

"Yes pastor thank you."

"Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to join together this man and woman in holy matrimony, which is commended to be honourable among all men; and therefore- is not by any- to be entered into unadvisedly and solemnly. into this holy estate these two persons present now come to be joined if any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together - let them speak now or forever hold your peace."

I turned and smiled at Lisa and Luke knowing they weren't going to object to me and Hugh, I then turn back and face Hugh who grabs both my hands I could feel them shaking against his, he soothed me by rubbing my knuckles.

"I Alexandra Blakewood, take thee Hugh Hendrix to be my lawfully wedded husband,y constant friend, my faithful partner and my love from this day forward. In the presence of god, our family and friends, I offer you solemn vow to be your faithful partner in sickness and in health, in good times as in sorrow. I promise to love you unconditionally, to support you in your goals, to honour and respect you to laugh and to cry with you and to cherish you for as long as we both shall live."

I place Hugh's ring on his finger before wiping away a tear that had escaped from my eye,

"I Hugh Hendrix, take you Alexandra Blakewood to be my wife, loving what I know of you, and trusting what I do not yet know. I eagerly anticipate the chance to grow together, getting to know the woman you will become, and falling in love a little more every day. I promise to love and cherish you through whatever life may bring us."

The words just seemed to smoothly glide from Hugh's mouth moving my inner soul like every word was an encryption code which meant so much more between us, I felt magical like now we were completely one.

The pastor said a few more words but them I heard him say "You may kiss her now Hugh." I think we were both in our little bubble Hugh grabbed my face gently raining kisses on my lips I closed my eyes and savoured every last one.

That was it I was now Alex Hendrix and I lived it, loved the fact Hugh was my husband and I was his wife. we thanked the pastor before he left, Hugh also asked Luke and Lisa if they wanted to come to ours for celebratory drinks which they agreed, Jake started to stir,

"I think my beautiful boy is hungry!"

"I think your right baby I'll just see Luke and Lisa out I will be back in 5 minutes."

"Ok darling, thanks for coming guys I will see you later."

"Yeh sure, see you later Alex." Lisa said as she walked out the door leaving just me and Jake to get comfortable for his feed.

So I'm sitting here with my beautiful son thinking how lucky I am to be Hugh's wife now and to know that Jake is going to be better soon is a dream come true I just hope things keep looking up I suppose nothing else could go wrong could it?
