TEMPTATION | JENLISA G!P (COMPLETE)

CH 35

JENNIEs POV

The sun is beginning to set over the shimmering water. A gentle breeze whistles through the evening air and the serene aura encompasses us. The object of my desire, my love and my life stands before me looking suave in her fitted suit. Some may say I am crazy for getting married at such a young age but those people would be wrong. If you had the opportunity to be with that one person who makes you feel whole, the person who you know for certain will do everything in his or her power, and let's be honest Lisa's power is vast, to protect and love you for the rest of your life, you would grab it with both hands. Yes my Lisa is flawed and is carrying a truck load of issues on her shoulders, but I love her with all of my heart and today I will pledge my devotion to her.

The band located at the side of the arches play the opening chords of "Imagine" and the butterflies awaken in my stomach once more, or that could be our little bundle of joy trying to get in on some of the action not that I could ever forget them. I hook my arm through Charles and step forward to start what seems like an endless path to the end and into the arms of my woman. The closer I get to Lisa the more I relax and savour the moment, because you can be sure I will not be doing this again; Lisa is it for me. My dress glides along the carpet and complements the dusk perfectly. The elation spread proud across Lisa's impossibly handsome face makes my heart skip a few vital beats. There have not been many occasions during this woman's short life when she has been this happy or content and knowing that I am the reason for that means more than anybody could possibly know. I want to erase all of the heartache she has suffered and replace it with joy and security; never again do I want pain to grace her perfect features.

My feet seem to have a mind of their own; they are travelling faster than any bride in history that has walked down the aisle. The tearful expressions of those close to us are touching and I offer a grateful smile. Like most traditional weddings, the two families were penciled to be seated on either side but that seemed too impersonal to me. I scraped the seating plan, much to Addi's disgust, and ordered everyone to sit where they fancied as long as the front few rows were reserved for immediate family; this has currently resulted in Amelia and my mother side by side comforting each other in a emotional embrace. The stunning melody is soothing and by the time I reach Lisa's side, the nerves have disappeared and peace has settled in. Our eyes are locked onto one another's like rafters and we are both clinging on for dear life; it is Charles' gentle squeeze on my arms which draws us out of our bubble. I turn to my father and give him another tender kiss on his cheek, the level of affection emulating from me is a surprise to him, mainly because he has received the brunt of it. I just need to show him how much I love and respect the woman who made me what I am today; without his guidance and support I don't know how I would have survived. Charles may be a taciturn fisherman and he may keep it well hidden but he has a heart of gold, my mother sure missed out there. Charles kisses my forehead and takes his place next to William on the front row.

"You look so hot and breathtaking.." Lisa's intimate whisper draws my attention away from my retreating father and once again I am trapped in those brown orbs; love, passion and hope dancing across her gaze.

"You don't look too bad yourself." I smile shyly. That suit is doing wonders for her body. Every sinew is dressed in the finest Italian cloth and her high heels Celine shoes are gleaming with polish, however the most special part of her ensemble is most definitely the cuff links, an J and a L with a small cluster of gems along the centre of each letter representing the birth stone of our baby based on the predicted due date.

With our hands entwined, we stand before the Minister and wait for the ceremony to begin.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the sight of God and nature to join together this two lovely ladies in holy matrimony. Before we continue, if any man can show any just cause, why these two people may not be lawfully joined together, let him speak now or forever hold his peace."
