Chapter 27

{time skip ~ 1 week ~ WEDDING DAY}

     Nauseous. That's all I feel right now. Nauseous. My nerves are through the gotdamn roof. Today is the day Jasper and I finally get married. Fingers crossed this doesn't go the same as last time.

     Our lives have been pretty fucked up lately. I didn't want the darkness to bum everyone out. I wanted to remind everyone that even black is a beautiful color. Without darkness, we'd never see the stars. To illustrate this idea, Alice made a new wedding dress that was black. The white one was also ripped and stained with tears, so it needed replacing anyway. She got me new shoes, ones that I liked better. The others weren't my style. The new ones were elegant and red with gold designs on the back. My makeup was also changed to be darker. My bouquet is darker as well. Those are the only changed details. The wedding is still in the same place, the tuxes are still red, and the bridesmaids and maid of honor dresses are also still red.

{time skip ~ vows}

     Jasper and I agreed on using the vows from Corpse Bride in our wedding. It started as a joke; then Reese heard it and begged us to do it. It's her favorite movie and she seemed so excited, we couldn't say no. Now, I'm getting married to the love of my life by quoting a fucking claymation.

"I understand the couple has written, or rather quoted, their own vows. Kennedy, ladies first." He nodded at me, signaling me to say my part.

I took a deep breath and started speaking.

"With this hand, I will lift your sorrows. Your cup will never empty, for I will be your wine. With this candle, I will light your way in darkness. With this ring, I ask you to be mine."

"Jasper.."

"With this hand, I will lift your sorrows. Your cup will never empty, for I will be your wine. With this candle, I will light your way in darkness. With this ring, I ask you to be mine."

"Now," the priest began. "Jasper, repeat after me. I, Jasper Whitlock, take thee, Kennedy Davis.."

"I, Jasper Whitlock, take thee, Kennedy Davis.."

"As my lawfully wedded wife.."

"As my lawfully wedded wife.."

"To have and to hold.."

"To have and to hold.."

"To love and to cherish.."

"To love and to cherish.."

"For rich or for poor.."

"For rich or for poor.."

"Through sickness and in health.."

"Through sickness and in health.."

"For as long as we both shall live."

"For as long as we both shall live."

"Kennedy, repeat after me. I, Kennedy Davis, take thee, Jasper Whitlock.."

"I, Kennedy Davis, take thee, Jasper Whitlock.."

"As my lawfully wedded husband.."

"As my lawfully wedded husband.."

"To have and to hold.."

"To have and to hold.."

"To love and to cherish.."

"To love and to cherish.."

"For rich or for poor.."

"For rich or for poor.."

"Through sickness and in health.."

"Through sickness and in health.."

"For as long as we both shall live."

"For as long as we both shall live."

"Do you, Jasper Whitlock, take thee, Kennedy Davis, to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I do."

"Do you, Kennedy Davis, take thee, Jasper Whitlock, to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do."

"Jasper, you may now kiss your bride."

He cupped my face with his hands and gazed at me, his eyes glistening with tears. I gave him a small smile and wrapped my hands around his wrists, caressing them softly. I trailed my hands up his arms, rubbing his shoulders, and stopping at his jawline. I leaned my head in as my thumb massaged his cheekbones. He leaned in to meet me halfway.

Now, whenever people would talk about fireworks going off when they shared their first kiss as a married couple, I rolled my eyes. I mean it makes no sense right? Wrong. Very wrong. When we kissed, I felt thousands of fireworks erupting inside my body. My heart skipped a beat and I got butterflies in my stomach. I was ecstatic. This was truly one of the most magical moments of my life. If only I'd known...

...how much better that day would get.

A/N: so I lied. I guess I'm doing more than one more chapter. I think I'll do this one and another one. Just to really wrap it all up you know? I felt like I couldn't truly end this book off in just a single chapter. Hope y'all like it! I hope everyone is happy and healthy. One of the members, Jake Kiszka, in my favorite band, Greta Van Fleet, is sick rn. He was in the hospital for 4 days, poor baby. A lot of shows were rescheduled. If any of you were planning on going, just know that it's okay to be disappointed. Especially if you spent unrefundable money (hotels, flights, etc.) Just don't blame the boys. They are human. Humans get sick sometimes. And that's okay. The most important thing is their health. Stay humble! Spread love, peace, and unity! Have a good day/night/whatever time of day it is in your area!

Much love,
Ozzy
