Natalie's POV
"Your vows." Salma says and I look at Alex. "Who wants to go first?"
"I would like to go first." Alex says.
I grin as Alex grabs the piece of paper from Christen.
"Bare with me while I read this, I've been rehearsing for a while now." Alex says and I furrow my eyebrows in confusion.
"You got this baby." I whisper, Alex smiles at me as she grips the piece of paper.
"Yo te he querido desde cuando te vi por primera vez." I have loved you since the moment I first saw you. Alex starts and my jaw drops. "Tu eres mi persona." You are my person.
"I'm gonna lose it." I say as I look at Salma.
"Tu cambiaste mi vida, nunca e amado a alguien como te amo a ti. Tu eres el latir de mí corazón. Cuando te conocí por primera vez algo de ti me atra-atrajo. Aunque no lo ac-ace- aceptaba yo te amé desde el primer día." You changed my life, I have never loved someone the way I love you. You are the beating of my heart. When I first met you, something about you attracted me. Although I never accepted it, I had loved you from the first day.
I smile as I bite the inside of my cheeks again, my eyes begin to water and I look at Alex who's intently looking at her paper.
"Cuando hablas de tu mamá yo se que ella te, te, crió muy bien, porque eres perfecta y respetas a todos. Tu defiendes los que amas. Yo digo qué te pareces como a tu mamá. Tan pura y no- noble y humilde." Alex reads, her voice beginning to sound shaky. When you talk about your mom I know that she raised you so well, because you are perfect and respect everyone. You defend those you love. I say that you're just like your mom. So pure, noble and humble.
"Crap."
"Yo te prometo que te amare para siempre y te escucharé cuando lo necesites. Tu eres mi sol, la razón por que sonrío. Gracias por amarme cuando pienso y pensé que nadie me podría amar. Espero crecer contigo y algún día empezar una familia juntas. Pero hoy y para siempre será tuya, como tú eres mía. Prometo amarte cada día, y también los días que me hagas enojar. Eres lo mejor que me ha pasado." I promise you that I will love you forever and I will listen to you when you need it. You are my sun, the reason why I smile. Thank you for loving me when I think and thought no one could love me. I hope to grow with you and one day start a family together. But today and forever I am yours, just like you are mine. I promise to love you everyday, and also the days you'll make me mad. You are the best that's ever happened to me.
"I didn't- what?" I ask in shock.
"If none of you caught on, I was speaking in Spanish. Nat here has been teaching me Spanish but I've also tried well have been taking lessons myself. This was hard work." Alex says and I laugh. "Te amo."
"I'm absolutely speechless." I say as I just move my hands around. "I don't think I can continue."
"Natalie mija come on, you can't leave us like that, your vows." Salma says with a smile.
"Well damn, okay. Alex, you are my sunshine. Although we started out on a rough start, I think a part of me always knew you were the one." I fumble my paper a bit as I run my hand on my suit. "I'm sorry, I'm so nervous."
Everyone cheers me on as I grab the paper.
"I've loved absolutely everything about you. I never thought I'd be marrying the woman I constantly watched through television, seeing your games and watching you score. It all just seemed impossible, you know? You've become a part of me, of my heart. You're all I want, all I can think about. I want to spend every single second I can with you. I'll listen to you, I'll comfort you, I'll do anything for you as long as it keeps you happy and smiling. I'm sorry everyone, I'm still nervous."
"You got this." Alex whispers and I smile.
"I realized I was in love when I heard a song that described exactly what I was feeling. My sister as you know sings, there are lyrics that always stood out to me when I was thinking I was falling in love with you. It says, you can hear it in the silence, you can feel it on the way home, you could see it with the lights out, you are in love. That was the moment I knew I was in love, with you. When I felt those words resonating with my feelings. I like the thought of waking up to you for the rest of my life and the thought of knowing you'll be right there with me when I go to sleep. Alex you are what keeps me going and what gives me strength and determination. I love you."
"Most beautiful vows, I think I'll have to get married again. I think my husband needs to step it up a notch." Salma whispers making Alex and I laugh.
We continue on with the ceremony, the wedding rings and all the small traditions I wanted to add, that Alex supported me in.
The beginning of our exit song begins as Salma clears her throat.
Hold on to me as we go
As we roll down this unfamiliar road
And although this wave (wave) is stringing us along
Just know you're not alone
'Cause I'm gonna make this place your home
"So by the power vested in me, I pronounce you wife and wife. You may kiss your bride." Salma says.
Everyone claps and cheers as Alex and I look at each other. Alex blushes as I squeeze her hand. We sort of just stand there awkwardly.
Settle down, it'll all be clear
Don't pay no mind to the demons
They fill you with fear
The trouble, it might drag you down
If you get lost, you can always be found
"What are you doing?" Kelley shouts as Alex and I just continue to awkwardly stand.
Just know you're not alone
'Cause I'm gonna make this place your home
"Kiss her you fool!" Taylor and Kelley shout at the same time.
"Yeah kiss her you fool!" Chris Hemsworth shouts.
Everyone laughs, I place my hand on Alex's back as I pull her close to me. Connecting our lips for our first kiss as wives.
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
"There we go! Yeah!" I hear Chris shout.
"Mrs. and Mrs?" Salma asks and I chuckle.
Settle down, it'll all be clear
Don't pay no mind to the demons
They fill you with fear
The trouble, it might drag you down
If you get lost, you can always be found
"Al?" I ask.
"Acevedo."
"We'll decide on Swift later on." I whisper.
"I present to you for the first time, Mrs. and Mrs. Acevedo everyone."
Just know you're not alone
'Cause I'm gonna make this place your home
I grab Alex's hand as we turn towards everyone.
"Woo!" I shout.
"Yeah bub!" Tay shouts.
We walk down the aisle for the first time together, as wives. I bring Alex's hand to my face as I place a kiss on her hand.
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
"We're married!" I shout as I raise Alex and I's hands up.
Everyone cheers and applauds as we walk down the aisle, I feel some pats on my back as I see all our friends.
I find the camera and I smile as I point at the camera. Alex and I raise our hands to the camera, showing our rings.
"Woo!" Alex shouts. "We're married!"
We're married.
Let the party begin.
