4 MONTHS LATER

JASMINE

I smiled as I walked down the aisle hand in hand with my dad staring at my husband to be . I could hear Mckenzye babbling over the "here comes the bride" instrumental . I let out a single tear of happiness and another for my mom because she wasn't here physically but then again I knew she was here watching spiritually . I had so many family me members there that I had no idea I had and friends that I made over the last few years ... yeaa yeaa yeaa my mean cold hearted self made friends .

"Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here today in the presence of these witnesses, to join Jasmine and Marcus in matrimony commended to be honorable among all; and therefore is not to be entered into lightly but reverently, passionately, lovingly and solemnly. Into this - 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 their peace."
The preacher began . we decided to host the wedding in Trinidad at my grandmas church so we wouldn't have to fly everyone down to NYC .

"Who gives this woman/man to be wed?"

"We do sir" Jefferson and my dad said at once proudly . There was then a prayer sent for our marriage . After the preacher told us his definition of marriage talking in the tone of the wedding set by the prayer .

"I, Jasmine Francis, take you, Marcus Johnson to be my husband , my friend, my faithful partner and my love from this day forward. In the presence our family and friends, I offer you my solemn vow to be your faithful partner in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, and in joy as well as in sorrow. I promise to love you unconditionally, to support you in your goals, to honor and respect you, to laugh with you and cry with you, and to cherish you for as long as we both shall live."

"I Marcus Johnson, take you Jasmine Francis to be my wife, my partner in life and my one true love. I will cherish our union and love you more each day than I did the day before. I will trust you and respect you, laugh with you and cry with you, loving you faithfully through good times and bad, regardless of the obstacles we may face together. I give you my hand, my heart, and my love, from this day forward for as long as we both shall live."

"I Jasmine give you Marcus this ring as an eternal symbol of my love and commitment to you."

"I Marcus give you Jasmine this ring as an enter all symbol of my love and commitment to you."

There was then a moment of silence held for our moms . The officiant then said another prayer when it was over .

"By the power vested in me by the State of Trinidad, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride".

"I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Johnson"

Everyone cheered as we walked down the aisle .

After begin married and seeing what a wonderful family I have I softened up . Got out the game , no more Joker just Jasmine Monica Johnson . 😊💍
