Im Gay, But It's A Secret

Chapter 17: 5 Years On

5 years went by and me and Jordan grew closer everytime we saw each other, we went on countless more dates and I felt more and more comfortable and loved and cherished with everything we had done together, being with him made me feel a type of way that I had never felt before, it was the 5th year after I had left the hospital that I had gotten down on one knee and proposed to him in the moonlight on the beach with the waves rolling in the background. It took 1 year of planning and alot of money but the day finally came, the day of our wedding, we had booked a hall, we had planned our vows, we had planned what was going to be served and what was going to be said and done and in what order, the day finally arrived and we were ready, Jordan went back home the night before because it's bad luck to see the groom before the wedding, I had spent a full 24 hours away from the love of my life, but I knew it was worth it, 24 hours is a small price to pay for the rest of our lives ahead. Once morning had hit I was so nervous, it was 3 hours of preparation, getting ready, getting my suit cleaned, ironed and for my bridesmaids and groomsmen to get ready, they all lined up in front of the door and wished me luck as I walked past them. I got into the car first, then my groomsman and bridesmaids followed behind. The journey to the hall took 1 hour, but it was worth the wait. When I had arrived I went up the the matron to find out if Jordan had arrived and found out he was a little bit delayed, I immediately thought the worst and started to panic. My friends calmed me down and then a car arrived, the matron came into the room and told me to get ready. Moments later I was walking down the aisle towards Jordan, with my best friend Lizzie on my arm, I walked up and stood beside Jordan who was absolutely gorgeous and made me look tacky, Lizzie took her place beside me and I turned, linked hands with Jordan and stared straight at him. The ceremony went for half an hour, I was nervous, Jordan could see it, my hands were shaking, I couldn't believe I was finally marrying the love of my life. Jordan assured me everything will be ok, I calmed down and smiled, Jordan knew exactly what to say to make me happy, we recited our vows to each other and then put our rings on, the time had finally come for us to have our first kiss as a married couple, as soon as my lips touched his it reality hit me and it felt like I was kissing him for the first time. Shortly after the reception had begun, the energy in the room was electric and the time had come for our first dance together, the song we chose is Hero by Mariah Carey, it described how much Jordan meant to me, he was indeed my hero, he saved me at my lowest point. Everyone joined us on the dance floor and the speeches started, Lizzie spoke first and I was in tears, her words touched me and I couldn't describe how well they were worded, Jordan's friend Cameron spoke next, I was holding Jordan's hand and he broke down in tears, I put my hands around him, wiped his tears and hugged him. The cake came out and it was gorgeous, it was a 4 tier cake that was dropped in fondant roses, circling around the cake in Red, Orange, Yellow, Green Blue and Purple, sitting on a bright white perfectly shaped fondant covering and 2 little figures at the top. Once the cake was cut there wasn't much left to do, I danced with Jordan until the last song had been announced and just like that on the 23rd of September 2024, we were married.
