ROYAL MOMENTS | JEREMIAH HART³

Chapter Twenty-Five

[ Royal Moments ]

[ Chapter Twenty-Five: We Could Be Royals ]

I TOOK A DEEP BREATH, trying to calm myself down as I stood outside the doors. It wasn't long before my Mom came outside to join me so she could walk me down the aisle. I could hear the chatter of the guests inside the church which made me want to disappear back into my bedroom.

"You ready, Mary?" Mom asked me and I nodded my head trying to calm my breathing, but it wasn't long before the church doors opened

"I am,  just don't let me fall Mom." I joked with her, trying to ease my nerves and she smiled, pressing a kiss onto my cheek

Mom guided me down the aisle, and I looked straight ahead, looking at the love of my life. Due to the dress being long, the train was held by Marisa and some girls from the Genovian Orphan Society. I could hear the whispering of some our guest due to my pregnancy but I took the high road, and continued to walk straight ahead.

I stumbled lightly but I quickly steadied myself after taking a breather. I clutched the bouquet in my hand tightly before squeezing my Mom's arm for reassurance. She glanced at me from the corner of my eye, and I gave her a slight smile and I knew she could tell I was still nervous.

I started to take deep breaths as we were closer to Jeremiah and Uncle Pierre who was doing the courtesy to the family by ordaining this wedding. I gave Jeremiah a wide smile, and he grinned back, and it was in the moment as we held eye contact, that my worriness faded away. It felt like ages when I finally reached them but in reality, it was the matter of a few short minutes due to the long aisle.

We stopped walking once we were in front of them, and Mom let me go but not before kissing my cheek once more. She held my hand for a few more seconds before placing it inside the hand of Jeremiah. She walked away and once she went to stand next to Mia, and the girls returned to their seats, Jeremiah and I walked a few steps up to be with my uncle, who had gestured for everyone to be seated.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here in this glorious day to witness the union between Jeremiah Hart and Rosemarie Thermopolis. Please, repeat after me. 'I, Jeremiah Hart,'" Uncle Pierre started to say but due to the microphone he had, everyone could hear it

"I, Jeremiah Hart"

"Take you Rosemarie Thermopolis"

"Take you Rosemarie Thermopolis"

"To have and to hold"

"To have and to hold"

"For better or for worse"

"For richer or for poor"

"In sickness and in health,"

"To love,"

"To cherish, as long as we both shall live"

"I do."

"I do."

"I love you."

I whispered to him, only for us to hear and he smiled down at me. I took a step forward to be in his arms, and I grinned up at him, pecking him in the lips. I grinned widely once he placed his hands on my neck, kissing me fully for everyone to see.

I could hear the crowd cheering as we continued to kiss one another. Once we were done, we allowed our foreheads to press onto one another, the both of us maintaining eye contact. We only lasted a couple of seconds before we kissed each other one more time. At the moment, it was only us two in the world.
