Jake and Willow met by chance in the last 2 months of the Naval Academy. From that day, they chose to stick by each other's side through every up and down life had to offer, even when they're both selected to train for the deadliest mission they've...

The Ceremony
Jake was the first to walk down the aisle with his mother on his arm. Mama already had tears in her eyes as she left her baby boy at the altar.
Next down is his father who guides Sarah Kazansky to her seat before settling down next to his wife. Jake watches as his sisters Nancy and Jessica walk down the aisle with their husbands. Nancy and Jess wear dusty blue dresses while their husbands sport the blue, almost gray, suits Willow and Jake had chosen.
Both of his brother in laws give him an encouraging pat in the back and Jake beams even brighter when he sees his twin nephews Hunter and Garrett, Jess's kids who are just a few months shy of a year, waddle down as the ring bearers. Jake chuckles softly as Jess and her husband each grab one of the boys to hold during the ceremony.
Jake turns his attention back to the aisle where he sees the flower girls. 8 year old twins Maddie and Grace guiding 11 month old Ellorie down the aisle, tossing flower petals left and right. Maddie and Grace split between their parents and Elle be-lines for her father.
"Dada!" Her small shout makes everyone in attendance awe at the sweet little girl. Jake lifts his daughter into his arms where she rests her head. Sarah softly walks over offering to take the young girl so Jake can focus on his almost wife. He willingly shifts his daughter to deposit her into her grandma's arms.
Softly the music shifts from a soft melody to the song the two had chosen for this exact moment "Still Fallin'" by Hunter Hayes. Jake looks across the group that gathered to celebrate this day and can see the love of his life walking towards his on the arm of her surrogate father, Tom Kazansky.
Jake's eyes well with tears at the sight. Her hair pulled back just enough for Jake to see the sparkle in her eyes that he loves but not so far that her hair rests on her shoulders the way Jake loves it. He can see her bright smile from miles away and he knows she is just as excited as he is. Willow and Ice stop just before the altar and shakes hands with Jake.
"Take care of my girl, Lieutenant." Ice says firmly, Jake's hand still grasped in his.
"Yes sir, Admiral Kazansky." Jake answers as Ice releases his grip, passing Willow over to Jake with a kiss on her cheek. "Hey darlin."
"Hi." Willow smiles, she passes her bouquet to Nancy and turns to face Jake.
It was a simple ceremony. Nothing too fancy. There were no special vows or big speech as their officiant led them through the traditional vows.
When the officiant finally spoke those six words, Jake nearly leapt out of his shoes.
"You may now kiss the bride."
Jake pulled Willow close by her waist, softly pressing his lips to hers as their family cheered.
