Alyssa and Luke are newly weds, expecting their first baby, and getting ready to move into their first home together.

"Princess, our dreams are coming true," Luke beamed.

"I wouldn't of had it happen any other way," Alyssa gushed, her voice was full of pure happiness and she rubbed her growing tummy with her palms.

These two were completely and utterly happy with their lives.

The new baby was something they had been talking about for a year now, and ever since they found out Alyssa was pregnant they couldn't keep smiles off their faces.

They had bought their dream home in Malibu a few weeks back. Their families thought it was the most beautiful house they had ever come across. It was all theirs.

The wedding was a perfect ceremony on the beach. It was a gorgeous day, sun was shining, happiness (mixed with nervousness from the newly weds-to-be) was in the air; along with the crisp summer air. The bride was beautiful in her expensive white dress. The groom was handsome in his brand new tux that Alyssa had helped pick out.

When Alyssa walked down the aisle Luke's eyes welled up with happy tears. His soon-to-be-wife was absolutely beautiful. Gorgeous. Stunning. Radiant.

Every word that was along those lines.

Luke's hands were shaking as he helped Alyssa up the small set of stairs that led up to were they would be standing when the ceremony took place.

Absolute love was in Luke's eyes as he looked down at his significant other.

He was totally, utterly, and completely in love with this woman that he called his.

The words spoken during the ceremony took a special place in both of their hearts.

"Alyssa Jean Charleston, do you take Luke Robert Hemmings to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

Alyssa had never been happier to say two words in her life.

"I do."

A ring was slipped onto Luke's left ring finger, signifying that Alyssa was genuine.

"Luke Robert Hemmings, do you take Alyssa Jean Charleston to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

Luke had never spoken two words that had rung truer than the words he had spoke that day.

"I do."

The nervous man slipped a shiny ring onto Alyssa's small, left ring finger.

"I pronounce you two to be husband, and wife! You many kiss the beautiful bride!"

Those words were the simple words that they had been waiting for all this time. Ever since Luke proposed to Alyssa in front of the Eiffel Tower.

Luke didn't waste a second before he leaned forward and kissed Alyssa like he had never kissed her before.

This was their first step to a new chapter. A chapter than both of them were completely confused about. Neither of them knew what they were doing, but they knew it was the right thing.

One person can be strong, but they will be even stronger once they find their soul mate. They get to be strong together.

They get to love each other.

Purely love.

They get to have a forever together. They get the reassurance that whatever they do, they will always be supported, no matter what. They get a best friend that lasts a life time and so much more.
