Wishpered Promises Of LoVE

Marriage procedure

"Wh..what?"Rehan could not believe his ears. Did he hear it right? No, he must have misheard things.
   But his doubts got cleared when he saw her nodding her head at him...assuring him that there was no mistake in whatever he heard.
   "But why...so suddenly?"Rehan could not help but ask. As much as he knows her, she can never think of getting married by eloping away.
    She always wanted to have such a wedding where all of their family and friends will be present. And Rehan always respected her decision.
   But what happened suddenly?  Something was just not right...and Rehan could feel it. There must be something behind her this sudden idea.
   Rehan waited eagerly to hear her answer...but nothing came out of her mouth. All she did was just lowering her head...because she didn't have the courage to face him now.
   She was ashamed of her own demand. She knew if they get married in secret then it would never end up well. Because they will be depriving both of their families from being a part of such an important event of their lives. And none of them ever wanted to keep their families in the dark.
   But she also knows if she wants to hold onto him then it's better they get married now...so that in the future nobody could separate them saying it was just a relationship. She knows her father too well...and if today she doesn't take such a step then in the nearing future she will regret it heavily.
    Rehan lifted up her chin...making her to face him,"Never lower your gaze, Wild cat.
  You did nothing wrong by raising the topic of marriage. Trust me, I'm more eager than anyone about our wedding. And if you want...let's get married right away...right now."
   She looked into his eyes with numerous emotions...his assuring words made her to feel once again..just how lucky she was to get him.   
  Azel held his hand into hers as she looked deeply into his eyes,"You will always love me like this, right?"
   Rehan shook his head in the negative,"I will love you more with the passing moments. Please let's get married, my Wild cat. I want to call you mine legally...and I want to be called as yours only...as per the laws."
   Azel smiled brightly at him...as she nodded her head in the affirmative.
   Rehan stood up..while forwarding his right hand towards her. She held his right hand as he made her stand up as well.
   "Re, are we doing it right? What about our families?"Suddenly Azel started getting nervous. It was not paradoxical for her to feel that way...specially when she knew whatever she was going to do was not an absolute decision for a mature couple to do.
   "I won't say that it's totally correct...specially when we both are past the age of doing something silly like this. And maybe when everyone will get to know they will tell us that we took the decision in haste...we got carried away by our emotions. They will scold us for taking such an immature decision. And they are going to be very upset with us, Wild cat. After all, intentionally or unintentionally we are going to hurt them with our this action.
    But Wild cat, only we both know in which situation we took such a decision. I know something is eating you inside which you are unable to share with me right now. You are scared...too scared to lose me...hence you finally took this decision.
   Wild cat, nobody else needs to know the real reason behind our actions...because nobody but us know how much we have gone through to get to this position. If we were to take any decision in haste or if we were to get carried away...then we could have done it a lot earlier.
   If we were that immature, then we had numerous chances to elope away...we could have done that. But we never took that decision...rather we waited...waited for everything to get back on track. Maybe sometimes situation is not just under our control. We already knew that we had a long fight ahead of us...and we are just making sure that in the fight to get our love, so that we just don't lose each other because of somebody else.
    Eventually, everything will be fine. I am with you, my Princess. You trust me, don't you?"
   "More than myself, my Prince,"Rehan's expectant eyes glimmered in joy.
   "The wedding procedures are going to start in sometimes. I request the guests to take their respective seats,"the host, of the wedding announced...which both Azel and Rehan heard through the speaker.
   "Wait, here..I'm coming in a minute,"Rehan rushed out of the room...making Azel dumbfounded at his act.
  Getting back her composure, Azel shook her head as she headed towards her closet.
-------------
  "Close your eyes,"Rehan covered Azel's eyes with his left hand while he was holding a shopping bag in his right one.
   "But I want to see what's in the bag?"Azel whined once again...making Rehan to laugh.
   "You are such an impatient baby. You will get to see it...but give me a moment. I want to give it to you...hence I'm removing my hand over your eyes...but please don't cheat,"although Azel wanted to sneak a peek at the surprise before hand. But she didn't get the heart to do so hearing earnest request from him.
    She just nodded her head at him... letting him know that she would not cheat.
   He removed his hand over her eyes...and took out something from the bag. He made her wear it...before taking her in front of the mirror.
   "Now open your eyes,"Rehan kept his chin over her shoulder.
   She was too impatient to open her eyes...and so, it didn't take her a single moment to open them.
   She was just in aww...seeing her reflection in the mirror. Rehan brought a beautiful wedding veil with pearls and flowery works all over it. The crown that he made her wear was just complementing her look.
   She was looking adorably cute in her baby pink gown. Although it was not a wedding gown...nor the color of her veil and gown matched..but with her own charms, she was looking no less than a beautiful bride.
   "You're looking breathtaking, my Queen,"Rehan complimented her... while looking at her with mesmerized eyes.
    Azel blushed hearing his compliment.."You're looking adorable,"she also complimented him...shyly. Now it was time for Rehan to blush.
   He was looking handsome in his white shirt over which he wore a black blazer. His messy hair was falling over his forehead making him to look cute.
   "Thank you, my lady,"he hugged her from the back..as they both focused at their reflection as a couple. Through the mirror both of them were looking at each other. Their eyes held immeasurable, unfathomable and never ending love for each other.
While, a satisfied smile was etched on both of their lips...thinking about everything.
   "I request the bride and groom to take their respective positions,"the announcement of the priest broke the trance of the love birds who were waiting impatiently for this moment.
    They looked at each other once more before proceeding towards the vast window of Azel's bedroom...from where the whole wedding aisle was seen perfectly.
   They both stood in front of each other at one side of the window so that no one could see them from outside.
   "Can you please join your hands while facing each other?"The priest instructed Hrew and Tune who were getting married at the aisle...and here our AZAN couple also did as per the instructions.
    *(The wedding procedures that are taking place are actually going on the lawn for Hrew and Tune, who are Azel's brother and Sister-in-law. And in the room, Azel and Rehan are only following the instructions. So, now I'll only write about Azel and Rehan and their vows)*
    "There are no vows more meaningful and powerful than those which will be shared here today. Your wedding vows are a sacred declaration of your love for each other, the foundation of your relationship as a married couple, and the life you want to build together.
  The groom may start with his vows. now,"the priest announced and Rehan took a deep breath.
    "I, Rehan Tyler...take you, Azel Edward, as my lawfully wedded wife...to have and to hold....from this day onwards till the time I'm breathing...till death do us apart.
   I promise to love you till eternity...and to always protect you from every pain, every danger, every sorrow. I promise not to let you shed tears of pain ever.
    I promise to give you every happiness within my reach...and try my level best to give you all the happiness that's beyond my reach. I promise to always treasure you and your happiness as my most precious assets.
   I promise to stand by your side always...no matter what the situation is. I might not be a king...but I promise to treat you always like a queen...my Queen. For me, you will always be my  first and foremost priority. I promise to always respect you like my dad respects my mom.
    I promise to be the husband you always dreamt of having. I promise to stay loyal and honest with you throughout our life together. I promise that I will try my best not to let you down ever. I promise that my illness will never affect our relationship. I promise, if it'll be needed then I will forget the whole world just to remember only you, my Love.  I promise to love you when the sun shines, when the rain falls, in sickness, and in health,"Rehan took a deep breath...a breath of satisfaction after completing his vows...he wiped away her tears gently.
   "I just took a vow not to make you cry ever..soon to be Mrs. And look at you...you're already crying,"he pouted making a cute face.
   Azel couldn't help but giggle hearing him. Her eyes held only love for this man...who just professed how much he loves her without even saying 'I love you'.
    As soon as the groom finished taking his vows a series of loud applause flooded the whole environment.
With the died down sounds of applause, the priest once again proceeded for the rituals,"Now it's time for the bride to take her vows."
    This time Azel looked into Rehan's eyes deeply....where she could see love... incessant love for her.
   "I, Azel Edward, take you, Mr. Rehan Tyler, to be my lawfully wedded husband....to have and to hold...from this day onwards. 
   On this wonderful day, I give you my hand, my heart, and my word that I will be a loving and devoted wife.
   I promise to love you with all my heart...my soul...and every fibre of my body. I promise to always cherish you...not only as my husband, but my best friend, my soul mate, my love of life, my world...my entire universe.
  I promise to dream with you...and try every possible thing with you to fulfill each of those.
  I promise to celebrate with you all your achievements...your success...your happiness...your laughs...your smiles.
  I promise to always cheer you up whenever you will feel down...and I promise not to let the shadow of darkness to consume you ever.
    I promise to walk beside you in every sphere, through whatever life brings for us.
    I promise to laugh with you and comfort you during times of joy and times of sorrow.
   I promise to always pursue you just like the first time.
   I promise to fight for you and win those battles for you as well.
   I promise to love you unconditionally and wholeheartedly for the rest of my life. I promise to be your one and only...while you will be my one and only love.
  I promise not to change you ever...I don't want you to be perfect...because I love my this imperfectly perfect man.
   And I promise if in future, you forget me...then I'll keep reminding you about me, about us and our love every single day. I promise to not let anything affect us ever.
   I promise that the hand I'm holding right now...I am not going to leave this till the time I'm taking breath.
   I loved you in the past..I love you now and I'm going to love you even when we'll have our grandchildren's grandchildren. My love for you never changed in the past...nor it'll change ever,"Azel completed her vows with a sweet smile...making Rehan to smile through his tears as well.
    She wiped his tears...caressing his cheeks gently.
   "Do you Mrs. Tune Edward Collins, take Mr. Hrew Edward as your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day onward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love?"The priest asked Tune the question for which she replied with a I do.
    "I, Azel Edward, take you, Mr. Rehan Tyler, as my lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day onward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love"at that same time in the room, Azel uttered her last vow with a  confident smile.
   Rehan also smiled brightly hearing her.
   The priest now turned towards Hrew before asking him the same question when Rehan also took his last vow,"I, Rehan Tyler, take you, Ms. Azel Edward ,as my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day onward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love."
   As soon as Rehan finished saying his last vow a tear dropped down both of their eyes...in a sync. But the smile never faded from their lips at all.
"Now it's time for both of you to exchange your rings,"the priest announced.
   "Shit! We don't have rings,"Rehan facepalmed himself as they forget about the rings.
   "Who said that we don't have rings, Mr?"Azel asked before leaning towards Rehan...who stepped back a little out of sudden nervousness.
   Azel chuckled at his expressions when she grabbed ahold of the box kept in the table behind Rehan.
   "Here are they,"Azel opened the lid of the box when two beautiful customized rings came into view. The rings were not something extravagant or expensive. But both the rings were beautiful in their own ways.
   "When did you buy these? How did you get them here in such a short time?"Rehan asked being surprised.
   "It was a surprise from my side...which I had thought of giving you on our wedding day...just like you had plans regarding the veil and crown,"Azel's words made him smile widely...as they both exchanged their wedding rings.
    Both the rings were looking beautiful in their fingers. The couple ring was just another proof of the fact that these two human beings now belonged to one another.
   "With all the power GOD has vested in me, I now, pronounce both of you as husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride,"the priest announced at last...hootings and cheerings filled the whole environment.
    Rehan smiled brightly hearing the priest...while Azel closed her eyes both in nervousness and shyness.
   Rehan came closer to her...so close that his breath was falling on her face. While her breath was caressing his cheeks.
   Both were blushing hard due to their close proximity. Rehan cupped hed face, caressing her cheeks with adoration. Azel clutched onto her dress in too much nervousness...as her breathing became heavier.
    Rehan looked at his Love...who was now his wife. This only thought was enough for making his heart to jump in ecstasy.
   He was mesmerized looking at her with love, adoration and every other emotion that's in the dictionary to describe 'Love'. After looking at her with his heart's content, he placed a soft kiss on her forehead.
   She slowly opened her eyes at his sweet action. Astonishment was clearly seen in her blue orbs.
   "I will never do anything that has the slightest chance to make you uncomfortable ever, Wild cat. For me, your comfort is everything.
   No doubt, we got married...but nothing will change in between us till the day I can announce you as my wife publically."
   Hearing him, her respect for him only increased. She thanked GOD a million times for sending an angel like him to her.
   "I love you, Lunatic,"Azel hugged him tightly.
   "I love you too, Wild cat,"Rehan wrapped his arms around her...securing her in his arms.
   "But I'll kiss you there*(indicating her lips)*when we will get married in front of our everyone,"Rehan said with a teasing tone...making her to blush harder.
   Azel slapped him on his arms lightly while hiding her red face in his chest,"You're such a pervert man."
   "But now you're trapped with this pervert man, madam,"he continued teasing her..while giggling looking at her cute reactions.
