Cardigan

Chapter Forty-Four

Third POV

Charles stood there rocking back and forth as the music started to play he watched as Kika walked down the aisle, a massive smile on her face. Pierre squeezed his shoulders to calm him down.

Arthur smiled as he looked at Elle. All he could think about was how he got lucky with her becoming his best friend, but now she's also becoming his sister he always classed her as one, but now it was official.

Elle took Arthur's arm that he held out.

"Are you ready?" He asks.

"I'm more than ready," he smiled at her as the music changed, and it was finally time for her to walk down the aisle.

Charles headed to the door as it opened, and he saw her step out arm in arm with Arthur. Tears filled his eyes as he looked at his beautiful bride. He couldn't remember if she told him that Arthur would be the one giving her away, but he couldn't think of a better person to do it. Carlos handed him a tissue, which he took, wiping his eyes as she finally stepped in front of him.

"She's all yours," Arthur says, taking his place beside Charles.

Charles took elles' hands in his and looked down at her, both their smiles growing.

"You look beautiful," he says as she wiped his tears away, and he did the same to her.

"You look handsome," she smiled. The priest began as everyone took their seats.

It was finally time for them to say their vows. Charles hands shock as he took out the piece of paper he wanted to say everything that was on his mind, so he needed to write it down so he didn't miss anything off.

"Here's goes nothing," he starts. "I didn't think we'd make it here standing in front of everyone we love mainly because I was too scared to admit my feelings to you all those years ago. I couldn't imagine spending the rest of my life with anyone else you have pushed me to be a better version of myself. I've never known love like this, where I physically can't be away from you for too long and in our jobs that happens often. I promise to protect you and love you for the rest of my life. I couldn't imagine my life without you." He says it was now Elles' turn, and she didn't have it written down she knew what she wanted to say it was all from her heart.

"I've been dreaming of this day for as long as I can remember. I fell in love with you as soon as we met everything you did made me fall deeper, but time wasn't in our favour back then I started to think we would never end up together like I always dreamed but here we are standing in front of each other sealing our future. You've helped me through so many hard times in my life that you didn't run when things got hard. You drew stars around my scars, and I'm grateful for that. If I didn't have you by my side, I wouldn't have pulled through so many of those hard times. I've never loved someone as much as I love you, and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you," they both smile at each other.

"I know, pronounce you, Mr and Mrs Leclerc, you may kiss your bride,' Charles didn't wait another second before dipping her, placing a kiss onto her lips everyone clapped as the two embraced each other tears rolling down their cheeks in happiness.

Charles pulls her back up as everyone makes their way inside for the reception. Pascale had set everything up, and it was perfect.

Everyone finally got seated, but Elle and Charles had one more suprise for them.

"Before we eat, I just wanted to say something," he then held his hand for Elle, which she took, standing up. "we wanted to say something,"

"We first wanted to thank everyone for coming and for Kika and Pascale for making this day happen,' Elle speaks.

"We also wanted to thank Arthur for accepting us as a couple we wouldn't be here today if he didn't," Charles says "and I also want to thank my beautiful wife for giving me child that due May 2025," everyone gasps before cheering.

"Holy shit your going to be parents," Lando speaks.

"You'll make perfect parents we've seen with P," Kelly says. Max agrees with his girlfriend

Everyone hugs to two as they all sit down, ready to eat.

"How do you feel," Charles asks.

"Happy," she smiled at him. "I love you, Mr Leclerc," his smile widened

"I love you, Mrs Leclerc," he took her hands. I'm his taking in this moment the two of them were truly happy.
