are gathered here to witness the joining of these two people in holly matrimony." The priest began as the music stopped. ".if there is anyone who has reasons why they should not be married, speak now or forever hold your peace " he went on and after a moment of silence, signalled for the rings. "Now repeat after me..."

Which is why I always tell you that I will always be there for you... especially when you can't forget..I love you " he said and reached out to wipe her teary cheek. "Tom, my entire life I've been scared. Scared to move,change and love.

To love and protect. To cherish and to trust . In sickness and in health till death do us part" the preist said and let the two repeat after him. Tom placed the wedding ring on Chloe's finger the Chloe did the same then they both looked at each other and back at the priest. "By the power vested in me , I now pronounce you.. husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride" he announced as Tom pulled Chloe closer to him and kissed her.
