* ELENA*
"Mr Mikaelson....Do you take Miss Gilbert....to be your lawfully wedded wife, to share your life openly, standing with her in sickness and in health, in joy and in sorrow, in hardship and in ease, to cherish and love forever more?"
"I.... Elijah Mikaelson....take you, Miss Elena Gilbert to be my lawfully wedded wife....in the name of God and here in front of everyone...I promise....I will love, honor, and cherish you always. I will love you in sickness as in health, in poverty as in wealth, in sorrow as in joy, and will be true to you by God's grace, trusting in him, so long as we both shall live. I promise to love you above all others and to value you in my life as a precious gift. I will fight with you and for you. I will always strive to be patient, kind, curious, and open to the challenges we face together."
the beautifully decorated banquet hall echoed with his deep voice reciting the wedding vows. Standing in front of me...in a well crafted formal attire and a smile that can make anyone smitten on him.....was my husband. the most eligible bachelor of Louisiana. Heavenly handsome, Charming, kind, heir of one of the biggest diamond businesses of America, master in almost everything. Dream husband of every girl.
Most importantly....Truly happy in this wedding. Unlike the girl, he got married.
When He finished his paragraph and his eyes met mine....Those deep brown eyes shining with pure love and joy. My lips trembled a little....when i realised it was now my turn to make promises. Promises....I could never keep or fulfill.
''And you Miss Gilbert??? Do you take Mr Mikaelson to be your lawfully wedded husband and accept this young man's lifelong devotion and love towards you and promise to do the same???"
After a unnoticeable pause for a moment...I replied with a sweet smile.
"I...Elena Gilbert....take you....Mr Elijah Mikaelson....to be my lawfully wedded husband.....to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish always. In the name of almighty...I promise to stay faithful and be a devoted partner to you and to our marriage."
A huge smile appeared on his handsome face....his eyes shining with love. I tried to mirror his happiness but failed miserably.
"Ok...By the power vested in me by God and man, I now pronounce you wife and husband. You may now kiss the bride!!!"
The priest declared. He took a step towards me....not breaking eye contact even for a moment. I tried my best not to take a step back and kept standing in my place... preparing myself to continue my act. He gently put his strong arms around my waist and slowly pulled me closer to him...making it impossible to look anywhere else. My heart skipped a beat....when my husband brought his lips closer to me and before kissing...he smiled lovingly at me and murmured.
"Thank you for making me the luckiest man on this earth, Elena. Thank you for choosing me as your life partner...you may not be the first girl I loved....but I promise you're going to be the last!!! From this moment....everything that I possess...belongs to you. my heart, my life, my affection....everything is yours now. Yours to keep and yours to cherish. I love you Mrs Elena Gilbert Mikaelson and I promise to love you till my last breath.!!!!"
And then...he kissed me slowly...gently...in front of our family members and thousands of other guests...savoring the moment, almost like he dreamed it all of his life. Almost like he yearned to live this moment from the beginning.
almost like he was already in love with me... even without knowing whether the girl he got married to, return his feelings or not.
Whether she deserved it or not.
