The service wasn't a long one and wasn't a religious one either. It all when by quiet fast... until the vows.
"Will you have this woman to be your wife, to live together in holy marriage? Will you love her, comfort her, honor, and keep her in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others, be faithful to her as long as you both shall live?" The priest asks Tim
"I do." he says smiling and pushing the ring on my finger. I stare into his eyes.
Then the priest turns to me and says "Will you have this man to be your husband, to live together in holy marriage? Will you love him, comfort him, honor, and keep him in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others, be faithful to him as long as you both shall live?"
I reply with tears in my eyes, a smile on my face and staring into Tim eyes "I do." And I slide the ring on his finger
"Well, to the witness of everyone here, I now pronounce you Husband and Wife. you may now kiss the bride." says the priest.
We kiss for as long as we feel is right. A massive cheer arises as we do. He holds out his hand, like that day on the bench and I place mine in it. We walk down the aisle as husband and wife. I'm so happy, my entire life flashes before me. When I first met him, our first hug, the pain of loosing him etc and I smile. The carriage is waiting for me and Tim and we climb in. just as we sit down I hug him tighter than I ever have before.
"We did it babe, we did it. from the first day we met when we were four and five all those fourteen years ago. to now, we did it." I say to him.
"Yes we did princess, yes we did." he answers and hugs me back, tighter than ever.
