Rafe Cameron Imagines

marriage ~ headcannon

- it would be the best decision of your life

- you and rafe had been dating for 3 and a half years before he popped the magical question

- he had done it at Midsummers, in front of his entire family and basically the whole of Figure Eight

- the ring he had bought you had taken your breath away, fitting on your finger so beautifully like it was made just for you

- when you told your parents, they were absolutely over the moon

- they had also got married young, so they didn't judge you for moving too fast

- plus, they absolutely adored the living hell out of Rafe, supporting him through his recovery like he was their own son

- the conversation about your engagement with his family, though, didn't go as well as the one with yours

- well, at least not entirely

- Rose and Wheezie were very excited when they found out, thinking that this would be the thing to finally make Rafe settle down and be the man of his own house

- even though Rose and Rafe often didn't see eye to eye, she couldn't deny the very positive effect that you had over her stepson

- Sarah quite simply just didn't care, she wanted nothing to do with any of you, especially not her brother

- despite the fact that you and Sarah had been best friends when you first started dating Rafe, she began distancing herself from you and the rest of her family when she started hanging out with John B and the Pogues

- Ward, however, didn't want to believe that it was true in the beginning. he wouldn't accept the fact that his son was starting to make a family of his own, that he wouldn't be at his beck and call every second of the day anymore

- none of their opinions mattered to you or Rafe

- you both felt that getting engaged was the right move for the both of you, for starting to build the future that you have always talked about together

- you started planning the wedding right away with the help of Rose and Wheezie

- after lengthy conversations between Rose and Ward, the latter had finally come to terms with the engagement and agreed to let the two of you host the wedding party at Tannyhill

- Rafe didn't want to intrude on the planning, trusting that you would take care of it and plan the wedding of your dreams and he didn't want to be in the way

- before the day of the wedding, Rose and Wheezie kept you away from Rafe the entire night, Topper and Kelce doing the same with Rafe

- it was hell for the both of you, neither liking being away from the other, especially before such an important day

- on the morning, though, the nerves were almost paralyzing

- Wheezie had helped Rose do your hair and your mother helped with your make-up, transforming you in the most beautiful bride they had ever seen, as per their quotes

- once you also put on your wedding dress and finally saw yourself in the mirror, tears had welled up in your eyes, as well as the other women's in your life

- your mother was especially emotional when she saw you ready to get married

- once it was finally time for your father to walk you down the aisle, your mind was going into overdrive, dozens of thoughts hitting you all at once

- however, once you stepped out into the garden and locked eyes with Rafe, the entire world seemed to fade away

- tears had started welling up in Rafe's eyes as he watched you slowly walk towards him, his smile imprinted on his face

- as soon as you reached him and your father gave you away, you couldn't tear your eyes off of him

- the ceremony and the party were a dream, you were with the people you loved most and you were finally married to the love of your life

- you spent your honeymoon in the Maldives, the 2 weeks you were there being the most relaxing and fun you'd had in a while

- domestic bliss had really set in when you got back

- having moved to your own place, living with each other had been everything you had hoped for and more

- attending events was a particularly fun thing for the both of you, getting the opportunity to call each other "husband" and "wife" 

- you would have sex every single day, not being able to resist each other 

- in the morning, in the afternoon, at night, at the club, in restaurants, it didn't matter where you guys were. you did it everywhere

- after 2-3 years of being married, you would find out that you were expecting your first child, which made you both fall in love with each other a thousands times over again

- all in all, being married to Rafe was the best thing to ever happen to you

- the love you two shared having conquered every obstacle thrown your way
