One Month

Reception

Marco's POV

"You may now kiss the groom" Levi announced as we finished our vows. I smiled excitedly before pulling Jean into a passionate kiss. He cupped my face and kissed me back with only love in his eyes. We both held eye contact for a second before closing our eyes and pulling each other closer.

When we finally broke apart Connie decided to shout. "Get a room you two!"

"That's the plan for tonight!" Jean laughed and yelled back, causing everyone else to laugh in response.

We went to the reception and smiled at each other as Eren took the mic "alright everyone! Let's have the first dance be for our happy husbands! Mr and Mr. Kirstein!" He yelled as everyone clapped and we went onto the dance floor. Soon we were joined by Eren and Mikasa together and Sasha and Niccolo together. Everyone else was talking and watching us or getting drunk.

After a couple dances we sat down and Connie took the stage "well I guess it's time for the best groomsman speech! So here I go. Jean, my best friend, I'll always be there for you. When you met Marco I immediately knew that we'd end up here. And I'm not sure how you managed to get such a sweet guy but you did. And I'm proud. You're the best friend a guy could ask for and I'm so happy to have you. If you ever need anything then just tell me. I'll be there for you forever." He said in an uncharacteristically serious voice. He was starting to cry and so was Jean. He finished with one last sentence "thank you for being such a good friend. And I hope that one day I can repay you for everything you've done for me."

Everyone clapped and a couple of people were even crying a bit. Armin took the stage next and smiled a bit "hi...um...so I know that I'm not your best friend, Marco, but I'm honored to be chosen as your best man. And I'm happy we could stand here today for you and Jean. If anyone deserves happiness, it's you. You're the sweetest person I've ever known and you care so much about everyone. How we all got so lucky as to have you as a friend is a miracle. I hope you have the happiest life with Jean." The blonde smiled sadly and almost everyone was crying by now. We all clapped for him and I walked over and hugged him.

After the speeches we all ate cake and drank and danced until it was time for Jean and I to head off for our honeymoon. It would only be a couple days but it was going to be perfect. We wished everyone a farewell before going to the beach house we rented an hour away.
