One year later.

Looking into the mirror I could hardly recognize myself. I looked like a princess. My hair wrapped around my head like a crown, my dress out of the fairytales. I am about to be Ms. Grey, former Mrs. Summers.
''Sweetie, it's time.'' mom whispered with tears
in her eyes. I took her hand, and started walking to my future, to our future. I took a big breath before stepping down the aisle decorated with roses. Cold air filling my lungs as I took the first step to forever. Everyone was standing, looking at me. But all I saw was him, standing with tears streaming down his face. Looking as handsome as ever, I knew from the day I saw him that he is my forever.

I took my place in front of him, wiping the tears from my and his checks. I could hardly hear what the priest was saying, who could not get captivated in those piercing green eyes? ''Now you may share your vows.'' the priest said with a smile on his lips. I was up, and never did I think it would be this hard to put my love for him to words.

''There are no words to say how much I love you, there will never be words that can carry the weight of my love for you. Words will never be enough, nor time. I Have no words; I carry too little of them. And I have little to give, but I give you now. Tomorrow and forever.''

''Dawn, I have been broken. Over and over, I've been at the bottom losing sense of all reality. But from the moment I set my eyes on you, I've felt a little less lost. Like I had found home, and little did I know back then that I had. I had found the home and comfort I had been searching for in you. In a short red-haired woman with a
smoking addiction and a great love for fixing what others broken. My heart has ached, my hands have shaken. My visions blurry but looking at you my hearts at peace. My hands warm and my eyes clear. You are my light when I can't see, you're the warmth in the cold nights. You give me forever, and I give you forever and beyond. I
give you me, the broken and the whole. And I take you, flawed and all. Take my heart and do with it as you wish, I am yours. Truly.''

Tears was streaming down my face, and I couldn't have cared less about my face melting away. This man right in front of me, truly loves me as I do him.

''I do.'' He whispered with a smile shaped by the gods,

''I do.'' And before the priest could say another word, I was all over him. Kissing him like there were not tomorrow.

''Well, I now precent to you Mr. And Ms. Grey."
