Keira's POV
"Kei... this moment still feels unbelievable to me. From the moment I first met, I knew you would be the one. You have slipped through my fingers one too many times and while being ripped apart from you was painful, it gave me reason to fight harder to get you back. You stir in me a need to be better because you are my light, mostly my conscience." The guests burst out laughing. I continued to get lost in his eyes. Today, they are at their softest. "You are my joy. You are my hope. You are the very rhythm to my heart and I never want to live another second without you. On this day, in front of our family and friends, I promise to love you deeper and forever. I promise to protect you and to care for you through thick and thin. I promise you my heart."

"Nickolas, in every lifetime, it will always be you. Our dates are tied together just like our hearts are bound in love. From this moment on, I promise to stand by you and to stick with you. I will always be your ally, your best friend... no offense Bruce." I heard him laugh his heart out. "...but most importantly, your soul mate eternally. Even if the world is falling apart around us, I will always love you."

We received our rings. He held mine and slipped it through my finger. "Keira, please accept this ring as an assurance that I vow my life, I promise my love and my loyalty until the very end."

"Nickolas, please accept this ring as a promise to have my loyalty, my love and my heart."

I fit the ring through his finger and we shared a kiss to surmise our marriage. We took our time, the guests applauding as our ambience. When he pulled away, he smiled against my lips.

"My wife."

"My husband." I chuckled as we faced our guests.

Pink and red rose petals fell from above us. Our Grecian wedding is a stunner. Helena outdid herself!

"Mrs Bale," He smiled at me. "I'm not letting you go, ever."

"I don't expect it."

Nick's POV
"Hey hey!" I clapped my hands for everyone to settle down.

The reception ended about an hour ago. The rest of us, a smaller group, gathered at my mom's house. This is the place I first made love to Kei. Tonight, it's a full circle. It was certainly meant to be.

"I wish Gio was here. I wish Alexander was here as well. Along the way we have lost people dear to us. While they. Wy not be here to share our joy, we still remember them because of what they wished our lives to be. Kei, you can't begin to imagine what you've given me. Your not just the mother to my children. You are my sanity. There's no safer space than next you and I cannot wait to have that for the rest of my life. I remember I started this wedding thing when I married my first wife. Now it's full circle, I close the chapter on our generation. It's my strongest wish that all of you, as you are paired up stay so. We all deserve eternity with our soulmates. I want to thank all of you for keeping me together when I was falling apart. I want to thank you for your loyal friendship. Truly, there's no better circle than this one and I want to toast to our lasting friendship."

"Daddy that better not be alcohol!" Madeline called out, sending everyone into laughter.

"It's grape juice!" I called out.

"Carry on then!"

"Cheers." I told them.

"Cheers." They echoed in response.

A/n: I'll see you guys in the fourth generation!

Thank you for reading this far.

Lots of love.
