The Priest clears his throat, "Well, don't we all love a bit of sentimental drama at a wedding."

Everyone laughs as the Priest lightens the situation.

"Please, let's continue. Zodiac Ash Coles, please say your vows."

Ash nods, takes Aleeya's bouquet from her and signals for Lina. She runs up to them and takes the bouquet from Ash.

He then gently holds Aleeya's hands and looks into her eyes.

"Aleeya Kingsman, my love. I know we've known each other for a short time, but if I were given a chance, I'd do this again. I never really realized what love was until I met you, even though you almost fought me the first time we met, daring me to touch you again without your permission."

The guests laugh.

"Somehow after that day, I couldn't stop thinking about you, until I met you at that uh... " He looks around "Club."
He whispers, making everyone laugh.

"I know that the first time we really spent time together, something bad happened with your mom. I don't wanna sound heartless and I say I'm kinda glad it but... I'm not sure if we would've connected more deeper if something hadn't happened. Those weeks I spent with you and your family and friends made me realize that I don't wanna be away from you Alee. I found a home in you and your family but more importantly, I found love. I love you Aleeya Kingsman, forever and always."

Ash completes his vows, leaving tears flowing from Aleeya's eyes. He gently wipes them off and smiles.

"It's okay."

The Priest once again clears his throat, "Love lives, beloved. Aleeya Kingsman, you may now say your vows."

Aleeya nods, calming herself then looking at the guests. She meets her mom's eye and she smiles, she looks at Vinad and he nods, finally at Lina who cheers silently.

She smiles then turns back to Ash, taking a deep breath.

"You're right. We've known each other for such little time, I didn't think we'd be standing here today. I've loved before, immensely and it broke me. I vowed to never love again until I met you, but then again, someone once told me that, it's not my fault that I have too much love to give."

Aleeya looks at Farah and they share an adoration moment.

"I didn't realize when or how I fell in love with you Ash, all I knew was, every time you were near me I would see sparkles"

Ash laughs.

"When a day passed without talking to you, I would feel like something was left incomplete. You supported me and my family through difficulty, you were there Ash, and I'll never forget that. I... I don't deserve you Zodiac."

Tears stream down her cheeks watching Ash shake his head.

"You're a good person, an amazing human being. You do not deserve havoc. I'm not perfect Ash, and I'm not gonna promise to be. I make mistakes and I'm gonna keep making, so please correct me gently."

Ash nods with a smile.

"Our love is gonna be a difficult, challenging one, but if you promise to support me, I promise to support you. Till death do us apart, I love you Zodiac Ash Coles, forever and always."

She completes her vows with a beautiful wide smile. Ash wipes a tear from his eye and nods repeatedly.

"That was beautiful." The Priest exhales.

"They have already exchanged rings, now I shall ask, rightfully. Do you, Zodiac Ash Coles take Aleeya Kingsman? To be your lawfully wedding wife, to love and to hold, poor or rich, in sickness and in health, till death do you part?"

Ash lovingly looks at Aleeya and nods, "I do Priest, I take her as my wife."

Aleeya grins.

"Now do you, Aleeya Kingsman take Zodiac Ash Coles? To be your lawfully wedded husband, to love and to hold, poor or rich, in sickness and in health, till death do you part?"

Aleeya once again looks at her mother then back at Ash.

"I do. I, Aleeya Kingsman, daughter of Nevada Kingsman, take you Zodiac Ash Coles, to be my husband."

Ash proudly smiles.

"Well, with the power vested in me, I now pronounce you, Mr and Mrs Coles, husband and wife, you may kiss your bride."

Ash smiles, wraps her arm around Aleeya's waist, pulls her closers and kisses her ever so passionately.

The guests stand clapping and cheering.

"Enough please, we're hungry now." The guests laugh at the Priest's drama.

Ash and Aleeya stop, look at each and smile.

"Please everyone, Ms Farah will show you to the reception." Ash points at Farah.

He then takes Aleeya's hand. "Let's go change."

Aleeya nods with a smile, they walk out hand in hand, passing cheering guests.
