We Fell In Love In October - Wintumn Flufftober

Love Letters

A/N - Got behind again cause the spoilers from the ball put me out of commission for two and a half days. Finally stopped screaming so we will get back on track. Flufftober may not stay just in October though...

Neither Winter or Autumn could really believe that it was happening; the weekend all came together so fast. After their impromptu engagement it took them mere hours to have an entire wedding planned for the next day. Even though their ceremony was going to be extremely private; just them, the officiant, and a few musicians; they decided to keep their vows simple. They weren't the couple to make grand declarations of love when anyone else could hear, so even though the only attendees didn't know them at all, they still wanted to keep their written vows private.

So instead they wrote each other letters. They set aside a little time before the wedding that they could spend pouring over the words they wanted to share with each other. Both of them wrote as fast as possible so they could get back to basking in the joy they felt that weekend, but the letters were anything but rushed.

Their short, candlelit ceremony was everything the couple had been dreaming of; a moment that belonged to them and them alone. Just like the rest of their relationship. Winter let a couple of tears fall as he took in his bride's beauty. Autumn didn't even try to conceal her beaming smile as she rushed down the aisle to rejoin her groom. Their love was undeniable.

After the officiant pronounced them husband and wife they made their way to a small clearing surrounded by the same wildflowers Autumn had picked for her bouquet. They had set up candles earlier to quarter off a makeshift dance floor where they were able to share their first dance, one of the few traditions neither of them was willing to skip. They swayed together as the orchestral music surrounded them, sharing passionate kisses as they celebrated their life together. As the music began to change they exchanged they moved to the small seating area they set up for this moment. There they sat, hands intertwined, as they read the words their partner had so lovingly crafted for them. The vows they made only deepening with each line.

My Love:

We both know I would be lying if I said that I always knew we'd end up here. Looking back, though, I should have known. From the second I laid eyes on you all of my thoughts revolved around you. Admittedly most of those thoughts were negative; but still they were all of you. You embedded yourself into my brain, it was only a matter of time before you captured my heart and my soul. There are not enough words in any language for me to express how completely and utterly in love with you I am, but that doesn't mean I can't try.

Life with you, Autumn, is nothing short of a dream. A dream I am so thankful to never be without. When I close my eyes my head is flooded with images of you that become reality the second I wake up. I dream of your eyes, you striking blue eyes that I never fail to get lost in. Your smile. A smile that brings me hope even in my darkest hours because I know they are just for me. And your laugh; a sound that rivals even the most beautiful music ever written. The sound that I want to hear every minute of every day; that I would do anything to cause. Every bit of you is perfect; crafted to perfection; and I feel so lucky to not only be able to gaze upon you but to hold you, to touch you, to call you mine.

An angel, a goddess amongst men who has somehow deemed me of all people deserving of her affections. You made me believe in love again; made me believe in myself again. You are the one for whom the depth of devotion knows no bounds, who I have sworn forever to worship not just because of your beauty but also your strength, your power, your resilience, your grace. From this day forward I promise to prove myself worthy of my spot next to you; to hold your heart with such care; to love you the way you deserve.

It will always be my biggest regret that I didn't find you sooner, but I have to trust the universe knew what it was doing. It brought us together when we were ready. And now as I stand with you on the brink of forever I vow to love you how you always should have been loved. A task so easy to fulfill. A job I truly love.

I love you, Autumn Fortune-Knight, and I always will.

My sweet:

I never believed in soul mates. I never believed in destiny. I never believed in true love. And I never believed that one day I would meet a man who could change my beliefs so quickly.

You came into my life when I thought I was at my lowest and stayed with me when I somehow fell farther. I cannot even count the number of times that you have collected the shattered pieces of my heart, a heart you've never once even chipped, and put them back together. Somehow, every time, you make that heart stronger; more complete than it's maybe ever been because you take the time to find each and every missing piece and to mend them with your kindness, your kind words, your gentle kisses, your endless love.

For years I heard stories about "the one," a person that you just knew you couldn't live without. That you needed; that made you life worth living. I never believed a word of it until I met you. Winter you are my one. You are the one I want to wake up to every morning, the one I want beside me through all of life's trials because you are the one that makes me better. You are the reason I get up in the morning; the love that we share is what gets me through each day.

Today I promise you my forever but that simply isn't enough for me. I want you beside me in this lifetime and every lifetime after. "Till Death Do Us Part" would never have worked for us; because even in death I promise to find you again. To stay by your side for eternity because without you my soul would never be complete; my spirit never truly at peace. Because you, Winter, are my soul. You are my peace.

Winter you are the greatest Fortune I have ever known. My Knight in shining armor. And I promise to spend the rest of my life loving you with every fiber of my being because I have to. I need to. I need you. My one. My soulmate. My destiny. My true love.

I love you Winter; I am yours until the end of eternity.
