Mags was our efficient, so safe to say both me and Finnick had prepared our own vows. Apparently Finnick hadn't gotten the information that I would be wearing makeup, because his lovely heartfull vows nearly brought me to tears several times. But I would take revenge.
"Finnick, you are the light in my darkness, and believe me ther's a lot! I've never been happier than I am right now, here with you, the love of my life<3."
He smiled at me, and I was almost sure I could see small tears forming. "You are the yaha to my naha!"
Finick looked down at the ground and his smile widend, but what shocked me was the laughter that escaped Mags.
"I'll love you till death do us part and beyond, so I guess what I'm trying to say is, Finnick Odair, I'll take you as my husband, for now and forever, in sickness and in healt, till death do us part ."
A tear rolled down his cheek, I had won!
Even though it was obviously no a competition, and when, to the days honor, he place his ring on my finger, and I put mine on his, the same as his parents had done, a tear rolled off my cheek.
We didn't have a net, no songs nor dance, no such traditions as I always expected, but we did one thing right.
When the rings were in place and we sealed the vows with a kiss, Mags stepped to the side, and with our hands intertwined we ran to the edge of the dock, and jumped. We jumped as one, as one force, forever together with the help of the sea, our love would last as long as water existed, grow in thanks with sea and waves, and at our death, our love, like us, would be reunited, in the sea.
So when we reached the surface, with nothing more to do we swam to shore. Once up we were met with hugs and congratulations from our friends, it wasn't much, but it was enough, and afterwards we enjoyed an extravagant wedding dinner, crackers, fruit and cheeses, all packed with care and love by Annie and Mags. But then, when I thought we were done and soon had to go home, then almost out of nowhere, Melinada handed me someone wrapped in a handkerchief.
"Open it."
"What is it, a wedding present? You shouldn't have!"
"Ohhh Lizzy you always have questions!! Just open it up and find out!!"
I heard that she wasn't angry, on the contrary, it sounded like she almost couldn't hold back her laughter. So, just as she ordered, I began to carefully unfold the handkerchief to see what it contained.
"Oh Melinda you souldn't have!!" "Well, it's not a buttercream cake, but I thought it might do."
"It's amazing!! But how did you know??"
"We used to just talk about it kind of all the time before…."
She interrupted herself, but I knew what she was going to say, we all knew what she was going to say. Before the games. But I didn't care now, the games had no place on such a happy day as this, the only thing that mattered was that Melinda had remembered, she had remembered, all the times I said I would have a buttercream cake at my wedding, I had completely forgotten, but despite everything, Melinda had done her best and now I was sitting here, on a beach, with a piece of sponge cake in my lap meant for me and my husband.
"Oh Melinda I could just kiss you!!!" "No you couldn't!!"
Finnick reacted immediately, but I could see the glint of laughter in his eyes, which in turn gave me no pangs of conscience as I said.
"Ohh shut up and eat some cake!!" And proceeded to put a piece in his mouth when he opened it, probably to say something. In return, he did the same to me, leaving our friend group just laughed.
And that was it. Me and Finnick could officially unofficially call ourselves married. The wedding, the bath and the cake all done, all the boxes checked, and I couldn't have been happier.
Finnick Odair was now and always mine, only mine, and I was his. I like to think that life takes, but also that it gives.
Now, life hasn't always been fair, I've honestly been through some shit, but right now in this moment, this was a moment that was given. The kind of moment that you hold in your heart forever and cherish until that day you die, something to look back on in difficult moments, something I might need in the future.
The only thing that could have made this moment even better, would have been if my family could have atended, but alas, that would never happen.
On this day, Finnick Odair, along with co, have made me the happiest woman in the world. For now and forever I will love that man, and he me.
With a simple sermon we immortalized our love, and now, officially and unofficially, I can call myself Elizabeth Odair-Whitmore.
No one but me, and Finnick, will ever know this name, it will never again be set down in writing, but now, now those who are most important know about it. Me and him, no one else.
Even thoug I would have loved to shout it out to the world, and to my famil, but somethingare just not meant to be. But unlike that, our love will be, forever be, immortalized in this book.
And if the capital or the President ever finds out, confuses and twists my words against me, then my prof stands here, pure and true. Forever.
