Guilty Pleasure

Page 116

I walk down the stone path to our wedding sight where Tomo waits to give me away. David sends the twins down the isle, they see their daddy and smile big. Emma and Nessa go next followed by Julie. I make my way to Tomo and wait for David's queue T:"You look beautiful Sweetie" Me:"Thank you Hun and thank you for giving me away" T:"My pleasure, happy to do it" we get our queue from David and begin to walk, we reach the foot of the isle and the guests rise. Jared catches sight of me and his breath catches as does mine, he's even more beautiful than the day we met. As I reach him I see tears of joy in his eyes. J:"You look so beautiful Angel" Me:"So do you" after a short sermon we exchange vows Me:"I remember a time when I though that love and happily ever afters were not meant for me, the day I found you my world changed for the better, the day we met I knew I found a home for my heart. You've given me love and joy beyond my wildest expectations, I love you so much Jared. My heart, my body, my soul I give to you" J:"Before I met you I'd forgotten how to love, given up on it really. The day we met you took my breath away, you gave my life meaning, my heart and soul a place to call home. I no longer feel alone because you've made my life complete. All that I am today is because of you, my heart, my body, my soul I give to you"

Even our weddings bands are a sweet surprise, it is because of the band that we met so he had the glyphs he designed engraved on the inside of our bands. We each kiss our sweet little ring bearer, whose looking more and more like Jared every day, before exchanging rings. After a few more words we are officially declared husband and wife Priest:"By the powers vested in me and the laws of the state of California I know pronounce you man and wife, Jared you may kiss your bride" he lifts the veil from my face, looks at me sweetly and mouths I love you as do I before tenderly taking my lips. Our friends and family cheer as we seal our vows, we walk down the isle as husband and wife under a shower of rose petals . After all of the congratulations, hugs and kisses from family and friends we head to the beach for pictures where our wedding party and family get to join in the fun. The twins love the beach so it was hard at first to get them to hold still but once Aiden joined the fun they were perfect little angels.

Our reception was amazing everyone had so much fun, the boys even did an impromptu mini acoustic show which our guest love. At one point Shannon and Julie disappear for a bit and at first my mind goes straight into the gutter, kind of hard not to with those two, but they prove me wrong when Julie shows off her beautiful engagement ring. I'm so happy for her she deserves to be happy, seeing the joy Shannon and Aiden bring to her make my heart happy. After the cake is cut and the bouquet is tossed, which coincidentally Julie catches and yes Shannon catches the garter, we slip away from the crowd for a quiet walk along the beach. He pulls me in his arms and holds me close J:"I love you Mrs. Leto" Me:"I love you more Mr.Leto, I can't believe you're finally my husband" J:"And I can't believe you're finally my wife" Me:"Next to the day our twins were born this is the happiest day of my life" J:"I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you" I take his lips Me:"Neither can I" we stay on the beach a little longer stealing kisses and dancing on the sand. He pulls out his phone and takes s selfie, I swear sometimes I think that phone is surgically attached to his hands.

We rejoin the party just in time for Shannon's toast S:"Can I have your attention please...... I know this is my little brother's wedding and not a press junket for our band but I think nothing captures this moment better than the lyrics Jared wrote for City Of Angels bought my fate straight from hell second sight has paid off well for a brother, a mother and me..... truth is, it has. There was a time when we both believed that happiness was not for us, that love was something that could not exist in our world but fate has proved us wrong. Today my little brother has taken my beautiful sister-in-law for his wife. And it is thanks to her that I found the love of my life in Julie. I am truly grateful for the blessing of these two beautiful women and more so for the beautiful little souls they have bought into our lives. Tonight we celebrate, tonight I raise my glass to fate, to dreams coming true, to love, to Jared and Nina may you always know love, peace and happiness, I love you both" we both mouth our I love you's to Shannon and we clink or glasses and toast.
