Chapter 83

Chapter 83------------------------------------------------------------------------Luke wrung his hands nervously as he stood at the front of the isle. Everyone was placed in their seats staring up at him with reassuring smiles. He loosened his tie a tad at the neck where he felt it start constricting.

"calm down boyo, they havent even started the music yet" his father said in an amused voice slapping him on the back.

At about that time the traditional wedding march came through the old church speakers. Luke's heart started to pound and his palms sweat. His mother and Kate smiled affectionately at him as they both opened up the church doors.

The sight in front of him made his breath catch.

There was his Alex... She was beautiful. He wasn't looking at her gown or her hair or even her make up. The look in her eyes was utterly breathtaking. She looked so... Sure. So sure she was making the right choice in walking toward him. Her smile looked like the weight of the world had finally been lifted off her shoulders. She moved closer to him with ease and grace. When she finally got got to him she gave a small giggle and tapped his chin. That's when he realized he'd been standing there with his mouth gaping open the whole time. He cleared his throat and gave her a sheepish smile. When they both turned to the pasture they repeated what they were told to. Finally after exchanging the rings the pastor asked if there was anything the couple would like to say.

Luke calmly turned turned to Alex and took her hands in his and gazed into her eyes.

"I love you Alex, and I promise to never leave you. You're my heart and I couldn't live without you. I can't wait to wake up to your face for the rest of my life"

Alex smiled sweetly at him and gripped his hands tighter.

"Luke.... I can't even begin to explain what all we've been through. But I want you to know how thankful I am for you and how much I love you. I couldn't Ben imagine not being able to see those eyes everyday"

"and you may kiss the bride!" exclaimed the pastor happily.

Luke pulled her close and gave her a cocky grin.

"do I have to say please?"

"bite me" Alex smiled

With a deep rumbling chuckle he captured her lips in a soul heating kiss. After a while the crowd went up in yells and whistles causing them to break away and laugh.

"I give you mr. And mrs. Luke O'Grady!"
