Disdain Notice (Editing In Process)

Chapter Thirty-Nine ~ Yours

The piano started to play and I took my first steps to my future with my father by my side. I had the bouquet of pink and lavender flowers in my hands. Everyone, all of my family members and all of Gabriel's family members smiled at me as I walked down the aisle. Everyone looked so well dressed.

The church was decorated so beautifully. On each of the end side of the rows of the seats were a small white pillar. On the mini pillars had the same flowers I had in my hand. Except the difference between those flowers and mine was that in the middle, was a red rose.

I grinned at all of the guests. Then I looked right ahead of me. The priest was there, waiting for me with the Bible in his hand. On the right of the priest was Mila, who was grinning the happiest smile I ever saw on her. I gave a small wave at her without dropping the flowers. To the left of the priest was Gabriel. Luckily the veil hide my building tears. I blinked so that the tears won't ruin the make-up. Gabriel's eyes were on me and I almost gasped. Seeing those once intimidating eyes filled with so much love overwhelmed me.

Next to Gabriel was his best man, Prince Easton, who I have almost forgotten about. He waved at me and I waved back. My eyes returned to Gabriel.

He was all I saw now.

He looked so handsome in a well fitted black royal attire. On the pocket of his suit was a pink flower. His hands were behind his back and he smiled at me.

At last, my father and I stopped before them. My father turned to me.

"Ezra, you always deserve the best," he told me and then he hugged me.

I hugged him back as I whispered, "Love you, Father." Then we pulled back and Gabriel stepped forward with his hand outstretched.

Father gestured Gabriel to take my hand. Gabriel took my hand as my father stepped away and went to his seat.

This was it.

I was going to be married today. Everything seemed like a dream but deep in my heart, I knew it wasn't and I was happy about that.

Gabriel and I stood before the priest and I squeezed his hand. He squeezed my hand back and my smile became bigger.

The priest continued to say more things about this day and its meaning. In the inside, I was jumping with excitement and happiness. On the outside, I looked at the priest as he spoke.

Soon he instructed us to say our vows. He gestured for Gabriel to go first.

Gabriel cleared his throat. "Ezra, ever since I first met you, I thought that you were like the others. But then as I continued to get to know you, I realized that you were not like the others at all. You're smart, courageous, funny, fun, and strong. I love that about you. I love that you could see past my title. I love that you see me as a person and not as a prize. I love that you changed me for the better. I love your smiles and laughs even if you do complain about your cheeks hurting, I love seeing you happy and worry free. I love that I have the opportunity continue to make you happy because I am yours, Ezra, my princess. I will be there to help you in your darkest of times and your times of happiness, just like you were there for mine. I will always be yours."

I grinned and I wanted to cry of happiness at his heart touching words.

"Ezra," the priest said.

I cleared my throat as well. I looked into Gabriel's eyes and said, "Gabriel, you're nothing of what I expected when I first saw you, as well." At that, there were a couple of chuckles from the guests and Gabriel laughed. "From cold to warm, I saw your inner you. You're sweet, fun, strong, caring and above all, you're loving. You let me ride your first horse, you made sure I smiled during our moments, you shared your darkest secrets with me and I am grateful for everything you done for me. I will continue to be there for you in your darkest of times and through the lightest. I will love you for as long as I live and with this life with you, I'll make you happy just like you have made me happy all of these days. I'm yours, Gabriel, always will be."
