Best Friend

Sweetest love

The wedding

Little droplets fell from Toni's eyes as she held tightly onto her bouquet of flowers. She never ever thought this moment would come again, and the fact that she was getting married to her soulmate, lover, strengthener, supporter and Best Friend. She felt empty at the moment, all the sad emotions she had, ran away.

"You look magnificently beautiful." Babyface whispered to her.

She blushed, taking his hand into hers. They both smiled looking up at pastor Davis. Toni let her droplets of tears fall, these weren't sad tears, but thankful, happy tears.

"I've watched Toni get baptized in this church, I've watched all her sisters get married. And now I get to watch her again..." Pastor Davis smiled. "Kenneth Brian Edmonds, your vows to Toni."

Babyface cleared his throat. "I've done this about two times, so am a pro at this now..." Everyone chuckled. ""I believe in you, the person you will grow to be and the couple we will be together. With my whole heart, I take you as my wife, acknowledging and accepting your faults and strengths, as you do mine. I promise to be faithful and supportive and to always make our family's love and happiness my priority. I will be yours in plenty and in want, in sickness and in health, in failure and in triumph. I will dream with you, celebrate with you and walk beside you through whatever our lives may bring. You are my person—my love and my life, today and always. I love you."

Toni was now sobbing tears of joy.

"Toni Michele Braxton-"

"Edmonds." Babyface added.

"Edmonds." Pastor Davis chuckled. "Your vows to Kenneth."

"I promise to be your lover, companion and best friend. Your partner in parenthood. Your ally in conflict,
Your greatest fan and your toughest adversary. Your comrade in adventure,
your student and your teacher, your consolation in disappointment,
your accomplice in mischief. This is my sacred vow to you, my equal in all things. All things. I love you to."

Toni and Babyface sealed it with a passionate kiss that left the audience speechless. They loved one another and now they were finally 'one'. Babyface leaned into Toni.

"I can't wait to rip that dress off you."

Toni blushed as everyone cheered. She grabbed his hand. "Maybe we can make love tomorrow." She teased.

"Gives me more time then." He smirked biting his lip.

Toni stood in the room built off from the theater. It was sort of like a sunroom, that had sliding glass doors giving you a perfect view of the pool and backyard. As Toni stood there looking at the pool water she felt Babyface wrap his arms around her as he kissed her cheek. Toni placed her hands on top of his where they were resting on her stomach and laid her head back on his chest.

"I believe you owe me something."

Toni lightly chuckled as she smiled at the backyard view.

Toni spun around and got lost in his eyes, he reached out and caressed her cheek. He tilted her chin and bent his head and gently kissed her. The kiss started out slow and turned into a fiery passion that she felt all the way to her toes. Her hands moved up and down his chest as they both got lost in the kiss.
