P3- The Vows We Take

Laurence's POV
-=+=-
(A few weeks later)
~*~Wedding Day~*~

I was pacing back and forth while Garroth, Travis, and Dante tried to get me to calm down. I was a nervous wreck. I stopped suddenly, and Garroth who had been rubbing my shoulder following me, ran into me and fell down. "Gah! Laurence! Don't just stop like that!" Garroth laughed, and I helped him up, the guys laughing. I began pacing again and stopped in front of the tall mirror, adjusting my bow tie for the seventh time the past ten or fifteen minutes. "Re~lax, Laurence! You're gonna marry the woman of your dreams!" Dante walked up behind me with a comb, and started combing through my hair for me. "Pfft! Dante, what're you doing?" Garroth and Travis asked at the same time. I was too nervous to care. "Eh? I'm just fixing up his hair." Dante said, Travis nodded. "Just so you know, you're gonna do that for me too." Travis demanded. Dante didn't seem to care, so he nodded. "I feel like Cadenza or Lauren should be the ones doing that.. Dante, it's just creepy." Garroth said, pulling him away. As if on cue, Cadenza and Lauren rushed into the room. "Hey! I don't think you're supposed to be in here, girls." Dante said. "PFFFT, screw the rules!" Lauren replied, walking up to me. "AAHHH! My little baby's growing up!!" She squealed, ruffling my hair. "Lauren!!" Dante and Cadenza exclaimed, rushing up to me with combs. Lauren giggled innocently, Irene knows she isn't innocent... I've seen the things she reads and writes. (😏) She tugged on Cadenza's shoulder. "C'mon, sis. We should go check on Aphmau." Garroth walked over to me and whispered something in Lauren's ear. She nodded, then spoke up. "Laurence, just do it. You're gonna marry the woman you love... And to me, that's all I could ask for, for you." She patted my shoulder. "We'll see you at three then?" Cadenza asked. Garroth, Dante, and Travis all nodded. "Good luck with Aph.." Dante whispered, barely loud enough for me to catch it.

A blush spread across my face as the music began to play, and the bride... My bride... Started walking down the aisle with her arm linked with Garroth's. She looked beautiful.. I smiled for the first time all day, the stress leaving my mind. The music quieted down as she stepped up on the opposite side of me, the priest smiling at both of us. "We are gathered here today..."

(I don't remember all that he says at the beginning so I'm going to skip ahead to the vows. Sorry!)

"I do.." Aphmau finished.
"If there are any objections, speak now.. Or forever hold your peace."

No-one spoke, but there was some shifting.

The priest smiled.
"You may kiss the bride."

We both smiled, me grinning more mischievously than I should have, but she laughed a bit and I pulled her to me, pressing our lips together.

Everyone stood up, clapping, and I noticed that Cadenza and Lauren were crying, but wide smiles.

The music started up again, it was one of the ones we had picked. (PLAY IT)

"Wow..." I whispered in Aphmau's ear. A few light purple petals fluttered to the ground, Aphmau's eyes lighting up. She squeezed my hand, leaning her head on my shoulder. I squeezed her hand back, I smiled sleepily, trying not to yawn. The girls had woke me up late last night... Aphmau had gotten sick around four or five in the morning. I think it was just nausea though, Zoey gave Aph something for her stomach.
Snapping me out of my thoughts, Aphmau said something. "S-Sorry.. What did you say?" I muttered, looking at her. "Oh.. It's nothing. I.. I love you!" She said, quickly changing the subject. "Love you too, Aph."
