Dark night of the soul

Chapter 97

*Sarah's POV*
*play music here and read slowly*
The bride and groom enter the room and everybody's eyes are on them as they take the floor.
The dance floor is evacuated as the beginning of Etta James's song plays in the background setting the mood perfectly for the married couples first dance.
Hamish takes Lily by the waist and begins to slowly swing her around the room.
Tears swam in my eyes as one of my best friends enjoyed her day. At last. I'm so glad that she is finally happy. She deserves to be happy. Flashes from cameras fill the room as the happy couple spin, making all the guys whistle. This was so perfect.

Soon after, couples began filling the dance floor.
I turn to my wife who asks someone to look after our children. She takes my hand and leads me up towards the other couples. I feel lost in her eyes as we slowly sway around the room as if we were alone. For what felt like ages we stared deeply into each other's eyes, kissing each other every now and then. Her eyes, her soul, her smile. Damn that smile. The smile of the woman that lights up my life.
My beautiful wife, forever.
"Oh how did I ever get this lucky Jess?" I ask making her smile. "Oh baby you're not the lucky one"
"Do you remember our special moment on the dance floor?" Jess asks as I hummed away to the music. "I remember the whole day like it was yesterday" I smiled remembering the glorious moment. The music began to fade *slowly turn down the music whilst you're reading until you can't hear it for the effect* and flashbacks of our wedding came into focus.

*flashback*
"Jess, I can't begin to explain how grateful I am to have you. Before you, I didn't believe in soul mates, I didn't believe in having that one true love your whole life, that was all before I had fallen for you. I remember that whenever we were away from each other I would find myself thinking only of you, the way you spoke, the way you moved, the way you smiled, that smile. The smile that took my breath away. Jessica, you've grown to be my best friend and the only woman that I would like to share the rest of my life with. In the great words of Shonda Rhimes you are my person, forever and always and I promise to give every piece of me to you" I say watching tears form in my partners eyes.
I watched Jess intently as she fiddled with the piece of paper then ripped it up. "I prepared a big speech about how much I loved you, but I've realised that I don't need to rehearse something, I can tell you right now how much I love you from the bottom of my heart. From the moment that you forced me to go on a date with you I knew that you would mean a greater deal to me than you did before." She said and small chuckles were heard from the crowd. "Sarah, you're the one that I'm completely madly in love with, whenever I look into your eyes I feel like nobody else is here, you make me feel like the only person in the world. I used to wonder why none of my relationships worked before but I now realise that it's because you're the one for me. I'm meant to be with only you. I cannot find the right words to express how much you mean to me but you've just go to trust me on this one, the feelings are forever there." She finishes as the tears reached the bottom of my cheeks.

"Do you, Jessica Phyllis Lange, take Sarah Catharine Paulson to be your lawfully wedded wife?" The priest asks.

"I do"

"And do you, Sarah Catharine Paulson, take Jessica Phyllis Lange to be your lawfully wedded wife?" He turns to me.

"I do"

"You may now kiss the bride"

As our lips connect the guests clap and many "awes" and "Ahhs" are heard. This moment. This is the moment I will carry in my heart forever.

*flashback over*
"I could do that all over again, it was the happiest day of my life. The day that i could officially call you mine" Jess says as I rest my head on her shoulder.
"I love you so much"

"I love you too Sarah"
