me: i love you a lot

me: and i know it's 2am

me: and you're asleep

me: but i love you so fucking much and i want you to be eternally happy (hopefully with me)

me: and tomorrow we'll have the same surname, and you're going to be my husband, and i'll be your wife

me: and, i can't wait to see your butt in your suit

me: but i'm currently really sad, yet ecstatic, tired, but completely energetic, and nervous, but truly, madly, deeply in love with you. and i hope, and believe i forever will be, reece jamie bibby

me: you mean the entire fucking world to me, and you are my world

me: and i can just picture your happy little smile and your prominent dimples when you read these later, and even though it's tradition not to, i still want to be with you, and i literally can't properly function without you, and i savour each and every single moment we spend together; whether i'm in your arms or you're in mine. whether our fingers are laced, or you're the other side of a room. my hands are in your hair, or yours are in mine. if we're clothed or not, it doesn't matter. as long as i'm near to or around you; if i can see or hear or feel you, i'm content

me: and i hope i will be for the rest of my life, and i hope you are, with me

me: because, believe me, i don't say this lightly, but i can genuinely see myself growing old with you, and can't at all imagine life without your beautiful little face being a part of it

me: and bloody hell, i know we're young, and i never expected life to be like this, but your presence in my world is the most important thing

me: baby boy, i love you, see you in a few

i walked up the aisle, my arms hooked with reece's two best men, george and blake, and they let go of me, standing behind reece, smiles on their faces.

i giggled, a huge grin on my face matching reece's as he took my hands.

"you look so beautiful." he mumbled.

"ditto." i said softly.

"you may now kiss the bride."

i smiled as reece placed his hands on my hips, pulling me towards him, kissing me, cheers and claps erupting in the background, and i cupped his face.

"i love you so much, ella louise bibby." reece said quietly, pecking my lips again before picking me up bridal style and i giggled in his arms.

"i love you too, reece jamie bibby." i said.

reece tapped the side of his glass with his fork and stood up as everyone went quiet.

"i'd just like to say a few words." he smirked, looking to me.

"firstly, thank you everyone for coming, and thank you, ella, for becoming my wife.
i remember the first time your fingers were intwined with mine, and how i did, and still do, think that's one of the best feelings i've ever known.
i remember the first kiss we shared, and the first time i had the pleasure of laying next to you. the first smile of yours i got to witness, and the first time i was able to hold you when something hurt you.
all these little things mean the world to me, as do you.

"i've done some pretty fucking uncool things in front of you, but, luckily, you still love me, despite them, and, if anything, when we do embarrassing things in front of each other, it just makes me love you more.

"you're the most beautiful human bean i've ever known, and i'm so glad you're mine.

"i'm more in love with you than i ever thought possible, and i hope my butt looks as good in this suit as you'd hoped, because yours sure looks good in that dress."

i giggled, standing up and pulling his lips to mine as everyone cheered again.

"i love you." i smiled, pulling away as we both sat down again, our fingers locked then, and for the rest of the night.
