When The Seconds Change

Chapter 8

"I'm not losing you again."

Emely told Barry that maybe they should call off the wedding until the were certain that nothing would get in the way.

"Emely, I wanna marry you. I can't wait any longer."

"I know. But there's Dr. Alchemy and there will be a new meta, so we can't plan-"

"Baby, I meant today." Emely was confused.

"What are you trying to say?"

"I wanna get married to you today. Right now."

Hours later, Hunter, Cisco, Caitlin, Joe, Iris, Wally, Jesse, Harry, Lily and Paul were standing inside the chapel and watched as Emely and Barry got married 

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony. I assume you both have your vows?" Emely and Barry nodded.

"Emely, why don't you start?" Emely took a deep breath

"I remember when I was a new duck in the pond which is Central City. I met a lot of amazing people, one of them ended up being the love of my life. Barry Allen, I don't know what to say. There are a lot of puns for your name, which I constantly remind you of. Thank you for being there for me even when we weren't together. I thank you because you never stopped loving me. We've had our ups and downs but our life together is no fairytale. We've been through a lot and we'll keep going through changes but I'm glad that I chose you as my partner to live it with me. You've shown me what it's like to love someone and to have another family. I'm looking forward to creating our own family and growing old together. I couldn't write as much as I wanted to since Caitlin is currently trying to get me to stop. Anyway, I love you Barry Allen and I always will." Emely smiled up at Barry who was smiling back at her.

"Barry?" Barry pulled out his phone.

"I didn't know what to say in my vows, so found a song you liked, and I decided to sing those as my vows." Emely sat down as the music started to play a song that Emely grew to love

I met you in the dark, you lit me up

You made me feel as though I was enough

We danced the night away, we drank too much

I held your hair back when

You were throwing up

Then you smiled over your shoulder

For a minute, I was stone-cold sober

I pulled you closer to my chest

And you asked me to stay over

I said, I already told ya

I think that you should get some rest

I knew I loved you then

But you'd never know

'Cause I played it cool when I was scared of letting go

I know I needed you

But I never showed

But I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old

Just say you won't let go

Just say you won't let go

I'll wake you up with some breakfast in bed

I'll bring you coffee with a kiss on your head
