Scalia

Chapter 4

Scott stood at the alter looking a little nervous. The wedding had not started due to Malia being a couple of minutes late. 'Oh man what if she backed out. What if she really doesn't want to marry me.' He glanced over at his best man. Stiles mouthed she will be here and gave him a smile. Scott gave him a nod. Then the doors opened and in walked Malia with her father. Scott felt like he had been hit by a truck. He couldn't breathe. She was so stunning and beautiful that he couldn't even think. When she finally made her way to the alter, he took a good long look at her buoyant face and all his troubles seemingly melted away. He was no longer nervous but felt alive and confident. Confident that this woman was going to be his wife, confident that he could love her with all he had. Scott must have been looking at her for awhile because the priest stopped talking and Malia started. "Scott, I vow to love you with all my heart." She starts. "I vow to be understanding and compassionate. I vow to never ever hurt you in any way. I vow to be patient with you and help you when you need it. I love you so much." Scott feels a tear or two slide down his face as he takes his turn to say his piece. "Malia, I take you as you are, loving who you are now and who you are yet to become. I promise to listen to you and learn from you, to support you and accept your support." He stops and she is crying now too. "I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." The priest finishes. Scott takes Malia in his arms and kisses her deeply. As soon as their lips touch it's like a bunch of fireworks go off inside their bodies. The crowd claps and cheers in the background but they don't hear them. All they are surrounded by is each other. "I love you." Scott says when they finally break apart. " I love you more."
