Love You Enough

Take My Hand

Stevie stares out the window, taken by all the neon lights. Lindsey smiles, watching the wonder in her eyes as she looks all around her and she squeals with excitement. Are they crazy? Definitely.

"And you're sure? After this, you can't back out" he tells her and she nods vigorously. "Alright, then all we have to do is decide where"

"Pick a place, I will go."

"Look, Elvis!" he says, pointing at the Chapel Of Burnin' Love, complete with blaring neon archway.

She giggles. "Perfect" He parks and walks with his soon-to-be bride up to the door. When they get inside, the room is decorated with lots of fake plastic flowers, twinkling fairy lights and Elvis love songs playing in the background. They stand at the front desk for a second until joined by a sweet possibly middle aged woman named Grace.

"Well hey there!" She says, smiling broadly. "Welcome to the Chapel of Burnin' Love! Is it just the two of you?" The couple nods. "Okay then I will be your witness. Look over the pamphlet and choose a wedding package. We can do the marriage license and all the legal stuff right here, but how about a little less conversation, a little more action, huh?" She says, her southern accent pleasant but thick. Her big mass of dyed-red curly hair bounces as she shows them the venue. "Have you chosen what you want?"

"I think we will choose the 'I Can't Help Falling In Love With You' package" Lindsey says, smiling at the cheesiness of it all.

"Ooh you must be one special lady!" Grace says, her eyes widened with child like glee. "That's rarely chosen. More expensive but the most beautiful we offer. I think you will be pleased. Give us a minute to set up and we can get you two hitched"

"Elvis" prepares to marry them, adjusting his costume, white jumpsuit adorned with a million rhinestones and his mutton chops groomed to perfection.

Their song is playing overhead and Lindsey sings some of the words to her in her ear as they sway with the music.

Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you

They are ready to go, having bought the cheap rings needed to exchange during the ceremony. Neither could stop smiling. The vows are laced with Elvis lyrics and other not-so-subtle jokes but it keeps it light. The two love birds don't care in the moment. Stevie says hers first, putting the ring on his finger. Lindsey is next and happily repeats his vows, placing the ring on her finger above her beautiful engagement ring.

"By the powers vested in me by the State of Nevada and by the powers of rock n roll, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss your bride"

They kiss passionately, causing the entire office of people to erupt in hoops and hollers.

"I present to you, Mr and Mrs Lindsey Buckingham! Have mercy!" They pull apart smiling. Pictures are taken and given to them as a momento, their marriage license is placed in a gold-leafed envelope and they're sent on their way. "The Buckinghams have left the building" is heard over the loud speaker and they laugh hysterically.

Once in the car, Lindsey turns on the radio and what happens to be playing?

"And you're always there to lend a hand

In everything I do,

That's the wonder,

The wonder of you.

And when you smile the world is brighter,

You touch my hand and I'm a king.

Your kiss to me is worth a fortune,

Your love for me is everything."

"This night was perfect, Lindsey" she says dreamily, kissing him again.

"Yes it was, Stephanie Buckingham" he says. "I cannot believe it"

"I'm so happy" she says, tears falling down her face.

"Me too" He kisses her again. "Let's find a nice hotel. We can stay the night and drive back in the morning"

She nods, needing to feel him against her. "Make it fast though. I don't want to be driving around all night"

"Oh, we won't be. I can't wait to consummate" he says and she laughs.

"Neither can I. I'm glad we're on the same wave length"

"We always have been, angel" He kisses her hand, starts up the car and drives down the strip. They decide on the Sands and her eyes light up.

"Frank Sinatra used to perform here!" Stevie says excitedly. The valet parks their car for them and he can't take his eyes off her.

"My beautiful bride." He strokes her face. "Your eyes are brighter than all the lights on the strip. I'm so happy to get to wake up to you every day for the rest of our lives"

"I love you Lindsey"

"I love you too Steph"

They are given a key to the honeymoon suite with a vibrating bed in the middle of the room and mirrors everywhere, a heart shaped jacuzzi tub in the bathroom. There were rose petals sprinkled on the bed and on the plush shag carpeting, pink champagne on ice and a dimmer to set the perfect mood.

"It's pretty" Stevie says with a laugh.

"Yeah, gorgeous" He rolls his eyes.

"Much better with the lights out" she says. "Kind of romantic if you squint"

"As long as you're here, it is plenty romantic" He descends upon Stevie, kissing her hungrily, tearing at her clothes. She unbuttons his shirt, kissing his chest and running her hands over his back. Her hands quickly find his belt and she whimpers with frustration. He helps her and he takes his jeans off.

"I can't wait" she says. "Now, please" she begs and he spreads her thighs, entering her quickly. She moans immediately and he kisses her waiting mouth. His strokes are forceful and deep. She's loud and he is loving her sounds. They inspire him to change his pace, and he hears her panting in his ear. He groans as he climaxes, bringing his new wife over the edge as well.

"Oh Lindsey!" she moans, riding the waves of her release. "Oh....Lindsey!"

"You're so gorgeous and you're mine" he says, withdrawing from her and laying on his side to face her.

"And you, my beautiful man, are mine" she says "Goodnight"

"Goodnight" he says, wrapping a protective around her small body.

Sleep comes easily afterward, laying in each other's embrace.
