Tobin POV

After I got ready Kelley and the band brought me down to the gazebo. I greeted the minister and waited for Alex. First JJ and Christen walked out. Smiles wide on their faces. Followed by Kelley and Hope. Kelley leaned over and whispered something in her ear. She giggled and smiled back at her. I wasn't positive but I was sensing some heat there, I should tell Alex about that. Last came Ali and Ash, adorable as ever. They kissed and parted ways. Music started and the audience stood. I turned to look down the isle. I lost my mind. She looked stunning. The dress hugged her in all the right places. I started to cry a bit so I turned and squatted down, trying to control myself. As Alex walked down I turned back around to meet her.
"You look beautiful." I whispered. I held her hands and took a step back.
"Is this new?" I asked gesturing to the dress. This got a chuckle out of the audience. She faked one and leaned over to me.
"What'd we agree?" She asked.
"No jokes at the wedding." I asked hanging my head, but smiling.
"No jokes at the wedding." She repeated giving me a pat on the shoulder. We walked up the steps and the minister smiled at us.
"Good afternoon everyone. Today we're here to witness the marriage of Tobin Heath and Alex Morgan." I smiled and raised an eyebrow at Alex. She continued the ceremony but my eyes never left Alex, until I was snapped out of my head.
"Tobin?" The minister said.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"Do you have your vows?" She asked with a smile.
"If I didn't I think Alex would kill me." I laughed.
"Alex. Alex Morgan." I said, she along with our guests laughed.
"Alex our journey is one beyond compare. From high school to now, there was never a day I wasn't in love with you. We've been to hell and back, and I'd do it all again for you. Of course I have a song prepared for you, which as you know is how I convey all feelings," more laughs, "and to start that, I'm gunna tell a story." I turned to the guests.
"Alex and I started "us" under the stars. And I can't think of a better place, or a better way. Because every time I look up at the night sky, which happens to be quite often, I think of her. I think of the most beautiful woman in the world, she was beautiful when I met her when we were 17, and if possible, she's even more beautiful at 24. I think one of the best ways to describe Alex and I, is the phrase, one thing led to another. We went from hating each other, to being head over heels in love. She's everything I've ever wanted. I'm sure most of you know, I haven't had the easiest life, but with Alex, everything's easy. I can let my guard down, I can be me. And I'm so grateful for that everyday. Since the first day we met, Alex lit a spark in me. And I'm still not entirely sure what it is, but within our time together, I've gotten bits and pieces, so as time goes on, I think I'll get the whole picture. Some of the biggest moments of mine and Alex's life together, came from a song. And this time won't be any different." I smiled at Alex and the band and I walked down the steps to where our instruments were set up. I held an acoustic guitar and signaled my friends we were good to go. I started strumming, then singing.

Your mouth is a revolver
Firing bullets in the sky
Your love is like a soldier,
Loyal 'til you die
And I've been looking at the stars
For a long, long time
I've been putting out fires
All my life

Everybody wants a flame,
They don't want to get burnt
And today is our turn

I turned and started walking up to Alex

Days like these lead to...
Nights like this lead to
Love like ours.
You light the spark in my bonfire heart.
People like us-we don't
Need that much, just some-
One that starts,
Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts

This world is getting colder.
Strangers passing by
No one offers you a shoulder.
No one looks you in the eye.

I got closer to Alex and she smiled at me, wrapping her arms around my neck

But I've been looking at you
For a long, long time
Just trying to break through,
Trying to make you mine

Everybody wants a flame,
They don't want to get burnt
Well, today is our turn

People started to clap along and laugh, making us very happy

Days like these lead to...
Nights like this lead to
Love like ours.
You light the spark in my bonfire heart.
People like us-we don't
Need that much, just some-
One that starts,
Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts

Our bonfire hearts
Our bonfire hearts
Our bonfire hearts
You light the spark

People like us-we don't
Need that much, just some-
One that starts,
Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts

Days like these lead to...
Nights like this lead to
Love like ours.
You light the spark in my bonfire heart.
People like us-we don't
Need that much, just some-
One that starts,
Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts

(Our bonfire hearts)

(Days like these lead to...
Nights like this lead to
Love like ours.
You light the spark in my bonfire heart.*)
People like us-we don't
Need that much, just some-
One that starts,
Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts

She smiled and kissed me. I handed the guitar to JJ who put it back on the stand. I stood in front of Alex.
"Oh great, how am I gunna follow that?" She asked. I laughed along with everyone.
"Mm, Tobin Heath what am I gunna do with you? I find myself asking that a lot. Tobin you are everything to me. You've done so much for me. From providing for me, consoling me, and being anything I ever needed. Tobin you've done a lot in our time, but I'll tell you some of my favorites. You taught me how to smile. You taught me down to let go and not care what anyone says. I'll be honest, I was a bitch in high school." She laughed and winked at me. I stood there shocked.
"But Tobin, you showed me how to let loose, to relax, to live a little. And that's what we do. We live. We love. We have our fair share of laughs. And best of all, we get to do it together. And there's no one I'd rather do it with." She finished and I smiled back to her.
"Do we have the rings?" The minister asked. Kelley and Ali handed Alex and I each other's rings and the minister spoke.
"Tobin, remove Alex's engagement ring and put your wedding band on before the engagement ring, keeping the wedding band close to your heart. This symbolizes your love being protected by your marriage." I did as told.
"Repeat after me." She said. I nodded.
"With this ring,"
"With this ring," I repeated.
"I marry you, and intertwine my life with yours."
"I marry you and intertwine my life with yours."
"It is a symbol of my never ending love,"
"It is a symbol of my never ending love,"
"My everlasting devotion, loyalty and friendship,"
"My everlasting devotion, loyalty and friendship,"
"And the promise of all my tomorrows."
"And the promise of all my tomorrows." I slipped the ring in Alex's finger and she squealed a bit. I laughed at this and squeezed her hand. Alex did the same as me and I smiled to her.
"Alex, do you take Tobin Powell Heath to be your lawfully wedded wife?" She asked.
"I do." Alex said with a crack in her voice.
"Tobin, to you take Alexandra Patricia Morgan to be your lawfully wedded wife?" She asked. Alex could tell I was gearing up for a joke when my eyes lit up.
"Don't even." She whispered to me with a glare. I chuckled a bit before answering.
Without hesitation. I do." I said. Alex smiled back at me.
"Then by the power vested in me and the state of New Jersey, I pronounce you married. You may kiss." I lunged forward and held Alex by the waist. She wrapped her arms around my neck. Our lips molded together perfectly. We held each other tight. It's one of my favorite kisses we've had.
