I'm gonna love you til

My lungs give out

I promise till death we part

Like in our vows

So I wrote this song for you

Now everybody knows

That it's just you and me

Until we're grey and old

Just say you won't let go

Just say you won't let go

"Hi," I quickly turned around when I heard the familiar voice. His back was turned towards me and he had his hand out waving awkwardly.

"What are you doing?" I asked, watching him with a bemused smile on my lips. We'd been together so many years and yet he never failed to surprise me with his weird and wonderful brain.

"We're not suppose to see each other?" He said, but he himself was questioning what the hell he was doing. Phil had been following all the weird and wonderful wedding superstitions which I'd obliged with as I knew it would make him happy but even he knew they were a little bit ridiculous.

"I thought that was just for the straights," he laughed, a real genuine Phil laugh, that never failed to put a smile on my face. There was an ever present smile on my cheeks that day, how could I not be happy, I was marrying the love of my life. The love of my life that tried and failed to walk backwards towards me with his arms outstretched. He only took two steps before he hit a foot stool and tumbled to the floor.

"Phil," I said, in a half laugh, fond kind of way. He looked up at me with a dazed smile. I leant down to his level, his face upside down to mine and gave him a kiss.

"You're my Spiderman," he said and a snort laugh erupted from my lips.

"Come on Phil, let's get married,"

~~

"Daniel, would you like to begin?" I nodded and looked back to Phil. As soon as we made eye contact the words were lost from my brain. I had to take a breath, pause and collect my thoughts before I ruined the vows I'd been practicing for months.

"Phil," I said and with one word, my voice had already turned to mush, he squeezed his fingers in mine and I continued.

"You've made me the happiest I've ever been in my entire life. I love you. Plain and simple. I promise to never leave you, even when things get tough. I promise to love you, quirks and all. And I promise that I'll always love you. I want to be by your side every day. I want to stay with you until we're grey and old. I love you and I'm gonna love you til my lungs give out," I'd decided to keep it short and simple, but full of the most cheesiness I could, I couldn't help it I was just this sappy when it came to Phil. He smiled at me, a smile full of warmth and love and I could see the start of tears in his eyes. He could say anything to me in his vows, that he secretly hated me, that the wedding was off, but I wouldn't believe him for a second, not when he looked at me like that. He once told me that he sees the stars in my eyes and I honestly believe him, the look on his face was enough.

"Phil," Louise whispered from next to me and it snapped us out of just looking at each other in silence. God, our friends must find us so annoyingly in love.

"Dan," the unshed tears in his eyes tumbled out at just my name and we both laughed, overcome with such mushy, sappy love.

"Dan, I've done a lot of things I regret in my life, but choosing to marry you and be with you is not one of them. If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart, I'll stay there forever,"
