I watch as the handsome young men walked to the isle arm in arm. Alfred has a huge smile on his face as usual but this time it was different. There were sparkles in his eyes as he looked at me, slight tears starting to form in them. He was so happy that he was crying. I could tell Matthew was trying to comfort him and he was whispering into his ear something.
Alfred's POV
I could barely see my eyes were tested up so much. I couldn't be happier in this moment. I was about to marry the man that changed my life, the one who saw good in me and dealt with all of my stupidity, the one who loves me as much as I love him, the one who I'd do anything for. He was right there, waiting for me to be his.
I looked around as best as I could to see who was at the wedding but then I was stopped by Mattie who whispered in my ear, "don't look around, it will make you more nervous." I smiled at him in response, which wasn't hard since I couldn't stop smiling anyways. Though I was happy there was nervousness in me, I couldn't help it. What if Arthur didn't want to be with me? After all I was just his toy for a long time, maybe that's all I am to him. No, that's crazy, Artie loves me. He'd never want to hurt me, I know it.
"Is mom and dad here?" I whisper to Matthew as we walk.
"Yes, they seem very happy for you." My brother responds making a tear fall from my face.
"That's wonderful."
My parents were an odd couple. My mother was now technically my father, she had a sex change after Mattie and I were born. My parents were also from two different countries, just like Arthur and I, my father being from Sweden and my mother from Finland. They moved to America with Mattie and I when we were just children but soon Mattie moved with my father to Canada. We reunited when my mother and father got back together in our teen years, that's when our adventures started. Luckily my parents don't know what we have been up to, they think we are comedians that are traveling the world.
"Father is actually smiling, it's kind of scary." Matthew adds, making me laugh lightly before I stand beside Arthur.
"Hey, old man. Is your family here?" I whispered to my fiancée.
"Sadly, yes, but only some. My oldest siblings from Wales and Scotland." He whispered back.Arthur's POV
It was now time for vows as Matthew finished speaking. It was my turn first, I have memorised the entire thing. I cleared my throats before speaking, "Alfred, it has been a bloody nightmare dealing with you, well, for the first few days of knowing you," I hear people laugh and awe, "after those days pasted I slowly started to realise my love for you. You made me happier than anyone else ever has, even right now you are my happiness. When you left me, I was broken, I missed you so much. I waited everyday to hear from you or see you again. Now I know that I can never loose you like that ever again and I always want you by my side. I love you." I smile and hold Alfred's hands, who was now crying.
"Well, wow um... I didn't have a speech like that ready," people laugh lightly, including the blonde man in front of me, "but I guess I will just... do it. So, Artie, I mean, Arthur, I love you more than anyone could imagine and even though we aren't getting married on the moon, this is still pretty awesome." He gives a thumbs up to Francis before continuing, "I wouldn't was to be here with anyone else, only you. You're the only man on earth who could make me as happy as you make me." People clap as Alfred pulls me into a hug and I hug back.
After we say our "I do's" and we exchanged rings Alfred and I looked at Matthew for the magic words. I bite my lip nervously for a second then look back at Alfred, "you may now kiss the groom." Alfred looks at me and we smile before kissing. People applauded as I held the American man against me as we kissed passionately. This git of an American was now my husband, I couldn't be any happier.
