Lost in Your Eyes | Enrique Iglesias

Chapter 26

One year later. 

*Enrique's POV*

As I sit here having a cold whiskey with my best mates, my mind keeps wandering to Y/N, who right now is getting ready to get married me. I think about her putting on her wedding dress, which I have no idea how it looks like, her thoughts on me; just like mine are on her. I wonder if she feels the same knots in her stomach and the same gigantic amount of nervousness. 

I stand up and head to the ceiling-to-floor window and look out at the green backyard this house has. It is sunny and warm outside, just as we wanted it to be. We decided to get married on a summer day, the ocean next to us. We both love the ocean so much that we decided for it to be the biggest witness to us becoming husband and wife. 

I leave the room and walk along the corridor with my hands in my pockets, a big smile on my face. I hear many people's voices and suddenly my stomach houses billions of butterflies as I realize that people have already gathered outside to watch Y/N become my wife. 

''Are you ready, En?'' my best bud asks he as he claps my shoulder. I nod as I adjust the small flower on my chest and the baby pink tie of my white, well ironed shirt. It is probably the most comfortable suit shirt I have ever had on, and it goes well with my suit pants. 

''I am'' I answer. I might have a shaky voice, but I am sure of what I am saying. I am ready to get married. 

I make my way outside and feel the heat of afternoon sun on my face, but the slight breeze makes it easier for everyone to deal with the warmth; it is almost evening, the sun is about to set in about one hour. I look at the people sitting on the white chairs, waiting to see us become Mr. and Mrs. Iglesias, and I smile as I see all the loved ones, all the people that I really care about and that care about me, about us. 

I stand in front of the small altar made of white lilies. I stand here and I look behind all the people, waiting impatiently to see the bride, my bride. My best mates are behind me, making me feel somehow safe, knowing that they are there for me no matter what. 

My palms are sweaty and my heartbeats grow faster with every second I stand here. Then I hear out wedding singer acoustically play ''Heaven'' by Bryan Adams, our song. Then I see a door opening and I suddenly can't breathe; my beautiful Y/N comes slowly towards me, with her dad by her side. My heart feels as if it is about to hop out of my chest as I look at her figure: her dress is a champagne white, with a beige band around her waist. The lace on the upper side makes it look so especially elegant. Her hair is let down in wavy curls and has a small, pink orchid behind her ear, one that matches my tie.  

Her face is angelic; her lips are given a soft shade of pink and she has this kind of glitter on her eye lids. Don't ask me, I don't know make up. All I know is that Y/N is beautiful. I look at her lovely smile and I suddenly see a glister on her cheek; it's a tear. I feel my stomach in knots again as I realize that she too is happy to marry me. 

As she kisses her dad's cheek, I stretch out my arm for her to take it and she does so. As she stand in front of me I blink and tears that I did not feel gather in my eyes fall down my cheeks as waterfalls. Y/N grabs both my hands and as we look at each other, she gives me a tight squeeze, followed my a genuine smile. She looks happy and this is how I want to see her for the rest of our lives. 

''Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here today in the presence of these witnesses, to join Y/N and Enrique in matrimony commended to be honorable among all; and therefore is not to be entered into lightly but reverently, passionately, lovingly and solemnly. Into this - these two persons present now come to be joined. If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together - let them speak now or forever hold their peace'' the officiant says as everyone sits in silence. 

Then he says something more, but I do not hear it all, because my eyes and mind are on the radiant beauty in front of me, who will not stop smiling at me. I am so lucky. 

''Enrique, will you take Y/N to be your wife, your partner in life and your one true love? Will you cherish her friendship and love her today, tomorrow and forever? Will you trust and honor her, laugh with her and cry with her? Will you be faithful through good times and bad, in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?''

''I will'' I say as my heart races extremely quickly. 

''Y/N, will you take Enrique to be your husband, your partner in life and your one true love? Will you cherish his friendship and love him today, tomorrow and forever? Will you trust and honor him, laugh with him and cry with him? Will you be faithful through good times and bad, in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?''

''I will'' she says, emotion and love in her voice. 

We tell our vows to each other, which led to us spilling more tears and we put the rings on each other's shaky fingers. There is so much nervousness, emotion and happiness in our movements. 

''Now that you Y/N, and you Enrique, have given yourselves to each other by solemn vows, with the joining of hands and the giving and receiving of rings, I pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride'' the officiant says as he look at me smiling. 

With a shaky hand I cup Y/N's face, while the other one rests on her hip. I pull her into me and give her out first kiss as husband and wife. Our lips connect with each other in a sweet, passionate kiss as everyone claps happily. 

Everything I feel is indescribable. I just became the husband of the most wonderful woman to ever live. I am ready to spend the rest of my life with her, to make our dreams come true together, to have children, to grow old together, to die by each other's sides. 

I love her.
