Ryder Pov

Everyone takes a seat and it gets really silent. I look at Chase and he gives me a soft smile and mouths an 'I love you' to me. We turn to the preacher, which is Rylan and the ceremony starts.

"Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here today in the presence of these witnesses, to join Chase Williams and Ryder Andrews 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." Rylan said.

"Who gives this man, Chase Williams to be wed?"  Rylan says.

"We do" Chase parents speak.

"Who gives this man, Ryder Andrews to be wed?"

"We do." My parents speak.

"Do the couple have words of their own?" Both Chase and I nod.

"Ryder what can i say? I take you as you are, loving who you are now and who you are yet to become. I promise to listen to you and learn from you, to support you and accept your support. I will celebrate your triumphs and mourn your losses as though they were my own. I will love you and have faith in your love for me, through all our years and all that life may bring us. I love you unconditionally and without hesitation. I vow to love you, encourage you, trust you, and respect you.

As a family, we will create a home filled with learning, laughter, and compassion. I promise to work with you to foster and cherish a relationship of equality knowing that together we will build a life far better than either of us could imagine alone. Today, I choose you to be my husband. I accept you as you are, and I offer myself in return. I will care for you, stand beside you, and share with you all of life’s adversities and all of its joys from this day forward, and all the days of my life." Chase whispered at the end and wiped away my tears.

" Chase today, I promise you this: I will laugh with you in times of joy, and comfort you in times of sorrow. I will share in your dreams and support you as you strive to achieve your goals. I will listen to you with compassion and understanding, and speak to you with encouragement. Together, let us build a home filled with learning, laughter and light, shared freely with all who may live there. Let us be partners, friends and lovers.

Many people spend their lives searching for their soul mate, their one true love. Some people are lucky to find the person they can truly call the better half of themselves, while others spend the rest of their lives searching and never finding. I am happy to count myself among the lucky ones because I found you. I love you Chase, I know you are the only one for me, my one true love. I am happy and I am grateful that you came into my life, that where others have spent their entire lives looking for the other one, I have found you.

And now that I have found you, I shall never let you go. I promise you that I shall hold you and cherish you, and give you my heart, that I shall support you and care for you. Faithfully, I shall always stand steadfast by your side with your hand in mine, regardless of what life would bring us. I take you now as my husband and I shall remain so for the rest of my life." I finished with a shaky breath.

Everyone said Awe and how adorable it was. I even caught Rylan trying to sneek and wipe a tear away.

"Now Chase do you take ,Ryder Andrews, to be your wedded husband, to love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, and forsaking all others, keep you only unto him, so long as you both shall live?"

"I do." He says with a smile.

"Now Ryder do you take ,Chase Williams, to be your wedded husband, to love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, and forsaking all others, keep you only unto him, so long as you both shall live?"

"I do."

"I Chase give you Ryder this ring as an eternal symbol of my love and commitment to you." He grinned at me.

"I Ryde give you Chase this ring as an eternal symbol of my love and commitment to you." I said with silent tears going down my face.

"By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and husband You may now kiss the groom".

Chase pulls me into him and smirks. I chuckle and pull him down into a kiss. Everyone claps and cheers as I get lost in the kiss. We soon pull apart from each other and take deep breaths.

The wedding went on for a few hours before everyone started to go home. Once the house was cleared I sat down on the sofa and let out a much needed breath. Chase came and sat next to me and I snuggled into his side.

"We did it Ryder. We finally got married."

"Yeah.. We did. And I love you even more. More than any thing."

"Forever and Always..." He grinned down at me.

"Always and Forever." I pecked his lips.

THE END!
