Love Will Find A Way

Part Two - Chapter Twenty-Seven: Getting Married

“We are gathered here today in the face of this company, to join together Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro and Nicole Isabella Bartolini García in matrimony; which is an honourable and solemn estate and therefore is not to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly, but reverently and soberly,” the Celebrant said as he opened the wedding his eyes looked around the gathering that had come together to watch the couple join as man and wife.

There were notable absentees, such as the brides deceased parents but they were with the couple in spirit and they would be proud of their daughter marrying the man that she loved at last.

“Cristiano Ronaldo, do you take Nicole Isabella Bartolini García as your lawful wedded wife, to live in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love, honour, comfort, and cherish her from this day forward, forsaking all others, keeping only unto her for as long as you both shall live?” the celebrant asked making Cristiano smile as he looked at Nicole he knew that this would change everything and he had been waiting for this since he had asked her the first time to marry him.

The footballer knew that he wouldn’t waste a moment with her and he knew that they were going to have a big family and live happy ever after with Nicole.

“I do,” Cristiano said as he took her hands, he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her and he knew that there was nothing that could take away from this moment; they had been through so much and now they were finally getting married.

“Nicole Isabella, do you take Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro for your lawful wedded husband, to live in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love, honour, comfort, and cherish him from this day forward, forsaking all others, keeping only unto him for as long as you both shall live?” the celebrant asked as Cristiano rubbed the back of Nicole’s hand with his thumb.

He knew that this didn't change anything but he felt closer to her than ever before because of this.

The brunette smiled as she realised that he was nervous, she didn’t blame him and the butterflies in her stomach were making her feel a little queasy.

“I do,” Nicole said making a couple of people sniff; she could see her eldest brother start to weep as he watched his her marry.

It was a reminder that both of their parents weren’t here to see this moment, they would never get to share this experience with their children nor meet their future grandchildren.

“Nicole, I marry you today to love, honour and cherish you as the husband that you deserve. You are my soul-mate, my best friend, the person that I cannot live without and the mother of my son, From today and ever more I promise you love and support, friendship and loyalty until death do us part,” Cristiano said as he recited his vows as he sipped on her wedding ring.

He grinned at Nicole, she meant the world to him and he would do anything for her; they had been through so much that there was no moment that he hadn’t wanted this moment to come to them.

“Today I, Nicole Isabella Bartolini García, take you, Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro, as my husband, friend and partner for life… you are my best friend, the love of my life, the father of my son, my soul-mate and I promise to stand by you and love you for the rest of my life, in good times and in bad, until my dying breath,” Nicole said as she recited her vows back to Cristiano as she slipped on his wedding ring.

She knew that there was one secret that she had yet to tell him and she knew that she didn’t mind waiting until the right moment to tell him what it was.
