IT'S NOW OR NEVER - Chapter 4

Getting married had never been in Alex's plans because, in general, he had never considered marriage so important.  With or without marriage he knew that Miles would take care of him for the rest of his life because Miles would always be by his side, no matter if it was to share a bad and difficult moment or an amazing and beautiful one. He had no doubts that their friendship, as well as the love and affection they felt for each other, would never end anyway. However, getting married was a beautiful thing to do to celebrate their love with their parents and close friends; it was also a way to take another commitment with Miles and become a family and, most of all, they would be able to take care of each other in case something bad would have happened to any of them.

After asking Miles to be his for the rest of his life, Alex never had a doubt about the decision made; all the things that had held him back from loving Miles the way he deserved weren't important anymore and he was more than ready to enjoy that new chapter of his life. Now, they were on the same level, each of them being the center of the other's universe and the same amount of love and caring was radiating from one and hitting the other in a perfect equilibrium and he couldn't wait to make Miles happy for the rest of his life.

After the proposal, they hadn't taken too much time to organize the wedding; they wanted a cozy ceremony with a few guests and, most of all, they didn't want to waste any more time. It would be a secret wedding celebration because, for the moment, they had chosen not to let everyone know that they were a couple for real, deciding that it was better keeping their private life private the way they had successfully done in the past two years. They had been so good that some people almost thought that they weren't friends anymore or that their friendship wasn't strong as during their last tour together so they were intentioned to go on enjoying their privacy until it would last.

They had been pretty quick to design their tailored suits, choose the cars, book their honeymoon and find the perfect location for the ceremony in the English countryside, deciding with no effort all the related stuff like the flowers and the menu. Apparently, Alex let Miles have the last word on everything, as if he wanted to show him that he agreed with his requests even if he knew that Miles hadn't been serious with him.  Miles was happy to see Alex so enthusiastic about organizing their wedding; he knew that Alex had never daydreamed about getting married but he was proving him that he really wanted it and that it wasn't just something he had felt obliged to do after two years of living together. The only difficulty they had during the ceremony arrangements was the music; despite Miles had prohibit Alex and the Monkeys to play, they ended up deciding not to hire a band and simply play some music. They wanted to avoid any possibility that someone would reveal anything during the wedding day or later and, therefore,  they had spent a full day preparing a playlist of songs to play in the background in between cuddling and lovemaking.

"Alex? Are you ready?" Matt asked as he wore the jacket. "Jay told me that Miles is already in the car," he added, and, for a second, he had the scary thought that Alex might have suddenly changed his mind about the huge step he had decided to take.

"I am ready," Alex said with a big smile on his face as he opened the door of the bathroom.

"How do I look? Do you think I am handsome enough for this special day? I am sure that Miles is gonna look stunning and I want to be beautiful enough for him," Alex said now a little nervous.

"Of course you are handsome, Alex! If I were gay, I would do you right now," Matt said winking at him and slapping his ass.

"I don't know what to think about this, Matt. I am happy you're not gay because you'd be the worse best man in the world," Alex said pretending to be shocked before bursting into laughter with Matt.
