Chapter 28: I'll Be Yours

Rashad.

I stood at the alter with my hands at my sides. I kept rubbing them on my pants leg because they were extremely sweaty. I was nervous as hell right about now since the brides song just started playing. I took a deep breath as Tamara came down the aisle with her veil flowing down her beautiful face and the bouquet of white roses clenched in her hand. She made it to the alter with help from her father. He nodded at me and I nodded back. I gained the urge to bite my nails, but I ignored it. I removed the veil from her face as a bright smile was revealed which caused me to smile as well.

"We are all gathered here today to unite Tamara Bahja Pullins and Rashad Anthony Spencer as one in holy matrimony. We will begin with the vows from Mr.Spencer," The priest spoke to the crowd.

I nodded then looked at Tamara."Tamara Bahja Pullins, I will love you unconditionally through sickness and health. I will be faithful and honest to you at all times. You're my heart, my love and my everything. I will do anything for you whether it's flipping a mountain or just staying by your side when you need me the most. Nothing will break our bond and whatever issue we have, I want us to push through it because I will not lose you," I paused then cleared my throat and waited for my tears to dry away. "You helped me in my worst of times and you put up with me when I wasn't being loyal and honest to you. We been through alot and I'm not letting that go. I love you- I love us too much to just let it all go and lose you, so I promise to push through anything that gets thrown our way,"

I sniffled then pinched the bridge if my nose before smiling at Tamara. God, I am so lucky right now.

"Now, Ms. Pullins," The priest said while looking over at her.

Tamara.

I looked at Rashad and smiled before reciting my vows.

"Rashad Anthony Spencer, my love for you is beyond this universe. We've been through everything together and we've worked through it as well. You were a great friend before we became anything serious. You were my shoulder to cry on and you gave me great advice. You also changed me for the better," I paused then cleared my throat as my tears threatening to fall, choked me up. "I promise to love and cherish you through the good, the bad and sickness and health. I will be faithful and honest and I will do whatever it takes to keep our marriage strong and moving," I smiled while looking at him.

"Lovely. Rings?" The priest asked.

We let August be the ring boy which means that Tinashe had to come, but whatever. She hasn't done anything crazy.

August brought them up to the alter with a bright smile on his face and Quan helping him from behind. He handed them to the priest and the priest took them.

"If anyone feels that these two should not be married, speak now or forever hold your peace,"

Everyone looked at Tinashe and she rose her eyebrows.

"Why everybody lookin at me?" She looked around then looked at the priest. "Proceed," She smiled.

I smiled then looked at Rashad. The priest handed us our rings and Rashad slid mine onto my left ring finger and I slid his onto his left ring finger.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. Now kiss the br-,"

The priest couldn't even finish his sentence before Rashad's lips were on mine. I smiled against his lips then wrapped my arms around his neck. He pulled back with the brightest smile I've ever seen him show. Rashad picked me up bridal style and carried me down the aisle.

"Its official!" He exclaimed as I giggled.

We were in the reciption about to cut our cake. I had the knife in my hand and Rashad was behind me guiding my arm. I sliced one piece then placed it onto the plate then I sliced another for Rashad.

"We feed it to each other right?" He asked while I handed him his plate.

I nodded. "Yeah, but we don't have to," I said lowly.

"Psh. I want to," He opened his mouth. "Ahhh,"

I laughed then wiped some of the icing on his nose.

"That wasn't my mouth," He laughed before trying to reach his nose with his tongue.

My dad and Grandma Tiny came over to us with the babies then they handed them to us. I took Tony into my arms as Rashad took Ant.

"Congratulations, honey," Grandma Tiny beamed before engulfing me into a hug.

I hugged her back. "Thank you,"

"You ready to open your gifts?" She asked.

I nodded then walked toward the section of our gifts.

Rashad and I boarded the plane that would take us to Paris for our honeymoon. We'll be staying for a couple of days then back to business we go.
