A Million Way's To Love You™ (On The Line) ♥ Book 4✔️

♡Chapter 44♡

*Michael's Point Of View*

"May the court be seated...", The priest order's. Bill motions for everyone to sit. They all obey. The preacher smiles and began his speech about marriage and reconnection. I'll be honest, I'm not paying attention anymore. There's so many thoughts going through my mind. The first thought, How damn good she looks in that dress. I am brought out of my trance by laughter and the priest. "Umm Michael?... ", I shake my head. "Uhh yeah...sorry ", He chuckles. "Your vows...", I gasp and blush deeply. "Sorry...", He nods while everyone else laughs. I take Marilyn's hand's. She has stars in her eyes. I take in a deep breath, exhaling slowly. "Babygirl.... I said these vows sixteen year's ago, and will say them again today... ", I started, staring at her intensely. She nods cheesing like crazy. I clear my throat, continuing my vows.

"Marilyn Michelle Jackson, love is a drug I'm addicted to because of you. You have broken me down and rebuilt me in a good way of course *everyone laughs* Because you dared to mend my broken heart, you dared to understand me, not just surface my problems or give up when I didn't let you in right away. I know I have messed up  but I truly feel that every trial has brought back hope. I don't know what the future holds but as long as I'm with you nothing matters. Because maybe the walls will tumble, and the sun may refuse to shine, but when I say I Love you, babygirl you gotta know that's for all time. I know I tell you that a lot, it's because I mean it. sometimes I do get scared I'm going to mess up again.  Only because i don't always feel worthy. You are my chocolate Love, i can't live without, but like you told me what you think are imperfections I think they are  gold so I stand before you today as I stood before you 16 years ago will you marry me...again Marilyn Jackson?",

Tears stung my eyes as I finished. Marilyn wipes my eyes, while everyone cooed. The priest turns to Marilyn. "Your vows...", She nods And wipes Her eye's before starting.
"Embrace, The word that gives not only permission to hold. But gives hope, hope of keeping what one love's or wants. Embrace is no longer the adverb of English writing.  Embrace is a action put forth upon another being because of one's heart. Embrace says more than you mean something to me. Embrace says I'll never let you go...and Michael... I'll never let you go..",

She finished kissing my hand. I don't think there is a dry eye around right now. Even Brandon and Jasmine are clinging to each other crying. The priest nods. "Now may the ring barrier come forth?", He requested. That is Dylan's cue. Everyone turns  to the end of The aisle, awaiting Dylan. After five minutes, Bill clears his throat stating he will find Dylan. The court laughs as well as the other guest.  Bill turns to jog off but Nicole Murphy pops up;along with Dylan. They walk side by side from the end of the isle. Dylan is smiling from ear to ear. Once they approach us, Nicole positions him in front of Marilyn and I. The priest again nods. "Thank-you, Now Michael and Marilyn take your spouses ring.. ", He instructs, motioning with his hand's. We happily obey. "Dad I think my wedding is next... ", He whispered smirking at Nicole. She giggles. "Just treat her right", I winked at him. The priest again steals my attention. "Now we have gathered to watch Marilyn and Michael Jackson renew their vows, It is a beautiful thing to be witness to..Now first you Michael... repeat After me...", He said staring at me. I nod. "With this ring...", He started. "With this ring...", I repeated. "A symbol of a renewed love and faith..", I smile. "A symbol of a renewed love and faith...", "I thee Wed... ", He concluded. "I-I thee Wed ", With that I slipped the new ring on it's rightful place. Marilyn smiles, tears still streaming. He turns to Marilyn and instructs the same. I am still awe. My life is back. My wife is back. "I thee Wed... ", Marilyn said softly slipping on my ring. "With the power vested in me.... I re-pronounce you two..husband and wife...You may now kiss your bride", I step closer to Marilyn. Stars in my eyes, and a profusely beating heart; I place my lips on hers. The court and other distinguished guest clap and cheer. Jasmine throws the rest of the petals. I still haven't broken the kiss. Bill chuckles. "Uhh you can continue later...let's get the party started!", He exclaimed patting back. Marilyn breaks the kiss giggling. "Come on papa let's go...", She said taking my hand. I chuckle and turn to Brandon and Jasmine. "Come on you two...Dylan's a little busy....", I joked, glancing at Dylan who was in Nicole's lap obviously trying to flirt. We all share another laugh before heading to the reception. Thing's couldn't be better. This is what I fought for. This is what I won.
