Running Away (Sequel to The Runaway)

Chapter 32 - EPILOGUE(mature)

****Liam's POV****

I stared at Niall when I got up to the alter and I just couldn't believe that in a matter of minutes he would no long just be my boyfriend, or my fiancé, no...he was going to be my husband. I held his hands so tightly, and he squeezed them just as tightly back. Niall was smiling the widest and happiest smile I'd ever seen and I bit my lip gently to stop myself from lunging out to kiss the heck out of him...

"The vows please?" the minister smiled and I pulled out the slip of paper from my suit coat with trembling hands and opened it. I took a deep breath as Niall gave me a little nod and a proud looking smile. 

"Who would've known that the boy I met online 2 years ago would be the man I'm standing in front of today to give him the vow that I'm his for the rest of my life? Although we've been torn apart and been through hell, fate brought us back together every time to show us that we're perfect for each other and meant to be together for eternity. I never thought I could find love like this, but now that I have, I don't think there's another person in the entire world I'd ever want to share my love and life with than you Niall. I love you more than any words can express and I could honestly fill hundreds of books of me and my love and vows to you, but for now I'll just keep it simple and say that I love you with every single inch of my heart and can't wait to start the rest of my life with you as not only my best friend, but my husband," I managed to blubber out and by the end, I was in tears. Niall quickly reached out to wipe them away and nodded and smiled. 

"That was beautiful, so incredibly beautiful. I love you so much," he whispered whilst wiping those tears and even saw a few tears falling from his eyes. I could see how badly he wanted to kiss me, but he refrained and straightened back up as he began reading his vows to me.

"What can I possibly say to you Liam that could sum up how incredibly lucky and happy I am to be able to marry the man who changed my entire world and brought me into his with open and loving arms? There aren't enough words in the world to express my undying devotion and love to you. I'm honestly glad that you were the one I had to 'rob' because...I don't think I could imagine my life without you. I didn't know what love or happiness was until I met you Liam. I didn't know anyone could be so kind and loving and generous, but then there was you. I didn't even really know I was gay until I met you! We've been through just the absolute worst, and I wish I could take everything back that has ever hurt you, but everything that happened in our past made us who we are today, and as much as the past hurts, it's over now, and what matters now is us, right here, right now, getting to marry each other and to start our wonderful future together and I honestly can't wait. I could stand here and go on for hours and keep talking to you, but I have a feeling these people are getting hungry and I kind of just want to marry you already, but before I do let me just tell you that I am so freaking madly in love with you," he grinned through tears while I tried to hold myself together and not start sobbing again. I saw a lot of people in tears as well, not knowing Niall was such a sensitive and emotional person and was capable of such beautiful words. 

"The rings please," the minister grinned and I quickly wiped my face as I held the ring in my very unsteady hand and Niall held mine in his somewhat shaking hand. I moved my hand out as Niall put his up and I felt my heart pounding. 

"Niall, I give you this ring in token of my commitment and love," I blubbered out as I slid the ring on Niall's finger and smiled so widely my cheeks were burning, but I didn't even care. Niall bit his lip and glanced up at me as I prepped my hand and waited for the minister to instruct Niall as he had done to me.
