You had breakfast with Michael that morning per his request, he slides a fancy envelope in your direction. You
open it to reveal a wedding invitation. You blink in shock as you see your name and Michael's in gold print, “we are getting married!” you called in a rather shocked response. “I told you many years ago I would protect you, I know it's come as a shock Y/N but we are truly meant to be together.” You shook your head, there was no way in hell that this was happening. You attempted to get up but he grabbed your wrist, you look up to meet his expression you found no matter how mad you were at him you couldn't be mad at him no matter how hard you tried. A single tear slid down your cheek, taking his thumb Michael wiped it away, “I know your scared I can see it in your face but please trust me this is the right thing to do.” Y/N took in a deep sigh “ I sure hope your right Master Langdon.” He extended a hand to you “please trust me Y/N all will be ok.”
*******************************************
December 31, 2018 wedding day….
It was a quiet ceremony just you Michael and a priest in the remote Australian desert. You were adorned in a cream colored gown with black lace, Michael in a black tux.
Pastor:
We are gathered together to celebrate the very special love between Y/N and Michael, by joining them in marriage.
All of us need and desire to love and to be loved.
And the highest form of love between two people is within a monogamous, committed relationship.
Y/N and Michael, your marriage today is the public and legal joining of your souls that have already been united as one in your hearts.
Marriage will allow you a new environment to share your lives together, standing together to face life and the world, hand-in-hand.
Marriage is going to expand you as individuals, define you as a couple, and deepen your love for one another.
To be successful, you will need strength, courage, patience and a really good sense of humor.
So, let your marriage be a time of waking each morning and falling in love with each other all over again.
One of my favorite authors once wrote, “If love is not all, then it is nothing: this principle, and its opposite, collide down all the years of my breathless tale.”
Michael took your hand in his…
"I promise to love and care for you, and I will try in every way to be worthy of your love.
I will always be honest with you, kind, patient, and forgiving.
I promise to try to be on time.
But most of all, I promise to be a true and loyal friend to you.
I love you."
"I believe in you, the person you will grow to be and the couple we will be together. With my whole heart, I take you as my wife acknowledging and accepting your faults and strengths, as you do mine. I promise to be faithful and supportive and to always make our family's love and happiness my priority. I will be yours in plenty and in want, in sickness and in health, in failure and in triumph. I will dream with you, celebrate with you, and walk beside you through whatever our lives may bring. You are my person—my love and my life, today and always."
"You have been my best friend, mentor, playmate, confidant, and my greatest challenge. But most importantly, you are the love of my life and you make me happier than I could ever imagine and more loved than I ever thought possible. You have made me a better person, as our love for one another is reflected in the way I live my life. So I am truly blessed to be a part of your life, which as of today becomes our life together."
"You are my lover and my teacher,
You are my model and my accomplice,
And you are my true counterpart.
I will love you, hold you, and honor you,
I will respect you, encourage you and cherish you,
In health and sickness,
Through sorrow and success,
For all the days of my life."
“Today I affirm my love for you, and vow to share my life with you in everything—to respect and love you. You are the most generous person I have ever known—kind, honest, and beautiful. I take you to be my wife to have and to hold, in sickness and in health. From this day forward you shall be first in my heart and our souls shall be together as one.”
“I love your sense of adventure and the way you always brighten my day. I vow to join with you in this journey as your wife with an open heart and to make even the smallest of our accomplishments—eating breakfast or changing a light bulb—into an exciting part of our lives together.”
"I promise to be your lover, companion, and friend,
Your partner in parenthood,
Your ally in conflict,
Your greatest fan and your toughest adversary,
Your comrade in adventure,
Your student and your teacher,
Your consolation in disappointment,
Your accomplice in mischief.
This is my sacred vow to you, my equal in all things. All things."
Pastor: please give each other the rings and repeat after me
Michael, wilt thou have Y/N to be thy wedded wife to live together after God's ordinance in the Holy Estate of matrimony? Wilt thou love her Comfort her honor and keep her, in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others keep thee only unto her as long as you both shall live?"
Michael: I do
Y/N wilt thou have Michael to be thy wedded husband to live together after God's ordinance in the Holy Estate of matrimony? Wilt thou love him? Comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others keep thee only unto him as long as you both shall live?"
Y/N: I do
Pastor: with all power vested in me I pronounce you Husband and Wife you may now kiss your bride.
Michael leaned in touching Y/N's forhead to his, his lips gently touching yours. A sweet yet sensual kiss, it held and ernest longing almost. “I love you Michael.” Your voice stated a shaky whisper. “I love you too sweet Y/N.”
