Because of Joe

Chapter 44

Chapter 44

Joe kept my hand in his and he always stroked my thumb even if I had the lace between us I still felt his electrifying feeling. "Do you Joseph Jonas take Anne Rivon to be your

lawfully wedded wife?" Joe's hand closed around mine mine keeping my fingers inside his hand and I looked up at him. There was a smile on his face and his eyes were a sparkling hazel color.

"I do." He says and the celebrant faced me.

"Do you Anne Rivon take Joseph Jonas to be your lawfully wedded husband?" I felt Joe's hand go still. He's looks at me waiting. Everyone waiting for my answer. Two heart beats. 3 heart beats.

"I do." I said and smiled up at him. He does the same and his grip loosens. Everyone let out their held breaths and I know Joe's shoulders relaxed.

We were almost done. All the anticipation. My ring bearer one of my friend's son came up with the rings on the pillow. Joe took the ring off the pillow holding it gently in his hand as if it was so fragile. It was a gold band with a faint design of roses. "I have for you a golden ring. The most precious metal symbolizes that your love is the most precious element in my life. The ring has no beginning and no ending, which symbolizes that the love between us will never cease. I place it on your finger as a visible sign of the vows which have made us husband and wife. " Joe takes my hand and slips the ring on gently and I was smiling like an idiot. Then I picked his ring up.

"I have for you a golden ring. The most precious metal symbolizes that your love is the most precious element in my life. The ring has no beginning and no ending, which symbolizes that the love between us will never cease. I place it on your finger as a visible sign of the vows which have made us husband and wife." I took Joe's hand gently and slipped on the gold wedding band on his finger. Only a few more...

It's close to the end.

I'm going to live happily ever after.

"You may now kiss the bride." The celebrant finally said after his final blessings. Joe turns to me and lifts my veil off my face. He gently caressed my cheek and when his lips touched mine everyone cheered and there was flashing lights of the cameras, people clapping and throwing up the flower petals. His kiss was like the seal and I offered my whole self to him. I was now his wife and he was now my husband.

"I love you." I whispered on his lips and he smiles.

"I love you Mrs. Jonas." He takes my arm and we went down the steps and faced the audience. Both our moms were wiping their tears. Nick, Kevin, and Frankie were cheering for their brother.My brother was clapping and I shook my head at him as he made this funny face. Ilani was smiling so proudly and she dabbed her eyes. As I walked down the aisle with Joe by my side hooking my arm in his. everyone threw petals from white roses. I was smiling so much my cheeks hurt and my heart was swelling with so much happiness. Photographers started taking our pictures. Joe kissed my temple as we stood posing outside the church. Our family and friends came out following us and gathering together to get our pictures taken. The wedding reception was going to take place at a manor upstate.

"Joe you look so handsome." I kissed him again.

"You look so beautiful." He whispered. We took a short pictorial right outside and everyone started getting into their cars to get to our reception. There was this one picture Joe sweeped me off my feet and I shrieked in surprise. My gown was too heavy for him to carry but he did it anyway. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed his cheek as the photographer took the picture. Another picture I was planning on hanging in our new apartment. It was with Joe wrapping his arm around my waist and I was holding on to him with my head on his shoulder. That one was probably the cutest. My family and his came into one big family wedding portrait. It was adorable. I loved everything about it. It was freezing but I didn't care. Joe helped me into our tan colored vintage car. The bumper was decorated with white and baby blue flowers. Joe wanted this car to be at our wedding. Both our family rode in one long limo and I was with my Joe.
