Married with no choice

Chapter 19

Chapter 19

Today was the day. I was getting married to Will again. He has booked a castle for us. We all were rushing here and there. My bridesmaids, maid of honour and bride's man were all ready. I wore my dress and walked into the room. Everyone's jaws fell to the ground.

"Vans wow!" they said and I laughed. I enjoyed getting married out of choice to him. The wedding organiser called the bridesmaids and everyone assembled. They walked in hand in hand with the groomsmen.

"When the bride is ready," The wedding organiser said and I took a deep breath. This was it. I was getting married to him. I hold my dad's hand and the doors open for me.

It was an outdoor wedding which had a canopy formed by plants. The centre of it was a stage surrounded with water. I walk in and everyone stands up. The brides song starts and I looked at Will. He looked really happy and he had happy tears. I remembered how he said that he wouldn't cry for me when I will walk in the last time we got married and now he was crying.

His eyes didn't even leave me once this time. My dad gives my hand to Will and he leads me onstage.

"Friends and Family of the Bride and Groom welcome and thank you for being here on this important day. We are gathered together to celebrate the very special love between Vanessa and William, 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.

Vanessa and William, 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 humour. So, let your marriage be a time of waking each morning and falling in love with each other all over again," the Officiant welcomed everyone. Will mouthed an 'I Love You' and I returned it back.

"Do you have your vows William?" he asks and he nods.

"When I met you, I had no idea how much my life was going to change. But then, how could I have known? A love like ours happens once in a lifetime. You were a godsend to me, the one who was everything I had ever hoped for, the one I thought existed only in my imagination.
When you came into my life, I realized that what I had always thought was happiness, couldn't compare to the joy loving you has brought me. You are a part of everything I do, everything I think and feel, and with you by my side; I believe that we can overcome anything.
We have already faced a life changing event that most don't experience until much later in life. Although it doesn't seem like it at times, but I consider us quite lucky. Because of this journey that we involuntarily signed up for, I can say with absolute confidence that a year that should have been the worst of my life, turned out to be the best.

I know that sounds unbelievable to those listening, but you and I know what a gift we've truly been given. For me, the gift was your unwavering support. You made me look into your eyes before each meeting and repeat after you, "I'm going to be okay." As I stand here in front of you today, I can look into your eyes and I can promise you that we are going to have a lifetime of being more than just okay.

Because of you, I laugh, I smile and I dare to dream more than I ever have. Thank you for the miracle of you. You are, and always will be, the love of my life, my soul mate, my person," he says and I was in tears.
