She smiles at her beloved Elijah with that slight blush to her cheeks as he took her hands and kissed each one.. Capturing his eyes with hers as they now stood before each other, she sent a feeling of her endless love for him. unbound through the ages from the past, and surely the ages still to come. There came a wave of peace and belonging that seemed to wash over her as he took her hands. She slowly stepped closer to him, pausing a moment before she began, keeping her eyes still in his. A soft, happy sigh escaped her lips as they stood before each other, before everyone. Yet, she only saw him before her.
He was her light in her darkness, her story unwritten. He brought out such wonderful things from her, and she still was unsure if he actually knew just all he truly did for her. She wanted nothing more than to always remain his unfinished manuscript. It was their song to complete, their beautiful story to be shared by them alone. Today, was simply a new chapter in their life they shared with each other and their twin daughters.
She spoke softly to him, and only him; her beloved husband.
"Over a year ago, a piano fated us to meet; with a shared love of song, and words that quickly joined us." Sky smiles softly, touching the side of Elijah's cheek tenderly as she continues, "and then, a year ago, we stood before each other on this very day," she continues looking into her beloved husband's eyes, keeping her hands in his. "Our love is like a sweet melody that has caressed my very soul. Bringing all at once what I thought was shattered pieces, into a beautiful stained glass picture; shining with the light of the evening sun. You have brought back a light where once was such darkness.
As I have looked back upon our year together, I realize that my love grows ever more for you, with each passing day.
As I love you whole-heartedly and unconditionally; your patience and gentleness has created for me an effortless ease for which I find myself falling for you more each day." She lifts his hands up closer to her chest, against her heart and continues,
"I vow to always be your home;
to be your place of comfort and calm;
to be your sanctuary.
To be a place for your peace of mind.
I shall strive relentlessly, to treasure you and guard your heart.
to have faith when our journey is effortless, and to fight harder when it becomes challenging.
I also promise, that when we face adversity, you will never do so alone.
I can only hope in my heart, that I have lived up to all of my promises to you thus far, as I vow anew now, on this day to you, to continue to do so.
I shall always believe in us, in our Faery'sSongs and our story. I believe that our tale has many more seasons to blossom and grow. We still have so many more chapters still to be unfolded, discovered, and written. There is nothing in all the realms that will make me ever stop believing in this. I shall never stop believing in the power that our love can conquer all that stands in our way. I pledge all that I am and my complete love to you, this day, ahora y siempre."
She then turns towards the altar table, and picked up the small knife. She makes a tiny cut on her palm, allowing a few drops to mix in the goblet with what the Gothi and Gythia had blessed for them just that morning. She whispers a prayer in old Faye to the Goddess as she does. She then wipes the blade with the white satin cloth sitting neatly beside the goblet as she finishes and turns back to her beloved Elijah. She slips her hands back into his as she joins him once again, smiling softly with her eyes.
