You and I (A Janoskians Fan Fiction and sequel to Forbidden Love)

Epilogue 1.

27.07.16

The white curtains are billowing in the wind and Katie, Georgia and Gillie look towards me, grinning from ear to ear, I give them an equally as big smile back despite the butterflies that are fluttering in my stomach. I look to my left and link my dad's arm, he looks like he's filling up which then sets me off.

"My beautiful daughter" he murmurs.

"Stop" I giggle.

The three girls turn and walk through the curtains which James and Skip have just opened, I take a deep breath before following them in. All eyes turn to me but I am only focused on one thing, which is my future husband stood at the altar. He looks astounded as our eyes never leave each other's, I hear murmurs across our guests and the faint sound of someone crying, either of our mum's I am guessing but all I can focus on is him. I reach the bottom of the sandy walk way, my dad unlinks my arm and kisses my forehead moving to the side as I turn to look at my partner, my lover and my best friend.

"You look amazing" he leans in and kisses my lips.

The priest coughs and begins, "We are gathered here today to join together Luke Anthony Mark Brooks and Michaela Kimberley Hamby in holy
matrimony. Who gives this woman in marriage to this man?"

My father steps forward slightly, "I do"

The priest continues "If it is your intention to take each other as husband and wife, please unite your hands and step forward"

Luke takes my hand and we take a step forward, his hand is clammy and I'm shaking slightly.

"Okay, Luke you first, if you could repeat after me
I, Luke Anthony Mark Brooks, take you, Michaela Kimberley Hamby, to be my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part" Luke repeats it after the priest, squeezing my hands.

"Okay now Michaela,

I, Michaela Kimberley Hamby, take you, Luke Anthony Mark Brooks, to be my lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part."

"May I have the rings, please?" he looks towards Jai, who's getting the ring boxes out of his pocket, "As a token that you will faithfully perform these vows, you will now exchange rings. The ring is an endless circle: a symbol of the covenant you are making here today. Luke, as you place the ring on Michaela's finger say: 'As I place this ring on your finger, I pledge myself to you. I am yours.'"

Luke repeats "As I place this ring on your finger, I pledge myself to you. I am yours" as he slides the most beautiful ring on my finger.

"And Michaela, as you place the ring on Luke's finger say: 'As I place this ring on your finger, I pledge myself to you. I am yours.'"

I repeat what his says, my voice shaking as I slide his ring on, I look up at him and grin.
"I ask you now, before God, to pledge your love one to the other. Luke will you give yourself to Michaela, to be her husband, to live with her according to God's word? Will you love her, comfort her, honour and protect her and, forsaking all others, be faithful to her so long as you both shall live?"

"I do" he nods.

"I ask you Michaela, will you give yourself to Luke, to be his wife, to live with her according to God's word? Will you love him, comfort him, honour and protect him and, forsaking all others, be faithful to him so long as you both shall live?"

"I do" I smile.

The priest finishes by saying "You have declared your consent before the Church. May the Lord in his goodness strengthen your consent and fill you both with his blessings. What God has joined, men must not divide. Amen."
