It's my day

I look at my bridesmaids and maid of honor, holding my flowers tight. We walk across the street, listening to the honks of the cars around and people chattering. We head to the park with my father already there. 

"Hey daddy"I call out and he turns around

"Oh my Noel"He cries 

"Oh dad don't cry"I tear up

I walk over to him hugging him tight

"Hone-"I hear my mom call for my father

I turn around and see her

"Oh my baby girl" She cries

"Oh mom"I tear up

"You look so beautiful" She cries

"Thank you"

I hug her tight before Liz comes over fixing my makeup

"It's time"The wedding planner smiles

I squeeze my father's hand and take a deep breath, I look at the girl get into a line, ready to start. Bell hurries to the front, as she is my flower girl 

"I'm ready"

The music begins and the girls start walking

I look at my father and smile big "I love you"I whisper

"I love you too my baby girl"

It's time and the music tone changes before I start walking down the aisle. I smile at everyone not before looking at Joshua who has tears in his eyes. I try not cry, as I already had earlier, and keep walking with my father. I see my babies already there, one in Jackie's arms and one in Micheal's. 

We reach the alise and my father kissing my cheek before helping me lift my veil up. The guy speaks up and asks if he allows, and then asks if anyone there objects. Both of 

"We are gathered here today to celebrate with Joshua and Noel as they proclaim their love and commitment to the world. We are gathered to rejoice, with and for them, in the new life they now undertake together. Joshua and Noel, the relationship you enter into today must be grounded in the strength of your love and the power of your faith in each other. To make your relationship succeed it will take unending love. It will take trust, to know in your hearts that you truly want what is best for one another and to learn and grow together. It will take faith, to go forward together without knowing what the future holds. If you both come freely, and understand the responsibility and work involved to make your relationship thrive, and are committed to not only each other but your family, please take each other by the hands." 


Now place the ring on her hand and repeat after me... with this ring, I promise to stand with you as we share this life, and cherish the memories we make together.

, repeat after me:

, you are my best friend and everlasting companion. You have brought me the truest happiness I have ever known. I take joy today in committing my life to yours.

Now place the ring on his hand and repeat after me.... with this ring, I promise to stand with you as we share this life and cherish the memories we make together.

We nodded out 

"Joshua Sean, your vows"

"Today, Noel, I join my life to yours, not merely as your husband, but as your friend, your lover, and your confidant. Let me be the shoulder you lean on, the rock on which you rest, the companion of your life. With you, I will walk my path from this day forward. In your eyes, I have found my home. In your heart, I have found my love. In your soul, I have found my mate. With you, I am whole, full, alive. You make me laugh. You let me cry. You are my breath, my every heartbeat. I pledge to listen to your advice, and occasionally take it. I pledge to never keep score...even if I'm totally winning. I pledge to always admire your huge, strong, kind, and determined heart. I pledge that I will love you. You know me better than anyone else in this world and somehow still you manage to love me. You are my best friend and one true love. There is still a part of me today that cannot believe that I'm the one who gets to marry you. You look so beautiful to me today, but know that you always look beautiful to me and will always be this beautiful to me, tomorrow, and the next day and the next. As gorgeous as you are right here and right now, I will only love you more and more each day of our marriage. I promise to be your faithful husband. I vow to love you when the sun shines, when the rain falls, in sickness, and in health, through good times and bad. When you look at this ring, think of me and remember that I love you always. Our love is unique because we are unique. Together we make something that has never been seen before. Together we make a force that holds the power to stand against any disaster, an engine of love the likes of which the world has never seen. Take my hand and as your husband, I vow to begin our journey in honest and true devotion. What is a husband? I must admit, I'm not sure. All I know is that I am devoted to you completely and am made a better person because of your love. A husband then is a thing that a good marriage makes, molds, and creates a whole. If that is what a husband means, then I am prepared to be yours. 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."
