PLAY SONG WHEN KEEGAN WINKS TO LOGAN! NOT NOW! :)

~~~

Keep yourself together, Hailey. I told myself silently.

"Hailey," a faint voice said and I felt a hand touch my wrist. "I'm here."

Looking slightly up and to my right, I saw Merrick. No, he wasn't real, but his ghost was standing next to me. Smiling slightly, I felt him grip my forearm.

"Walk, I'll be right next to you the whole way," Merrick breathed on my hair.

Sighing, I felt myself take a step forwards. I paused and then took another step. Finally, I knew my feet had started to carry me across the green grass to where everyone stood, looking back at me. When I met Keegan's gaze, I felt a shiver down my spine. He smiled to the side slightly, holding his hands in front of his gray tuxedo. I felt Merrick's ghost hand touch my back and press me forwards.

I'm surprised Keegan couldn't hear my heart beating right now. My nerves made my hands shake even more. People sat down once I reached Keegan.

As Merrick helped me step next to Keegan, I saw him lean over and whisper, "Take care of her, Keegan P. Russ." I think Keegan heard him, because his face froze for a moment.

Brianna took my flowers from me as I handed them to her. Taking my hands in his, Keegan blinked. "Friends, we have joined here today to share with Keegan P. Russ and Hailey J. Jones an important moment in their lives. Their time together, they have seen their love and understanding of each other grow and blossom and now they have decided to live out the rest of their lives as one. If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together - let them speak now or forever hold their peace," the priest said rather loudly so that everyone could hear.

No one said a word and the priest continued, "The rings please." Logan stepped up to give Keegan mine while Brianna gave me Keegan's. We slipped them on each other's hands and then Keegan grabbed my hands again.

"Please repeat after me," the priest looked towards Keegan. "I Keegan Russ."

Keegan opened his mouth and the words that came out sounded so soft, "I, Keegan Russ."

"Take you, Hailey Jones."

Keegan didn't take his eyes off me and I seemed to be frozen. "Take you, Hailey Jones."

"To have and to hold, to love and to cherish."

"To have and to hold, to love and to cherish."

"For better or for worse."

"For better or for worse."

"For richer, for poorer," the priest blinked.

"For richer, for poorer."

"In sickness and in health."

"In sickness and in health."

"I will trust you and respect you," my hands were starting to shake and Keegan squeezed them gently.

"I will trust you and respect you."

"Laugh with you and cry with you."

A smile tugged at Keegan's lips, "laugh with you and cry with you."

"Loving you faithfully through good times and bad."

Keegan repeated the words, squeezing my hands as they shook again.

"Regardless of the obstacles we may face together," the priest went on.

"Regardless of the obstacles we may face together."
