About an hour later, Jenna was just about ready to walk down the aisle. She had her pink and white bouqet in hand, with Debby by her side to walk her down the aisle. She was so excited. When she heard beautiful instrumental music, she met her mother's eyes. Debby looked a little teary eyes, and nodded, lacing her elbow through Jenna's. They watched as Roxanne walked Bunny and Peach down the aisle. They had tiny baskets of flowers strapped onto their back, and Roxanne reached in, sprinkling them onto the aisle. Then, it was Jenna's turn. They slowly walked out of the lodge, and began walking down the aisle lined with flowers. All of the guests stared at Jenna in awe, making her blush. Then she saw Julien, and she almost broke down crying. Julien was looking at her, his eyes shiny with tears, trying to hold it together. Finally, they made it to the alter. Debby kissed Jenna on the cheek, and sat down. Jenna stood in front of Julien, and took his hands, her engagement ring glinting in the evening sun. "You look absolutely beautiful" Julien whispered, his voice almost breaking. Jenna was worried she would cry if she opened her mouth, so she just smiled. Whatever the ordainer was saying just buzzed in the background of her head. All that mattered was Julien. Then she heard the ordainer tell Julien it was time for vows.

"Jenna. The past seven years of my life have been beyond words. Indescribably wonderful. I never imagined that when I saw that cute blonde girl walk into that bar I was working at, she would be the one I was standing here with today, marrying. And, I wouldn't have it any other way. There is no one in this world that I would rather be with than you. Not a single soul. Every day, I wake up, knowing that I'm gonna laugh. I'm gonna smile. I'm going to share each moment with the most wonderful girl in the world. The most kind, patient, loving, hard working, and genuine person in the world. We've never exactly done things traditionally, and I love that. Living in LA with four dogs, posting videos as a job, and being in love with a Virgo with six more years of life experience than me. And setting up a wedding in three weeks for god's sake! And I couldn't hope for anything better. I love you Jenna, more than I ever thought I could love a person. And though the seven years have felt like so much more, this is only the beginning of this crazy, beautiful, chaotic adventure of life together." Julien somehow finished without crying. Jenna wiped a tear from her cheek, then reacher her hand out Julien's face, wiping a tear from it, and prepared herself to do her vows. "Standing here at this alter, about to marry someone who makes me feel as happy and fulfilled as I do every single day, is something I never imagined I'd be lucky enough to do. My whole life, I've never exactly had a plan. I've never had my whole life planned out in front of me on some shiny, organized path. I've just let the universe take me where it wants to. It took me to Youtube. It took me to LA. But, most importantly, it led me to you. It led me to the person that would make me the best version of myself. It led me to the person that makes me happier than anyone. I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life until I met you. But now I know. I want to spend the rest of my life laughing with you. And when it gets hard, it'll get hard, but I know it'll be okay, because I have you. I love you so much." Jenna finished, fighting the lump in her throat. Julien was smiling from ear to ear. "Now Jenna, would you repeat after me. I commit myself to you."

"I commit myself to you."

"I promise to comfort you, to encourage you in all walks of life."

"I promise to comfort you, to encourage you in all walks of life."

"I promise to express my thoughts and emotions to you and to listen to you in times of joy and in times of sorrow."

"I promise to express my thoughts and emotions to you and to listen to you in times of joy and in times of sorrow."

"Will you let me share my life and all that I am with you?"

"Will you let me share my life and all that I am with you?" Jenna finished.

"I will." Julien whispered. "Now Julien, please repeat after me." the ordainer said. 

"I commit myself to you."

"I commit myself to you."

"I promise to comfort you, to encourage you in all walks of life."

"I promise to comfort you, to encourage you in all walks of life."

"I promise to express my thoughts and emotions to you and to listen to you in times of joy and in times of sorrow."

"I promise to express my thoughts and emotions to you and to listen to you in times of joy and in times of sorrow."

"Will you let me share my life and all that I am with you?"

"Will you let me share my life and all that I am with you?" Julien finished.

"I will." Jenna promised. "Do you Jenna Nicole Mourey take Julien Noah Solomita to be your lawfully wedded husband?" the ordainer said.

"I do." Jenna said, her voice breaking a little. "Do you Julien Noah Solomita, take Jenna Nicole Mourey to be your lawfully wedded wife?" the ordainer said.

"Oh god yes, I do." Julien promised. "You may kiss the bride!" the ordainer announced. Jenna pulled Julien in, kissing him, knowing that he was no longer her boyfriend, he was her husband. "I now announce for the first time as husband and wife, Mrs. Jenna Nicole Mourey and Mr. Julien Noah Solomita!" the ordainer announced. Everyone applauded as they held hands, and left down the aisle, into the lodge.
