Raising Katie

ch. 15

Katie POV

Mark walked me down the aisle. I stared at Ross the whole time. When Mark gave me away I smiled. Ross took my hand and we stood in front of the Pastor.

"We are gathered here today to celebrate Katie and Ross as they become one." the Pastor said. Ross and I smiled at each other. The pastor was still talking but I wasn't paying much attention because I was looking at Ross.

"Ross, go ahead and say your vows." The pastor said.

"Katie, I remember when I first saw you sitting with Lacey on the beach a few years ago. I remember thinking wow. And then I got to know you when we all went to Disneyland. I realized that you were the person I wanted to be with. I want to provide and support you in all of your decisions that you make, I want to care for you when you can't care for youself.." Ross said. I was crying.

"But most importantly I want to make you happy and love you every single day. That is my promise to you.. to love you always." Ross said.

"Katie you may say your vows." The pastor said.

"Ross, before I met you I was a fan but I wasn't a fan who has been to twenty of your concerts because really I never was able to go to any. When we met on the beach that day I knew my life was about to change because I was a girl who was sad, broken, and was trying to provide for my sister. When Lacey saw you she smiled from ear to ear and that made me happy. When you family found out about our story you guys made us feel like family, it was a feeling that I forgot about. You gave that to me and that was all I have ever wanted. I don't know how lucky I am to be with you today because honestly I was just a nobody but you made me feel like somebody. And all I can think about these days is ghat I have a family who loves me and an almost husband who protects me. I love you Ross and I want to be with you forever and I want to support and care fir you when you can't. " I said with tears rolling down my face. Ross was crying to.

"Ross, do you take Katie to be your wedded wife? Do you plan to care for her when she is unable to care for herself? And lastly do you promise to give her your full support and love in everything she does?" The pastor asked.

"I do!" he said winking at me and placing the ring on his finger

"And Katie do you take Ross to be your wedded husband? Do you plan to care for him when he is unable to care for himself? And lastly do you promise to give him your full support and love in everything he does?" The pastor asked.

I looked at Ross and said, "I do!"

I put the ring on his finger.

"You may kiss your bride!!" The pastor said.
