new beginnings

Chapter 22

alison pov

"By the authority vested in me by American Marriage Ministries and the state of Pennsylvania, I now pronounce you both wife and wife. You can now kiss the bride"

emily smiled, "finally" she breathed out and pulled me into her, enveloping me into the most loving and passionate kiss i have ever experienced in my life. i melted and smiled into emily.

she put her hands around my waist and my arms arounf her neck.

yep. i could stay like this forever. i told myself.

when we pulled away, white flower petals were flying all around.

everyone went to the country club that the hastings' rented for us. me and emily took pictures outside. aria was in charge of the wedding photos.

everyone was dancing and emily and i were sitting at our table, me on her lap. she was playing with my ring and i smiled, "em?"

she looked into my eyes and smiled, "mm?"

i smiled even brighter, "we're married." i said and she smiled and pulled me down to her lips.

"and now it is the moment you have all been waiting for. alison and emily are going to have their first dance as an official married couple! emily, alison." the DJ pointed to the dance floor.

emily smiled and got me to my feet. 

we walked to the dance floor.

she placed her hands on my waist and i layed mine on her shoulders.

"When your legs don't work like they used to before

And I can't sweep you off of your feet

Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?

Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?

emily smiled at me and everyone took out their cameras and took videos and pictures.

And, darling, I will be loving you 'til we're 70

And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23

And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways

Maybe just the touch of a hand

Well, me—I fall in love with you every single day

And I just wanna tell you I am

So honey now

Take me into your loving arms

Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars

Place your head on my beating heart

I'm thinking out loud

That maybe we found love right where we are

i put my head on emily's chest and she pulled me into her, swaying us back and forth to Ed Sheeran's voice. 

she kissed the top of my head and we kept dancing.

When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades

And the crowds don't remember my name
