Falling for my neighbor

Wedding Bells

1 year later

Toni paced the room nervously while her mother and Tila tried to calm her down.

"Toni! She's not going to run away from you. She loves you." Tila said, holding Toni in place.

"You love her right?" Tila said.

"Hell yeah." Toni nodded.

"Then you got this. Now get out there and marry the woman of your dreams." Tila said, slapping Toni's cheek slightly.

"Okay!" Toni took a deep breath as she walked out.

------

Toni stood at the front as the music started to play. Everyone stood up, watching as Cheryl step through the door.

"Holy shit!" Toni whispered in awe. Cheryl looked amazing, like utterly fucking beautiful.

Toni's eyes started to become watery as she watched Clifford walk her soon-to-be-wife down the aisle.

Clifford sighed, gently giving Cheryl away to Toni.

"Take care of her, Toni." Clifford whispered before going to stand beside her.

Toni smiled as she turned to face Cheryl as she grabbed her hands.

Toni wiped her face before sniffling.

"We are gathered here today to witness two beautiful souls become one. Antoinette Iris Topaz and Cheryl Marjorie Blossom." The minister smiled.

Cheryl giggled as tears rolled down her cheek.

"Cheryl and Toni, the vows that you are about to make are a way to share your love and commitment to each other in your own words. Sometimes poems, verses and quotes just don't get the point across the way you need them to and the best option is just to do it yourself. These vows are your way of openly declaring your promise to one another as well as to all of those who are here in attendance today." He smiled at them.

Toni cleared her throat, staring into the eyes she fell so deeply in love with.

"Cheryl... You don't know how much I love you. There are times where I feel down when you aren't around and times where I can't stop smiling at the thought of you. I don't know where I'd be if I didn't move here. You are the best thing that happened to me, and I honestly can't wait to start our marriage off today, and for eternity." Toni vowed.

Cheryl wiped Toni's face of tears, before speaking.

"I have so much to say." The redhead huffed. "I can't believe the day has come. It took 2 years but we're here and I couldn't be happier. You are my entire life and world and I wouldn't trade you for anything. I love you so much, and I will continue to love you more and more each day of our married lives." Cheryl vowed.

"Aww." Everyone in the place cooed making the couple giggle.

"Beauiful, Ladies. Now, the rings." The minister said. Tonio handed Toni Cheryl's ring while Betty handed Cheryl Toni's ring.

"Cheryl and Antoinette will now exchange rings to symbolize their commitment. Rings are derived from humble beginnings of imperfect metal to create something striking where there was once nothing at all. It is customarily worn on the ring finger as it is the only finger with a vein running directly to the heart. The wearing of the rings is a visible, outward sign that they have committed themselves to one another." He smiled.

"Antoinette repeat after me." He said.

Toni nodded.

"I give you this ring as a promise to love you, care for you, and hold you when you need me the most."

"I give you this ring as a promise to love you, care for you, and hold you when you need me the most." Toni repeated as she slid the ring onto Cheryl's hand.

"Ahh!" Cheryl squealed excitedly making everyone chuckle.

"Now, Cheryl repeat after me." He said.

He said the same words he told Toni to repeat.

"I give you this ring as a promise to love you, care for you, and hold you when you need me the most." Cheryl repeated sliding the ring onto Toni's finger.

"Amazing. Now, Cheryl and Antoinette you have professed your love by exchanging your vows. You have symbolized your commitment by exchanging rings. With all of this, there is just one more question I need each of you to answer, and then we're off to the reception to celebrate." He smiled as Toni and Cheryl nodded.

"Cheryl Marjorie Blossom do you take Antoinette Iris Topaz to be your wife; to live together in the covenant of marriage? Do you promise to love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all others, be faithful to her as long as you both shall live?"

"I do." Cheryl smiled, wiping Toni's face.

"Antoinette Iris Topaz, do you take Cheryl Marjorie Blossom to be your wife; to live together in the covenant of marriage? Do you promise to love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all others, be faithful to her as long as you both shall live?"

"Hell yeah." Toni said. Tonio tapped her back making Toni clear her throat.

"Uh, I do." Toni nodded.

The minister chuckled before speaking again.

"If there is anyone here who thinks that these two should not be legally wedded speak now or forever hold your peace." He said.

Betty and Veronica glared at everyone in the place making sure no one ruins their best friend's wedding.

"Great. By the power vested in me I now pronounce you wife and wife. Antoinette, you may kiss your bride." He smiled.

Toni's POV

I pulled Cheryl into a passionate kiss, holding her cheek as I did so.

Cheryl smiled into the kiss slightly as we pulled away.

"It's my great honor and privilege to be the first to present to you Mrs. and Mrs. Antoinette and Cheryl Topaz!"

Everyone stood up as they clapped and cheered for us.

-----

"Congrats, Topaz. Your no longer a single gal." Tila smiled.

Toni chuckled, "That's good. Cheryl's with me for the long run."

"So happy for you, Little sis. You have a beautiful wife, a handsome puppy and you're about to start your family. ya no eres tan pequeño." She wiped tears. Toni smiles, hugging her sister. (You're not so little anymore)

Cheryl's POV

"Make some noise for the newlyweds!" Toni's father said as Toni and I entered the room.

"They'll have their first dance as a married couple." He clapped as Kevin shook his head.

"That's my job." He sighed.

Christina Perri's "Thousand years." started to play softly.

Toni smiled as she pulled me closer, letting me lay my head on her chest.

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt, suddenly goes away somehow... One step closer.

"I have died every day, waiting for you. Darling don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years. I'll love you for a thousand more." I heard Toni whisper. I smiled, holding Toni closer.

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything, take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath, every hour has come to this... One step closer.

I leaned up, capturing Toni's lips between mine before laying my head back on her chest.
