& the two shall become one
This is an abstract from the whole story swirling in my mind. The Lighthouse was also a part of it. I wish to write and post the whole story someday. Once again, English is not my native language so please forgive me for bad english.
I took a deep breath right before the doors opened. Hana handed me the bouquet. Maxwell’s arm kept me steadied as I moved with him through the door. I tried to make eye contact and smiling at a few people. Every eye turned towards me but mine was looking for only those pair of brown eyes. Up ahead at altar I saw him- my future husband, the love of my life, my everything. He stood tall in his blue suit making him handsome than ever. I couldn’t take my eyes off him and he looked into mine. He looked as nervous as me. In that moment, the world stilled. Is this really happening? He tilted his head slightly upwards as if asking “you okay?”. No I am not, please catch me I am going to faint. I nodded and smiled weakly. He smiled too with his eyes shining bright. If I wasn’t mistaken I could have sworn tears filled his eyes.
I was waiting for her at the altar. Her dress, veil, hair, makeup was perfect and she looked so pure and heavenly. When I saw her moving towards me with Maxwell my breath went away, and I sucked in a big gulp of air because she was such a vision. I thought, this is what people mean when they say, She took my breath away. You're not breathing. You're not breathing. You still aren't breathing. Ouch, fuck, why does my chest hurt? Holy shit, there's a huge lump in my throat. She looked nervous too. Hell! I have reasons of getting nervous coz I am a lucky basturd and she chose me of all the men in the world. Why is she nervous? Is she confused? Don’t tell me she doesn’t want it coz I can’t live without her. She is everything. I asked her with little gesture “You okay?”. She nodded. Thank god. She still wanted it. I tried to keep away the water from my eyes.
At the end of the aisle Maxwell said “I ‘m proud of you” and then presented me to my husband to be. He placed my hand in Drake’s and smiled. As a couple, Drake and I stood in front of the priest. Before leaving, Maxwell patted Drake on his shoulder and he nodded. That was their mutual understanding of leaving behind all the grudges in the past. Standing next to my love felt overwhelming. Was this really happening? Will I soon be Mrs. Walker? The minister said to guests, “You can now be seated”. All followed his request.
“Dearly beloved,” he began, “we are gathered here this evening to witness this man and woman join together in holy matrimony.”
He said the speech and then we exchanged vows:
Drake Walker: Brooks. Riley. When we first me I never imagined this day would come. I did not treat you good coz I never wanted to fall in love. But when you broke all the walls I created around myself, I fall in love with you so hard that now I couldn't imagine my life without you. Brooks when I am with you, I am the best version of myself . I feel overwhelmingly lucky and proud to be standing beside you today. Thank you for accepting me even when I am not worthy of you and have failed you many times. Thank you for knowing that I am grumpy and moody sometimes. Thank you for always supporting and loving me, unconditionally, I know I haven’t always made that easy. I know on that fact alone, you’re going to make an amazing mother to our children someday. I vow to always do my best to give more than I take. I vow to continuously work on myself, and to be the man you want and deserve. I can't imagine where I would be without you.
Riley Brooks: Drake Walker, That night at the bar in New York I didn’t know that I was going to meet love of my life. Our start was a li’l bumpy but when I got more of you, I found a loyal friend, a true companion and a fierce protector. Drake, When I look into your eyes I don’t see perfection. You’re annoying, you’re hilarious, you make me yell, you drive me crazy, you’re out of your mind but you’re everything I want. When I look into you, I see someone who will fight for me, protect me and love me like nobody did before. You were the one who almost sacrificed his life for me. I have already fell in love with you a long time ago. I knew I am in love when home went from being a place to being a person. When I look into you I see home, wherever you’re that’s my home. But when you took that bullet for me I gave you the ownership of my life. Drake I would choose you in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I’d find you & I’d choose you. I love you.
We were looking into each other and trying to delay welling tears.
Bartie came forward with his small steps with Savannah holding his hand as The ring bearer and presented the rings. I placed his ring on first, then he placed on mine. I took in the sight of the rings. Oh God, its real. I looked into him and he his eyes were mirroring my emotions.
“With the power vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride.”
Drake leaned in and put his lips on mine. I held the lapels of his suit jacket savouring the kiss. Then he cupped my cheeks and captured my lips completely like he’s never done it before. Everyone cheered for us, however he barely noticed; his full attention rested on me. I couldn’t restrain more and broke into tears and he held me like he always did. He wiped my tears and rested his forehead on mine with his arms holding my back. At that moment, we knew nothing else mattered anymore. What matter is I have you & you have me.
