“I think I’m about to throw up.” Annie said as she was getting her make up done.
“Just breathe, darling. You are going to be fine.” Justin, the makeup artist, told her.
“Right, breath.” She took a deep breath and let the air out of her mouth.
“You should probably eat something.” Sharon said.
“Your friend is right. You need to eat before the weeding, I don’t think you want to pass out while walking down the aisle.”
Meanwhile Andy was at the house running around trying to get Jake and himself ready.
“Come on, buddy.”
“No! I don’t like the jacket!”
“Fine! No jacket, but you have to wear the vest and your bowtie.”
“I look stupid.”
“Hey! Language. Thank god, Annie is not here.” Jake ran to his room. “Jake! Please! Do this for me and Annie, it’s just one day, I promise!”
Jake crossed his arms, “I want ice cream.”
“This is not a negotiation!”
“My terms are final.”
“I get you ice cream if you let me dress you.”
Jake thought for a bit before smiling widely “Ok!”
It was 6:30 when Andy left the house along with Jake in the car.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Please, can someone tell me if Andy is here?”
Annie was ready in the room of the hotel where the wedding was taking place. Pacing around the room with a knot in her stomach.
“I’ll go and check.” Mark said.
Mark was about to leave when Tom walked in.
“Wow!” He looked at her sister lovingly, “You look so beautiful. You look like a princess.” His eyes watered.
“Please don’t cry. If you cry, I’ll cry and that will ruin my make up.” She hugged his brother.
“Yeah, you’re right!” He let out his breath, “Andy is gonna died when he sees you.”
“So, he is here?”
“Of course! I have never seen him so nervous by the way. Not even when he asked for my permission to marry you.” He winked at Annie. “Are you ready?”
“I think so.”
“It’s never too late to run away.” Annie slap him on the chest, “OW! I’m kidding!”
“Let’s go then.”
Annie hooked her arm to his brother’s and left the room, followed by Sharon and Mark.
A couple of minutes later they stood in front of the doors of the hall where all the guests were waiting for her to begin the ceremony.
The wedding march began to play behind the doors and then they open. Everyone were standing there looking at her.
“Breath” Tom said in a low voice and caressed her hand, “Focus on Andy.”
And she did. There he was, wearing a blue tux, smiling and with tears in his eyes. She smiled to him and then they walked.
Andy couldn’t believe what his eyes were seeing, Annie was like a vision, an angel. He could sword there was light coming out of her as he saw her walking down the aisle, she looked perfect; she looked beautiful as always.
Tom handed his sister’s hand to Andy. “Take care of her, will you?”
“I will.” Andy took Annie’s hand, “Hi.”
“Hi.” She smiled.
“Good evening,” The minister spoke, “Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the presence of these witnesses, to join Andy and Annie in matrimony. Their time together, they have seen their love and understanding of each other grow and blossom and now they have decided to live out the rest of their lives as one. If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together - let them speak now or forever hold their peace.” No one said anything. “Marriage is a commitment to life, the best that two people can find and bring out in each other…”
The minister continued as Annie and Andy shared loving looks at each other, not really paying attention to what was happening around them.
“I believe you have written some vows.”
“Yes.” Andy said as he took out a piece of paper out of his pocket. “Annie, I love you with my whole heart. My love for you it’s so great that I can’t express it with words. I promise to be your honest, faithful and loving husband as long as we both live. I will always protect you from harm, to stand with you against your troubles, and to look to you when I need protection.” A few tears were running down his cheeks at this point. He took a breath and continued. “Thank you for being a mother to Jake, for taking care of him, and loving him as if he was your own kid. I couldn’t ask for a better woman to raise Jake with. I love you, and I always will.”
“Annie?”
“Yes,” She turned to take her piece of paper from Mark, “Andy, you helped me when I needed the most. You are my every dream come true, and I can't wait for the reality we get to build together. I choose you and promise to choose you as my husband every day we wake. I will love you in word and deed. I will laugh with you, cry with you, scream with you, grow with you, and craft with you. To be your kin and your partner in all of life's adventures is all I could hope for in the world. Loving what I know of you and trusting what I don't yet know, I give you my hand. I give you my love. I give you myself, the good, the bad, and the yet to come. I love you with all my heart, Andy.”
“Andy, do you take this woman to be your wife, to live together in matrimony, to love her, to honor her, to comfort her, and to keep her in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, for as long as you both shall live?”
"I do." Andy said confident.
“Annie, do you take this man to be your husband, to live together in matrimony, to love him, to honor him, to comfort him, and to keep him in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do." Annie said tearfully.
"Repeat after me, Andy" The minister said the lines and Andy repeat them.
"I, Andy, take you Annie, to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part."
Annie then followed through.
"I, Annie, take you Andy, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part."
“Can we have the rings?” Jake walked towards his dad and handed him the ring, while Sharon did the same with Annie.
"I give you this ring as a token and pledge of our constant faith and abiding love." They both said one at the time as they exchanged their rings.
"By virtue of the authority vested in me under the laws of the State of Massachusetts, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Andy, you may kiss the bride."
“Finally!” He said and got closer to her wife and kissed her.
“I now present to you, Mr. and Mrs. Barber.”
All the guests began clapping as they continued kissing.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“LET’S WELCOME MR. AND MRS. BARBER!!!!!” The singer of the band said through the mic. Everyone cheered and clapped as they walked into the venue. “COME ON! LET’S HEAR IT FOR THE HAPPY COUPLE!” people kept clapping as they moved to the middle of the dance floor. “And now, please everybody take your sits, as the newlyweds will share their first dance together.” The room became silent, “This was a special request from the husband. Annie, this is for you.”
Andy grabbed Annie’s right hand as she placed the other on his shoulder; and the band began to play.
Annie still didn’t know what song Andy had picked for them. He always kept it a secret.
Love I get so lost sometimes
Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
When I want to run away I drive off in my car
But whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are.
Annie listened to the song attentively as they swing back and forth.
All my instincts, they return
The grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
She heard Andy began to sing and turned to see him. He was looking at her, with all the love he had in him. His hand caressed her cheek and she closed her eyes as they hugged each other.
In your eyes
The light, the heat (in your eyes)
I am complete (in your eyes)
I see the doorway (in your eyes)
To a thousand churches (in your eyes)
The resolution (in your eyes)
Of all the fruitless searches (in your eyes).
Oh, I see the light and the heat (in your eyes)
Oh, I wanna be that complete
I wanna touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes.
The song soon came to an end, and they kissed like there was no one around them.
“Congratulations Andy and Annie! We wish you a life time of happiness.” The singer said, “Now let’s get this party started. But first, dinner. Everybody enjoy and we will come back later to keep celebrating our couple.”
“I love you.”
“I love you more, Andy.”
