Chapter 90
Liam's Pov
I have been waiting for the love of my life to arrive. I can't wait for her and our daughter, Sophie, to see the whole place transformed into a magical garden. I gave what my little girl wishes for, for our wedding.
She wanted us to be married, Disney style. She wants a fairytale wedding for us, so that's what I did. To make the whole experience more realistic, I rented a carriage for my bride and little Princess. I know she will be very excited and ecstatic to see the carriage.
It's past 6 am, they will soon be here, and I will get to see my bride in her wedding gown. I have been sweating hard even though there's a cool breeze. The dawn is breaking, and the sun is about to shine. Then I heard the hooves of the horses. She's here. My bride is here, and my heart rate quickened.
I saw the carriage stopped at the arch entrance, and my mother-in-law and my little girl stepped down. Bella is still sitting at the carriage, looking around the place in awe. I can barely see her face because it's covered with her veil.
But even though her face is covered with the veil, I know she's the most beautiful woman here. Her long, wavy hair is blown away by the wind. She looked exquisite in her body-hugging strapless gown.
Then the music started, and the entourage is starting to walk down the aisle. My little girl started walking towards me with her beautiful pink gown and basket full of rose petals. She was smiling happily and looked at me with excitement.
When she reached me, I hugged her and kissed her then told her to sit on the chair in front. Then the wedding march started, and my bride stood on the archway with my mother-in-law, who I think is crying at her side.
She walks slowly towards me, and I can't hold my tears any longer—my Bella. My sweet, innocent Bella is walking towards me. As I looked at her smiling sweetly at me, I can't help but thank God for giving her back to me.
She had been through a lot. I've hurt her several times in the past. She raised our child alone, yet she still chose to love me and be with me. If I'm not the luckiest man in the world, I don't know what I am. I vowed here, and now that I will make up for all the tears she shed for me. I will treat her like a queen and will give her the world if I can.
Suddenly, she's in front of me, beaming at me. We stared at each other with so much love. She looks so beautiful. I have no words. Then my mother-in-law tapped my arm and hugged me.
" She's all yours, son. Live a happy life and respect each other. Love and honor each other. That's what makes a marriage last. " She told us, then hugged and kissed Bella. I held my hand for Bella, and she accepted it.
Then we faced the Priest in front of us, and he nodded to both of us, a sign that we are about to begin. The sun is rising slowly from the lake, and the place is enveloped in a soft glow—what a lovely day to wed.
"Heavenly Father, we come before you today grateful and filled with happiness and excitement to witness the union of these two brave souls and amazing couple. Father, hold them in your gentle arms, close to your heart. For this, in the name of Jesus Christ, we pray." The priest started. Then he looked at the two of us and said.
" This is your love story...come true. Your journey of marriage begins with "I DO." Cherish this bond, for it belongs to only the two of you. Start each day with gratitude and compassion for each other, and unconditional love will follow. You will be blessed with the greatest happiness in life. To love and to be loved."
" Now it's time for you to exchange your vows and put the ring on your fingers. Face each other and look into each other's eyes while you say the vows." He ordered.
We faced each other both had tears in our eyes and a heart full of emotions. Bella took the ring and said her vows first.
" Liam, growing up, you've always been just a dream. I've always wondered how it would be like to be loved by you. When I laid my eyes on you for the first time, and when you gave me that dimpled smile, I was a goner." She started, and her voice cracked, but she swallowed the lump in her throat.
" I remember telling myself. Someday, I'll marry this boy. Someday, I will be his Princess and him, my Prince. Then one day I woke up and realized that, that someday is today." She stopped because she's tearing up. I, too, had tears in my eyes, so as everybody.
" You are my today and all of my tomorrows. If I have to do my life all over again, I'd gladly relived all that I've been through if I would still end up marrying you. I'd choose you, even for a hundred lifetimes. I'd chose you. Our journey isn't perfect, but it's ours. And I'll stick with you until the end." She stopped and smiled lovingly at me. I mouthed the word I love you, and she answered I love you, too back at me.
" I give you this ring as a symbol of my love and faithfulness. As I place it on your finger, I commit my heart and soul to you. I ask you to wear this ring to remind you of the vows we have spoken today, our wedding day. This ring is a token of my love. I marry you with this ring, with all that I have and all that I am." Then she puts on the ring on my ring finger with a shaking hand.
She smiled at me, and I can't stop grinning. It's official, I am hers, and she will be mine. I took the ring and held her hand, then took a deep breath and started reciting my vows to her.
" Bella, I can still vividly recall the day Collette brought you to our house for the first time. You were this shy little girl and so adorable. Then I reached for your hand to shake. The moment we touched, I knew that you would be my wife someday." I started.
" I am so sorry for taking this long to make that someday, today. Today I will marry my best friend. The one I laughed with, live for, and dream with. You have given me too much without asking in return. When death threatened to take you away from me, I was devastated." I paused to inhale deeply.
" I can't imagine the pain I've caused you all those years. I would never understand why you still chose to love me unconditionally after all that I've put you through. But for that, I am eternally grateful, and I promise to cherish you, love you, and protect you until my very last breath." I squeezed her hand, and she sniffed.
" Thank you for giving me a beautiful and sweet loving daughter. And for this one, right here." I touched her belly.
" You've given me the world and made me whole. With this ring, I give you my heart. I promise, from this day forward, you shall not walk alone, your heart shall be my shelter, and my arms will be your home. My heart is, and always will be yours."
"I have for you a golden ring. The most precious metal symbolizes that your love is the most precious element in my life. The ring has no beginning and no end, which symbolizes that the love between us will never cease. I place it on your finger as a visible sign of the vows which have made us husband and wife."
"Because this ring is perfectly symmetrical, it signifies the perfection of true love. As I place it on your finger, I give you all that I am and ever hope to be."I placed the ring on her ring finger and kissed it tenderly.
We then faced the priest to bless our rings and our union.
" Do you both pledge to share your lives openly with one another and to speak the truth in love? Do you promise to honor and tenderly care for one another, cherish and encourage each other, stand together through sorrows and joys, hardships and triumphs for all the days of your lives?" The priest asked.
" We do." We answered
" May these rings be blessed as a symbol of your union. As often as either of you look upon these rings, may you not only be reminded of this moment but also of the vows you have made and the strength of
your commitment to each other."
"Go now in peace and live in love, sharing the most precious gifts you have- the gifts of your lives united. And may your days be fruitful and long on this earth. I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." I turned to Bella and lifted her veil.
I caught my breath at how beautiful she looked today. Her face is radiating with the sun shining above us. She looked like a real Princess. I then gathered her in my arms and kissed her passionately. I heard the cheer of all our guests, and Sophie ran to us, hugging us both.
Our parents then joined us, and the priest congratulated us. Our friends came forward and congratulated us as well. Pictures were taken, and soon the festivities begin. We had a barbecue, and arrays of food are laid on the table.
I looked around me and at my wife. All I can think of is how blessed and lucky I am to have all these important people in my life celebrating with us. How I wish my sister were here. She would have been the happiest one.
She made this union possible. She predicted a long time ago that Bella would be my wife. She knew back then that we are destined for each other. She truly is our guardian angel, and I will be eternally grateful to her.
