Jared stood, watching the aisle excitedly as the music began to start and the bridal party began to make their way up the aisle. Time seemed to slow and Jared took some calming breaths. Finally, the bridal party was at the altar, and everyone stood.
Jared hadn’t seen Emily for the past day and a half and she looked even more beautiful than she had when they had first met. Her grandfather escorted her down the aisle. Emily hadn’t seen told Jared of her parents death - a freak accident on an airplane. It was the only time during the wedding planning that Jared had seen her cry.
When they arrived at the front, Emily’s grandfather lifted her veil and kissed her on the cheek. Emily hugged him in return. They had decided to forego the giving away the bride speech - but her grandfather stood in as a show that her family blessed this marriage. Jared stepped down and helped Emily up the steps to the altar - taking her hands and looking into those beautiful eyes.
The officiant began his typical wedding speech but Jared was lost in the moment. It wasn’t until Jeremy, his best man, tapped him that he was brought back to reality.
”oh sorry - where are we?” he could feel his cheeks getting warmer which dissipated with the small laugh coming from Emily and the bridal party.
The officiant grinned and repeated ”Jared and Emily, are you ready to proclaim that foundation of love for one another in the sight of these witnesses.”
Both Emily and Jared acknowledged that they were and the officiant continued ”Jared, do you take Emily to be your lawfully wedded wife? Will you honor and cherish her; love, trust, and commit to her, through joy and pain, sickness and health, and whatever life may throw at you both, until death do you part?”
”I do.”
”Emily, do you take Jared to be your lawfully wedded husband? Will you honor and cherish him; love, trust, and commit to him, through joy and pain, sickness and health, and whatever life may throw at you both, until death do you part?”
”I do.”
At this time, Jared and Emilywill exchange rings. The wedding ring is symbol of binding. A symbol of attachment and of belonging, not of possession, but of partnership. You’ve written your own vows?
They both nodded and Jeremy handed Jared the ring and his notes. ”Emily, I never believed in love at first sight, nor fate, until I met you. Word can’t describe the multitude of emotions I felt when we literally ran into each other.” this elicited a small laugh from Emily. ”you are the most amazing woman I’ve ever met. I love
You with everything I am - now and forever.”
He placed the ring on Emily’s finger.
