Alex

It’s a year down the line since we all moved into our new house in Florida. Austin comes over and hangs out all the time, not just because we are very good friends, but because Jack kinda hooked up him up with my sister, and I admit, I didn’t like the idea of it in the first place. But that’s because she’s my sister, of course I wasn’t going to be too excited about it. But I’m happy for them, they seem to really like each other, plus, Austin is really good with Lexi. And it’s even better since Lexi actually likes Austin.

But here I was. Currently standing at a huge door that was about to be opened and I would have to walk down the short aisle to stand in the front of the whole crowd of people, and stand right in front of the man I have choose to spend the rest of my life with.

The door opened and I heard the music start playing and I entered the room, with all eyes on me. I could see little Noah in his little tux in the front holding the little pillow with the two rings on them. Joella was on the other side, the side I will be standing on, standing right in front of Cassadee and my sister holding her little basket of flowers that she, moments before, was tossing onto the white carpet that I am currently walking down. I looked up and met the tear filled eyes of my soon-to-be-husband as he tried to wipe them away with his sleeve.

I reached them all, and Jack took my hand in his as everyone in the room sat down and the minister began to speak. “We are here today, to join these two people in the combining of their lives forever.”

It was finally time for Jack and I to recite our vows. We both wanted to write our own, but we both agreed to go short, sweet, and simple. But, on the other hand, Jack wanted to write up funny and long ones, so we changed it up last minute and that’s what we are kinda going for now.

“I Jack, before these nutter's assembled; take this strumpet, to be my husband, my friend, my lover, my hot water bottle, my companion in life, my enabler in trouble and my poster of bail. I will care for and protect you, nurture you and support you, and tell you when you are being a numpty and adore everything about you. I promise to love you tirelessly through perfect times and the merely fabulous times, regardless of how often you get distracted by something shiny. I vow above all things to remain unchanged in this, even if I should, be momentarily distracted by something shiny myself. I hereby promise to use plenty of lube before trying to poke things in your bellybutton. No promises about your ears though. In the presence of all these nutter- err, our beloved family and friends, who found us despite the several venue changes, I offer you my solemn vow to be your godlike partner and lover; in sickness and in health, despite your hippie frou frou crap, duck squeezing and tree hugging ways. In good times and in bad, and in joy as well as in sorrow, I give you my heart, my love, my soul;. I love you, now and fore- Look! A Bird! Forever.” The man I love spoke, smirking the whole time. I could hear chuckles and giggles from people around the room, as I couldn’t help but giggle as well. “Top that, Gaskarth.” He winked at me.

“I Alex, take you babyfaced one to be my husband, my friend, my lover, my tormentor, my companion in life and my instigator in trouble. I will love you unconditionally, support you in your goals, honor and respect you, without TOO much sass, except on Fridays. I promise to love you faithfully through perfect times and the merely fabulous times, regardless of how often you are ADD, boy. I hereby promise to resist the urge to beat your ass when you are difficult to get out of bed. In the presence of our family and friends who insisted on tagging along, I offer you my solemn vow to be your Brat in sickness and in health, despite your nancy boy whining. In good times and in bad, and in joy as well as in sorrow, I give you my trust, my love, and my soul.” I spoke, having Jack in tears of laughter by the time I was done.

“Okay, okay, you win.” He laughed again, causing more and more laughter in the room. We turned to the minister and he continued on.

“Do we have the rings?” He questioned. Jack reached over to Noah and took the two rings off of the little pillow, handing one of them to me to place on his finger, as he placed the other on mine. “Everyone, I give you, Mr. and Mr. Barakat!” Jack leaned over to me and pressed his lips to mine as we heard clapping and cheering throughout the whole room. This was it. This was our happily ever after.

Notes

And they all lived happily ever after!

And yes, yes I am in love with those vows.
Don't judge me.
