Chapter 1: Getting Married
Connie looked in the mirror admiring herself. She was getting married to the love of her life, Mike Cutter. She couldn't stop thinking about being married and being 3 months pregnant, she couldn't stop thinking about that her and Mike were having a girl, they kept thinking about their daughter the past few months the day they found out they were having a girl they felt excited at the least, they were nervous about being pregnant but excited.
"This is going to be the best years of our lives, 2012 we're getting married, in 6 more months we're going to be a family. What's next in the best years of our lives?" Connie said to herself
Mike was in the next room and said
"This is going to be the best years of our lives. Getting married, having a family, I get to be the father to my child that I never had. I wanted that father when I was younger and I hope to be that way with my children and my wife"
Mike and Connie both said what the best years of our lives. In unison. They knew they were headed for the best years of their lives, marriage, kids, playfully arguing when their baby would say "mama" or "dada" growing old and growing gray hair until they joke about which kid gave them the gray hair. They just thought of the best years of their lives.
"Ready for this?" Jack asked Mike
"I was ready before this day actually I was ready to marry her the first time I met her, I know that sounds crazy but it's the way I feel about her"
"I was the same way about Claire and then I lost her. Mike if I can give you one piece advice it would be don't let her go, you won the lottery with her"
"I will never let her go"
Mike walked down the aisle where he was next to the beach, it was a perfect sunny warm summer day, he couldn't stop thinking about Connie and the best years of their lives. He then looked at his beautiful bride and thought he was so lucky to have found her, he never thought he would find someone as beautiful, smart like Connie, he thought he had to look forever but he found her. She then came up to him and he said
"You look beautiful"
"Thanks, you look great too"
"I'm trying not to cry because you're so beautiful, I think this will be me when our daughter is born"
"You're a softie"
"Yeah I am"
The minister looked at Mike and Connie and the audience and said
"You may be seated. Dearly beloved we're gathered here today to celebrate the union of Mike and Connie. The wanted to celebrate their love for each other in front of all of you who loved them and supported them all the way. It's too late for anyone to object with this wedding taking place because Connie said so and she's 3 months pregnant"
The audience chuckled and then the minister said
"So the bride and groom will perform their vows, Mike ready for this?"
"Yes, Connie all my life I was looking for somebody who I wanted to spend my life with. Before you came a long I was waiting for that chapter where I found someone that I wanted to spend my life with. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me. You gave me everything I ever wanted, you gave my life new meaning, you gave me a daughter which I'm greatful for. I can't wait for the years ahead because this is going to be the best years of my life. I love you so much"
The minister looked at Connie and said
"Ready Connie"
She looked at Mike and said
"Absolutely. Mike, all my life I wanted someone like you to come into my life. I was unlucky a couple of times trying to find that guy I wanted to spend my life with and then I found you. You're the one I have always wanted to be with. You've given me everything I have always wanted, you, our daughter, our amazing life together. You're always there for me and whenever I'm sad you're always there. I'm so scared for the future but this is going to be the best years of our lives"
Mike looked at Connie and then the minister said
"Ready for the other part of the vows Mike?"
"Yes"
"Repeat after me, I Mike"
"I Mike"

The minister then looked at Mike and said
"Mike do you take Connie as your wife?"
"I do"
And then the minister said
"Connie do you take Mike as your husband?"
"I do"
Then the minister said in excitement
"It gives me great pleasure to say that I now pronounce you husband and wife, Mike you may kiss your bride"
Mike put his arm around her and kissed her then the minister said
"It gives me great pleasure to introduce Mr. and Mrs. Cutter"
Mike and Connie then walked down the isle and then Mike said
"Ready to start the best years of our lives?"
Connie looked at Mike and said
"Do you need to ask me again? My answer will be absolutely"
