(Jason's point of view)
I didn't like stand in front of all of these people. I looked at the door. I watched as everyone came down the aisle. Then the doors closed. I stared willing them to open. Then the music changed and the doors once again opened.
Elizabeth looked amazing. The dress was prefect for her. She smiled as she and Steven came closer. I couldn't help smiling back at her. Suddenly it was like no one else existed.
"Who give this woman to this man?" Father Coates asked.
"Our Grandmother and I." Steven answered.
"Please place Elizabeth's hand in Jason's." Father Coates said.
"I love you Lizzy." Steven whispered kissing her check.
"Love you too." She whispered back.
"Take good care of her." Steven said sternly as he shook my hand.
"I promise." I said.
"We are joined here today for the uniting of two souls in the home of the lord. Jason and Elizabeth we pray for your marriage and for you. Bless it be. Now Nikalos has a poem to read. Father Coates said.
"I will be reading a poem from Sonnet 116 - by William Shakespeare.Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments.
Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds,
or bends with the remover to remove:
Oh, no! It is an ever-fixed mark.
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
it is the star to every wandering bark,
whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool,
though rosy lips and cheeks within his bending sickle's compass come;
love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
but bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved." Nikalos read.
"Now it is time for the vows. Jason repeat after me I, Jason Quartermaine Morgan, take you, Elizabeth Imogene Webber, to be my wife, my constant friend, my faithful partner and my love from this day forward. In the presence of God, our family and friends, I offer you my solemn vow to be your faithful partner in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, and in joy as well as in sorrow. I promise to love you unconditionally, to support you in your goals, to honor and respect you, to laugh with you and cry with you, and to cherish you for as long as we both shall live." Father Coates said.

"Wow that's really long I hope I don't mess up." Elizabeth said making everyone laugh.
"You'll do fine." Father Coates said smiling.

Elizabeth said as she teared up.
"Now the rings. A ring is an unending circle. It has no beginning or ending. Much as the love of this couple." Father Coates said.
"With this ring I thee wed." I said slipping the ring on Elizabeth's finger.
"With this ring I thee wed." Elizabeth said slipping my ring on.
"Those, whom God has joined together, let no man put asunder.
In so much as Jason and Elizabeth have consented together in holy wedlock, and have witnessed the same before God and this company, having given and pledged their troth, each to the other, and having declared same by the giving and receiving of a ring, I pronounce that they are husband and wife. Seal the promises you have made with each other with a kiss." Father Coates said.
"Finally." I said a little louder than I meant to making everyone laugh as we kissed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Jason Quatermaine Morgan." Father Coates said as we walked down the aisle at cheering family and friends.
