It had been a couple of weeks since Noah had proposed to Luke. Lilly and Lucinda had offered to use everything that had been planned for Noah and Reg's commitment ceremony, all bar a few changes that is.
Both Lilly and Lucinda fussed their way into getting everything just right for both boys, wanting them to remember this day forever. Some to share with their kids in future and grand kids.
"Ok so well wow, only an hour to go and your hair is a mess darling, maybe I should get Jules to come over and …" Lucinda said as she interrupted by Luke
"Grandma I know you mean well, but this is our day and it's perfect already. I can do my own hair and you know I like it in a messy spike anyway. So please just calm down ok. I don't need you having a heart attack or something ok. Just be happy ok" Luke instructed Lucinda.
"Alright then you win. No point fighting is there?" and with that Lucinda gave her grandson a hug and walked out the door leaving Luke to his thoughts.

"Here let me help you with that. We don't want you strangling yourself do we now?" Lilly said as she walked over to help Noah with his tie.
Thinking back this is exactly how he met Luke, well not meet but sealed the deal with the first kiss.
He thought back to that lazy summer day, how Luke just casually walked into the room. Luke reminding him of he's meeting with Maddie, his girlfriend of the time and he's own bigot of a father.
He was running late and was having trouble with his tie
"There all done. God you look so handsome. Now I see why you and Luke are meant to be. I know you never really knew your mother properly Noah but I want you to know that if you need any motherly advice I am here. I always have and always will treat you like a son to me. I know Holden and practically the whole Snyder clan would probably are with me, but also say if you need to run now, then do it FAST" Lilly said chuckling making Noah come out of his day dream
"Ah no, I have done enough running to last me a life time. This is something I want to do. I love Luke, I love you and Holden, or should I say Mom and Dad and everyone. Yeah at times it reminds me of being on a soap drama or something along those lines, but it makes me finally feel like part of a family. It feels right for once finally.
Noah looked at Lilly as she placed her hands on Noah's shoulder "Yes I do know and thank you" she kissed Noah on the cheek as she continued "now we better get out there before Luke or someone calls the army for a search squad or something"
"Well that would be interesting and well I do like a man in uniform" Noah said laughing as Lilly followed him out, she to laughing at his joke.

Luke stood at what was the alter looking out at Snyder Lake. The water was as blue as the sky, almost like Noah's eyes. He was secretly nervous but also excited as he knew that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with Noah. Finally no more pain, no more sadness, no more loneliness, just happiness.
"Not getting cold feet are we" Aaron said walking up to his brother. Luke looked at Aaron and smiled "actually no. I was just thinking how wonderful today truly is big bro and well also seeming as you're here to say thank you for agreeing to be my best man"
"No worries little bro, what are brothers for any way and yeah it was a really good day until he showed up bout ten minutes ago" Aaron said pointing towards Reg who was sitting on Noah's side near the middle in the so called aisle way.
"Who invited him anyways?" Aaron asked looking at Luke. "I did" Luke smiled and waved over at Reg, who did not look to happy but faked a smile and waved back.
Luke turning back to face his brother as Aaron asked "now why would you go and do a stupid thing like that huh?"
"Simple Aaron, as I discussed it over with Noah, we thought it be best to well let Reg finally see that Noah isn't his anymore and that this, what we share is for real and that we are meant to be. We know Reg wants anything and everything to do with trying to spilt us up but it's never going to work. This way he knows that"
"So wait, your going to rub it in his face then to make sure the point gets through" Aaron looked back at Luke a little bit confused but a small smile making its way across his face.
"Ah yeah duh that is the point" Luke smoked a dumb accent and smiled back at Aaron
"Nice bro" is all Aaron could say as music started to play, giving the cue for Noah's entrance down the aisle finally towards his husband to be.

The music started as Noah walked to the centre to be greeted by Lilly, and Holden on his side, with Maddie behind as the flower girl as they called her. Noah turned to all three as he quickly smiled and said "Thank you guys for doing this. It means a lot to me and well to Luke as well"
Maddie smiled back "No worries and anything for a friend Noah" hugging him as Lilly and Holden smiled and hugged Noah too. Lilly now placed at Noah's right, her arm around his arm, with Holden at Noah left, with his arm around Noah's arm to, Maddie starting in front placing flowers in every direction, smiling as all eyes where now squarely on Noah, Lilly and Holden as they made their way to the alter

Once at the alter the Celebrant asked "To whom shall be giving Noah Mayer away to this young man Luke Snyder"
Both Lilly and Holden looked at both boys as they turned their attention back to the celebrant "I Holden Snyder" Holden said with confidence and happiness as Lilly replied "and I Lilly Snyder" smiling to as tears began to well up.
"Thank you, you may all be seated" the celebrant said to the crowd and to Lilly and Holden as Celebrant continued "My name is Dawn and I will be the celebrant today and we are gathered here to witness the long living partnership and bonding of Luciano Eduardo Snyder and Noah Benjamin Mayer into a loving and long last partnership that will stand the test of time. Today ends to separate lives and doors, but it's not in sadness but in happiness. As one big door begins to open and two lives becomes one single bounded life. Traveling through a rollercoaster of emotions. Emotions that will be physical, mental and spiritual. A test and a trial to ensure that this wedlock shall remain forever strong"
"As Family and Friends, you are here today to witness this joint partnership. To witness the bonding they shall now have and become. You shall share their love and passion for each other and witness it intensity and emotions as these two now embark on a path of true happiness and full filling lives"
Dawn continues "Luke and Noah have decided to share their own vows of dedication and love for one another and they will share these vows with us all and prove how strong and binding their love is for each other. I will now ask Luke to start with his vows for Noah" Dawn looked over and smiled at Luke.
Luke looked at Noah. His smiled became bigger and stronger. Looking into his deep blue eyes he began to recite his vows to husband to be. He took a deep breath as he started
"Noah you have always been my rock and my tower of strength. You have always amazed me with just how caring and how considerate you are of others and how you always put yourself last in order to hep anyone in need. You have been there in my best time but also my worst times. I know that there have even been times where I have hurt you and I know that I can never undo that hurt I have caused, but I am glad you are here today and have forgiven me for the many times I have truly ever doubted or even hurt you. You are the one true person who has always meant everything to me. Even in a crowded room or in a large city, just seeing you, looking into those deep blue eyes and seeing the infectious smile you always have makes me weak at the knees and my heart race a million miles an hour"
Luke continued as tear formed still looking into Noah's eyes and holding his hands
"Noah Mayer today I pledge to you my heart and my soul. To care for you in sickness and in health. To be your guidance and support in your times of need and to forever bring you happiness like you have done to me till death do us part. I prove to give you my undying love now and forever. You are my one true best friends, soul mate, lover and boyfriend and I will be glad to finally call you my husband. Today in front of our friends and family I declare my undying love for you and wish to be no longer Called Luke Snyder, but to be known as Luke Snyder-Mayer. I Love you Noah and I always will" tears continued to fall through Luke's eyes and down he's cheeks.
Noah also crying from the happiness and touching words Luke had just spoken. He cleaned his eyes and wiped away Luke's tears as he too took a deep breath and looked into Luke's eye, holding his hands as he said
"Luke, you know that I have never been the best with words but I do have to say that you have always given me the power to show and speak my true feelings. I know that you are still upset at the pain and hardship that have been caused and blame yourself for it, but to tell you the truth you shouldn't as I should too share some of the blame. But there is no point in going over and replaying the past. All we can do is move on, learn from our past and become string people like we have to this day."
Noah continued as he looked again into Luke's eyes
"Today I finally show to both yourself and to our friends and to our family how much you truly mean to me. How much my life has become better and how you have made me into such a better person. Someone who finally is no longer confused but stringer and more understanding. Someone who is your best friend, lover, boyfriend and husband like you are to me. How much my life is better that we are now become a family and becoming one. Today I also no longer wish to be Noah Mayer, but finally become now and forever known as Noah Snyder-Mayer and declare my undying and unconditional love for you Luciano" Noah smiled towards his lover as Luke let out a couple of sobs, tears again falling as Luke
Dawn came back onto the alter a she looked at Both Luke and Noah and then to everyone watching, tears and tissues flowing at the words of love that had just been spoken.
"It is wonderful and powerful for both these two wonderful and truly special people to speak such love for each other. It is rare in this day and age that we can relate to their situation but it shows how much that they have learned and grown into such stronger and more loving couple than before. Now I am going to ask before I get Luke and Noah to declare their love officially with the exchanging of rings, that if anyone has a problem or a reason as to why Luke or Noah should not enter into this declaration of Love and commitment forever, please speak now or forever hold your piece" Dawn spoke out to the crowd as Lucinda walked over to Reg who was just about to stand up and say something as she whispered in his ear "You even think about saying one word my dear and those bits downstairs you rely on shall be gracefully moved forever inside out requiring a surgeon's touch for repair. Do we understand now dear" she looked down at Reg who simply nodded back yes in reply. "Good Lucinda replied as she nodded for Dawn to continue.
"Well if there are no objections then I will now ask both Luke and Noah to exchange rings and begin their final commitment and declaration of love to each other. May I have the rings please?" Dawn said as a five year old Ethan walked up onto the altar with the rings on a re velvet pillow, ribbon holing them to the pillow.
"Thank you Ethan" Dawn said as she smiled and shook his hand. Ethan shaking her hand, smiling and running back to Lilly who smiled proudly.
Dawn looked over at both boys giving them one ring each as she said to all "I am now giving Luke and Noah their rings, which shall bind them together and show true commitment to each other. Luke Noah you may exchange rings, placing them n your partner therefore sealing and proving your love for one another"
Luke looked at Noah as he took his ring and placed it on Noah's finger saying "with this ring I commit to you wholly and purely. Now and forever"
Noah then placed his ring on Luke fingers also saying "With this ring Luke I commit to you wholly and purely. Now and forever"
"Now that both boys have exchanged ring and have now declared their love for each other, finally binding them as one it is my absolute pleasure in introducing Luke and Noah Snyder-Mayer to you all. You may now kiss your husband" Dawn finished as both boys looked at her and thanked her, then to their family and friends before Kissing and embracing each other finally sealing the deal and making them one finally.

The Reception was huge and well spectacular being held at the farm house. Emma was busy fussing over the food while all the children where off exploring around the farm or inside the farm house playing on the Nintendo Wii.
Luke and Noah hard hardly anytime to themselves beside when they finally got a small breather towards the end of the reception, having everyone come up and give them their best wishes and finding out about why the name changes and where they where going to live and what they would be doing in the future. It was all overwhelming for both boys.
Finally getting their little bit of a chance to breath and finally spend some time together Luke kissed his husband long and passionately. Placing his hand on his face embracing Noah as their kiss became deeper until they where interrupted by Lilly clearing her throat.
"Sorry to disturb but I think that the finaly guests are leaving fo the day so you might want to see them but I wanted to actually before you do say how proud I am, well we are of you two. You are fantastic boys and well I am glad you two have finally found happiness"
Noah looked at his mum and then to Noah as he said "thank you Mom. We are glad that you could all be here to finally share this with us. It meant a lot to us both so thank you" he smiled as Lilly just nodded and heading in the direction of the farmhouse.
"So Mr Snyder-Mayer, what you say we go and say good bye to these guests and start our honeymoon straight away in our house finally together as a married couple hmm" Noah said wrapping his arms around Luke's neck.
"Mr Snyder-Mayer you read my mind completely" he replied as they gave each other another kiss before heading back to the farm house to farewell their final guests.
Their day becoming the most memorable and special day for them both. A day they shall never forget and will always cherish to this day. A game of life that no longer has two single players, but one sharing each others lives the way it
