This is a day of great celebration, for a married life, a shared life, it is a great blessing. As Kate and Seth embark on this journey together they will be able to nurture a love that makes them better versions of themselves. Marriage is a garden we sow with love, and harvest in personal growth. Remember on your journey together, keep your spouse in the space of highest priority in your heart. The love that you share must be guarded and cherished forever, for it is your most valuable treasure. Remember this day the day you stood here and proclaimed your love for one another the day you became one with each other." The officiant said.
Kate and Seth looked into each others eyes and their hands were connected.
"You have chosen to write your vows, and it is with these words you express your binding promises to love, honor, and cherish one another. If you are ready to make these promises to each other I invite you now to face each other and declare your intentions. Seth when you're ready you may begin."
Seth took a deep breathe in and began to speak. "The year was 2014 and this young very beautiful medical assistant came into me life. I was captivated by you the second I saw you. I never truly knew what love or happiness was until I finally got you to go out with me. Which let me assure you was no easy task but it was worth it. Katie you make me want to be a better man. To be the best husband and father I can be because I know with you by my side we can do it all baby. So today I stand before you vowing my love and faithfulness to you. I will love you now until the end of time. I promise to always get you a strawberry banana shake when you ask. Even if we are in the middle of Scotland and there is nothing around for miles." He smiled and winked at Kate while giggles were heard from their friends and family.
Kate was in tears but giggled at that.
"Kate when you are ready." He officiant said.
"Seth! I thought I would have a million things to say on the day I finally got married. But you, you make me speechless. You still take my breathe away. I have made so many bad choices in my life and you just talked me through them. You saw past all that to see the real me. Sometimes when I don't even know what that looks like some how some way you know. You know the real me. So I stand here today in front of you pleading my love, honor and devotion to you Seth I vow to be faithful and love you now until forever. I promise to support you in and out of the ring. I also promise never interfere with your love for coffee and if there's only one doughnut left, I'll let you have it." Kate said tears in her eyes as giggles were heard.
"Your wedding rings are special; they enhance who you are. They mark the beginning of your long journey together. Your wedding ring is a circle, a symbol of love never ending. It is the seal of the vows you have just taken to love each other without end. Seth place this ring on Kate's left hand and repeat after me. With this ring I thee wed." He said.
Seth smiled took the ring and as he placed it on Kate's finger he said. "With this ring I tee wed."
"Kate place this ring on Seth's left hand and repeat after me. With this ring I tee wed."
Kate smiled took the ring and as she placed it on Seth's finger said "With this ring I tee wed."
"And now by the power vested in me by the great state of South Carolina it is my honor and delight to declare you married. I guess you'd like to seal the deal with a kiss?" He joked to Seth.
"Hell yeah I would!" Seth blurted out as everyone laughed.
"Seth you may kiss your beautiful bride." He said but before he finished his full sentence Seth had already pulled Kate close into a deep passionate kiss.
"It's my pleasure to introduce to you for the first time Seth and Kate Rollins."
As the music started Seth and Kate walked down the aisle as a happy married couple.
Later that Evening.
The reception was in full swing. Guests were enjoying the party the food, the drinks and dancing.
"Could you have made these brides maids dresses any shorter?" Kelly joked coming off the dance floor in her halter just above the knee black dress.
"It's not short at all and you look great. Besides your husband can't stop staring at your ass." Kate smile waving to Lane who was off getting a drink with Seth.
"He's just wants to get what's under the shirt." She said. "It's been three weeks he's going a little nuts. Three more to go." Kelly said as they both laughed. "He thinks he wont make it. How are you feeling?"
"I am good. Just really tired these days." Kate admitted.
"For the record I want you to know how happy I am for you and Seth. The kids having a little cousin is going to be awesome. But I am not gonna lie and say I am not scare out of my mind for you." Her sister told her.
"I know but we aren't going to talk about that tonight. Tonight I am just a bride enjoying her wedding deal?" Kate smiled at her sister.
"Deal." She said hugging her. "So can we have cake then?"
"I could eat cake. Where is Seth?" She asked looking around.
Seth and Lane had just gotten another drink and were talking near the bar.
"Told ya Seth these Callaway's throw a hell of a party." Lane said.
"I see that. Is that a Southern thing?" He joked.
"Yeah that's it. Not to mention Ridge loves his kids so go big or go home. I will say it's smaller than Kelly's wedding ours was WAY to big and well you were at Ethan's." Lane smiled.
"I saw photos from you wedding Gone with the wind theme right?" Seth laughed.
Lane rolled his eyes. "Never again."
Seth chuckled as he glanced over at Kate. He couldn't help but think to himself how lucky he was to be married to the most beautiful girl in the world.
"We got it back for the Callaway girls." Lane said with a laugh.
"Never knew a girl could make me this damn happy. I sound like a sap." Seth admitted.
"Love makes us all that way bro." Lane smiled as Kelly came over and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Seth Kate would like to cut the cake now." Kelly said. Seth smiled and headed over to Kate who was talking with her mom.
"Hello beautiful." Seth said kissing her softly.
"Hi handsome." She smiled kissing him back. "Ready to cut the cake?"
"I could eat cake. Then you." He whispered. Kate giggled as her Mom and Dad got the guest attention. As Seth took the knife and cakes hand as they cut the cake together. Kate then fed Seth a large piece of cake and shoving it in face as Seth did the same to Kate. They both smiled as they kissed one another.
"I thought we agreed to be nice." Kate joked taking a napkin to clean off her face.
"I was nice." Seth smiled kissing her again and then cleaning off his face as well. "That cake was damn good too." He said taking another bit as he fed Kate a little more.
"It really is." She smiled. "Thank you."
"For what baby?" He asked.
"Marring me! Loving me. This life." Kate told him.
"Loving you is easy and you being my wife is the cherry on top." He smiled as they hugged and kissed again this time he deepened the kiss.
"You about ready to get out of her?" Kate smiled.
"Yes." He grinned raising his eyebrows up and down.
When the DJ began to Ed Sheeran's "Perfect."
"One more dance first?" Kate asked with a smiled.
"Of course." Seth smiled taking her hand to the dance floor and pulling her close as the other couples were also slow dancing.
"Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets To carry love, to carry children of our own We are still kids, but we're so in love Fighting against all odds I know we'll be alright this time Darling, just hold my hand Be my girl, I'll be your man I see my future in your eyes."
Seth held her close and kissed her softly staring into her eyes as they danced. "I love you with everything I am Kate Rollins. I meant every word today it's you and me against the world."
"I love you too. I wouldn't want it any other way. You have me Seth all of me. I also meant what I said I will support you no matter what. It's just the three of us now." She said kissing him back and taking his one hand and placing it on her belly. In that moment the world around them melted away and it was just them on that dance floor cherishing this special moment together.
The next morning.
Kate was exhausted as she was sound asleep in Seth's arms. He just spent time staring at the beautiful woman in his arms he now called wife.
"I love you Kate Rollins!" He said softly kissing her.
"Morning husband. I like the sound of that." She smiled into the kiss.
"Me too wife!" Seth grinned giving her a deep passionate kiss his hands roaming her body.
"hmm we.. we have to go to my parents house for breakfast." She moaned softly as he began to nibble her neck.
"Damn it. I would rather just have sex with my sexy wife." Seth stated.
"Really?" Kate giggled reaching between them and feeling his hard length.
"Really really." Seth smiled getting on top of Kate.
"I love you husband." She grinned wrapping her arms around him kissing him.
"I love you wife." He said as he entered her.
They looked into each others eyes as they made love.
At Kate's parents house.
Lynnette was almost done making breakfast. When Ethan and Leslie came in.
"Newlyweds not here yet?" Ethan asked taking a piece of bacon as his mother slapped his hand.
"No they're not. Wait until they get here." She told him.
"Fine." He laughed as his phone went off as he looked at his text message and it was from Trent.
"Who is it?" Leslie asked.
"Trent." He whispered.
"You better get rid of him before your dad finds out. I am guessin' he is still pissed at him."
"Yeah I know distract them so I can get him to leave." Lane said as he went outside to meet him.
"Dude what the hell are you doing her?" Ethan asked.
"I came for breakfast."
"Dude my dad is still pissed at you for the other night. Hence why I told you not to come yesterday."
"Bro I thought it'd blow over by now." Trent said.
"No man. He is really pissed. He doesn't even want you to help with the plantin' next week." Lane said looking around to make sure they were still alone.
"Come one he has to know I am right. She can't handle this. Why am I the only one who is worried about her? You let her marry that pussy." Trent said.
"Dude you don't think I am worried about my little sister. Hell yes I am. I was there at the hospital with her every day watching her fight for her life. I am the one who let you back in to our lives. I know it was an accident and I felt partly responsible because I am the one who bought you and Cole all that alcohol. Look bottom line here bro is that she loves Seth and I have never seen my sister happier. You need to except that because right now you are acting like a puss yourself. I get you are scared for her I am too. But I have to think that my sister knows what she can and can't handle. So you need to leave it the hell alone."
"Rollins is the one that did this to her. This pregnancy is gonna kill her and Ya'll like Seth is the best thing to happen to her when the reality is this is gonna be worse than that accident and ya'll can't even see it." Trent said.
When Seth and Kate pulled up to the house seeing them in a heated conversation.
"What the hell is he doing here?" Kate growled.
"Don't let him get to you baby." Seth told her as they got out of the car and Seth held her hand.
"Hey sweet pea." Trent said to Kate.
"Did you come to apologize to me and my husband?" Kate asked.
"Katie. I am sorry for what I said at the rehearsal dinner. You were right that wasn't the time or the place. But I can't say sorry for what I said because I'm not. I stand by what I said. We all were there after the accident. You were fighting for your life. You almost broke your back. You head to have surgery to repair your heart and a list of other things do I need to go on?" Trent said.
"Trent stop it! You don't need to stand there and tell me what happened I was there I know. I fought like hell after every surgery and all the therapy. I know what my body went thru because of you." She said.
"Well he doesn't!" Trent said pointing to Seth. "He doesn't care what this is going to do you."
"Shut the hell up!" Seth said getting angry and getting into Trent's face. "Back the fuck up asshole. Don't talk about me or my wife. I may not have been there when you almost killed her but I am not you! I wont let anything or anyone hurt her or our baby. I know there are risks but that is none of your damn business."
"Katie is my business." Trent said body checking him.
"She's my wife so no its not your business. I will do whatever I have too to keep them both safe. Something your southern dumb ass couldn't." Seth said body checking him back.
"Seth baby please." Kate said softly grabbing his arm as Trent pushed him.
"Dude she's known you for 10 seconds we've had a life time together. She forgave me for what happened. But you come with the southerns are idiot jokes asshole." Trent said back.
"She never forgave you! She just tolerated you because her family for whatever reason forgave you for almost killing her. You should be ashamed of yourself. Take some damn responsibly for what you did to her." Seth argued back.
"S.. Seth please.." Kate said again feeling a little light headed now.
"You don't know a damn thing about me or what happened. If nothing would have happened that night. Kate and I would be married with our family by now."
"Both of you stop. Trent listen to me. I love Seth he is my husband and I am gonna have this baby. It has nothing to do with you at all. So just do us all a favor and leave us all alone." She said when she felt queasy now.
"Kate baby?" Seth asked noticing her getting pale.
"I think I am gonna be sick." She said.
"Let's get you inside. This is over. You come near my wife again I will beat your ass." Seth said taking Kate inside. Not knowing that Ridge had been standing there watching this unfold.
"Sir are you just gonna let him talk to me like that?" Trent asked.
"He said his peace. I suggest you listen. I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt. But today you showed me the side of you that my Katie has always seen. You need to leave now. Don't bother Katie or my son in law again." Ridge said.
Kate was in the bathroom getting sick. Seth was there rubbing her back.
"How she doing?" She asked handing him some water.
"Morning sickness." Seth told her handing Kate some water as she laid on him and took a few deep breathes before taking a drink. Kate looked up at Seth and let out a giggle.
"What beautiful?" Seth asked.
"Remember when our biggest problem was Shane?"
"Oh so not funny." Seth chuckled kissing her forehead.
"Now I know I have met an angel in person. And she looks perfect. I don't deserve this. You look perfect tonight."
