Peeta puts my hand on Rory's and we smile at each other. Katniss is standing behind me and I saw the smile on her lips. We smile at each other for a few minutes as a woman, who looks about twenty smiles at us and starts talking. I'm too lost thinking about Rory to listen to her. Our eyes are locked and right now I want to grab him.
"Welcome friends and family." She says and I bite my lip thinking about his lips on mine. "We are here to witness the union of Primrose Everdeen and Rory Hawthorne. Rory has something that he wants to say to his lovely bride, before they are brought together as one."
Rory winks at me and smiles as he clears his throat. "Primrose, the flower that you are named after has a meaning that is true between you and me. Ever since we were children, I wanted you to be mine. But the truth is that from the second that our eyes met, you had me. Primrose's meaning is, I am yours forever. I always have been and always will be. Which is why I got you something..."
I stare at him in shock and feel my heart melting at his words. He takes something from Acacia and I smile when I see what it is. A single red rose, even though he was talking about a Primrose, he gave me a red rose which means love. But there's another flower, one single Primrose and it makes me smile. My instincts are telling me to kiss him right now, that's what I want to do and I do. He laughs as we break apart.
The woman smiles at us and starts talking, "Rory Markus Hawthorne, since it is your intention to marry, join your right hands and declare your consent. Do you take Primrose Lillian Everdeen to be your lawful wedded wife to have and behold from this day on, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live."
Rory smiles and says in a clear voice, "I Do."
The woman with long blonde hair standing in front of us smiles even wider. "Primrose Lillian Everdeen, do you take Rory Markus Hawthorne to be your lawful wedded husband, to have and behold from this day on, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live."
I smile at Rory and nod my head. Tears are threatening to pour out of my eyes as I choke out, "I Do."
She smiles at us and I remember her name, Beth. Diligo pouts a little when she takes the two rings from him. "The wedding ring symbolizes unity, a circle unbroken, without beginning or end. And today Primrose and Rory's exchange these rings as confirmation of their vows to join their lives, to work at all times to create a life that is complete and unbroken, and to love each other without end. May the Lord bless these rings which you give to each other as the symbol of your love and fidelity.
Rory, take the ring from Beth and he slowly places it on my finger and he repeats the words after Beth.
The smile on Rory's lips has me giggle a little and his eyes stay locked with mine. I can see the passion in his eyes as he says:
"With this ring I thee wed.
I offer you my hand, and my heart as I know they will be safe with you.
All that I am I give to you and all that I have I share with you."
My hands are shaking as I take the ring from Beth's hand and I take a deep breath, before I look into those gray eyes of his. I love those gray eyes so much and now he is mine.
"Primrose, take this ring and place it on finger, and state your pledge to him, repeating after me."
Now its my turn to smile as I repeat:
"With this ring I thee wed.
I offer you my hand, and my heart as I know they will be safe with you.
All that I am I give to you and all that I have I share with you."
Beth smiles at us and before she can say another word, Rory pulls me into his arms and kisses me. This makes everyone laugh and start clapping. "Primrose and Rory you have given and pledged your promises to each other, and have declared your everlasting love by exchanging the rings. Your vows may have been spoken in minutes, but your promises to each other will last until your last breath. As have pledged themselves to meet sorrow and happiness as one family before your families and this community of friends, I now pronounce them husband and wife. You may continue to kiss your bride."
Beth laughs as we break apart and says in a happy voice, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Rory Hawthorne."
We walk off and everyone swarms around us. I smile as Rory holds me tightly to his side and I have my arms wrapped around him. Katniss hugs me tightly and I smile at her. The tears are running down both of our cheeks and I turn to Rory. He kisses me lightly on the lips and I keep my eyes locked with his. I smile a small smile as we walk out onto the dance floor, everyone starts clapping as the music starts and Rory holds me tightly to him. We spin around the dance floor and Rory dips me. I giggle the first time that he dips me and he kisses me once, sweetly. Our arms are wrapped around each other and we're lost in our own little world.
"I love you, Mrs. Hawthorne." He whispers against my lips and I giggle. We move around the dance floor, not really paying attention to where we are going. "I'm so happy that you are finally my wife."
I press my lips to his and he smiles. "I love you too. Thank you for the...surprise. I loved it and I can't believe you did this. Why are you so sweet?"
"As long as you are happy, so am I." He says and he spins me around one last time, before the music stops. Rory kisses me and everyone starts clapping. "Mrs. Rory Hawthorne."
I smile at him and we start dancing again, this time everyone else joins in. Rory and I can't keep our hands or lips off of each other. We stay beside each other for the rest of the night and my skin feels like its on fire when Rory touches me. Those gray eyes caught me...again.
How did I do? Did I do good? :D Thank you for reading and please leave a review. (Okay, I talked to my Beta a while ago about this and want to know what everyone thinks. For the next one (yes there will be another one :D ) should I do one focused on their kids (from the kids POV's) or Prim and Rory's?
Woohoo! Check out It-Was-Enchanting's stories, they will have you enchanted from the first chapter. Haha, I know probably not the best, but I think its kind of funny. Thank you to everyone for reading and to Beth (Beta). So check out her stories! :D
