Chapter 29 Rush for a good cause
John's POV
All through out the weeks I had been busy setting things up and getting things ready. At last Friday was here, finally. Randy had been helping me, I guess he needed a distraction from Raven dying. I had no idea how he felt but I could imagine and when he told me that Raven was dying I made sure I was there for him, he had fallen in love and now she was being ripped away. It was the same when Jamie had her kidney infection, he wanted to help her but he knew he couldn't. Sadly throughout my planning I had started to neglect Jamie's needs as a woman, I figured it could wait until afterwards.
"John I wanna talk to you" Jamie burst in, quickly I hid the ring and Randy left us to it.
"What about?" I had a feeling I knew as Jamie shut the door but not before checking the name on the door.
"You know what." Jamie sighed "I know Dad said that you couldn't break up with me but if you suddenly find me gross and don't wanna touch me then I'll break up with you so you can find someone else. I suggest Randy"
Was she breaking up with me? "I don't wanna break up with you Jamie, I wanted to ask you something but if your breaking up with me you'll never know"
She stopped and looked at me "You don't wanna break up with me?"
"No I don't"
A flash of blonde and bright colours rushed at me as she jumped into my arms "Sorry I thought that I suddenly grossed you out"
"Of course not but I did want to ask you something" I said setting her down
"Yes that was my mayonaise"
"Oh ok never mind then"
Jamie giggled "But seriously what did you wanna ask?"
"Jamie Lee Michales, will you marry me?" It wasn't the most romantic setting but again I figured I had time to be romantic at least I would make time.
"Yes!" Jamie squealed, that got through to her. "We're getting married!" Jamie chanted loudly jumping in my arms again.
"Your doing what?" A random voice shouted back, I guess her loud voice saved us telling everyone.
"Getting married now shut it your ruining the moment!" Jamie shouted back.
"And now I'm deaf"
Jamie kissed me softly, whispering against my lips. "Me sorry. And yes I would love to be your wifey"
"Good now no more talk of breaking up because thats just sick"
Later that night and after Jamie had told the entire locker room that we were engaged I took her out. She thought we were having dinner at Chex Maurice (her favourite restaurant) instead we got dressed up and I took her to the great hall I had picked out. Decorated in fairy lights and bright colours, Jamie's eyes lit up like it was Christmas. A small gathering of people (including her father and her sisters) were around to witness this, apparently that was law. The main reasons I wanted this done now was this way Raven could attend and I knew Jamie would want Raven to witness this and today was her birthday. Not that Jamie remembered that well she was about too.
"Whats going on?" Jamie looked at me as we walked down the hall towards the father, she randomly said hello to various people. Everyone was dressed up nicely and I couldn't help the pang of sadness when I looked at Raven. Her black dress hung off her but she was pale and having trouble standing. At least she could witness Jamie getting married before she went. Raven gave us a tired smile as she clung to Randy to stay upright.
"You said you wanted to marry me" I said as we took our place up front and the ceremony began.
"Tonight we are gathered here in front of God to witness this man and this woman wed in holy matromony. If there is anyone here that knows why this couple shouldn't wed let them speak now or forever hold their peace"
"I object!" Iziah stood up. Everyone looked at her and poor Jamie almost burst into tears. Suddenly she laughed "Nah I'm only joking, carry on Father"
I let out a breath and turned back to Jamie.
"Alright now that she's finished, lets move on" The father carried on "John would you take Jamie's hands and recite your vows"
"I John take you Jamie to be my wifey, my partner in life and the only one i'll ever love. I will cherish our union and love you more each day than the day day before. I will trust and respect you, laugh with you and cry with you, loving you faithfully through good times and bad regardless of the obsticles we may face together. I give you my hand, my heart and my love from this day forward for as long as be both shall live" I was honest with every word I spoke as I looped that chain around her neck.
"And Jamie would you like to repeat your vows to John?" He looked at her kindly and this was the worst time for Jamie's eyes to roll backwards, looking at me she spoke.
"Entreat me not to leave you or to return from following after you, for where you go I will go and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God. And where you die, I will die and there I will be buried. May the Lord do with me and more if anything but only death will part you from me" Jamie shook her head, her eyes coming back into focus. "I love you John and I will only love you, you are not just my partner you are my God and if Iziah stands up and says you can't marry me again I will smash her" Jamie slid my ring on my hand, our guests couldn't help but laugh, even the father was laughing.
"With the power invested in me I now pronounce you man and wife, you may kiss the bride"
"Yay!" Jamie cheered as I embraced her lovingly, our guests clapping for us. "I love you John"
"I love you wifey"
A/N How many people thought Izzy was going to stop the wedding and how many people wanna slap her? LOL
