The Love we Always Wanted ch36
The day of the wedding had finally arrived and all of Nathan and Haley's family and friends were there to celebrate with them. As a couple they had decided to go with tradition and not see each other the night before the wedding and this was killing Haley inside.
"Please let me call him," she pleaded to Brooke for the tenth time that morning.
"No its bad luck," Brooke tried to remind her.
"Well actually its only bad luck if he sees me. Since I'm only calling him, it won't be considered bad luck.
"Fine, five minutes," Brooke spoke giving Haley back her cell phone.
Haley sat on her bed waiting for Nathan to answer his answer. Just like always he answered on the second ring.
"Well I thought it was bad luck to talk before the wedding," he commented to her.
"No its only bad luck if you see me, so we aren't breaking any rules," she replied back to him.
"Good, I really needed to hear your voice Haley James soon to be Scott," he flirted to her.
"Yeah I needed to hear yours too. Being without you last night nearly lived me," she commented to him.
"Well in a few short hours, we won't have to worry about that ever again," he replied to her.
"Okay I have to go Brooke is giving me the eye," Haley commented to him.
"Right okay, I love you always," he replied to her.
"And forever," she finished before ending the call.
Haley walked over to the makeup chair as her mother came into the room, "did I just hear you talking to Nathan?" she questioned to her daughter.
"Um yeah," she answered softly.
"God you two really do get on like a pair of love sick teens," she commented to her.
"Thanks mom," Haley replied as Brooke started to do her make up.
"Well you deserve it, everyone has waited long enough for the two you to get married," she replied to her smiling.
"Yeah I just can't believe the day is finally here," Haley spoke getting all excited.
"Just remember to enjoy yourself. The only thing I will say is keep the kiss under control and no funny business when Nathan takes of your garter, there is a lot of people watching," she commented to her.
"Mom, I think you need to be having the conversation with Nathan not me," she commented to her mom.
"Oh I have already spoken to Nathan as well and he is looking very handsome," she replied teasing her daughter.
"Mom you know that is so not fair," she spoke glaring at her.
"You'll get over it," she replied smiling at her daughter.
After Haley was ready they took a few family pictures inside the house as they didn't want her leaving the house. In case there was a chance that Nathan would see her before he was meant too.
Nathan and James made their way down on to beach where the ceremony was going to be. There was already a lot of their family and friends sitting waiting for Haley to arrive. It was a t this point when he started to see his beautiful bride for the first time that he started to feel the butterflies in his stomach.
Haley too was getting butterflies in her stomach as she walked closer and closer to him. As she walked she kept her eyes focused on his so that she was able to get there without being distracted by something. Once she was only a few steps away from him, she could feel her heart racing.
"Relax sweetheart," Jimmy whispered and she smiled back at him.
"Who gives this woman to the man?" the priest asked.
"I do," Jimmy replied.
"You look beautiful," Nathan commented before the priest started to spoke again.
"We are gathered here today to witness the marriage of Nathan and Haley, before their family and friends. Most importantly before God as they before one and enter into their lives together along with their son James. It is my understanding that the couple have written their vows that they would like to share with us. Who would like to go first?" the priest spoke.
Haley, I have always loved you. I'm so glad we finally took the chance all those years ago to have a relationship together. I know that our stories hasn't been easy that doesn't mean that I haven't enjoyed every second of it through the good and the bad, I know there is still going to be more to come in our lives together. Today we stand on a beach and I tell you how much I loved you and how I will always, always protect you. I know everyone thought we were too young to be in love and back then nobody believed that this would work. But I don't think anybody understood the love I had for you because if they did they never would have doubted us. So I want to marry you in front of most of our world. Because today, when I look into your eyes my love for you only grows. It's even stronger now and that love will never waver. This I vow to you today and always, foreverI know that Someday, this beach might wash away…the oceans may dry…the sun could dim but on that day, I'll still be loving you. Always and forever. I promise you Haley." Nathan spoke looking directly into her eyes.
"Nathan, these past years with you have been the best years of my life. I know we have had our rough times, we have always got through. Looking back on everything today I'm so glad that I picked you to be beside me every step of the way. You make the happiest person that I could ever be and you always know how to bring out the best in me. For that I'm so grateful to you. Nathan it's been said that there is one word that will free us from the weight and pain of life. And that word is love, and I believe that. It doesn't mean that it hasn't been hard or that it won't be. It just means that I found a stillness and bravery in myself with you. You make me brave and I will love you until the end of time. This I vow today. Haley, take you Nathan. To have and to hold, from this day forward. In sickness and in health. For richer or poorer. For better or worse. I promise, that I will love and cherish you. And will deny all those that would come between us. I make this promise for eternity. I promise that I will keep forever… Until the end of time. Till death do us part." Haley spoke looking him direct in the eyes.
"Now of the exchange of rings," the priest spoke.
"I Nathan take you Haley to be my wife for today and always," he spoke putting the ring on her finger.
"I Haley take you Nathan to be my husband for today and forever," she spoke putting the ring on his finger.
"I know pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride." The priest spoke.
They both leaned in to meet each other half way. There kiss was slow and soft with a little bit of tongue too. They knew that had to keep it short since everyone was watching. They knew they would have plenty of time that evening to be alone with each other. They were now looking forward to the reception to celebrate with everyone.
They are finally married. The next chapter will be the reception and going off on their honeymoon together. So if you are reading this story please review, even a few words.
