~Chapter Forty-Five: The Vows~

Becky's POV

After everything that has happened in the past few months, I can't believe we are finally here. We made it to this day and althought I am nervous I am beyond happy.

Once Rae and I were ready, we pulled down each others veil, hugged once more and then our song started so we had to go. As soon as the first few moments of the song began we both took a deep breath and walked through the door together holding hands.

Taking a moment to look around at how beautiful the church looked with blue, black and white flowers and banners everywhere. It was exactly how we wanted it. I looked up to see both Matt and Alexander standing there smiling at us and I couldn't help but squeeze Raes hand as we continue down the aisle.

Once we were both standing in front of our loves and our fathers gave us away, we decided that Matt and I would do our vows first.

Preacher: We are gather here today to join these two couples in holy matrimony. Are you Raven Madison, Alexander Sterling, Becky Miller and Matt Wells all here of your own free will?"

We all say yes.

Preacher: "Is there anyone here today that thinks any of these couples should not be getting married?"

When no one disagrees he turns to Matt and I first.

Preacher: "Since you two decided to say your own vows, you may do so now. Matt how about you start."

Matt: "Ok sure." He turns towards me and holds my hand. Looking straight into my eyes, he says, "Becky you are the love of my life. I have never met anyone like you. You are so kind, beautiful and honest that I fell for you the moment we first talked. I love how your eyes dance we you are excited about something. I love how you have to touch me whenever we are together. I especially love how you challenege and support me to be a better person than I was before. You are my heart, my life and my other half. I never knew there could be someone out there that was made perfectly for me. And as we go through having our first baby, to graduating high school and going to college I know I chose the perfect partner. I love you so much baby and thank you for giving me our son and becoming my wife."

All I could do is stare at him in shock as tears flow down both our faces. Gosh I love this man.

Preacher: "Now you Ms. Miller."

Me: "Oh Matt." After wiping his tears and my own, I cleared my throat and said, "I was so scared of being mistreated in school that i decided to hide from the world. I didn't want to give other people a chance to hurt me, so I just hung out with my best friend and counted the days to graduation. But out of an unsuspected twist I met you and the moment I laid eyes on you I knew in my heart that I loved you. And every night I would pray that one day you would notice me and love me to. And you did. You took my heart after our first date and you cradled it in your hands. You've shown me so much love and support that I can never imagine my life without you. You are my sunshine through the rain, my smile through tears and my next breath and heartbeat. You gave me this amazing gift that will be joining us soon and you never let me give up even when I want too. Thank you for loving me and wanting me for the rest of our lives. I love you beyond the moon and back sweetie."

Preacher: "With that being said can we have the rings?"

"Here they are" Trevor said, handing them over.

Preacher: "Ok Matt now take this ring and put it on her finger and repeat after me. With this ring, I Matt Wells thee wed."

"With this ring, I, Matt Wells thee wed."

"You Becky Miller to be my lawfully wedded wife."

"You Becky Miller to be my lawfully wedded wife."

"To have and to hold. From sickness and in health, richer or poorer, to love and to cherish, til death do us part. This is my solemn vow to you."

"To have and to hold. From sickness and in health, richer or poorer, to love and to cherish, til death do us part. This is my solemn vow to you."

"Now Becky take his ring and place it on his finger and repeat after me. With this ring, I Becky Miller thee wed you Matt Wells to be my lawfully wedded husband."

"With this ring I, Becky Miller thee wed you Matt Wells to be my lawfully wedded husband."

"To have and to hold. From sickness and in health, richer or poorer, to love and to cherish, til death do us part. This is my solemn vow to you."

"To have and to hold. From sickness and in health, richer or poorer, to love and to cherish, til death do us part. This is my solemn vow to you."

"In the power vested in me and in front of God and these witnesses, I know pronounce you Husband and Wife you may kiss your bride."

With those beautiful words, Matt lifted my veil and kissed me. All I could focus on was not jumping him in a church and our baby rolling around contently in my belly.

Once the kiss was over he pulled back and held my hand as we turned to watch Alexander and Raven say their vows.

Alexander's POV

Waiting at the front of the church all I can think about is how lucky I am to finally find a woman who understands and loves me for me. I can't wait until its finally official and she's all mine.

Standing there as the doors finally open and I get my first glimpse of my love, I feel like my heart just stopped literally. She was so beautiful in her dress. And as everyone stood to see them I was so proud to know that she was all mine.

Bas taps my shoulder and says, "Dude you are one lucky guy. She is beautiful."

"Thanks man I know." smiling I waited until her dad finally passes her hand to me and I could physically feel her that my heart slowed down just a bit. Whispering, "You look gorgeous my princess." and she gives me this breath taking smile.

It was hell waiting for Becky and Matt's vows to finish so we can go but I understand why they went first. I will be speaking in Romanian for the vampire guests and they would have to translate to english for everyone else. Finally when I thought my head would explode they were pronounced man and wife.

Jameson walked up next to the preacher and he started speaking Romanian.

Jameson translate: Deoarece Alexander corbul au scris propria lor juramintele, I va lăsa să plece primul.

Preacher translate: "Since Alexander and Raven have written their own vows, I will let them go first."

Alexander: "Corbul esti dragostea vietii mele. Aştept cu nerăbdare să petrec o eternitate cu tine şi fiul nostru. Mi-ai dat o viaţă umplut cu nimic, dar dragostea, fericire şi bucurie. Ai lua toate mea tristeţe şi singurătate şi mi-a dat un motiv de a trăi şi de zâmbet. Toată lumea a spus că le-am schimbat, dar adevărul este că v-aţi schimbat mi. Aţi mi-a dat o familie adevarata si mi-a arătat că viaţa este întotdeauna mai bine cu cei care te iubesc si te iubesc Deci, atât de mult mea printesa gotica. Voi merge la capetele de această lume şi de următor pentru tine pentru că eşti mai mult viata mea, tu esti sufletul meu pereche. Şi nu este nimic am vrut face pentru tine si fiul nostru. Te iubesc superb şi aştept cu nerăbdare să petrec eoni cu tine."

Preacher translate: "Raven you are the love of my life. I am looking forward to spending an eternity with you and our son. You have given me a life filled with nothing but love, bliss and joy. You take away all my sadness and loneliness and given me a reason to live and smile. Everyone said that I changed you but the truth is, you've changed me. You've given me a real family and showed me that life is always better with the ones you love and I love you so, so much my gothic princess. I will go to the ends of this world and the next for you because you are more than my life, you are my soul mate. And there is nothing I wanted do for you and our son. I love you gorgeous and I am looking forward to spending eons with you. Now Raven your vows."

Raven: "Aww Alexander." she says as she wipes her eyes. "You are truly my Knight of the Night. You came into my life at the perfect moment when I needed something good and peaceful in this town. You've made me aware of who I truly am and who I want to be. No one has ever loved me unconditionally, flaws and all like you have. No one has ever thought of me as perfect the way I am as you have. You've never once tried to tame me or been embrassed to be seen with me. You've made me love myself and that is the greatest gift anyone has ever given me. Your love has seen me through my hardest days and your kindness has brighten up a lot of my dull days. You and our son are the family I've been missing because you two are the most important parts of me. And I love you guys so much. You not only protect and love me but you cherish and respect me. No matter where we go in this life we will always have each others undying love and support for centuries to come. I love you so much my prince and I can't wait to be your princess."

Jameson translate: Tu eşti cu adevărat meu cavaler de noapte. Ai venit în viaţa mea la momentul perfect când am nevoie de ceva bun şi liniştită în acest oraş. Mi-am făcut conştienţi de cine sunt eu cu adevărat şi care doresc să fie. Nimeni nu are vreodată ma iubit necondiţionat, defecte si tot ca tine au. Nici una a gândit vreodată de a mi ca perfect modul sunt ca ai. Niciodată nu o dată aţi încercat să îmblânzit mi sau fost embrassed sa fie vazut cu mine. Le-aţi făcut-mi place mine, şi că este cel mai mare dar cineva mi-a dat vreodată. Dragostea ta mi-a vazut prin zilele mele mai greu şi amabilitatea dumneavoastră are brighten sus o mulţime de meu zile plictisitoare. Şi fiul nostru sunt familie am fost lipsesc deoarece două sunt cele mai importante părţi din mine. Şi te iubesc atât de mult de baieti. Tu nu numai protejează şi -mi place, dar vă preţuim şi să respecte mine. Indiferent unde mergem în acest viata vom avea întotdeauna fiecare alţii nemuritor dragoste şi suport de secole pentru a veni. Te iubesc atât de mult Prinţul meu şi nu pot să aştept pentru a fi printesa ta.

Preacher: "Now with those beautiful words can we have the rings?"

"Here they are sir." Bas says as he hands them over.

Preacher: "Alexander place the ring on Ravens finger and repeat after me. With this ring I, Alexander Sterling thee wed, you Raven Madison to be my lawfully wedded wife."

"Cu acest I, Alexander Sterling inel te căsători, tu Raven Madison sa fii sotia mea legal conjugală."

Preacher: "To have and to hold. From sickness and in health, richer or poorer, til death do us part. This is my solemn vow to you."

"Să aibă şi să deţină. De boală şi în sănătate, mai bogate sau sărace, pana moartea ne va desparti. Acest lucru este meu jurământ solemn la tine."

Preacher: "Now Raven, take the ring and place it on Alexander's hand and repeat after me. With this ring I, Raven Madison thee wed, you Alexander Sterling to be my lawfully wedded husband."

"With this ring, I Raven Madison thee wed, you Alexander Sterling as my lawfully wedded husband."

Jameson translate: Cu acest inel, am Raven Madison ţi mărita, ai Alexander Sterling ca sotul meu legal conjugală.

Preacher: "To have and to hold. From sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, til death do us part. This is my solemn vow to you."

"To have and to hold. From sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, til death do us part. This is my solemn vow to you."

Jameson translate: Să aibă şi să deţină. De boală şi în sănătate, mai bogate sau sărace, pana moartea ne va desparti. Acest lucru este meu jurământ solemn la tine.

Preacher: "As the power vested in me and in front of God and these witnesses, I now pronounce you husband and wife you may kiss your bride."

Jameson translate: Ca puterea sunt investite în mine şi în faţa lui Dumnezeu şi acestor martori, am acum pronunţă vă soţ şi soţie vă pot saruta mireasa dvs.

After those words were spoken I took her in my arms and lifted her veil. Looking into her beautiful eyes I leaned forward and kissed her. In front of my human friends and vampire family. I kissed the love of my life and mother of my child. Even though this was just the human ceremony it was just as important as our mating ritual will be when the time comes.

Preacher: "Family and friends I give you Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Wells and Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Sterling."

Jameson translate: "Familia şi prietenii vă dau Dl şi Dna Matthew Wells şi Domnul şi doamna Alexander Sterling."

And with those words we took our ladies hands and headed toward the limo so we can get to the reception.
