Well Dravenites, here's the big one. The one I've been looking forward to writing for the longest time. Please enjoy it and lets try make this the most read chapter of the story. Also, this takes place like 2 seconds from when the last chapter ended.
'' You look beautiful'' Cory smiled.
'' Thanks.''
'' You ready to go?''
'' I am.''
After receiving multiple hugs from her bridal partyRiley looked outside the cabana that was keeping her hidden from the rest of her wedding party. Riley took an analytical look around the beach. A large platform had been laid down where the ceremony would take place. The platform was made out of redwood to symbolize the wisdom, communication and longevity that was in store for the couple. Each guest sat on plastic fold out chairs. It may have seemed uncomfortable but it seemed as if each guest was extremely comfortable or they hid their discomfort well.
At the front of the platform was a large podium on which the pair would be married. Behind the podium was a large platinum arch with the blue roses decorating it.
The ring bearer and flower girl, who just happened to be Jack and Eric's children had arrived at their designated spots on the stage.
Smackle went first and then Maya followed suit. Their beautiful cerulean dresses complimented the lake water beautifully.
Soon came the big moment. The cellist and pianist began to play A thousand years as Riley walked down the aisle. Riley could hear hundreds of '' wows'' and '' she looks beautifuls''. As Riley reached the podium Farkle felt himself getting jelly legs. He knew she would look amazing, she always did, it was kind of her thing.
Riley was a bit surprised to see who was marrying her, it was Mr. Feeney.
Feeney gave a confident smile to Riley and Cory.
'' Who gives this woman to this man?'' he asked.
'' I do'' Cory answered, a tear forming in his eye.
Riley stood on the podium in front of Farkle and instead of sitting next to Topanga in the front row, Cory stood next to Feeney.
'' Daddy what's going on?'' Riley asked.
'' I felt it would be special if your dad and Feeney married us'' Farkle answered.
Riley smiled at him. He truly knew her better than anyone else.
Feeney began to speak. '' Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to witness the joining of Farkle Andrew Minkus and Riley Amy Matthews in holy matrimony'' Feeney then turned to Cory.
'' We aren't going to lie to you. Marriage is work. It's commitment and its love. But above all, it's the bonds you share with each other. The emotional bonds that you two share are exceptional. Every day there will be challenges that will test each other. You need to be there for each other all the time, making sure that the other person feels not only protected but understood.''
Feeney took over.'' The union into which you both shall enter is one that cannot be taken likely. You are giving yourselves to one another in the yes of the lord. May we please have the rings?''.
Michael held up the satin cushion as high as he could. Upon it were two sapphire encrusted silver rings.
'' Riley, please take this ring as a symbol of my eternal love , loyalty and faithfulness to you'' Farkle said as he slid the ring onto Riley's finger.
Riley almost sobbed with happiness before she spoke. '' Farkle please take this ring as a symbol of my eternal love, loyalty and faithfulness to you.''
'' I believe you've written your own vows?'' Cory said.
Lucas handed Farkle a piece of paper with visible creases. Farkle began to read.
'' Riley. There is a word in German. Its called lebenslagershicksalsschatz. It means lifelong treasure of destiny. And you Riley and my lebenslagershicksalsschtaz. Through every challenge we face rest assured I will be by your side. Not a day goes by that I don't thank God for having you in my life. You're the light of my life and just as the lake beside us will never stop gleaming, as will I never stop loving you. I am forever yours. I will be your strength when you are weak, and you will be mine. I will forever be devoted to you 'til death do us part.''
Tears started to form in Riley's eyes. The fact that she had always known this incredible person was amazing. The feelings they shared were reciprocal and now it was Riley's turn.
Maya handed Riley a piece of paper and Riley began to read.
'' Farkle. I always dreamt of my wedding, ever since I was a little girl. I always knew it would be with the love of my life, I just never knew the love of my life would be you. May my unwavering love for you sustain you. I will forever be yours and you mine. Farkle, you're more than just the man I love, you're my best friend. I can't imagine my life without you in it. May our love guide us through thick and thin, 'til death do us part.''
Cory started sniffing as did Feeney to a lesser extent.
'' By the power vested in us by the state of New York and , we now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride'' Cory said through his tears.
The kiss that Farkle and Riley shared next would the one that was the most special to them.
I have to tell you, this is my favorite chapter. Stay tuned because this isn't the last chapter, there are still two more.
