The Wedding
Suddenly I snapped back to reality as Shane stirred beside me and out his arm around me, I smiled to myself as he muttered in his sleep, he was always doing that and he always had a smile on my face as he did so. I gently moved and kissed him on the forehead, and looked at him, thinking how lucky I was to have found my soul mate.
My mind wandered again as I thought back to our wedding day.
Like Shane suggested, we didn't rush each other. It was a full two months before we slept together and when we did; I thought I felt the earth move, for both us. It was the most intimate, beautiful experience of my life and only confirmed both of our suspicions; we had fallen deeply in love. I could tell Shane anything and visa versa, everyone had always told me I would know when it was "the one" and I had found him in Shane McMahon. Shane was my soul mate, I had never felt this way about anyone and neither had Shane. From that day on life was perfect, we hardly left each others side except when we had to work! I never let on that I had heard his conversation with Linda and he never told me. I realised that Linda was concerned for both of us, unlike our so-called friends who were just trying to wreck our relationship. After the speech Shane gave in the pub, some friends accepted our relationship and some didn't. The one's that didn't we hadn't spoken to since.
Exactly ten months after we had first met Shane had proposed to me and of course, I accepted. The proposal was amazing, he had taken me to a snowy Vermont, and we had just been skiing and were back in the cabin. I had came out of the bath and he had a log fire burning furiously and candles burning all around. I sat down in front of the fire; he dropped down in front of me on one knee and asked me to marry him. He had a ring and the cutest smile you could ever imagine, I couldn't resist him, I had known for a few months he was the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with, and we had discussed marriage. We made love in front of the fire, then crawled into bed and spent virtually the remainder of the week there!
Here I was in Hawaii, with my Dad by my side, getting ready to walk me down the aisle.
Shane and I had decided to have our wedding ceremony on a cliff top at sunset. It was the perfect day, bright and sunny, with no wind whatsoever. My parents, grandparents, aunties, uncles and cousins had all flown over from England, Vince and Linda had graciously offered to pay for their flights. I had come from a middle class back round and if they hadn't of paid; it would have been likely that none of my family would be there.
I wore a white gown with a fitted bodice, a moderate train and a tiara and veil. My bouquet was filled with red and white roses. We had spent six months planning the wedding and in my eyes it was absolutely perfect, the wedding that I had spent my entire life dreaming about, but more important than that I was marrying the perfect man.
My parents had come over a month before the wedding and had gotten along famously with Shane and the rest of the McMahon family. As well as both of our families that were present, I had some friends from work and people that I had grown to know from my time in America. Wrestlers from WWE were present as well as management.
The music began and I walked down the aisle, I met Shane's eye's and suddenly I was filled with an immense happiness as I saw the sparkle in his eyes, I couldn't wipe the smile off my face as I walked down the aisle.
The registrar started the proceedings and it was time for our vows. I turned to get Shane's wedding ring from the maid of honour - who was Stephanie, over the last few months we had grown to be like sisters, which was very special to me as I was the only child.
I gently held his left hand and began to place the wedding ring on his third finger as I made my vow to him. "Shane, you are my best friend, and until I met you I had never had a best friend, falling in love with you has been so easy. You have such quiet strength, a kindness that I've never seen before and a capacity to love that is greater than I've ever known. I can't imagine a future without you; I want to live with you, to have children with you and to grow old with you. I make this vow in front of everyone here today that I will love you forever." I put the ring on his finger and looked deep into his eyes.
Shane gently took hold of my hand and placed the wedding ring on my finger as he spoke the words I will never forget. "Kerry, I loved you from the moment I saw you and I knew that I would love you forever, that is my promise to you in front of our family and friends. I love your humour and the compassion you have for other people. You refuse to just watch the world, you demand that it be a better place and because of you, it is. Today I give you my heart, my soul and the promise of a future filled with excitement, joy and our world that will be bursting with love."
After our declaration of vows, we were pronounced husband and wife. After the ceremony we all went to the hotel where we had a three course dinner, the traditional speeches were made and as the evening wore on, a jazz band played us well into the early hours of the next day. It was the best day of my life.
