Michael had heard all the stories and jokes about how nervous guys were
before their wedding. Hell, that was the point of a bachelor party. So,
naturally, he expected to feel at least some apprehension about getting
married, about changing the rest of his life.
He didn't.
Michael was so in love with Sydney, had been since the moment he heard her sing. He wanted to protect her; he wanted to see her face each morning. Never had he been so sure about someone in his life.
What they had was solid.
"Hey sir. Waiting on someone?" Michael jumped at the sound of his fiancé's voice. Sydney wrapped her arms around him from behind.
"Yeah. She's about your height and absolutely gorgeous. Wearing a wedding dress, hopefully. Seen her?" Michael turned her around in his arms and kissed her with all the emotion he was feeling.
When they separated, Michael was pleased to see Sydney's face flushed. Her voice was breathless as she whispered in his ear. "Yeah, she's the luckiest girl alive."
He grinned at her before gently pushing her back so he could get the full effect of the dress. She looked absolutely stunning.
Marion, true to her word, had worked a miracle on Sydney's hair. It was pulled back loosely with curled wisps framing her face. She was wearing very little makeup, which allowed all her natural beauty to shine through.
Michael felt his heart fall to Sydney's feet willingly.
They both turned to face the minister; a man decked out in goalie gear and wearing (at Michael's insistence) a Kings jersey. He performed his part, and then gave the floor to Michael for his vows.
"I, Michael Vaughn, to take you, Sydney Bristow, to be my wife. I promise to always be there for you. to do the best I can for you. You've haven't become the center of my life. you are my life. I fell in love with you when you sang me that song. and was crushed when I caused you pain. I have never felt this way; I love you more everyday." Michael looked into her eyes intensely; every word spoken struck her heart. He was coming up with this off of the top of his head. "You make me more, you make me whole, and I promise that I will always love you with all that I have in me." With that, Michael turned and nodded to the minister. Marion was crying openly in the background.
Sydney nervously cleared her throat when the minister cued her. She opened her mouth and caused Michael to fall in love all over again.
I do swear that I'll always be there. I'd give anything and everything and I will always care. Through weakness and strength, happiness and sorrow, for better, for worse, I will love you with every beat if my heart.
Then Sydney sang, her voice clear and passionate.
From this moment life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on
From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love I'd give my last breath
From this moment on
I give my hand to you with all my heart
Can't wait to live my life with you can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you
From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on
You're the reason I believe in love
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you
From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment
I will love you as long as I live
From this moment on
Tears were running down Sydney's face as she finished her song. Michaels face showed love in its purest form. Sydney got the feeling her face reflected the same.
The minister was staring openly at her.
"Oh. gee, lady, it's you! You sang. that song. whatever happened?"
Michael silenced the man with a look. The goalie quickly pronounced them man and wife, and they shared a loving kiss that heated up to the point of embarrassment for poor Marion. They ended up leaving the chapel with two new Kings jerseys.
With arms wrapped around bodies, the newlyweds strolled down the neon lit avenue towards their hotel room. They were both giddy in the elevator on the way to the room.
Once Michael unlocked the door, he turned to block Sydney, causing her to run right into his chest. He laughed at the baffled expression on her face and picked her up, carrying her over the threshold.
Sydney giggled and snuggled into her husbands arms. It was done.
No one could stop them now.
He didn't.
