Forever My Love

Emotions flooded her as she sat down with the white piece of paper and pen, she wanted to let her head do the thinking but, her heart suddenly took over and from there she wrote a bitter sweet goodbye.

Dear Jasper,

Letting go is never easy and saying goodbye is often heartbreaking, but I feel as if I have no choice when it comes to love. I can't help it but, the heart wants what the heart wants. I fought the idea for so long, lived in the past memories of what would be someday. One day my dreams turned out to be not so dreamy and my white knight not so white. So as I sit here wanting to give my heart to a man I love, a man that will never deceive me, I want to say thank you. You taught me how to love again and for that I will always be grateful.

Love Always, Skye

She pulled up in her Mercedes and slowly got out of her car, she walked a few feet and stopped in front of a headstone that read: Jasper J. Jacks. She knelt down beside it, running her fingertips over the cold marble and thought about how much had changed from the moment they said 'I do'.

After the night at the cottage, almost six months ago, everything changed for everybody. Brenda was sentenced to life in prison without parole for killing Jax and the attempted murder of Luis. Around three months ago she was moved from the corrections facility to Ferncliff.

She and Luis had both recovered from their gun shot wounds and now everything was returning to somewhat normal. She placed the envelope on the base of the headstone. She took a deep breath, said a small prayer and walked away.

The December day was perfect, the sun was peeking out from behind the clouds and tiny flakes of snow started falling from the sky. This was the first day of the rest of their lives. Skye was in the bridal chambers, nervous as ever, but happier than she had ever been in her life, her family was here, hell she had even made a few friends, everything was coming together for her.

She was becoming the person she always knew she could be. Carly, Monica and Rae talked amongst themselves as Skye stepped aside all the excitement to take a breather. "Skye?" Rae called.

"Skye, are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine Mom, really I am"

"Okay, are you almost ready?"

"It's only twenty minutes to show time" Carly added

Skye stepped back inside the bridal chamber her wedding gown was white satin with Chantilly lace covering it and her bare shoulders and arms. Her raven hair was swept back off her shoulders, pinned up with loose curls that hung down. Her make-up was flawless and she looked breath taking..

She looked at the three women before her and thought about how they had been there for her in the past eight months. Monica and Rae were both dressed in ivory and a four months pregnant Carly wore lavender.

The music began to play softly as the couples walked down the aisle, where they would meet Luis and his best man, Lorenzo at the alter. First Carly and Sonny followed by Courtney and AJ and then Jason and Emily. As the music came to a close, Michael the ring bearer and Brook Lynn the flower girl reached the alter.

As the wedding march began to play all one hundred and fifty guests rose from their seats. Alan came from the right as Skye came from the left. Alan kissed his daughter's cheek and handed her the bouquet of white roses. Skye placed her arm in Alan's and they walked down the aisle.

When they reached the alter the priest asked, "Who gives this woman away?"

Alan smiled proudly, "Her mother and I do." Alan placed another kiss on Skye's cheek, placed her hand in Luis' and took his seat between Monica and Rae.

"Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to join Antoinette Skye Quartermaine and Luis Ramone Alcazar in Holy matrimony. Marriage is sacred unity that bonds together two people forever."

The Priest continued for several more minutes before they exchanged their vows. Skye handed Carly her flowers and she and Luis turned to face each other. She placed her hands in his.

"Antoinette, repeat after me, I Antoinette take the Luis to be my lawfully wedded husband.

"I Antoinette take Luis to be my lawfully wedded husband."

He continued, "For richer or poorer, in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. To love, honor and to cherish you from this day forward until death do we part."

Skye smiled through the tears she knew were tempted to fall, "For richer or poorer, in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. To love honor and cherish from this day forward until death do us part."

Skye turned and Michael handed her the ring, facing Luis she took the ring and placed it above his ring finger, with this ring I thee wed. She slipped the gold band on his finger.

The Priest began again, "Repeat after me. I Luis take the Antoinette to be my lawfully wedded wife."

"I Luis take the Antoinette to be my lawfully wedded wife."

"For richer or for poorer, in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. To love honor and cherish from this day forward until death do we part."

Luis began, "For richer or for poorer, in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. To love honor and cherish from this day forward until death do we part."

He took the wedding band from Michael and slipped it on Skye's finger with these words, "With this ring I thee wed".

"Is there anyone here that see's just cause why these two should not be joined together in marriage, speak now or forever hold your peace."

Everything in the church was silent for thirty seconds, no one made a move or even a sound, "I pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss your bride."

Luis wrapped his arms around her and they kissed passionately. As they pulled apart the Priest presented them Mr and Mrs. Luis Ramone Alcazar.

Everyone stood up once again as they walked down the aisle, out the door and into the sunset.

The End
