Chapter 17
She couldn't believe it; her wedding day was finally here. As she slipped on the white (yeah she really shouldn't be wearing that color, but hey what can ya do?) she thought about everything that had brought the couple to this very moment. From the day they first met, to the boy taking on the role of her protector, fast forwarding to where they became lovers. It all seemed like something out of a fairy tale. A knock on the door jolted her from her thoughts. "Come in" she shouted. Amber slowly entered the room taking in the sight of her best friend. "Oh my God, honey you look absolutely gorgeous" she spoke as she crossed the room to button up her friends dress. It seemed like only yesterday that the two of them were sitting in her room listening to music and flipping through lots of magazines trying to find the perfect wedding dress and now her friend was actually wearing hers. Man was it beautiful. It was a silky white strapless dress with lace trimming and shinning pearl buttons going down the back and Autumn looked stunning in it. "So are you nervous?" she asked sitting down on the chair to the vanity set. "Not at all, I've been waiting for this moment since I first laid eyes on Wyatt and I can't wait to be his wife" the woman finished with a smile. "And thank goodness the baby is cooperating today. I haven't had any morning sickness yet." Suddenly there was another knock at the door. "Come on girls, it's time" came a voice from the other side. "Ok we're coming" Amber responded. "Ok sweetie, let's get you married" she spoke once more as she took Autumn's hand and lead her out the door.
"How does this look?" a nervous Wyatt asked his brother. "For the hundredth time Wy, its look's great so will you please stop fidgeting with that damn tie?" a very amused Chris answered. He couldn't remember ever seeing his brother like this and quite honestly it was cracking him up. "Ok, ok, I just want everything to be perfect because if it's not, I'll be spending my honeymoon on the couch instead of in the bed with my wife." This made both boys laugh, Autumn was like Piper in so many ways. "You know I'm so happy that things worked out between us Chris, I don't know what I would do if you weren't here with me right now." Walking up to his brother and pulling him into a tight hug Chris responded "I'm just glad that I have my big brother back and I'm able to share this day with you and Autumn. You do know she was going to marry me before you came along and took her away." Chris said with a playful laugh. "Oh give me a break Chris, you never stood a chance." Laughter came from the two boys once more before a knock at door interrupted the moment. "Ok you guys, it's time to go" the voice said. "Come on Wy, it's time for you to put on your ball and chain" Chris said while trying not to laugh and failing miserably. As they pair walked to the door Wyatt stopped which made his brother pause as well. "Hey Chris, do you think mom and the aunts are watching us right now?" he spoke with more then a little sadness in his voice. "I know they are Wy and I bet you they couldn't be happier." Smiling the boys exited the room and headed to thee alter.
Wyatt and Chris stood in front of their friends who mainly consisted of a few neutral beings and some former Alliance members. Sensing his brother's nervousness Chris laid a hand on the man's shoulder which earned him a smile. After all they've been through he and Wyatt were as close as they were when they were children. Chris was grinning ear to ear thinking about Wyatt and his relationship with Autumn. She was so good for him and him for her. Their love was truly amazing, in a lot of ways it reminded him of his mother and father who now stood behind him. Being one of the only Elders left Leo was called upon to preside over the ceremony. The sound of the music brought Chris out of his trance only to look into the eyes of one of the most beautiful women in the world, his new fiancée Amber. They had only been back in the underworld for three weeks when Chris purposed to the girl with much coaching from Autumn and he couldn't be happier with his decision. The girl gave him a quick smile before taking her place on the bride's side of the alter. That's when the bridal music began.
There she was, he thought. The woman who was seconds away from becoming his wife. His heart skipped a beat as he watched her walking down the isle. Autumn looked amazing. All the love that he felt for her hit him in one huge wave, the emotion was almost too much for him. The tears that he would normally hold back were streaming down his face now and he didn't care who saw, he was getting ready to marry the love of his life and there was nothing to feel ashamed about. Coming to a stop at his side the woman smiled and gently wiped his tears away. Causing his father to get a little teary eyed himself. "Dearly beloved" he began. A few seconds later it was their turn to say their wedding vows. "Wyatt, I have never loved anyone in my life the way I love you right now. From the moment I saw you I knew that I was born to be your wife and mother of your children. So now I Autumn Marie Morris take you Wyatt Matthew Halliwell to be my lawfully wedded husband to have and to hold in sickness and in health til death do us part." She finished as she slipped the golden wedding band on his finger. Now it was he who turned to her "There has never been any one in my life that I have cherished more than you. You are the light of my life and my reason for living. If I didn't have you in my arms every night, I would truly go insane. I love you not only as my wife, not only as the mother of my child, but I love you as my soul mate and as the best part of me. I love sweetheart, now, always and forever. I Wyatt Matthew Halliwell take you Autumn Marie Morris as my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold in sickness and in health til death do us part" Wyatt then slipped the ring on his new wife's hand.
"By the powers vested in me by the heavens above and the traditions and powers of the Wicca belief, I know pronounce you husband and wife." Turning to his son he added "you may kiss the bride". The passionate kiss was followed by the applause of a roaring crowd.
