Chapter 12: I DO!
Disclaimer: do I really have to do this every single time? I don't own charmed.
A/n: sooo finally here...
"Wakey wakey rise and shine." Prue walked in opening Piper's curtains on the morning of the wedding. Piper sheilded her eyes from the sunlight now flowing through the open window.
"Hey I'm awake"
"Couldn't sleep huh?"
"Nah"
"Nervous?"
"Yeah and excited. I just love him so much. I guess its natural though right"
"Of course it is honey, this is one of the most important, happy days of your life. And I will personally fulfil my maid of honour dunties and ensure that nothing goes wrong." Prue said reassuring her.
Phoebe came running in the room to see Prue and Piper sitting on Piper's bed.
"Oh so I see you beat me to it?" she said to Prue. "How you feeling?" she asked Piper going over to sit with them.
"Butterflies pretty much sums it up" Piper said not wanting to go through the speeches again.
"Well lets get you ready huh?!. Guests arriving at one priest at 11.30 to check whatever it is that they need to check and go through some stuff with you and Leo" she ran through the days plans.
11.30 came. Leo had arrived but Piper's sisters wouldn't let her see him until she was needed. They went through all they needed to and Piper returned upstairs to get ready and Leo was ushered into the living room to get himself ready.
Guests had started arriving. Grams had set up chairs for the guests and they would be going to a nearby hall for the reception. In the garden a path had been set up for Piper to walk down leading to a raised platform sheltered by a tall, white arch decorated with swirling garlands. Piper walked down the aisle watching Leo standing at the front staring back at her smiling. Even at such short notice she had decided to go with the classic white wedding dress and her hair lay in smooth curls down her back. She looked beautiful, just like every bride should. Victor walked her down, his arm linked through hers. The pride showing on his face as he gave away his little girl to the man of her dreams.
She reached Leo and the service began. They had prepared their own vows for the ceremony to make it more personal.
Leo went first.
"Piper, ever since I met you, I knew you were special. I've loved you for as long as I've known you and I will continue to love you for as long as I live. I promise to take care of you, give you all the treasures that you deserve. I vow to be faithful to you as your husband and I will stand next to you in all our endeavors, good and bad. We will share our lives as one all that I am I give to you, all that I have I share with you."
"Leo, you are the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. Before you, I thought that love was just a state of mind and only existed in stories but that's what I found in you and as I stand here before you and everyone we know I remember my childhood dreams of marrige and you being here is more than I ever could have hoped for. I love you, I will always love you."
Under the priests' instructions, Leo placed a ring on Piper's finger and she did the same back. Piper and Phoebe stood by her side tears of joy streaming their cheeks along with Gramns sitting in the front row next to Victor.
"Now that you have sworn your vows to eachother, and with the exchanging of rings I am pleased to pronounce you, man and wife. You may kiss the bride"
Leo leant in for the perfect matromonial kiss. Tender and short. They walked to the car hand in hand. Someone- most likely Phoebe and her friends- had decorated the car with cans and writing reading "Just married"- even though it was a rented white rolls royce. They got in.
"Looks like we made it" Piper said kissing Leo again.
"Yeah we did"
They arrived at the reception and everyone was having a good time. The DJ came on over the microphone announcing the time for the bride and grooms first dance as a married couple. They took their places and held eachother close, swaying to the music that was playing.
"I can't believe I'm standing here as your wife. I've waited so long" Piper whispered softly into Leo's ear.
"Me too" They kissed again fully aware that everyone was still watching.
The next morning they woke up together after a blissfull wedding night.
"Good morning Mr. Wyatt" Piper yawned stretching out and gently caressing Leo's bare chest with her fingertips.
"Same to you Mrs. Wyatt" He kissed her forehead and lowered his body down so that he was at eye level to her. "How does it feel to actually be Mrs Wyatt?"
Piper giggled. "We're really married! You don't have any regrets do you?" She asked herself knowing that she felt so blessed to be Leo's Wife.
"My only regret is that it took so long to find you" He placed a lingering kiss on her lips only parting to look at the face of the woman he had finally married after a lifetime of searching. Piper started to stand up. "Where are you going?" He asked wiping the sleep from his eyes.
"We can't stay in bed forever. Believe me that sounds tempting but we still have lives."
"Can't they wait 'til like next month? After the honeymoon I've been planning for so long" He pulled out two airline tickets to Barbados departing a few days later that week.
"What? You can't be serious! We've only just got back from Paris." She said in shock.
"So what? All newlyweds have honeymoons. Just think, staying in our room all day, just the two of us, no interuptions, no sisters!" He added hoping that this would pursuade her. "I told you I would treat you right and I stand by that."
"How did I find you?" She asked giving in to the idea and rejoining Leo on the bed.
"You were just lucky I guess" He put his arm around her and laid back down contemplating the next step of married life.
