Wedding Vows
A small outdoor wedding, nothing fancy, nothing big, but to the two of these guys, its everything. Friends and family have come to witness the event of two people in love as they share their vows and "I do"s. Madison's family and friends on one side and Ephram's family and friends on the other. Bright of course making his way through all the girls trying to see how many numbers he could get. Trenton played contently on the ground next to Delia. It was a short ceremony anyway so why not just let it be relaxed.
Yanu was Ephram's best man and Khaki was Madison's bride of honor as Mindy was the brides maid.
"You have always been the one I've wanted to be with. I've always been told that if love is supposed to be, it will be, and if its not supposed to be, then it wont be, no matter what you try to do ot make it last. We've been through so much, both through good and bad times, but it all just makes our bond stronger, and my love for you deeper. I want to spend the rest of my life with you Madison. You inspire me to want to be the best man I can be." recited Ephram as he looked into Madison's eyes, standing at the alter.
After he was done the person marrying them turned to Madison and asked for her to share her vows, of which she did just that.
"You are first and foremost my best friend, Ephram. Although I know I can go on in this life without you by my side, I dont want to. I want you to be with me every step of the way, through every twist and turn life may throw at us. You give me strength...I love you more than I loved you yesterday, but I love you less than I will love you tomorrow because each day, the love I have for you only grows."
by this time there were tears in many of the audience members eyes. Just as quick as the ceremony started, it was over just as fast when the two said "I do" and exchanged rings. Ephram took Madison's face in his hands and kissed her sweetly and gave her a big warm hug, wrapping his arms around her and just holding her before letting go.
There was champagne in the limo and it was immediately popped open when the groom, bride, best people and brides people piled in. Everybody was screaming and laughing and having a joyous time, all the while leaving Ephram and Madison alone in their own little world. Madison's legs crossed over Ephram's as her arms wrapped around his neck, whispering sweet nothings into his ear. Ephram smiled as he lowered his head and closed his eyes. Just the feeling of Madison surrounded him with happiness. He looked up and whispered in her "do you realize just how much I love you?" he paused before continuing "I love you so much that not even the deepest ocean could equal half of it."
Madison chuckled "too bad we have this reception to go to, I'd much rather be in your arms than surrounded by all these people"
"ditto" replied Ephram as he kissed her cheek.
"I'm gonna throw the cork at you two if you dont join US!" laughed Yanu with his arm raised to throw the cork.
Just then the limo had stopped and parked in front of the country club to let everybody out.
It seemed as though everybody was already at the country club, just waiting around inside and out to congratulate Ephram and Madison. Madison looked so beautiful, a simple strapless wedding gown that barely hit the floor. As they made their way inside, Bright threw himself across the room when he saw them and patted Ephram on his shoulder then jokingly said "they got an open bar! But the thing is, they require ID-"
"no" was all Ephram could say because he knew where this was headed
"hear me out!" he cleared his throat and looked around "oh, I'm going to steal this guy for a second" and walked a few paces with his arm around Ephram's shoulders to get out of ear shot of the adults. "I was informed" he said in a low voice, "that everybody is getting carded except the people at the head table..."
"What are you saying Bright?" asked Ephram as he cocked his head.
"well...uh, you know...you're at the head table."
"I'm not drinking Bright, we know what happens when I drink, I get stupid. SO, instead of asking me" he pointed to Mindy who was coming back from the bar "go ask Mindy, she'll help you out"
Bright slapped Ephram's hand and said "Thanks dawg, I owe you!"
"not really" Ephram said under his breath as he shook his head amused. He decided to go find his girlfriend, oh wait, his WIFE, of which he smiled intently just at the thought. He actually found Delia with his son first, they were just coming in from playing with the other kids outside. Ephram picked up his son and gave him a big hug before giving him back to Delia. He began looking around again, then it seemed as though his heart skipped a beat as his eyes landed on Madison, halfway across the room. She seemed even more beautiful now than ever before. Just then somebody smacked him on the back, which apparently was enough to knock Ephram out of his daze, of which he was holding his breath which made him sort of cough. Before the person who hit him could say 'congratulations', Ephram made a quick beeline for Madison. Her beauty was radiant as the sunshine came in through the glass and hit her at such an angle it looked as though she were an angel. Madison saw him and smiled brightly but before the two could hug or even touch each other, people grabbed the two of them and did their own thing with them.
Finally they got to sit down and have a toast, ate dinner and had the first dance. People got to dance with either one of them if they paid a dollar. Bright, the buzzed, light drinker that he is, decided to pay a dollar to dance with Ephram, "Mindy is so cool!" he chuckled as he and Ephram went around in circles. But Ephram wasnt paying too much attention, his eyes and mind were focused more on Madison, who seemed to glance every so often at him. He wanted to spend some time with her without interuption and he figured that once everybody got done having their way with the two of them and were drunk enough then he and Madison could have their time. He had to be patient.
(A/N; there is more of the wedding reception, I just wanted to get this part done and out of the way and to let you all know I'M STILL WRITING and the second part of this chapter should be really fun. Thanks guys!)
