Chapter 7: The Wedding
Danny was standing at the alter, as nervous as anyone could be, when the music began. Then he saw a little girl come into sight, the flower girl, Sam's second cousin, Clara. The 4 year old walked up the aisle in a cute little pink dress, throwing rose petals up and down the aisle. Then came little Rhys who was the ring bearer. He walked up the aisle carefully so he would not drop the rings. Then came the bridesmaids. Jazz and Tucker walked together (since she was maid of honor and he was best man), then came Edward and Mrs. Manson, then Maddie and Jack. Finally everyone stood up for the bride.
Danny lost his breath as he saw Sam walking with her father up the aisle. She had never looked more beautiful in her entire life. When she reached Danny he held out his hand, which she took and the service began.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, friends and family, we are gathered here today to join this man and this woman in marriage." The Pastor Williams said. "Marriage is a rocky road, with doubts, but no journey is greater because there is love, reward, loyalty, partnership, and trust. I understand that Danny and Sam have written their own vows. Danny you may start."
Danny sighed and started, "Samantha Manson, I've known you my whole life, and have always dreamed of this day. Now here we are. It's hard to believe, but we are here. Starting a new life together, the way we always planned. I promise to love you, stay by you, honor and cherish you for all the days I live…and longer."
Pastor Williams said, "Samantha, you may go."
Sam sniffed and dried her tears and started, "Daniel Fenton, when I met you on the playground that day in Kindergarten, only one word came to my mind, 'annoying'."
This statement made everyone, including Danny laugh.
"But," Sam started again, "Over time I realized you were not annoying, but protective. And that's what made me fall in love with you, your ability to care, love and protect. I promise that I will care, love, and protect you as long as I live…and longer."
By this time there wasn't a dry eye in the church. The pastor then asked who had the rings. Rhys held up his hand and handed Pastor Williams the rings. He took them and spoke again.
"Daniel, place this ring on Samantha's finger and repeat after me, 'With this ring I thee wed."
"With this ring I thee wed." Danny said slipping the ring onto her finger.
"Samantha place this ring on Daniel's finger and say, 'With this ring I thee wed."
Sam placed the ring on his finger, "With this ring I thee wed."
"Then if no one here has cause for objection, by the power invested in me I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Danny turned to the crowd and said, "My pleasure."
Everyone laughed, cried, and cheered as Danny kissed Sam passionately. They walked down the aisle as husband and wife.
