More lovely reviews! Thanks everybody. This chapter should be longer. I hope you all enjoy!
By the way, I wrote out a traditional Jewish wedding. I am Jewish and was at one yesterday (a wedding), so I tried to remember all that I could! Lol. I know that Seth is technically not Jewish since Kirsten isn't, but he was raised to be Jewish in a way, so I feel that he would want to have a Jewish wedding.
Today's Spotlight Reviewer:
Adambrody10: haha yes Cooper James is like Jimmy Cooper. The ironic thing is that you pointed it out even before I realized it! Lol!
1 year later
Seth took a deep breath and checked himself out in the mirror one last time. He had to admit, he looked pretty damn good. It still amazed him that today he was getting married to the woman he had loved since he was just 7 years old. Not only that, but at just 19 years old they already had 2 boys and Seth was still going to college at USC. Things were not the way he had expected, they were even better.
A knock at the hotel room door brought Seth out of his thoughts. Ryan stepped into the room and put his hand over Seth's right shoulder. "It's time to go buddy."
Seth gave a simple curt nod and followed Ryan out of the room and down the elevator. He and Summer were getting married on a lovely historic, and very private island called Salt Cay as a part of the Turks and Caicos islands on the beach, right outside of their hotel.
As Seth walked out and lined up in his order for walking down the aisle, his breath was immediately taken away. There were 3 rows of white chairs on either side of a long aisle which was covered in rose peddles. Up at the end of the aisle stood the 'chuppah,' a four-posted structure with a cover on top, traditionally used in Jewish weddings. Under the chuppah were yet more rose petals, and baskets of flowers hanging from the small roof. Beyond the ceremonial area was a long stretch of snow white sand, going as far as the eye could see, and a breathtaking view of the Caribbean ocean was right in front. As far as Seth could see, it was absolutely perfect. There weren't many guests, he and Summer had decided to keep it small. Just close friends and family were invited.
As the music started to play the guests turned around to watch those in the wedding walk down the aisle. When it was Seth's turn he took a deep breath and grabbed his mother's arm, striding down the aisle. "You look amazing honey." Kirsten whispered in her son's ear, tears coming to her eyes. She couldn't believe that her little boy was getting married.
Once everyone was in their places, the music changed as Summer began her walk down the aisle. Her father, much to Seth and Summer's surprise, had gleefully accepted Summer's request to walk her down the aisle. It came as a shock considering how much he had disapproved of Jake and Cooper. Seth remembered all too well Neil Roberts' last words when Summer had told him.
"I refuse to be affiliated with a pregnant 16 year old, let alone my pregnant daughter. If your choice is to keep this baby Summer, I refuse to be a part of your life."
Summer had been torn apart over it for months. Her father, her 'daddy' had kicked her out of the house and wanted nothing to do with her. The two who had been inseparable were suddenly not even acknowledging that the other existed. Seth's guess was that Neil had been feeling so guilty for refusing to be a part of his daughter's, and his grandchildren's lives for the past 3 years, that this was his way of apologizing.
Seth's eyes widened to double the normal size as he saw his gorgeous bride to be come closer. His Summer. God he loved her. She looked absolutely amazing. She wore a simple but elegant strapless Vera Wang gown which flattered her young, motherly curves in a graceful but sexy way. Her hair hung loosely in her natural, gorgeous waves at the side and her eyes lay only on Seth.
His heart did a little flip and she came closer and he walked over to take her arm from her father's. 4 years and 2 kids later she could still make him nervous. They turned to face the rabbi who was standing at the alter smiling at them.
The rabbi spoke in Hebrew for several minutes before asking for the rings. An almost 3 year old Jake walked up and handed him the rings which he had so carefully carried on a small pillow. For weeks now Jake was so excited to be the ring bearer at his parents wedding. He gave his sweet smile at his father before turning back as Kirsten picked him up.
"Seth Ezeikel, please repeat after me." The rabbi said as Seth held the ring over Summer's finger. "I Seth,"
"I Seth," Seth repeated strongly, for he was sure that there was nothing he wanted more in the world than Summer.
"Promise to love, and to care for,"
"Promise to love and to care for,"
"My bride, in sickness and in health,"
"My bride, in sickness and in health,"
"Until death do us part."
"Until death do us part." Seth finished, sliding the silver band onto Summer's slender finger. He could feel that Summer was shaking beneath him, but he knew that she was just as nervous and just as excited as he was.
The rabbi turned to Summer and asked her to repeat the same thing. And she did, sliding Seth's own wedding band onto his finger.
After the signing of the 'ketuba,' Seth and Summer were proclaimed to be man and wife. Seth crushed the glass beneath his foot and the guests all shouted, "Mazel Tov!"
It was then; finally that he could kiss Summer. He took her in his arms and gave her a long passionate kiss. "I'll love you forever," he whispered in her ear before heading back down the aisle, where they could finally have a few moments to be together, alone.
Short, I know, but I really wanted to get the wedding scene in. Next will be the wedding party and… baby #3! Hahaha. Hope ya'll enjoyed and please review to tell me what you thought!
