AN- I just want to let everyone know that I used the vows from the show in this chapter because I thought that they went along with this story because of everything that had happened to them in the story. By the way, I have a bad habit of forgetting to say this, but I don't own anything that belongs to Charmed, but I do own all the characters that I had made up for this story.
Ch.33
It was later on that day. Prue and Phoebe were now downstairs getting ready to go to the church that her sister, mother, and grandmother were married in. It had basically become a tradition to be married there. Leo, Victor, Chris, Adam, Andy, Darryl, Rick, and Nathan were downstairs waiting for their limo. Finally, it arrived and all 8 of them left. Right after they left, Grams, Amy, Piper, Shelia, Natalie, and Erin came downstairs. Piper and Grams were carrying Piper's dress, which was the same one her mother wore on her wedding day, while Prue, Phoebe, Shelia, Erin, and Natalie carried their bridesmaids' dresses. Amy followed them out of the house and into the limo with Piper's bouquet.
An hour later, they arrived at the church and practically ran inside. They were half an hour late due to traffic. Piper ran into her room, right after Leo ran into his. Another half an hour later, Leo was waiting for her, Darryl, Adam, Rick, Nathan, and Andy stood off to the side as his best men. Everyone was coming into the church, as Leo stood there and watched. He couldn't believe that today was actually happening. He was actually going to marry his first and only love, the love of his life, and the mother of his children. On his side, sat his parents, his two aunts and his two uncles, cousins, and some of his friends. On Piper's side sat Grams, with Charlotte and Matt sitting on her lap, Taylor and Alex sitting on either side of her, some of her family and friends.
After 10 minutes, everyone was sitting and the music started. As soon as it did, Lizzy and Emily both walked down as the flower girls. They were followed by Jacob, as the ring barrier, and then followed by Prue, Phoebe, Shelia, Erin, and Natalie. They were Piper's bride maids. Finally, the wedding march started and Leo watched as everyone stood up and waited for her. Then, they saw her, walking with Victor. He saw her walking up the aisle and immediately felt his breath getting caught in his throat. He had never seen her look this beautiful before. Just about a minute later, she was standing in front of him and the priest started talking. Then, he got to the part they were waiting for. It was now time for their vows. Leo started, "
Piper, through all the tears
and struggles, I always knew in my
heart that we would make it
here. I promise to love and
respect you from this point
forever as your husband. As my
wife, my lover, my friend,
and my soulmate. All I am is yours."
Then came Piper's vows, "
Leo, you are the best thing that's ever
happened to me. I was afraid that you
were too good to be true, that maybe I
didn't deserve someone so pure and
beautiful and loving as you are. But here
we are surrounded by the people that I love the
most and I feel so proud, and so blessed to be your wife.
Leo, I was born to love you and I always
will."
After they had said their vows, and exchanged rings, it got to the part that they couldn't wait for.
"Do you Leo take Piper to be your wife?" the priest asked.
"I do," Leo replied.
"Do you Piper take Leo to be your husband?" the priest asked again.
"I do," Piper said.
"Well," the priest started, "if anyone gives any reason why these two should not be joined, speak now or forever hold you peace." Piper and Leo just stood there, staring at each other, as everyone else looked around. Grams saw Amy was about to say something, but stopped herself and smiled instead at her son. She smiled when she saw that. "You may now kiss your bride," the priest said. Leo didn't hesitate and immediately kissed her. "I know present to you Mr. and Mrs. Leo Wyatt!" the priest said happily, before everyone stood up and clapped for them. After the wedding, they had gone to the reception. There, Piper and Leo sat down at the table, as Adam stood up and made a toast to them.
When he was done, he looked at them and said, "Now, as tradition for all newlyweds, it's time for their first dance together." Leo stood up and held out his hand to Piper. She smiled at him, before taking his hand and standing up. They walked out to the dance floor as everyone watched. As soon as they stepped out, the music started and they started to dance together.
'Oh, thinkin' about all our younger years,
There was only you and me,
We were young and wild and free
Now nothin' can take you away from me
We've been down that road before
But that's over now,
You keep me comin' back for more
Baby, you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms,
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need,
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
Oh, once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around,
Bring you up when you're feelin' down
Yeah, nothin' could change what you mean to me
Oh, there's lots that I could say
But just hold me now,
Cause our love will light the way
Baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms,
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
I've been waitin' for so long
For somethin' to arrive,
For love to come along
Now our dreams are comin' true,
Through the good times and the bad,
Yeah, I'll be standin' there by you
Baby, you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms,
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need,
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven'
After they had finished, they had called for the father/daughter dance. Piper stood back up and walked out with her father. Once again the music had started and they danced together.
'Just once upon a yesterday
I held you in my arms
You grew into a little girl
with lovely childhood charms
Now it seems I only turned around
And I see you by his side
Oh, I can't believe my eyes today
My Daughter is a Bride
I guess somehow I always knew
This day would soon be here
Still I wonder as I look at you
What became of all the years
And no words could ever quite express
The way I feel inside
Oh, I can't believe my eyes today
My Daughter is a Bride
All the laughter and the teardrops
The sunshine and the rain
I would relive every moment, Dear
If I could bring them all back again
But now, My Love, the time has come
To send you on your way
So I wish you every happiness
And the blessings of this day
And I hope the love I've given you
Will forever be your guide
Oh, I can't believe my eyes today
My daughter - Oh, I can't believe my eyes
My Daughter - Oh, my angel and my pride
My Daughter is a Bride'
After that dance, they had announced the mother/son dance. Leo sat there for a second. His mother noticed this and her heart ached. She knew why he did and felt like crying once again for doing everything she did to them. He hesitated, before standing up and walking over to his mother. He wasn't sure if he really wanted to do this, but he didn't want to ruin his and Piper's day. He walked over to his mother and held out his hand for her. Amy slowly looked up, tears in her eyes, and looked at him shocked.
"Please, Mom. I know your thinking about everything that happened in the past, but just forget that for today and don't make me just stand here," Leo said to her. She took a deep breath, before slowly taking his hand, standing up, and walking out to the dance floor. Everyone was quiet when they saw this. Leo looked over at Piper and saw her smiling at him, with tears in her eyes. He smiled back at her, before he heard the music start and they started dancing.
'I don't know where
The time has gone
Since those little boy days
Doesn't seem that long
Yet here you are
It's your wedding day
And there's one thing darling
I'd like to say...
(chorus)
Be kind, be sweet
Be a gentle man
Care and share
And always be fair
And remember though you now
Have taken a wife
You will always be my son
My Loving son
You filled my life
With so much joy
As I watched you grow
From that little boy
Now I'll try not to cry
As you walk away
And just once more darling
I'd like to say...
(chorus)
Be kind, be sweet
Be a gentle man
Care and share
And always be fair
And remember though you now
Have taken a wife
You will always be my son
My Loving son
Be kind, be sweet
Be a gentle man
Care and share
And always be fair
And remember though you now
Have taken a wife
You will always be my son
My Loving son'
After that dance, he smiled at his mother, before kissing her on the cheek, and going to sit back next to his wife. After the four-hour reception, they had finally got to go on their honeymoon to the Bahamas, thanks to Leo's father.
