Chapter 12
Author's note- I really hope everyone likes this chapter.
It had been over a mouth since the US title match. Jake had severely torn a muscle in his leg and wasn't ready to get back in the ring yet. Each week RVD mocked Jake. But that wasn't important today. Today was the biggest day of Jake and Traci's life. Today was there wedding day.
After Jake got injured and they realized he would be out for mouths they decided to move up the wedding. Traci was ready and just waiting in the bride's room. Jake was in a room next to the chapel nervously doing every action but pacing. "Jake will you calm down," AJ said. "No I can't," Jake said.
"Jake if you don't calm down I am going to slap you," AJ said. "I have a right to nervous this is my wedding," Jake said. "Jake please take it easy the wedding is going to go just fine. And if by chance Jarrett and his goons show up than you have a bunch of wrestlers out there ready to kick there asses," AJ said. "That's what I am nervous about," Jake said. "Then what?" AJ asked. "Well last night Traci made me sleep at a hotel so we could go by tradition and there were these two women and I… I… gave them directions to the ice machine," Jake said enjoying the look on AJ's face.
"You no good..." AJ stammered out. "You had me scared me to death thinking you have done something stupid! I should kill you right now!" AJ yelled angrily. "Hey I'm calm now," Jake said. Jake's father came in. "Jake it's time," he said. Jake picked up the cane he was going to lean on during the wedding and stood up. "Come on best man," Jake said.
Traci was with her father waiting to walk down the isle. "Dad thank you for coming I know you don't like Jake," Traci said. "Honey I love you and you love Jake. I believe you when you say that Jake had changed. But if he ever hurts you I have a shot gun loaded. I love you," Traci's father said. "I love you to dad," Traci said.
The bridal march started. The wedding party made its way down. Finally Traci and her father came down the aisle. Jake stood at the alter leaning on his cane. Traci's father placed her hand on Jake's.
The Minster started to speak. "We are here to join Jake and Traci in holy matrimony. Who gives this woman to this man?" "Her mother and I father," Traci's father said. "Marriage is something not to be entered into lightly but something to proceed into with caution. The Bride and Groom have chosen to written there own vows," The priest said.
Jake spoke, "When we first meet I know there was something special about you. By the end of the night I know I was in love with you. When I know you loved me it was the greatest feeling in the world. That was until the day I got you back. I will never be perfect but with you I am as close as I will ever get. You are my heart my soul. I love you and I am the luckiest man in the world to make you my wife."
Traci with tears steaming down her face starts to speak, "What we feel for each other is so powerful it's hard to believe that a little word like love is big enough to describe it. But it does some how. When we were apart it was the hardest time in our lives. But some how we were able to find our way our back. I knew the man you were once before. I see the man you are now and you are better that man. Now as we stand here ready to start our life together I know the man you will be will be the greatest of them all."
The Minster spoke again, "Jake do you take Traci to be your lawfully wedded wife to have and to hold from this day forward? In sickness and in health? In rich and in poor? From this day forward as long as you both shall live?" "I do," Jake said. The Minster turned to Traci, "Traci do you take Jake to be your lawfully wedded husband to have and to hold from this day forward? In sickness and in health? In rich and in poor? From this day forward as long as you both shall live?" "I do," Traci said.
"The rings please," the Minister said. AJ hands Jake a ring and Traci's maid of honor hands her a ring. "Jake place the ring on Traci's finger and repeat after me. With this ring I the wed." Jake puts the ring on Traci's finger and says, "With this ring I the wed." "Traci, place the ring on Jake's finger and repeat after me with this ring I the wed." Traci puts the ring on Jake's finger and says, "With this ring I the wed,"
"By the power vested in my by the state of Florida I now pronounce you husband and wife you may kiss your bride," The minister says as Jake pulls into a kiss. Everyone stands and claps as Jake and Traci walk down the isle.
After the reception Jake and Traci get into the limo they rented to take them to the airport for there honeymoon. "I can not believe we finally made are married," Traci says. "Well believe it we are. I love you," Jake says. "I love you to," Traci says. They kiss.
