Me and Evie stood at the end of the aisle, slightly out of view so Ben couldn't see me. I felt my stomach start to flutter nervously as the wedding march started to play; I watched as Ben turned to try and see me but instead he watched as Jane, Lonnie and Freddie all slowly walked down the aisle. After they had walked down and took their places to the left hand side of the Cathedral Jay and Carlos then walked down the aisle as well; I had asked that Jay and Carlos to be heavily involved in our wedding, they were my family after all.
Now it was finally mine and Evie's turn, and as we stepped to the end of the aisle I watched as Ben stepped forward and he rocked on his feet slightly to steady his nerves. Me and Evie began our slow walk and I couldn't help but note that my mouth went really dry as my stomach continued to flutter.
I thought that I was getting overwhelmed by everything in this moment; but this was nothing compared to the moment that when Ben turned around and his eyes landed on me. I saw his eyes widen in shock and his moth dropped slightly; I heard Evie chuckle at my side and I squeezed her hand as we continued to make our way towards my beautiful husband.
As I took in the sight of my husband in I couldn't help but feel a note of lust start to form in the pit of my stomach; he was so dreamy and sexy. I hoped that we weren't going to be expected to stay in the public late into the night; as I wanted some time with my husband, some intimate time with him. I always thought that he looked so hot in his royal suit; as we nearly made it to him I shook my head. I think it is a combination of being kept apart from him last night and pregnancy hormones that was making me lust and crave Ben this way - I only hoped that I was going to be able to manage to keep it together until later on tonight.
As we stepped up to Ben; Evie took my left hand and offered it to Ben, who took it earnestly, I then stepped up to Ben and we both stood in front of Fairy Godmother as we both wrapped our arms around each other's waists.
"I would like to start off by saying thank you for coming to witness the King and his wife renew their vows-" I heard Fairy Godmother say as me and Ben continued to gaze lovingly into each other's eyes. "They were married around six weeks ago given the situation that surrounded them" she continued. "However they felt the need to still share this moment with you all; but I need to make you aware of something-" she stated as she told the congregation. "That this wedding ceremony will slightly different to a normal wedding ceremony as it is a renewal of vows" she explained. "I now invite you both to recall the vows you made on your wedding" she directed to Ben, who nodded - still not taking his eyes from mine. "Your Majesty please repeat after me" she instructed.
"I, King Benevolent Florian Adams of Auradon" she said.
"I, King Benevolent Florian Adams of Auradon" Ben repeated as smiled down at me.
"Take you to be my wife" Fairy Godmother continued.
"Take you to be my wife" Ben said proudly.
"Lady Adams" Fairy Godmother stated. "I, Lady Maleficent Bertha Adams" she instructed.
"I, Lady Maleficent Bertha Adams" I repeated.
"Take you to be my husband" she said.
"Take you to be my husband" I repeated once more.
"Please both say together after me" she advised, causing both of us to nod at this. "To have and to hold from this day forward" she continued.
"To have and to hold from this day forward" me and Ben said together happily.
"For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer" Fairy Godmother chanted.
"For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer" me and Ben continued.
"In sickness and in health, to love and to cherish" I heard Fairy Godmother add.
"In sickness and in health, to love and to cherish" me and Ben stated.
"Till death do us part, and this is our solemn vow" Fairy Godmother stated.
"Till death do us part, and this is our solemn vow" me and Ben repeated once more.
"Today, in the presence of our family, friends and the people of this kingdom, we affirm our continuing commitment to this vow" Fairy Godmother offered to us.
"Today, in the presence of our family, friends and the people of this kingdom, we affirm our continuing commitment to this vow" me and Ben promised.
"Will you, the family and friends of the married couple continue to support and uphold them in their marriage now and in the year to come?" Fairy Godmother asked.
"We will" I heard our family and friends call back.
"Normally at this stage we would exchange rings; but again this is slightly different" Fairy Godmother explained to the congregation. "Your Majesty, if you please?" she stated, causing Ben to finally tear his eyes from me to pull the ring box of mine and his wedding rings from his blazer pocket. I couldn't wait to get my wedding ring back onto my finger; when I took it off last night and gave it to Ben it felt weird. I knew that I was getting it back; but to take it off was something that did unsettle me - as I never wanted to remove my wedding ring, and after today I was never ever going to take it off. "I gave you this ring around six weeks ago as a sign of our marriage, with my body I honour you and everything I have I share with you" she advised happily with her trademark smile.
"I gave you this ring around six weeks ago as a sign of our marriage, with my body I honour you and everything I have I share with you" Ben vowed as his gaze locked with mine again.
"Thank you" Fairy Godmother replied. "Lady Adams?" she directed to me. "I gave you this ring around six weeks ago as a sign of our marriage, with my body I honour you and everything I have I share with you" she repeated.
"I gave you this ring around six weeks ago as a sign of our marriage, with my body I honour you and everything I have I share with you" I promised with a warm smile.
"It is my absolute pleasure to declare that you have declared your commitment to each other and you have renewed your wedding vows" Fairy Godmother declared excitedly. "Your Majesty-" she started. "You may kiss your bride!" she exclaimed proudly. I felt Ben's arms drop from my waist and he used both of his hands to carefully throw my veil over the top of my head and hood. I grinned at him and Ben wrapped his left arm back around my waist as his right hand cupped the left hand side of my face before he pressed a long and loving kiss against my lips. I grinned against his lips as I slid both of my hands against his chest; however before we could deepen the kiss we both heard Adam clear his throat which caused me and Ben to break apart and we cuddled together. The Cathedral began to fill with happy clapping and cheering; and as I watched the happy congregation celebrate me and Ben's renewal I couldn't help but feel elated. Against the odds me and Ben had made it; and nothing or no one was ever going to tear us apart again.
