''Welcome, let's begin shall we?''
The officiant smiles as both women nod their heads and looks around. '' My name is Lorenzo Brown, and I have the privilege of performing this ceremony today. On behalf of Santana Maria Lopez and Brittany Susan Pierce, welcome and thank you for being here.
They are thrilled that you are here today to share in their joy during this wonderful moment in their lives.
By your presence, you celebrate with them the love they have discovered in each other and you support their decision to commit themselves to one another for the rest of their lives.''
He straightens up and looks around at the guests. ''If anyone has cause to object to the forming of this union, speak now or forever hold your peace.''
He smiles as no one stands up and nods his head. '' Thank god.'' He waits till everyone stops chuckling and looks at the women in front of him. '' Brittany Susan Pierceand Santana Maria Lopez, as you learn to live as one; you will encounter many challenges that can help you grow. Spend time doing the things that make life precious—cooperate with each other, always make time to laugh together, and never lose appreciation for the love that you share. Remember, too, to adhere to the vows that you will make today. ''
He takes a break letting what he said sink in and continues with a small smile. ''Seek strength from each other, give hope to each other, and let your trials help you grow together. They say love can build bridges and climb mountains — and they're right. You will find that as it grows and matures over time, your love for one another will prove both fulfilling and empowering. ''
He closes his small book and smiles. ''I now invite you to express your sacred vows to one another. Please face each other as you declare these vows before the Universe and in the presence of your family and friends. ''
Brittany turns to face her soon to be wife and smiles, the official smiles and nods his head to Santana. '' Santana you may start.''
Santana takes both of Brittany's hands and squeezes softly, she looks her in the eyes and smiles. '' Britt-Britt since the day we met I knew you would be someone special to me, weeks later I realized I met my one true love, the women I can't live without.''
She bites her lip as she feels tears burning in her eyes and sighs softly. "You have been my best friend, mentor, playmate, confidant, and my greatest challenge. But most importantly, you are the love of my life and you make me happier than I could ever imagine and more loved than I ever thought possible. You have made me a better person, as our love for one another is reflected in the way I live my life. So I am truly blessed to be a part of your life, which as of today becomes our life together."
Lorenzo smiles as she finishes and turns to Brittany. '' Brittany now it's your time to make your promise.''
Brittany lets go of one of Santana's hands and wipes away her tears, she takes Santana's hand again and smiles slightly. '' I don't know if I can top that.''
She smiles as everyone chuckles and looks her fiance in the eyes, she releases a shuddering breath and squeezes her hands softly. '' Santana the day you asked me out on a date was the best day of my life, you noticed how scared I was to ruin it and since then you make sure to let me know how much you love me.''
She bites her lip and glances down at their hands. '' You are the first person who broke down my walls with only one smile.'' She glances at the guests and turns back locking eyes with Santana. '' You gave me a loving family and another son, sometimes I feel like I am still dreaming but then you walk in with our boys and I know that I am living my dream.''
She sniffles softly and smiles as Santana softly squeezes her hands. '' I believe in you, the person you will grow to be and the couple we will be together. With my whole heart, I take you as my wife/husband, acknowledging and accepting your faults and strengths, as you do mine. I promise to be faithful and supportive and to always make our family's love and happiness my priority. I will be yours in plenty and in want, in sickness and in health, in failure and in triumph. I will dream with you, celebrate with you, and walk beside you through whatever our lives may bring. You are my person—my love, my life and my everything, today and always. ''
Lorenzo sees no dry eye in the crowd and smiles, he looks at them and nods his head. '' Please keep your hands joined Under the eyes of the Universe, Santana Maria Lopez, do you take Brittany Susan Pierce to be your lawfully wedded wife? Do you promise to support her completely and love her unconditionally, so long as you both shall live? ''
Santana nods her head and smiles. '' I do.''
He turns to Brittany and smiles. '' Brittany Susan Pierce do you take Santana Maria Lopez to be your lawfully wedded wife? Do you promise to support her completely and love her unconditionally, so long as you both shall live?''
Brittany looks into Santana's tears filled eyes and nods her head. '' I do.''
'' Very well let us proceed.'' He looks steps closer and smiles. '' It is now time to exchange the rings. The circle formed by each ring is a symbol of your love and eternal commitment to each other. May these rings remind you always of these sacred promises you've made to each other today in the company of your family and friends.''
Bryan and Santi both step onto the altar holding the small pillow with the rings and stand next to their mothers, Lorenzo smiles and turns to Santana. '' Santana Maria Lopez you will go first, please repeat after me.''
Santana takes the ring from her sons and thanks them softly, she turns back to Brittany and takes her left hand. She smiles slightly and repeats after Lorenzo. '' I, Santana Maria Lopez, give you Brittany Susan Pierce this ring as a symbol of my love, commitment, and the eternal vows we have made today to each other. With this ring, I thee wed. ''
Lorenzo turns to Brittany and smiles. '' Your turn Brittany.''
Brittany takes the ring from the boys and turns to face Santana, she repeats after Lorenzo and slides the ring on Santana's left hand. '' I, Brittany Susan Pierce, give you Santana Maria Lopez this ring as a symbol of my love, commitment, and the eternal vows we have made today to each other. With this ring, I thee wed.''
Lorenzo waits till the boys sit back down and turns to the women in front of him. '' By the power vested in me, by the state of California and by the Universal Life Church, I pronounce you, Santana Maria Lopez and Brittany Susan Pierce as wife and wife, lawfully wedded before the Universe. ''
He turns to look at Brittany and smiles. '' You may now kiss the bride.''
Brittany pulls Santana in by her hands and pulls her in a kiss, she ignores their tears and dips her down. Santana tightens her arms around Brittany's neck and slowly pulls away as Brittany stands back up, she looks her wife in the eyes and wipes away her tears.
Lorenzo turns to the guests and smiles. '' Ladies and gentlemen, it is with great honor that I officially present to you Mrs. and Mrs. Brittany and Santana Lopez!''
Brittany smiles as Santana's eyes widen and nods her head as she looks at her the question clearly written in her eyes. '' Surprise.''
She moans softly as Santana crashes their mouths together and wraps her arms around her waist, she slowly pulls away as she feels tears on her face and wipes away her wife's tears.
She let's go of her wife as she feels two little bodies crash into her and looks down, she smiles as the boys look up at her and picks Santi up. Santana picks Bryan up and they both place a kiss on their heads, Brittany wraps her arms around her wife's waist and leads her down the altar.
She stops in the hall and places the boys down, she stumbles back as Emily tackles her in a hug and wraps her arms tightly around her sister. She looks up and sees Maribel, Lio and Emilio hugging Santana, she places a kiss on her sisters head and smiles.
Emily pulls out of the hug and kisses her sister on the cheek. '' That was really beautiful sis, congratulations.''
Brittany smiles and wipes away her sisters tears. '' Thank you lil one.''
She smiles as Kevin, Mike and Tina join them and hugs them, Tina wipes away her tears and smiles. '' That was a beautiful ceremony Britt.''
Mike nods his head in agreement and hugs her again, he kisses her on the head and chuckle. '' Our dragon got married.''
Brittany chuckles and smiles as Santana joins them, she chuckles as Emily tackles her in a hug and turns to Lio as he clears his throat. Lio pulls her in a hug and places a kiss on her head. '' Welcome to the family mija.''
Maribel joins the hug and smiles. '' I am so proud to call you my daughter in law, the ceremony was beautiful B.''
Brittany pulls out of the hug and kisses them on the cheek, she smiles as Maria immediately tackles her in a hug and smiles as Daniel, Fernando, Eduardo and Alma joins them.
After thanking them she looks around and sees her wife talking to Sue. Ellen and Portia, she excuses herself and walks to them. Sue smiles as she sees the blonde join them and pulls her in a hug, Brittany smiles as Sue congratulate her and kisses her on the cheek.
She steps back and smiles as Ellen immediately hugs her with Portia joining, she thanks them too and pulls out of the hug. She sighs contently as Santana takes place in her arms and wraps her arms around her, Santana looks up and smiles. '' You okay wifey?''
Brittany chuckles and places a kiss on her forehead. '' Perfectly fine Gorgeous.''
She smiles as the boys join them and turns around as someone clears his throat, Emilio stands on a chair and looks at them. '' I think it's time for the pictures and after that we can celebrate my sisters wedding!''
Brittany and Santana both smile and walk towards him, after kissing him on the cheek they all walk out of the building and the camera man sets up his camera. Brittany and Santana walk down to him and smile, he looks up and smiles. '' Congratulations Mrs Lopez, do you want the pictures alone first or the group pictures first?''
'' First the group pictures please.'' Santana answers with a smile, the man nods his head and smiles.
Brittany and Santana both walk back and pick up their boys, Brittany places Bry on her hip and walks to the middle of the stairs. She wraps her arm around her wife and smiles as everyone else circle around them.
After a few pictures the group step to the side and Kevin takes the boys from them, Brittany and Santana walk to the big tree on the field in front of the venue and Brittany stands against it.
Santana stands in front of her facing her and looks up at her, Brittany looks down and smiles slowly cupping her jaw. She captures her lips with her own keeping it soft and wraps one arm around Santana's waist.
Santana slowly pulls back and lays her head against Brittany's chest, Brittany runs a hand down her back and looks down at her with a small smile.
After a few more pictures Brittany looks at the man and smiles. '' Can we take two more pictures with our sons?''
She calls them over as soon as he nods his head and smiles as they sprint towards them, Santana picks Bryan up as he stops in front of her and Britt scoops Santi up in her arms. Not knowing that the man captured that too.
Santana leans back again her wife and smiles as Bryan lays his head against her shoulder and smile as both boys join their hands on her shoulder.
After taking a few more pictures, Brittany places a kiss on her sons head and smiles. '' Will you follows aunt Em and uncle Kev inside?''
She smiles as both boys nod their heads and watches them run back, she looks down at her wife and smiles. '' Ready to celebrate?''
Santana nods her head and smiles, she walks with her wife op the steps of the stairs and walks back inside.
They both walk through the big doors and smile as everyone cheers, they walk to the long table where everyone sits and Brittany pulls the chair out for Santana. She sits down after placing a kiss on her wife's head and smiles as the waiter brings them a plate with finger food and a glass of champagne.
Emily stands up as everyone is seated and ate something and hits a spoon against her glass, she smiles as everyone looks at her and locks eyes with Santana. '' I think I can skip the introduction because everyone knows me.''
She smiles as everyone chuckles and looks at Santana. '' San since the day Brittany recorded Up with you, I noticed a subtle change. I saw my sister and my nephew open up to you almost immediately, I also saw how scared that made her.''
She glances at her sister and smiles. '' But you broke down those walls and took the fear away, I can see how happy you make my sister and my nephew. But you are also my best friend.''
She raises her glass and smiles. '' Thank you for giving us a family and for loving us like we are even if we are a little broken, welcome to our crazy family I love you.''
Santana raises her glass and smiles. '' Thank you Em, I love you too.''
Mike stands up next and looks at Santana. '' Santana the day Brittany introduced you to us I knew you were the one for her, I could see it in Britt's eyes but I could also hear it in your voice when I warned you not to break her.''
He looks at his best friend and smiles. '' You broke down dragons walls and you make her happy, I never saw her smile so brightly and never saw her eyes shine with so much love.''
Tina stands up and cuts in. '' We know Britt for seven years now and we never saw her bright up so much since she gave birth, she brightens up as soon as you enter the room and I can see how much you love her and I am sure that even though Brittany is the protector that you will defend your family too.''
They both raise their glass and smile. '' We are happy to call you our friend and congratulations.''
Brittany looks down as a tear drips down and she quickly wipes it away, Santana turns to her and places a kiss on her cheek. '' You okay baby?''
Brittany nods her head and smiles slightly. '' I still can't really believe it.'' Santana smiles and plays with the engagement ring on her right hand, they both look back up as glasses clink again and they smile as the boys stand with Emilio, Maribel and Lio.
Lio looks at his daughter and smiles. '' Santanita the day you called us and told us about Brittany, that is the day we knew you found your soulmate. You spoke so highly of her and you warned us that she might lash out at your abuela when she hurts one of you.''
Maribel nods her head in agreement and smiles. '' The day it did happen she didn't lash out but comforted you, three months later she made sure to visit Alma and managed to pull her out of her thoughts and back into your life. That is what I call love mija, Brittany will do everything to make you happy.''
Lio looks at the blonde girl and smiles. '' Brittany we heard you tell stories about your family and told us that you are afraid to be like them. But you are your own person and you are an amazing young lady, I am glad my daughter met you and I am honored to call you our daughter in law.''
Maribel nods her head and smiles. '' We gained a daughter in law today, but it feels like we gained two daughters and a grandson, you guys just belong in our family.''
Emilio steps forward and smiles. '' The way Santana talks about you, shows us how much she loves you. And you don't even need words, the look in your eyes is answer enough for us. You protected my sister against your parents, but sometimes you have to step back and let someone protect you and I know for sure that my sister will do just that.''
'' You belong to this family Brittany just like your sister and your son, to me all three of you are Lopez's and not Pierce. You gave me back my granddaughter, and we will always make sure our door is open for you and we will make sure you know that you have a family.'' Alma says as she joins her son.
Santi looks at Brittany and smiles. '' I just wanted to say thank you for making mami so happy mommy.''
Bryan nods his head in agreement and smiles. '' Yes mami, thank your for making mommy so happy and giving us a loving and fun family.''
Brittany smiles and wipes away her tears, she lifts her glass and looks at the group. '' Thank you all for..'' She bites her lip thinking of something but slowly shakes her head with tears dripping down her cheek. '' Thank you for everything.''
Santana wipes away her own tears and takes a shuddering breath. '' Thank you mami, papi, Emilio and abuela.''
Brittany looks at Santi and smiles. '' I will always try to protect you and your mami, and I will do everything to keep you happy.''
Santana locks eyes with Bryan and nods her head in agreement. '' Same goes for me mijo.''
Everyone wipe away their tears and look up as the doors open, they smile as Kevin and Mike roll in the cake. Kevin turns to them and smiles. '' It's time to cut the cake.''
Brittany sees the DJ building up his place and nods her head, she slowly stands up and offers Santana her hand. Santana takes it and smiles as she pulls her up, they both walk to the cake and thank the caterer as he congratulates them and hands them a knife.
Brittany takes place behind Santana and together they take a hold on the knife, Brittany wraps her other arm around Santana's waist and together they slowly cut the cake.
They place the first piece on a plate and Santana takes it, she takes the fork Emilio holds out for her and takes a small bite on the fork. She holds it up for Brittany and locks eyes with her as she takes the bite, Brittany does the same for Santana and smiles as she hums softly at the caramel taste.
Brittany turns to the caterer after everyone had a piece of cake and nods her head to the top tier. '' The top one is without mouse, can you please cut a piece and wrap it in?''
The caterer nods his head knowing she wants to freeze it in and smiles, Brittany thanks him with a smile and wraps her arms back around her wife.
She opens her mouth as Santana offers her another bite and hums softly at the sweet taste. '' We picked out the perfect cake babe.''
Santana hums in agreement and leans back into her, Emily snaps a picture of them and sends it in the group chat.
After everyone ate their cakes, the DJ steps on stage and lifts his Microphone. '' Good evening everyone, I would like to call Brittany and Santana Lopez on the dance floor for their first dance as wife and wife.''
