Chapter 50 coming soon...
Tobias POV
As soon as our lips touch it's as if the world around us has disappeared and it's only Tris and I. It's official: we are married. This is truly the best moment of my life. I'm not sure how much time passes before I dip Tris back briefly before setting her straight again and we break our first kiss as husband and wife. We smile at each other before turning to face the cheers from our family and friends. I feel a hand on my shoulder and turn to see Zeke grinning at me. I look out at the crowd again and see my mother smiling, with tears in her eyes. I know today wouldn't have been the same without her.
Finally I take Tris' hand in mine and we walk up the aisle. I stop briefly in front of my mother who gives me a kiss on the cheek. I smile at her, a silent thank you. We walk into a private room to have a moment to ourselves. We stare at each other smiling and speechless.
"I love you, Mrs. Eaton." I finally say, putting emphasis on her new name.
She grins at me. "I love you too. And I quite like the sound of my new name, especially coming from my husband's lips."
I kiss her briefly. "We should get back out there."
"Yeah. Christina is probably waiting to crush me with a hug."
I chuckle. "My mom will probably do the same to me."
"I'm glad she was here."
"Honestly, I don't think it would've been the same without her."
Tris places a hand on my cheek and smiles. We walk out of the room hand in hand to everyone gathered in the courtyard. When they start to notice us they begin to cheer again. Christina runs up to Tris pulling her away from me as I turn and step towards my mother and give her a hug.
"Thanks for everything, mom."
"I'm very proud of you, Tobias. I know you and Tris will have a long and happy marriage."
I smile and hug her again before making my way over to Hana to give her a hug as well. She's always been like a second mother to me and has even said that I am like her third son.
Soon after we are called for pictures as all of our guests continue to mingle around the courtyard enjoying drinks and appetizers. The property is actually really beautiful which the photographer is excited about and makes sure to get really good shots. There is so much greenery and even a little pond.
Finally we make our way back as the reception is about to start. When all of our guests are finally inside the reception hall, we all line up outside the door. One by one the DJ announces each member of our bridal party. When Zeke and Christina enter the door closes for a few seconds then opens again as the DJ announces Tris and I. As we walk in all I hear is loud cheers.
We are able to sit down and eat despite all the chaos of people congratulating us. The food is amazing and I also can't help but stare at the huge Dauntless cake Amar ordered for us. He also ordered smaller versions of the other desserts on the menu at Caesar's for everyone to enjoy.
The DJ gets everyones attention to announce that it's time for Tris and I to have our first dance. I take Tris' hand and lead her to the middle of the dance floor. My hands go around her waist while hers snake around my neck as the song starts.
"I don't think I've told you how absolutely beautiful you look." I say close to her ear.
I feel her shiver from my breath on her skin. She smiles shyly. "Thank you." She whispers.
I notice she looks a little uncomfortable and I immediately know why.
"Don't look at them. Pretend they're not here. Just focus on me. I've got you."
Finally she meets my eyes and smiles. We continue to sway to the music not looking anywhere else but at each other. I kiss her forehead then finally her lips as the song ends. We previously told the DJ that there was gonna be two father-daughter dances and two mother-son dances to even it out so he announces next the first of the two father-daughter dances as well as the first mother-son dance.
Evelyn joins me on the dance floor as Amar takes his turn first with Tris. When the song ends Hana takes Evelyn's place with me as Tris dances with Jack.
When we all sit down again the DJ gives a microphone to Zeke who will deliver his best man's speech. I warned him that he better not embarrass me. He laughed but assured me that he wouldn't.
"Hello everyone. For those who don't know me I'm Tobias' best friend. I was given very strict instructions not to say anything embarrassing and since Tobias is basically like this bad ass former military guy, I knew I had to obey. Tobias is more than my friend though. He's basically my older brother. The truth is that when we were teenagers I probably dragged him on way too many double dates that were disastrous for him. Then he up and leaves me to join the military. I hoped everyday that he'd come back. I missed my best friend, my brother. As sappy as it sounds, I couldn't have been happier when he came home. Then he met Tris and did it totally on his own. When he told me that he had met someone I'll admit I was a little shocked. The way he talked about her though I knew something had to be special about this girl. When we all finally got the chance to meet her, she exceeded my expectations. Tris not only had outer beauty but inner beauty as well. She has brought out a side of Tobias that I had never seen before. She has helped him be the best person that he can be. So, I just hope that Tobias and Tris have a long and happy marriage and life together. Cheers!"
Everyone raises their glasses and Zeke and I share a brotherly hug. He then hands the microphone to Christina.
"Good evening, everyone. I'm Christina. Tris and I somehow became friends despite having little in common but I couldn't have asked for a better friend than her. She is truly an amazing person with so many amazing qualities. Sometimes she doesn't see how amazing she is but I guess a lot of us have that insecurity at times. We've shared a lot of memories together, good and bad, but we've always stuck by each other. We have opposite personalities but I think we balance each other out. What I love about Tris is how selfless and strong she is. I'll never forget the night she told me that she met Tobias. She and I had dinner plans then I ended up getting sick but still encouraged her to go out. While she didn't take me seriously, I told her that maybe she'd meet someone. And yeah maybe sometimes I say ridiculous things but I said that because I wanted her to find happiness and it turns out that she did. I saw just how in love with Tobias that Tris became and I know that no matter what their love will stand the test of time. So cheers to the bride and groom!"
We raise our glasses again and Tris smiles and hugs Christina. Afterwards its time for the bouquet and garter toss. All the girls line up to catch the bouquet and Shauna catches it. I see a little disappointment in Christina's eyes but she's still smiling as Will comes up to her and kisses her cheek. Zeke looks a little terrified but still grins huge. I give him a look that says "you better catch this garter." He nods at me as I walk onto the dancefloor and all the guys gather a few feet behind me. I fling the garter over my shoulder and hear the guys scrambling to catch it. I turn around just in time to see Zeke holding it above his head and yelling. The photographer then has Tris and I take a photo with Zeke and Shauna. I walk up to Zeke and whisper in his ear.
"You better not wait too much longer."
"I know. I think it's definitely time. I don't wanna marry anyone else and I also really don't wanna be dating around anymore."
I clap him on the shoulder. "Proud of you, buddy."
I take Tris' hand and we walk over to the cake and both hold the knife as we cut it. Tris smears a little frosting on my lips and kisses it off but keeps it PG due to our audience and I do the same and also smear some on her cheeks. We make our way back to our seats as the DJ announces that the dancefloor is open and begins playing a song.
Tris and I make our way to all the tables thanking everyone then she pulls me onto the dancefloor. We dance a few songs and I take Tris' heels off for her.
When it's time for us to leave a few people give us one last hug. Christina tells Tris that our suite is ready. I hug my mom and Hana again before saying goodbye to Zeke and the boys. Zeke gives me wink, telling me to have fun. I almost roll my eyes but I can't help but grin a little at the thought of spending my wedding night with my beautiful wife.
I take Tris' hand and lead her out the door as everyone cheers. We take the elevator up to our suite. The hallway is quiet. I take out the keycard and open the door. We step inside and see that the room is somewhat dark but lit up with candles everywhere. Walking further in we see that the bed has rose petals lined up in the shape of a heart over it. There's also a bucket of ice with a champagne bottle inside, two glasses, and a small plate of chocolate strawberries on the table across from the bed.
"Wow! This is all so beautiful." Tris exclaims.
I nod. Even I have to admit that the girls outdid themselves.
"So, would you like some champagne, Mrs. Eaton?"
"Yes, please."
I pop open the bottle luckily without making a mess and pour it in both glasses.
"What shall we toast to?"
"Well, I wanna toast to my gorgeous wife who was crazy enough to marry me and also toast to a beautiful life together."
"Then I wanna toast to my handsome husband who is the best person I've ever known and who I can't wait to start a family with."
We smile at each other and clink our glasses together. After taking a sip I grab a strawberry and bring it close to Tris' mouth, teasing her a little bit.
"Tobias, stop teasing!" She giggles.
I smirk before finally letting her bite into the strawberry. After swallowing it she takes a strawberry and holds it in front of me. I open my mouth just as she pulls it back and bites it. I scowl but smile.
"That wasn't very nice, Mrs. Eaton." I scold, playfully.
"Who said I was nice? Besides, two can play that game."
She holds out the bitten strawberry again and finally lets me eat the rest.
I grab another, hold it up and look from Tris to the strawberry then pop the whole thing in my mouth and grin at her as I chew. She rolls her eyes at me.
"I'm not very nice either." I whisper in her ear. She shoves me lightly in response.
We finish our champagne and I set the empty glasses back on the table. Tris stands and smirks at me again.
"Would you be so kind, Mr. Eaton?" She asks, gesturing to her dress.
I smirk and stand up as she turns around. I begin slowly untying her dress, starting from the top. I kiss one of her exposed shoulders and the side of her neck. I let her dress drop to the floor once I get all the ties undone. She carefully steps out and picks up the dress, gently draping it over the chair. She stands in nothing but her white lingerie undergarments which I'm guessing the girls, specifically Christina, made her wear. Before I can continue she tugs at my suit jacket and I shrug it off my shoulders. She untucks my white dress shirt and begins unbuttoning it. Once it's off she reaches for the hem of my white undershirt, lifting it over my head. Her hands trail down my torso to my pants. She unbuttons them and pulls them down. I step out of them. We move to the bed and carefully remove the rose petals before getting underneath the sheets. Finally our lips meet. We remove the rest of our clothes and get lost in each other. Definitely the perfect ending to a perfect day.
A/N: So this chapter took me a while but now it's done. I wanted to add as many details as possible so hopefully it's not too overly detailed. Being too detailed may be a general flaw of mine and it sometimes makes it difficult to write which is why I take my time with these chapters. Hopefully I can improve on that for future fanfics that I write. Next chapter coming as soon as possible.
