Ps: I found the vows on the net, I just mixed them together, and I tried to stay true to the characters ^^
The sun was slowly setting down the horizon, shining through the window of their little apartment. Cal was getting ready in front of the mirror, fixing his tie. It was the day of his wedding. He was happy, he was marrying his lover, but at the same time nervous, afraid that society would discover the ceremony and make the big lines in the newspaper. Jack came in, wearing a beautiful black suit, his dark blond hair combed back but some strands still falling into his bright blue eyes. They looked at each other and smiled, Jack came to him and hugged him from behind, resting his head on his shoulder, his cheek against his. Cal's hand automatically came on his, intertwining their fingers. In a few minutes they would be married, and nothing could come tear them apart.
"Are you ready?" Jack said, looking at their reflection in the mirror.
"Yeah, I think so" He responded.
"Hey don't be so nervous" Jack laughed, before kissing his cheek.
"I'm not" He tried to hide a small smile, "You forgot your tie, didn't you?"
"I can't fix it, so I'm not wearing it" He said casually.
"Oh no mister, you have to, it's not proper" Cal said, reaching for the tie. Jack pretended to pout but let him fix his tie. Cal tried to ignore the skin on Jack's neck silently begging to be kissed in a fueled passion..
"It's done" He said after a few minutes, eyeing him up and down, "You're just.. perfect"
"You are too" Jack said, coming closer to him, grabbing tenderly his head to kiss him on the mouth.
"I don't think I am"
"You are to me Cal, I love you and that's why I'm marrying you" At his words, all doubts he had vanished instantly. He loved him so much, and wanted to be with him forever.
"I love you too" For once he leaned in and kissed him, and Jack smiled in the kiss, wrapping his arms around his shoulders.
They opted for a little ceremony in a church, with only them and the priest, one of the few ones who had accepted to wed them, even if they were both males. The rings were resting on a beautiful red pillow, glistening in the sunshine. There were little candles on the floor, giving the church a relaxing and romantic atmosphere. The priest was talking, reciting some religious texts about marriage, Jack and Cal were facing each other, both handsome in their tuxedos, but none of them were really listening to the priest. They were brought back to reality when it was time to say their vows to each other.
"Cal, I promise to be your faithful husband. I vow to love you when the sun shines, when the rain falls, in sickness, and in health, through good times and bad. When you look at this ring, think of me and remember that I'll love you always, I vow to make you happy, to make you laugh, to cherish you, and to always be there for you" Jack paused, breathing in, his voice starting to shake with emotion, "I promise to be your navigator, sympathizer, sidekick, best friend, and your husband. Finally, I promise you myself" He said, feeling overwhelmed with emotion. Cal's eyes started to tear up at his words. In response, he squeezed his hands tighter.
"Jack, I.. You know me better than anyone else in this world and somehow still you manage to love me. You are my best friend and one true love. There is still a part of me today that cannot believe that I'm the one who gets to marry you" He breathed in, trying to keep control on his emotions, "I will take your love to give me hope, give me joy, and make me a better man. Without you I am nothing, with you I am more than myself, I promise to be the man that I see now in your eyes—today, tomorrow, and for always" He finished, his eyes glistening with tears of joy.
"Jack, do you take Cal to be your husband?" The priest asked.
"I do" He took the ring and slipped it on Cal's finger, smiling.
"Cal, do you take Jack to be your husband?" His heart skipped a bit. He couldn't believe it was happening for real.
"I do" He took the last ring and put it on Jack's finger. They looked at each other, their heart beating fast in their chests.
"Jack and Cal, you have expressed your love to one another through the commitment and promises you have just made. It is with these in mind that I pronounce you husband and husband, you may kiss"
They took each other's hands, with tears of joy in their eyes, and shared a kiss full of love and promises, that sealed their marriage forever.
Moments later, they were sitting on the beach, Cal resting between Jack's legs, and both of them were holding a champagne glass, watching the sunset together, listening to the howling waves, their wedding rings glistening with the sunshine.
"Are you happy?" Jack asked him, grazing his cheek against his.
"Yeah I am" Cal answered, "I can't believe this is for real"
"Me too, but it is.." He deposed a long but light kiss on his neck, making him shiver, "..forever" He continued to kiss his neck. Cal couldn't help himself but grinned. Now nobody or nothing could come tear them apart, even if they tried. He no longer didn't care about people's opinion on them, nothing could change his mind. He loved Jack with all his heart, he was happy with him, and that's all that mattered. Jack's urgent kisses on his shoulder brought him back to reality.
"Jack.. what are you-" He said, blushing suddenly, trying not to giggle.
"Shh" Jack whispered against his skin.
"Not here.. are you crazy..?" He said, trying to keep a serious expression, but he didn't manage to hold a light laugh. He turned his head to look in his bright blue eyes. Jack stopped and looked at him, getting lost in his warm hazel eyes. He was so cute looking at him with his still serious look of his, mixed with complete adoration toward him. And how he loved how rubbish his cheeks became when he smiled, added to a slight blush. He couldn't help but love him even more.
"I love you" He whispered.
"I love you too" Cal leaned in and kissed him on the mouth. They smiled in the kiss, not caring anymore about the shocked expression of passersby, they were determined to live their love to the fullest, and making each day count.
