Ch. 2
I won't lie with the threat of of possibly dying mine and Charlie's romance escalated quickly. After Maggie died we kinda went a little overboard, I am just saying there is nothing like the death of a loved one to make you value life more. Charlie and I got married, there wasn't really anyone who proposed one night after we had made loved we just decided to seize the moment and get married. Don't get me wrong I love Charlie and nothing makes me happier than getting to call myself her wife. We were married under a full moon, well I we weren't married in a traditional sense, we exchanged vows that is. In our village it is traditional to exchange similar if not identical bracelets that are made for your intended. We chose blue to be the main color of our bracelets. Miles was the one who "ordained" I guess you can say.
"We are gathered here today...and so on," Miles started. "Were kinda in a time crunch so I'm going to skip to the end."
"Miles you can't just," Charlie started to correct him.
"It's okay Char, as long as were together that is all that matters. Plus once we get Danny back we can do this right, with all our family present." I assured her.
"If your okay with it then go ahead and continue." Charlie relented.
"Okay then, Charlotte Matheson do you take Emily Marie Smith to be your wedded wife to have and to hold, in sickness and health, for richer or poor, as long as you both shall live." Miles asked.
"I do," Charlie answered her eyes never leaving mine as she slipped the blue and purple bracelet she had made on to my wrist.
"And do you Emily Marie Smith take Charlotte Matheson to to be your wedded wife to have and to hold, in sickness and health, for richer or poor, as long as you both shall live."
"I do," I said with joyous tears in my eyes and a smile on my face as I put the Blue and green bracelet I made onto her wrist.
"Alright, then I pronounce you wife and wife?... well um I pronounce you married." Miles announced, "now go ahead and kiss already.
Charlie and I both laughed a little at his crassness, then she leaned in grabbed me by the waist pulling me flush against her. She kissed me softly, the softest yet deepest kiss I had ever felt. I never wanted it to end we were kissing for what felt like forever every second felt like a glorious life time, it was like we were the only two people in the world.
Miles coughed, breaking the illusion and bringing us back to reality. "Well now that, that is done can we get going."
"Miles could you be a little more happy, I just got married." Charlie chastised him. I smiled and laughed at his interruption, burying my face in the crevice of Charlie's neck.
