Chapter 21- The Ceremony
The wedding march began and Phil turned towards the door. He saw Sam walking towards him and all his worries left him. Phil felt like the luckiest man alive, he couldn't get over how gorgeous Sam looked. As Jack and Sam reached the alter, he gently squeezed her arm before taking his place in the congregation. Phil took Sam's hand and they both turned to face the vicar. 'We are gathered here today to witness the joining in matrimony of Samantha and Phillip,' the vicar started. 'After today, they will legally be married in the eyes of God and will spend the rest of their lives together.'
Phil turned towards Sam and smiled at her. 'Phillip Michael Hunter,' the vicar said, turning towards Phil. 'Do you take thee Samantha Catherine Nixon to be your lawful wedded wife?'
'I do,' Phil said with absolute conviction.
'And do you, Samantha Catherine Nixon take thee Phillip Michael Hunter to your lawful wedded husband?'
'I do,' Sam replied.
'Now before we go on,' the vicar said. 'I must ask whether anyone knows of a reason why these two people may not joined in marriage. If so, then they should speak now or forever hold their peace.'
There was silence in the church. The vicar seemed satisfied that no-one would come forward. 'Will the best man come forward with the rings?'
Mickey stepped forward and reached into his pocket. He pulled out two small boxes and passed one to Sam and one to Phil. Phil opened his box, took the ring out and placed it over Sam's finger. 'Repeat after me,' the vicar said. 'I, Phillip Michael Hunter.'
'I, Phillip Michael Hunter,'
'Do take thee Samantha Catherine Nixon to be my lawful wedded wife,'
'Do take thee Samantha Catherine Nixon to be my lawful wedded wife. To have and to hold, from this day forward. For better, for worse. For richer, for poorer. In sickness and in health. To love and to cherish, till death us do part,' Phil said as he slipped the ring onto Sam's finger.
Sam opened up her box and took the ring out and placed it over Phil's finger. 'And now you,' the vicar said. 'I, Samantha Catherine Nixon.'
'I, Samantha Catherine Nixon.'
'Do take thee Phillip Michael Hunter to be your lawful wedded husband,'
'Do take thee Phillip Michael Hunter to be your lawful wedded husband. To have and to hold, from this day forward. For better, for worse. For richer, for poorer. In sickness and in health. To love and to cherish, till death us do part,' Sam said and she slipped the ring onto Phil's finger.
'And with the acceptance of rings and the union of marriage in the house of God, I now pronounce you man and wife,' the vicar said, turning to Phil. 'You may kiss the bride.'
Sam and Phil smiled at each other before kissing the other passionately on the lips. Everyone in the church was either crying or smiling; even Gina managed to crack a smile. Sam was a close friend of hers and she was pleased that Sam found some happiness.
Sam and Phil walked back up the aisle and went outside and were showered with confetti. 'I love so much Mrs Hunter,' Phil said as he gently squeezed Sam's hand.
'And I love you too Mr Hunter,' Sam replied and they kissed as they were showered with more confetti.
Sam and Phil got into the limo that was taking them to the reception. 'So how does it feel to be Mrs Hunter now?' Phil asked.
'It feels so…right. There's nothing more I've wanted in the world than to be your wife,' Sam replied. 'You've got no excuse for forgetting Valentines Day now. 'Cos if you do, you'll be forgetting our wedding anniversary as well.'
'Babe, I'd never forget Valentines Day. Especially not now. Have I told you how beautiful you look?'
'No you haven't, but if you're about to, then I'm not gonna stop you.'
Phil turned around to face Sam and stroked the side of her face. 'When you were walking down that aisle towards me, you looked so beautiful, you still do. You are the most beautiful, intelligent woman I have ever met and I love you with all my heart,'
'I love you too, Phil,' Sam replied and kissed Phil on the lips as the limo pulled up outside the hotel.
