It was Saturday and finally all the planning and waiting had all come to a halt, the day had finally come. They were getting married today.

"Oh my god I can't believe this," Emily said excitedly, "I kept waiting for something to happen and it hasn't. I keep waiting for him to change his mind or something."

"Did you really think he's was gonna change his mind and decide suddenly that he doesn't want to marry you?" Lia questioned

"Well no but I mean it's was always this little inkling that was always in the back of my mind like I didn't deserve this or him or something ever since we started 'Dating'. I guess I was wrong he has always been there for me since the beginning heck ever since we became partners. I don't know why I even thought that all I had to do was look in his eyes and know how he felt. There wasn't anywhere he'd rather be than with me even if it was just sitting on the couch watching a movie with his arms around me" Emily beamed

"I have to say from the day he blurted out your secret and I started paying more attention, I knew you guys were going to be a problem. The way you guys look at each other and the way you are with each other, it's unbelievable, I have never seen two people so in love or so completely devoted to each other." Cheryl remarked

"Yeah it's like when you guys look at each other; like there's nothing else in the world that matters, it's unreal." Lia smiled

"You guys are going to make me cry"

"No crying you'll mess up your make-up" her mother interjected tears rolling down her face, "I'm the only one allowed to cry here, I can't believe my baby is getting married" she hugged her daughter smiling and laughing.

"Wait a minute something is missing here", Frank yelled as Matt started to walk out of the door to the church. "You forgetting something" Frank said as he pointed to Matt's pants lying on the back of the chair.

"Oh shit", Matt said as he looked down realizing he had no pants on.

"A little nervous are we?" Frank laughed.

"A little but not about the getting married part I wanna get this over with before I forget my vows", he looked around," no one else knows this but we wrote our own."

"Oh God this should be interesting, but you can't get married without pants well actually you can it would just make for some good looks and even better wedding pictures"

"Shut up I remember you were quite nervous when you got married as well, I remember some mumbling and some tears"

"Hey, Hey there were no tears" frank replied defensively

"Sure, sure"

"Lets get this show on the road" Matt yelled to his brother and Duff still getting ready.

The moment of truth had arrived the priest came in and told them it was time. The three men walked out and stood at the alter despite their differences Matt had asked Frank to be his best man he said in this situation there was no one else he'd rather have watching his back. Matt had told his brother and his brother was ok with it he understood that they weren't that close and hadn't been for quite some time.

Emily Cheryl and Lia lined up behind the church doors. Lia was her maid of honor and she also had her little cousins as ring bearer and flower girls. The music started and they opened the doors and everyone disappeared one by one. As everyone else leaves they close the doors back up to hide Emily.

"Wow this is it" she said to herself

"Yup this is the longest walk of your life" she turned around to find her father standing behind her. She didn't think that he was coming he never contacted her after she sent the invitation to see if he was coming or not and all her attempts to contact him failed. "You didn't think I'd miss your wedding did you, this is the only perk of being a dad I get to be the one to walk you down the aisle."

"I. . . I didn't think you were coming, I never heard back from you."

"I almost didn't come my now EX-girlfriend threw away the invitation and didn't tell me that you called. Your mom called me the other day and ripped me a new one for not being there for you, needless to say I figured out what happened, told her, and here I am. Now let's get going they're playing your song", he took her arm and turned as the doors opened and here comes the bride flooded the room. Tears fell down her face as they started walking down the aisle.

"Oh my god" Matt whispered to himself. He saw Emily coming down the aisle and couldn't take his eyes off of her, he thought she looked beautiful no matter what she wore or what she looked like but he was in awe of just how beautiful she looked right now. She came walking towards him in a low cut off the shoulder floor length dress, with a short train. As she got closer he could see that she was crying and he couldn't stop thinking about just how beautiful she was the way the sun shone thru her veil and her flowing hair. The reflections of the beads down her dress it was unbelievable.

"Close your mouth you'll catch flies" Frank laughed from behind him.

Emily reached the bottom of the stairs as Matt walked down to meet her. Her father lifted her veil and kissed her as he gave Matt her hand and whispered, "Take care of her, she's one of a kind."

"For as long as she'll let me," Matt responded smiling unable to take his eyes off of Emily.

You never saw two people more in love or intertwined to each other the instant their eyes locked and their hands touched you could feel the electricity and the undeniable love that is between these two.

"You ready" Matt smiled as he took her hand and lead her towards the altar.

"Never been more ready for anything in my life"

They walked together towards the altar with more anticipation and excitement than for anything they have ever encountered in their lives.

"Dearly beloved", the priest started he continued on with the ceremony and after a while the priest started talking about Matt and Emily.

"I have known Emily for quite some time ever since she was in college and I have watched her grow into a self-sufficient capable beautiful woman who is as gorgeous on the inside as she is on the outside", the priest said looking at Emily as she started to blush. "On this the day of her wedding I must tell both her and you Matt as well as anyone here that marriage is not an easy thing it is the hardest thing that you will ever do in your life, however it is also the most rewarding and exciting thing in the world. Marriage is an equal partnership with both people giving in a little at times as well as standing their ground. There is no such thing as the perfect marriage people fight things happen but a good marriage can withstand the hardships to come out shining. As I have said this Emily and Matt have chosen to write their own vows to tell each other their promise." With this everyone sat up and took attention no one was aware they had decided to write their own vows. Matt and Emily turned to each other and looked deeply into each other's eyes.

"Matt you know that in the field I do not jump into things irrationally I take my time thinking things thru weighing the pros and the cons of the situation, I take the same approach to my personal life. In the beginning we were friends Best friends you were the one that I could talk to you knew what I had to say sometimes before I even knew it myself. Then as our relationship grew more intimate I got scared, I pulled back; every relationship I've ever been in has ended and I have been left holding my heart in my hand. I have been hurt more than you will ever know and I assumed you would be no different, that regardless of how I felt about you that you would eventually do the same and I did not want to lose you as a colleague but more importantly a friend." Tears began to roll down her face, "Eventually I realized that you weren't going anywhere that I could trust you and depend on you as a friend and a lover and you wouldn't let me down, you wouldn't let me fall or if I did I knew I would never fall alone. You are an amazing guy with a heart of gold and the patience of a saint and God knows I tested that to the limit. You are compassionate, romantic, a great listener. You make me feel like more than I could ever be alone. When I look in your eyes I see a fire and a passion for life and for us I know more than anything that you are with me for keeps and nothing will ever change that. You are everything to me I don't know what I would do without you." Emily could see that even Matt's eyes had begun tearing as he reached up his hand to brush hair out of her face and to wipe away her tears "Matt you have seen me at my best, and loved me at my worst, you are my best friend, and my biggest supporter, you are my soul mate. I loved you from the first kiss and I swear to you that I will love you and be faithful to only you until my last breath", she could feel the heat rising in her body as all eyes were on her, all she could do was look into Matt's eyes and just squeeze his hand.

"Wow you're a tough act to follow," Matt laughed as he sniffled and wiped a tear out of his eye.

"Emily I lost my mother when I was a kid, she was the first woman in my life that I loved. In the little time that she was with me she taught me everything I know about how to love someone and how to be a good man, when she died I thought I died with her it was like a part of me was missing and no matter what I did there wasn't anything that I could do to fix it, there was no one that I could talk to or that could help me so I got mad. I started picking fights with everyone because they all had something I didn't, completion. I lost sight of my mom, who she was and the person she tried to help me become. In all my relationships there was always something missing no matter how hard I tried or how much I thought I loved them my heart just wasn't in it. Then I met you and from the moment I met you there was something about you that drew me towards you. If I could dream up the perfect woman she would not even come close to you, you are smart, funny, beautiful and highly opinionated", Matt and Emily both laughed, "At work you are there everyday pouring your heart and soul into helping those people, showing them that they are not alone that they have options. You go into every situation believing that nothing is unfixable and that no one is beyond saving, that there is always hope. I love your optimistic outlook on life and how you could be falling apart inside but you'll never show it and you will still bend over backwards to help anyone who wants help. You know me better than I know myself you know can make me smile with just a look and all it takes to turn my world around is just a touch or a kiss from you, most importantly thru everything you are always the first one to know that something is wrong even when I have the biggest smile on my face, and I never have to say a word and you are there. All I need is what is in my heart to know that you are my soul mate you are the best thing about me and the thing that has been missing in my life and in my heart since I lost my mom. You are my best friend and I will always be there for you when all else fails know that I will still be here for you, there is nothing else in the world that I value or love more than you. You are the first thing I think of in the morning and you are the last thing in my mind before I go to sleep. You are my heart and my soul, and the only person I want to wake up with for the rest of my life. With all that I am and all that I have I swear that I will always be here for you all the days of my life."

There was not a dry eye in the church, even the boys were sniffling and Frank just kept looking at his wife in the first row.

"These rings are a symbol of you love a perfect circle with no ending nor beginning," the priest said as he held up the rings, "Let them be a symbol of your never-ending love and fidelity." He handed the ring to Emily and to Matt.

"With this ring I thee wed," Emily stated with tears in her eyes as she slide the ring on Matt's finger.

"With this ring I thee wed,"

"You may now kiss the bride", and with that Matt stepped forward and put his hands on the sides of Emily's face and kissed her for the first time as his wife, he loved the sound of that.

"I now present Mr. & Mrs. Matthew Alexander Flannery." With that the entire church erupted in applause and cheers, Matt and Emily looked at each other they had never been so happy, and as far as they both were concerned they would be this happy for the rest of their lives. Whatever life threw at them they would handle it together.

Sorry it took so long to load this I got busy w/ school this is the technical end although I'm thinking about keeping going with this going maybe doing the reception; creating corny toasts from their coworkers let me know what you think.
