Chapter 34: Wedding

Since I didn't have anyone walking me down the aisle, I waited and let Sadie, Kat, and Karma go down the aisle first. I waited a second and then I started down the aisle. The butterflies in my stomach seemed to disappear, as I seemed to get closer. I got to the steps and Tommy met me at the bottom of them. He raised my veil and he grabbed my hand.

We got up to the top and I looked into his eyes. I just took a deep breath and I let everything go. I just let my mind be free for a minute. I think today was the first day in my life when I didn't have to think about everything that was going on. I was just able to be myself, which don't get me wrong, I am myself everyday but, I never to get to express how I feel except for those couple of few times that the press invaded it all.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the joining of Thomas Andrews Quincy and Jude Elizabeth Harrison in holy matrimony." He looked at us. "Love is something not to be taken lightly in one's heart, body, and soul. Love is something sacred that everyone shares. Love is something of the heart never to be hurt or broken. Love is fragile like glass; one knick could ruin it all. These two souls have been brave in committing their love and their truth for one another in front of you all." He said.

I looked at Tommy, and he looked back at me. The reverend began to speak again. "Jude Elizabeth Harrison, will you please repeat after me, I Jude Elizabeth Harrison, take Thomas Andrews Quincy to be my lawfully wedded husband.

"I Jude Elizabeth Harrison, take Thomas Andrews Quincy to be my lawfully wedded husband." I repeated.

"To have and to hold, to love honor and cherish until death do us part." He said.

"To have and to hold, to love honor and cherish until death do us part." I said.

"Thomas Andrews Quincy, will you please repeat after me, I Thomas Andrews Quincy, take Jude Elizabeth Harrison to by my lawfully wedded wife." He said to Tommy. Tommy looked a little nervous, so something was up.

"I Thomas Andrews Quincy, take Jude Elizabeth Harrison to by my lawfully wedded wife."

"To have and to hold, to love honor and cherish until death do us part." He said.

"To have and to hold, to love honor and cherish until death do us part." Tommy said to him, and he still had that crooked nervous smile on his face.

"Now for the exchanging of the rings, Tommy as you place the ring on Jude's finger and repeat the promise that you wrote." The reverend said.

"Jude, you are the one person in the world who understands me, who gets me for who I am. You always trust me no matter what happens. You're my soul-mate, you mean everything to me. You make me a better man. With this ring, I promise you that I will love you for all eternity, and to never hurt you again." Tommy said to me as he placed the ring on my finger.

"Jude as you place the ring on Tommy's finger please repeat the promise that you wrote." The minister said to me. I completely froze. I didn't write anything, this is what Tommy was hiding from me. It was one of my many surprises.

"Tommy, you light up my life. You helped me make something of myself and my music. You showed me something more, and that's just one of the reasons why I love you. You're my soul-mate, you mean everything to me. I will always love you no matter what. With this ring I promise to always trust you no matter what, and to love you for all eternity." I said to Tommy as I placed the ring on his finger. He smile even wider, he was very sneaky and he was going to get payback, when we left.

"By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." He said and Tommy kissed me like he never had before. We heard an applause coming from the crowd. We pulled apart, and we linked arms and we walked back down the aisle.

I was happy now, and nothing was ever going to change. I smiled at Tommy and he smiled back. We were there just staring at one another and we knew that everything would be okay. I was ready to move on with the next chapter of my life, with Tommy and I wanted it to be as perfect as it could be.

So this is the end, I know but, thanks to everyone who read and reviewed. Keep them coming. I'm probably going to write a sequel to this sometime in the futre.
