Chapter Twenty One
I looked for him and then I found him he looked devastatingly handsome, he smiled broadly when he saw me, and I kept my eyes firmly locked on his, occasionally glancing to see who'd come, I was happy that some of my family members had turned up. Noah held his hand out to me and I grasped onto it firmly.
"Please be seated," said Mrs O'Brien the lady conducting the service. "We are gathered here today, to join Noah and Rachel in holy matrimony, a wedding symbolizes that two people love each other enough that they want to spend their entire lives together. Rachel and Noah are taking that step in their lives today,"
"Noah and Rachel have personally written their vows, and so I'll ask Noah to begin," she said.
"I'll never forget, the day we were five, and we decided that we were going to get married, we got dressed up in fancy dress and pretended that we were getting married. I knew then even at that age, that I was going to spend the rest of my life with you. As we got older my feelings grew, and when we made love and created our beautiful little princess, I knew that we were definitely on our way to being together forever. Rachel, you're my other half, without you I would not be me you make me complete, I love you with all my heart and I will love you until the end of time," Tears were running down both of our faces.
"And Rachel would you like to read your vows," said Mrs O'Brien.
"Noah, I knew the moment we met that I couldn't let you go, I'd been pushed over in the playground and hurt my knees, you came over and helped me up, you took me to Mrs Lyons the nurse and held my hand as she cleaned my knees, you told me that I could call you Noah. From that day we were inseparable, and I loved you even then. The years went by and we went through so much together, and now as we becoming parents the second time, I feel that together we can achieve all of our dreams, I love you more than all the stars in the sky, you will always be my Noah,"
We gave each other huge smiles. "Who has the rings," said Mrs O'Brien. Quinn stepped forward and handed me Noah's ring. "Okay Rachel repeat after me, with this ring I thee wed,"
"With this ring I thee wed," I said. I placed the ring on his finger and squeezed his hand tightly.
"Okay Noah repeat after me," said Mrs O'Brien. "With this ring I thee wed,"
"With this ring I thee wed," he said as he placed the ring on my finger.
"Rachel Barbra Berry, Do you promise to love Noah, in sickness and in health, for richer for poorer, forsaking all others as long as you both shall live," she said.
"I do," I said, beaming.
"Noah Aaron Puckerman, Do you promise to love Rachel, in sickness and in health, for richer for poorer, forsaking all others as long as you both shall live,"
"I do," he said matching my smile.
"Rachel and Noah have said their vows, given and received a ring, and made their promises to each other, it now gives me great pleasure to announce that they are man and wife, Noah you may kiss your bride," she said.
Noah pressed his lips against mine and we kissed passionately, with the cheers of our family and friends in the background, and really it was in the background because all I was focused on was Noah, my husband!
