Chapter 11
Bonjour. Sorry, I was terribly busy. Enjoy this chapter?
Dear Songbook/Diary,
If anyone tells you that time flies by fast. Take their word for it. It felt as if yesterday was Monday but no, it's Saturday. Guess what this means? I'm getting hitched! Married! I'm tying the knot… with Austin! I hadn't even written vows for him. Only because he's a crush… not a lover. A crush. Here I am, sitting in a flipping chair. Trish is doing my hair. Nancy… well Nancy fell for… I forgot the other brother's name. They're in love. Love at first sight. It's so romantic and disgusting.
Anyways, possible lyrics?
At last
My love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
Oh yeah, yeah
At last
Austin's singing me a song… I have to, too. I hate the thought of it. I wonder how stupid… forgiving Ally. Forgiving Ally. Never mind-
My book was wretched out of my hands. I looked up and saw my mom. "Trish was done thirty minutes ago," She said.
I looked around and smiled sheepishly. She threw me the dress. "Put it on."
I rolled my eyes and put on the dress. When I was done, I looked at myself in the mirror. It was beautiful. My mom stood behind me smiling. "You look beautiful. I'm guessing no make-up?" I nodded. She kissed my forehead. "Don't worry. Dad won't miss this. I'll videotape it just as he will do for your sister's," She said. I smiled. "You are due now."
She left and I smiled.
Austin's POV
I was waiting impatiently for Ally to come through those doors. I bit my lip when the music began and the doors opened. My mouth dropped open. Ally looked beautiful. She was wearing no make-up, her dress stopped at her knees, showing her shoeless feet. I smiled. Beautiful. Just beautiful. The priest cleared his throat when Ally and I touched hands. I smiled at her and she returned it. It was genuine smile instead of a fake forced one. "Dearly beloved: We have come together in the presence of God to witness and bless the joining together of this man and this woman in Holy Matrimony. The bond and covenant of marriage was established by God in creation, and our Lord Jesus Christ adorned this manner of life by his presence and first miracle at a wedding in Cana of Galilee. It signifies to us the mystery of the union between Christ and his Church, and Holy Scripture commends it to be honored among all people. The union of husband and wife in heart, body, and mind is intended by God for their mutual joy; for the help and comfort given one another in prosperity and adversity; and, when it is God's will, for the procreation of children and their nurture in the knowledge and love of the Lord. Therefore marriage is not to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly, but reverently, deliberately, and in accordance with the purposes for which it was instituted by God," He said.
Ally's POV
I looked at my toes then back up to Austin. "Into this holy union Austin Moon and Ally Dawson now come to be joined. If any of you can show just cause why they may not lawfully be married, speak now; or else for ever hold your peace." No one spoke so the priest continued. "I require and charge you both, here in the presence of God, that if both of you know any reason why you may not be united in marriage lawfully, and in accordance with God's Word, you do now confess it." We didn't answer so the priest kept talking. "Allison Dawson, will you have this man to be your husband; to live together in the covenant of marriage? Will you love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all others, be faithful to him as long as you both shall live?" The priest asked.
I looked at Austin and tilted my head. "Sure. I do," I said carelessly.
"Austin Moon, will you have this woman to be your wife; to live together in the covenant of marriage? Will you love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all others, be faithful to her as long as you both shall live?"
Austin smiled. "I do," He said, love shining in his eyes.
I looked to the ground. Avoiding his eyes completely. "Will all of you witnessing these promises do all in your power to uphold these two persons in their marriage?" The priest said.
"We do," Everyone answered.
"Let us pray." Everyone bowed their heads. "O gracious and everliving God, you have created us male and female in your image: Look mercifully upon this man and this woman who come to you seeking your blessing, and assist them with your grace, that with true fidelity and steadfast love they may honor and keep the promises and vows they make; through Jesus Christ our Savior, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen," The priest finished.
Austin turned to face me smiling. "In the Name of God, I, Austin Moon, take you, Allison Dawson, to be my 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, until we are parted by death. This is my solemn vow," Austin said. I smiled at my feet. He sounded like someone in total complete love.
"In the Name of God, I, Allison Dawson, take you, Austin Moon, to be my 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, until we are parted by death. This is my solemn vow," I said.
"Allison Dawson, I give you this ring as a symbol of my vow, and with all that I am, and all that I have, I honor you, in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit," Austin said as he placed a ring on my finger never taking his eyes off me.
"Austin Moon, I give you this ring as a symbol of my vow, and with all that I am, and all that I have, I honor you, in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit," I said, she slipped the ring on Austin's finger.
"Now that Austin Moon and Allison Dawson have given themselves to each other by solemn vows, with the joining of hands and the giving and receiving of a ring, I pronounce that they are husband and wife, in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Those whom God has joined together let no one put asunder." We looked each other in the eyes and smiled. "You may kiss the bride," The priest finished.
Austin cupped my face, leaned down and gave me a gentle kiss. Everyone cheered and clapped. I broke the kiss and Austin lifted me up in bridal form. I began laughing as Trish, Dannie and Bree threw rose petals at us. It was romantic but I still didn't forgive Austin.
At the reception, Austin was standing on stage. The tapped the microphone, grabbing everyone's attention. That's when I realized, this house isn't small… it's huge. "So, some are expecting a song. Well, I didn't write one. 'Cause I can't write songs. I had someone help me with this. It's a poem." He looked at me. "Ally. I hope you like it.
As I lie in my bed,
Your name running through my head.
All I can think of is you
And all that you do.
The way you look at me.
I feel as if I'm in a dream.
The blue sky
Reminds me of your eyes
Which gives me butterflies.
You have brightened my life
With that beautiful smile.
No longer are my days a trial.
Your touch is like heaven,
Upon my young skin.
If only you knew
That what I say is true
I would do anything just to be with you.
Hand to hand, palm to palm
Just hold me in your arms,
I love you with all my heart
'Till the very day it falls apart.
I may be young
But my heart is strong.
I know what love is
It's my name and hers.
You make all the problems float away
No matter how was my day.
I love our heart to heart chats
When our beats connect,
And when my head starts to fade back
From when the blue sky
Turns sacred black," He finished.
He practically had me on the edge of my seat. It was romantically beautiful. I smiled at the ground. We switched spots. I went on stage and he sat down. "That was… beautiful. Who knew Austin had a heart? Anyways. This is just a few lyrics. Hope you like it."
At last
My love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
Oh yeah, yeah
At last
The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you
I found a dream that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
Oh yeah, yeah
You smiled, you smiled
Oh and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine...
At Last
Everyone began clapping wildly. I guess it was beautiful. I caught Austin's eye and my breath hiked. Did I tell you? During this week I found out two reasons to why I want to forgive Austin. One, I must his fabulous and cocky presence and two… I fell in love with him. I know. I suck. But unlike him, he'll never know. I sat beside my newly husband. We saw Trish go on stage and my eyes widened. "Time for the congratulations! Whoa, I'm first. Well, first must I say that…"
Done. Trish is first to congratulation the couple with difficulties! Stay tuned for Trish! Review?
