Prompt Used - Joy
Born Ready
His first thought is that she looks breathtaking. His second is wondering how he got so lucky to have found love with someone as perfect as she is. She walks down the makeshift aisle in a beautiful white, knee length dress. In her hand, she holds flowers, the same flowers he'd given her on their first date.
When she reaches him, her father places her hand in his, and she squeezes it tightly. Her eyes are already overly bright, and he knows they will both be crying by the end of the ceremony.
"I love you," she whispers, and he repeats the sentiment just as quietly, before the two of them turn to the officiant.
They repeat their vows, and his prediction is correct. By the time he is told he can kiss his bride, the kiss is salty with tears though they could be from his eyes or her eyes, or more likely, both.
His best man, his team mate and best friend other than his new wife, holds out his broom.
He smiles as he takes it, then looks at Katie.
"Are you ready?"
She waits for him to sit comfortably, before she sits side saddle in front of him, wrapped in his arms. "Born ready."
"Katie Flint. You are the more beautiful woman in the world."
She laughs. "Come on, Marcus, show me how fast you can make this baby go."
He could hear the joy in her voice. "Your wish is my command, wifey."
"My husband. Man, that sounds so good. I think I might just call you husband instead of Marcus from now on."
Kissing her cheek, he replied, "I will never, ever get bored of hearing you call me husband."
