Chapter 4
It seemed like forever, but the limo finally pulled up to the reception hall. Andrew and Margaret got out at the entrance, looked at each other,
and kissed before linking arms, waiting for them to be introduced--again.
"And here they are now, ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you Paxton!"
Walking in, they were greeted with loud claps and cheers. After chatting with a few other guests, they noticed his family approaching.
"Hey you two!" Joe said, as he, Grace, and Annie all took turns hugging the happy couple. "Congratulations! So, how's married life treating
you so far?"
"Wonderful, absolutely amazing" Margaret said, looking up and smiling at her husband.
"Perfect, absolutely perfect," Andrew replied, looking at his wife, and returning her smile, before leaning in for a short little kiss.
"Well, we couldn't be happier for you two--really. We wish you nothing but the best" Grace said.
"And take care of her--don't let her get away. You two really have something special" Annie added.
"I will, Gammy. I promise you, I will" Andrew said. Just as they were finishing their conversations, they heard "Allright, it's now time for
Andrew and Margaret's first dance as husband and wife."
Andrew held out his hand to Margaret. "May I have this dance, ?"
"Of course you may" she replied. She took his hand, and they headed out onto the dance floor. He wrapped his arms around her
waist, and she wrapped her arms around his neck, and together they began to move slowly to the music.
(I do swear that I'll always be there. I'd give anything
and everything and I will always care. Through weakness
and strength, happiness and sorrow, for better, for worse,
I will love you with every beat of my heart.)
From this moment life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on
From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love I'd give my last breath
From this moment on
I give my hand to you with all my heart
Can't wait to live my life with you, can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you
From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on
------
You're the reason I believe in love
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you
From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment
I will love you as long as I live
From this moment on
As the song ended, everyone clapped and cheered for the happy couple. As they did, Margaret, who hands were still
around his neck, and Andrew leaned in close, so that their foreheads were touching.
"I mean every word. And for as long as we live, I promise you that not a day will go by where I will not feel this way.
Never forget that" Andrew said.
"I know you do, and so do I--with all my heart" Margaret replied. And with that, they leaned in for just one of many more
kisses that they would share as husband and wife.
