Chapter 18 I do

Three years have passed since Ben proposed marriage to his girlfriend and cousin Gwen Tennyson. As painful as it was they decided to finish their education before they got married and not the other way around. Thankfully they still had time to postpone their special education when Ben proposed to her and they decided it was best to postpone. The two talked about this possibility in the past and agreed that if Ben were to propose before starting their special education it would be best to get married first. The date was February 17th which was the day of their wedding and their birthday as well. The ceremony is due to begin at two PM and it was now twelve PM and they were making final preparations. Gwen was looking at herself in the mirror in the bathroom and tried on different kinds of makeup to match her dress while Ben was sitting on the bed shining his groom shoes. He was busy shining them so it took him a while to notice Gwen groan in frustration. When he noticed it he asked her

"What's wrong Gwen?"

Gwen was busy washing the makeup off her face in the bathroom so it took her a while to answer.

"I can't find makeup that looks good on me and fits my dress"

Ben put down his shoe polish box and rubbed the smeared polish off his hands and got up. He rinsed his hands in the faucet and turned to face her.

"Gwen I want to show you something. Take a look at yourself in the mirror here" he pointed at the mirror in front of him

"What do you see?" he asked her

"I see myself and I can't find a good enough makeup that will make me look pretty"

There was a short pause which was broken when Ben said

"You know what I see?"

"I see a beautiful girl who is so stunningly pretty that she doesn't need any makeup and that it will make her less pretty than she already is"'

He turned to face her

"You look beautiful the way you are Gwen. You don't need make up. Not even today"

Gwen smiled at him and said

"That's so sweet of you Ben. Thank you" he smiled too as he leant to kiss her passionately with full infinite pleasure and delight. Once it ended they continued with their final preparations for their wedding. Shortly afterwards they went to the church so they would have enough time to have pictures taken…

Two hours later…

Fifteen years of waiting and anticipation were about to come to close. Ben and Gwen's lifelong dream of getting married was about to be fulfilled and they couldn't be happier about it…

"Ladies and gentlemen" the priest began and Ben grabbed Gwen's hand and she gave it a little squeeze. They smiled at each other warmly and sweetly.

"We are gathered here today to witness the wedding of these two fine people Ben and Gwen Tennyson"

"If there is any man who believes these two people shall not be wed let him speak now or forever hold his peace" said the priest and when he saw no one answered he said

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride" he said and smiled and as Ben kissed his new wife on the lips with the biggest happiness he ever felt in his life and was sure Gwen was doing the same. They started walking towards the exit of the church until they reached the stairs outside the front doors. When they reached the bottom of the stairs they gave their family hugs and kisses before getting into the limo that would take them to the air port from which they would take a plane to Cleveland Ohio where they would spend their honeymoon and the rest of their lives.

Ten hours later Ben and Gwen have already reached their hotel and had time to go on a relaxing visit at the spa and have a wonderful stay at the beach. After a wonderful and delicious dinner they put on their pajamas and went to bed. They were the happiest people in the world and they couldn't be happier about it…
