Chapter 26

It was now the night before the ceremony and all of John's family had arrived into Tampa as well as most of the WWE roster. The house was full of people hanging out and getting ready for John and Amelia's big day. John's parents decided to stay down in Tampa after the ceremony so that John could take Amelia on a honeymoon.

Once the house cleared out and was cleaned up. John and Amelia headed to bed. They both knew that the next day was going to be a busy, but very happy day. The next morning John headed off with his dad and brothers while Amelia, JC, Isabella and all the girls met at the house and then headed out to get ready for the ceremony. Amelia was a little nervous but excited at the same time.

"You look beautiful!" Vince stated when he saw Amelia dressed in her wedding gown.

"Thank you. I am so happy this day is finally here." Amelia responded.

"I know you are. I know John is too." Vince stated.

"They are ready for us." Stephanie stated.

Everyone walked to where they were to wait for their cue. John was already up at the alter and David Tutera was running around making sure that everything was in order and perfect for their wedding ceremony. The music started and Isabella with the brides maids walked out. Then it was Stephanie's turn to walk down the aisle. Vince and Amelia took their spots and waited for David to open the doors. Vince walked her down the aisle to John and both she and John were all smiles. John's parents sat with JC during the ceremony.

"Let us pray, Dear Lord in the new testament you say that wherever two or more of us are joined in your Name that you would be there also. We humbly pray that would join us now as John & Amelia stand before you today to renew and reaffirm their vows of love and marriage. Please be with them, bless them, and let this union continue to endure and progress in the love they have for each other. Amen." The minister stated. "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to reaffirm the vows of love and marriage that exists between John and Amelia. Marriage is a most honorable estate created by our Lord signifying unto us the mystical union between a man and a woman, this union also exists between Christ and His Church. So to may this marriage be adorned also by a true and everlasting love that we pray shall continue through eternity. When Christ performed His miracle at a wedding of Cana in Galilee by turning water into wine, he showed the world His respect for this Holy Sacrament. The Bible commends marriage to honored by all people."

A reading from Corinthians: Love endures and is kind. Love is not envious or jealous. Love wants not for itself. Love is not puffed up, nor does it behave wrongly. Love seeks not for it's own.
Love is not easily provoked. Love is not rude. Love thinks No evil. Love does not rejoice in wrong, but dwells in the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, endures all things, and love never fails." Randy read.
"The Union of husband and wife is one of the heart, mind, and body and is intended by the Lord for their mutual joy, for the help and comfort given to one another in the times of prosperity and adversity. The union grows as the couple become one in more and more ways on a growing basis as their love for one another expands. John & Amelia life is given to us as individuals and the first lesson we must learn is how to live together with each other as a married couple. Love is given to us by our family and friends, We learn to love by being loved. Learning to love and learning to live together is one of life's greatest challenges. This is the goal of a married life. But the husband and wife should not confuse the love of worldly measures, for even if worldly success is found, Only love can hold a marriage together. Mankind did not create love, God created love and teaches it to us. The measure of a true love is one given freely and a love that is freely accepted, just as God's love for us is given freely and unconditional. Today is a glorious day that God has made as you reaffirm your love and vows for each other. Both of you are blessed with God's greatest gift of all, an abiding and true love of each other, and the reward of a life long companionship that entered your life through the love in your lives. As you travel through this life together remember it was love that got you here, it is love that will continue in your lives, and it is love that will cayuse this union to endure. I ask that you guard your heart and your love for one another, and hold it tightly in your hearts." The minister stated. "John and Amelia, please join hands. Amelia, will you continue to have John, as your husband and continue to live in this marriage. Do you reaffirm your love for him, and will you love him, keep him, and honor him in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others, be faithful to him as long as you shall live?"

"I do." Amelia responded.

John, will you continue to have Amelia, as your wife and continue to live in this marriage. Do you reaffirm your love for her, and will you love her, keep her, and honor her in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others, be faithful to her as long as you shall live?" The minister asked.

"I do." John answered.

"May I have the rings please?" the minister asked. "Lord, bless and consecrate John and Amelia in their love for each other.
May these rings be a symbol of true faith in each other and always remind them of their love. Through Christ our Lord. Amen"

"Amen." Everyone responded as the minister handed the rings to John and Amelia.
"I give you this ring as a symbol of my vow, with all that I am and all that I have I honor you, and with this ring I thee wed." Amelia stated as she placed the ring on John's finger.

"I give you this ring as a symbol of my vow, with all that I am and all that I have I honor you, and with this ring I thee wed." John stated as he placed the ring on Amelia's finger.
"John & Amelia as the two of you both now reaffirm you love for each other and the vows you made to each other many years ago, I charge that you each remember to cherish each other as special and unique individuals and that you each respect the thoughts and ideas of one another. And most all be able to forgive each other, and not hold grudges against one another, and I charge that you live each day in love with each other, always being there to give love, comfort, and refuge to each in good times and bad. The minister stated. "John & Amelia have now exchanged vows and rings, and pledged their love and faith for each other, it is my pleasure and honor to pronounce you Man & Wife. You may kiss the bride."

John and Amelia shared a very romantic and joyous kiss in front of their friends and family.

"I am pleased to announce Mr. & Mrs. John Cena." The minister stated as everyone stood up and cheered for them.
