And before I give you this next chapter, I just want to say here that – sadly – we are coming towards the end of this story, but never fear, the saga is far from over yet!

Enjoy!

After the photographs were taken – an expedition which too about an hour or so in total, of Eric and I along with our familes, and then some with the wedding guests as well, we were bundled up into the car and taken to the venue that we had chosen for our wedding reception to take place in – in a local hotel, and was not too far away from the church.

Thank God for that, because otherwise, I would most definitely end up jumping my husband.

"You look so fucking beautiful today, my lover" Eric said to me as we approached the venue. The majority of our wedding guests had also aleady arrived ahead of us.

"And you look just as sexy as ever, Mr. Northman" I replied, and then I leaned down to place a gentle kiss on his shoulder. In response, Eric tightened his hold on me, and effectively pulled me closer into his embrace.

"I am very glad that you think so, Mrs. Northman" Eric grinned at me, and then his fangs slowly slid down into their place.

"I do…and put those fangs away or I can't be held responsible for my actions" I said, leaning up to touch them with two of the fingers of my left hand.

"Do my fangs turn you on lover?" he asked.

"You know just how much that they do, Eric" I answered.

"Hmm…yes, I do know" Eric said, presumably remembering all of the passion filled nights that we had involving his fangs.

As well as … other bigger parts of his body, if you get what I mean.

"However, before we had any sort of a reason to get lost in each other once again the driver – whose name I would later learn as being Bob, ad announced that we had arrived.

"Are you ready for the biggest night of our lives, lover?" Eric asked me.

"As long as you are beside me, honey. I will always be ready for anything that anybody can ever throw at me" I replied, even though I knew that that – even for me – sounded extremely cheesy.

"Ditto, Mrs. Northman" Eric grinned, before getting out of the car. I carefully followed him, focusing all of my attentions on not tripping myself up.

"Are you always going to call me, Mrs. Northman?" I asked him as we posed outside of the venue for still yet more photographs. In this particular one, I had my arms wrapped around Eric's neck and he had his around my waist, and we were also staring at each other straight in the eyes.

"Yes, my lover. Because that is your proper name now. And I want to make sure that the whole world knows about it" Eric said.

"I am yours" I replied, grinning.

"As I am yours too, lover" he said, before dipping his head down to mine in order to give me a slow, long passionate kiss. But, unfortunately, there were no tongues involved.

We were in public after all.

"I should very much hope so, Eric" I replied, but I was still grinning at the end of the sentence, and thus completely and totally ruining all the effects of the words.

"For always" he answered. "Shall we go in and face our adoring crowd?"

"You mean your adoring crowd?" I questioned.

"No, lover. I mean our adoring crowd" he said, and gave me one final kiss on the lips before we headed in to see that everyone except from the two of us were already seated and they all stood up – even Pam – whenever they saw that we had arrived, and then they all began to clap and cheer. I looked around the room to see that both Gran and Elizabeth had tears in their eyes, and were both dabbing away furiously in an effort to keep their – minimal - make up in place.

"Ladies first, my lover" Eric said, indicating towards the three steps that were in front of us, and would also lead us down to the rest of our guests.

"Naha. I want a kiss first" I said, and then inclined my head up to meet my new husband's lips.

"Gladly" he replied, and then dipped his head down to meet mine in a long, slow passionate kiss, which was enough to make all of our guests cheer and holler all the more louder. I felt Eric smile against my lips just as his tongue slid into my mouth and my arms managed to wrap themselves around his neck, while his moved to my waist and then pulled me in closer to him.

"Ladies first, my lover" Eric said, a few minutes later whenever our kiss eventually broke, and he held his hand out dramatically in front of himself.

I had to smile a little at that, even though what he was saying was all wrong. Eric and I were equals. He wasn't better than me, and in no way was I any better than him.

"We are equals, Eric. We walk together. Not in front of or behind each other. But together" I said, and then took a hold of his hand as we descended the steps and made our way across the hall and the dance floor, right up to the top table, where all of our families were already sitting, and then after that my husband helped me to sit down.

So… what do we think? Review to let me know what the thoughts are?

Also, the hotel that Eric and Sookie get married in, is based on a local one to me called the Rosspark hotel near Ballymena. You all can search it up if you are interested, and if I can be arsed, I will upload pictures on to my WordPress page.
