Hey everyone! Its my last chapter! :'( So sad!
But, NEVER FEAR FOR I SHALL POST NEXT WEEK, SAME DAY AS USUAL AND COINCIDENTLY (again) ON NEW YEARS DAY! HOW CRAZY IS THAT?!
So, anyway, merry Christmas to everyone! I can't tell you what I got for Christmas yet because I'm currently writing on Christmas eve. I will be able to tell you at the end nowhere because I'll probably finish this tomorrow! :) Behold. I am smiling. (Sorry, I recently became obsessed with Thor texting and its hilarious!)
Anyway, story time!
My first date with Elsa was spectacular. We ate all the unhealthy food we wanted and then went roller blading after to work it all off. Unfortunately for me, I sucked at roller blading.
Over the course of two months, I found myself falling in love with Elsa. She hadn't broken up with me yet so I assumed she liked me at least a little bit. She always smiled at my jokes whether they were funny or not and well, she smiled all the time when she was around me which was a plus for both of us I guess.
In November, I had a deep thinking session with myself late at night and tried to picture my future. All of my possible options included Elsa apart from the one where I died in my sleep due to a crazy guy with a knife. That's when I knew I was going to marry Elsa and if I was going to do that sooner or later, why not have it sooner rather than later?
On the night I proposed to Elsa, I almost had a heart attack.
It was the fifth, bonfirenight, an English tradition celebrated for many years in my family. I bought the ring the day before and tried to make it the best I could find. Last time, an expensive ring didn't go too well for me but even if Elsa said no, she wasn't so cruel as to sell it.
As I looked in the mirror before heading off, I adjusted my tie. I didn't want to get rejected again. Not by the girl who I knew I wanted to be with.
As I thought, I became more nervous. What if she didn't like the ring? What if she'd secretly been cheating on me for five years? That's crazy, I wasn't with her nearly that long. Nevertheless, I started to have a panic attack.
I felt sick, I was sweating, shaking and choking and my chest was on fire. Because of this, I followed the advice of Dr Sheldon Cooper and laid down on my bed with my feet elevated, breathing in deeply until it passed. I was okay.
I shook off the feeling of nothingness and did my best to replace it with a feeling of confidence. Like Captain America.
I then went out to pick Elsa up.
I was taking her to her favorite place to get food which was, surprisingly, a little Disney cafe.
I felt a little out of placed at first, what with all the little children running about but soon became relaxed because what's not to love about children? Plus, Elsa might've smiled that heart melting smile to reassure me...
"Jack?" She asked, we were sitting down and I had zoned out, mentally preparing myself for rejection.
"Jack are you alright?!"
"What?- Yeah! Im..I'm fine!" I stuttered, "Are you alright?"
"Perfect!" She smiled. We hadn't kissed yet. Just a random thought that popped into my head. She told me why once and said it was because she was saving her first kiss for her wedding day so that she could treasure it forever.
"So, uhhh Elsa," I started, "I know we haven't been dating that long ...and I know that the last time I did this, it didn't end too well but,"
I knelt down on the ground as I watched her eyes fill with tears. Was this good? Tooth didn't do this! What should I have done?
" umm...I'm in love with you, intensely. And... if I don't spend the rest of my life with you, I don't know how I'll function properly..so,"
I get the ring out, shaking.
"Will you marry me?"
"Yes!" She replied immediately, throwing herself into my arms to hug me, still crying, "Absolutely, one hundred percent, YES!"
"Y- yes?" I stuttered in shock.
"Yes Jack! Yes! I will marry you!"
I was surprised when she said yes but even more surprised when she didn't give the ring a second glance until I put it on her finger.
"Its beautiful!" She said, "Thank you!"
Then she continued hugging me and kissing me all over my face. I don't know how happy I looked but, inside, I probably had the potential passion and energy to wipe out the entire human race if she asked me to. Just a nice little thought...
We decided to hold the wedding as soon as possible, in December. The twentieth to be precise. The preparations were done and dusted about a week before and all that was left to do was the rehearsal.
On the day of the wedding, everything was perfect. I got into my suit (a white suit, just saying) whilst our family put up all the decorations. We were in a church in Vermont that wasn't very grand but was very clean and calm. We put white streamers everywhere and petals down the isle. A Christmas tree also stood at the back next to the door Elsa would be entering in. To make this day even better, outside it was snowing heavily,
While Elsa walked down the isle, the backing track to 'White Christmas' was playing (the slow one not the pop one.) She was wearing a simple dress that had what I think is called a sweetheart neck line and then above that was a thin layer of fabric just covering her shoulders. Her veil was long and protruding from the curly updo her hair was in.
She looked beautiful. I could not believe I was marrying her.
While we said our vows, she was smiling that smile that always made/makes my knees go weak.
When we kissed, it was her first kiss and a kiss I know I'll never forget. Her lips tasted of strawberries. They were soft and sweet and filled with love.
The only the thing that made this better was the fact that now I could kiss her whenever I wanted.
After the wedding, we went back to my family's house to have a little after party. We didn't want it too big so we had it here with just family seeing as we didn't have any friends worthy of coming.
I couldn't take my eyes off of Elsa throughout the whole thing. This woman, who I met about a year ago, was now my wife.
When the party was over, we didn't go off for our honeymoon. It was nearly Christmas anyway and we didn't want to go on one. Instead, we went to the house where we'd raise all of our children in. In Vermont, not near our families, and in the middle of a huge snowy forest.
It was a cosy place that I knew we were going to love.
"We're home." Elsa stated when we entered. I was carrying her in, the way any worthy husband would. I think.
"Yes we are." I said back to her.
Then she kissed me, jumping down from my arms and pulling me towards her. I picked her up again, still kissing, and carried her to the sofa in the large living room.
"Merry Christmas!" I breathed when she pulled away, only to be pulled back in again.
"Merry Christmas Jack.."
IT'S FINISHED! I'M SO SAD! MY LIFE IS OVER! no, not really. I'll be back one last time next week for this story and THEN it's over! :'(
i have to say, I've really loved and enjoyed this story! it's so innocent and sweet just like Christmas...
as always, please say what you think! it means more than you probably would think!
bye!
