The reception took place outside of mine and Erica's house. It was a warm August evening.
We started to make the wedding toasts.
First up was Rory.
"Sarah and Ethan are the brother and sister I always wanted," said Rory. "Both of them are part of my family. I'd like to make a toast to my new brother, Ethan. Dude, I hope you had enough sleep for 18 years because you won't be getting any for awhile."
After that was Benny.
"So I heard that the best man always tells the best toast, well I'm gonna tell the story of Ethan and Sarah. Just laugh at the parts that seem funny, okay?" said Benny. Everybody giggled. "It started during freshmen year. Ethan and I were walking through the cafeteria. All of a sudden, Ethan spills his food all over," People started snickering, "this girl, who turns out to be Sarah. Once he saw her, Ethan never stopped looking." Everyone said Awwah! "Ethan really liked Sarah. A lot! I made a bet with him that in exactly one year he has to ask Sarah out. He did, and she said yes. Now if it wasn't for the best man, this wedding wouldn't be for Mr. and Mrs. Morgan."
After Benny walked off the stage, it was Erica's turn.
"Usually, I thought of Ethan as a regular nerd like Rory and Benny," said Erica, "I thought he was childish like Rory and a big ol' flirt like Benny. But no. He was smart, sweet, tough, and a hell of a fighter! The things I like about Ethan is that he respects Sarah and is not shallow at all. I'm so glad that he didn't think I was really a blonde. Like OMG!" Everyone started giggling.
Up next was Samantha. "I would like to thank Mason and Regina Fox for bringing this wonderful person into our lives. She fully completes our son, Ethan. I'd like to propose a toast to my son, Ethan, and my new daughter-in-law, Sarah. Congratulations, Sarah. You're officially a Morgan, even before you were."
The final one was Grandma Weir.
"I can picture Ethan and Sarah in the future now," said Grandma, "It'll be eight years since the day they found each other. Both of them will still be look at each other with the same eyes as they did before. The eyes of love at first sight."
After all of the amazing speeches, Ethan and I danced to my favorite song that perfectly defines our love life: A Thousand Years by Christina Perry.
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How do be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid
To fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt
Suddenly goes away somehow
I gazed happily into Ethan's eyes. He smiled back. As we danced, I hummed the words to the song. I knew that Ethan and I were going to live for thousands this thousands of years. After those years pass, I will still love him.
"One step closer," I sanged silently.
I have died everyday
waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything
Take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath,
Every hour has come to this
I couldn't think of any moment more perfect than this. Ethan spun me around and then dipped me.
One step closer
I have died everyday
Waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed
I would find you
Time has brought
Your heart to me
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
One step closer
One step closer
I have died everyday
Waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid,
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed
I would find you
Time has brought
Your heart to me
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
"I love you," he whispered to me.
"I love you," I whispered back. We both passionately kissed.
I danced with Rory and Benny for a few songs. Both of them were really wild on the dance floor.
Soon, it was already 1 AM. Ethan and I were heading to our car for our honeymoon.
Before we left, Ethan and I hugged Ross and Samantha.
"Guys, take care," said Samantha. "We love you both."
"I'm gonna miss you two so much," Ethan said to his parents.
As we head to the car, Erica handed me my suitcase that she packed for me.
"Don't worry," she said. "Everything you need is in there."
"Thanks, Erica," I said as I hugged. Then, she hugged Ethan. I hugged Benny and Rory, and gave each of them a kiss on the cheek.
Ethan and I got into his car, and everbody cheered as we drove away.
