A week later, we stopped at a small port. Tituba and I picked out all the things we needed: flowers, a dress, a veil, special food, drinks… a lot of drinks. It was going to be small, quick wedding, on the main deck of the ship. When we got back, I wasn't allowed to do anything, neither was Killian. The crew and Tituba took care of the whole thing themselves. Killian was in his cabin, and I was in my old one. I was finished getting ready fairly quickly. Unlike other brides, I wasn't nervous, I was impatient. I knew who and what I wanted. Why would I be nervous about that? I hear rapid footsteps coming down the stairs. It's time! Tituba came in and smiled widely when she saw me in my simple white dress. She handed my bouquet of flowers, and then helped me adjust my veil.
"Are you ready?" she asks. I nod.
"More than you know." I say with an ear to ear smile. She takes my hand, and leads me up the stairs, towards the main deck. She peaks her head out the door before turning and smiling at me. The door opens and I almost cry at the sight. The deck had a warm glow about it, due to the orange sunset. The crew lined up on both sides, standing like gentlemen. They weren't done professionally, but the deck had flowers decorated here and there. They looked pretty damn good for a crew of pirates work. But the best sight by far was my Killian waiting there for me at the end of the deck. His smile warms my heart. I didn't walk down the aisle. This was a pirate wedding; we didn't do elegant. I ran down the aisle towards him. Killian and the crew gave a joyous laugh. I think they really do respect Killian, and are glad to see him happy. I finally reach him and jumped into his arms. He hugged me tightly. We didn't kiss though, not yet. He puts me down, and takes my hand. We turn to face our minister, who surprisingly was Gibbs. I recently found out that Gibbs had an odd past for a pirate; he was once an ordained minister. What was once still is, though. He was going to have to do. Killian gave him a nod to start.
"Dearly beloved we be gathered here today… to nail your gizzards to the mast, you poxy curs-" Killian cuts Gibbs off.
"Good Lord, Gibbs, no wonder you became a pirate, you're a bloody awful minister." Everyone including Gibbs laughed. Killian reached behind him, taking the ring from quartermaster, and turning to me. "Emily Burrows, do you take me to be your husband?" he asks.
"I do." I smile, letting a tear stream down my cheek, as he slips the ring onto my finger. I then receive the ring from quartermaster, and turn back to Killian. "Killian Jones, do you take me to be your wife?" I ask.
"I do." He smiles. I slip the ring on to his finger, and we both turn back to Gibbs.
"As the Captain's first mate, and a former bloody awful minister, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss your bride, Cap'n." I turn and wrap my arms around Killians neck, and his around my waist lifting me, and pressing his lips to mine, and it was official. We were married. The crew cheered and toasted, even shot there pistols in to the air. Killian put me back down, and we turned to the crew.
"Now, let's gets drunk, in honor of my wife." Killian states, making the crew cheer even louder. Like I said this was a pirate wedding. We don't do elegant.
Hope you guys enjoyed there non-elegant wedding! :)
