Chapter 24

Klaus POV

She is beautiful, all smiles and a little moved. She holds the famous bridal bouquet, which is filled with white flowers.

Her hair was in a bun with two curly strands framing her face.

When she reach the altar, she handed the bouquet to Bonnie and took my hand in hers.

Music is now complete and I saw that her eyes were filled with tears she contenais. I then start my discourses.

- " When I saw you at my bedside in the hospital, I saw this beautiful woman who in front of me, looking at me, and all I could hope it's that you stay with me. I was staying in a dark period of my life, or I was not really happy. But you will not abandon me and you were able to give me the courage to fight to get out of that coma. You made sure that I go well. Always. Since I met you, or met a second time ... "

The guests laughed.

" I could see you're an exceptional woman, always caring, attentive, strong, intelligent, and full of light. And at the same time you were able to restore the light in my life. I did not believe in love, especially not with a woman as wonderful as you but you show me that everything was up possible. Kevin Auliac said : 'Love is not a feeling ... It's a rebirth' and I finally understand the meaning of this quote. Thanks you for all, Caroline. "

I wipe away a tear running down her cheek, then the priest is facing her.

- " Nik, when I first met you the first time, I put several times before to tell you that I loved you, because I was afraid of hurting me, but who's not ? Then I have told you, and you told me the back, and this time has forever remain engraved in my memory. When you go away that night, after I give you my decision to face this, I realized I should have waited. I'm impulsive and when I was calling to tell me your accident, the long minutes I spent in the waiting room allowed me to remind myself that evening. I repeatedly ask me what would happen if I did not tell you that, if the evening would have continued as it should have, if we'd be back together at home ... and questions haunt me for weeks or you was in a coma. I then wanted to stay until you wake up and then leave, because when I realized that you had forgotten me, my heart was ripped apart, and I could not bear to see you and remind me all this past times has your side when you did had no idea of that.

But what's really and permanently changed my mind, it's when your memory was back, and I thought there was maybe a chance, a hope for us.

You never push me away of your life, even if I was a stranger in your eyes. I then re-learned to love you. And anyway, I do not think I can erase my feelings for you, ever.

When you ask me to marry you. Lots of questions have come to me, but I knew in my heart that I would say yes. And I'll never regret it, because when you told me you loved me, I understood that no matter where I go, I will never cease to think of you. "

I had to fight to hold back tears. The priest then pronounced the words I repeat and the son of Finn and Sage, aged just three years, approached us with alliances.

- " I, Niklaus Mikaelson takes you, Caroline Forbes, like my wife, from this day, for better and for worse. To love you and cherish you all the days of my life, in wealth and poverty, in health and in sickness, until death separates us. "

I then slipped the ring on her finger.

- " I, Caroline Forbes, takes you, Niklaus Mikaelson, like my husband, from that day, for better and for worse. To love you and cherish you all the days of my life, in wealth and poverty, in health and in sickness, until death separates us. "

And she slipped the ring on my finger.

- " If one of you is opposed to what these two people are united by the sacred bonds of marriage, he says now or he keep quiet at never. " said the priest.

Fortunately, no one objects, otherwise it would have ended with my fist in his face.

- " By the power conferred to me, I declare you, husband and wife. You may kiss the bride. " ends priest.

I then took Caroline's face in my hands, and gently but passionately kiss her, and she replied in the same way.

I hear the applause of the guests and the priest.

I gently put myself away from her face, but still remains nearby for her to hear.

- " I love you Caroline. "

- " I love you too, Nik. "

External

The photographer takes so full of photos of the guests, the married, the places ... Before everyone headed inside to the reception.

Caroline then starts back and decide to launch the bouquet.

This is Bonnie who catch him and every eyes goes to Kol.

- " You will be the next brother ! " said Klaus.

- " I should hope so ! "

Hours later, when everyone has finished eating, it's time for Klaus and Caroline to dance their first dance on the song A Thousand Years by Christina Perri.

Klaus POV

" Heart beats fast

Colors and promises

How to 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

One step closer "

Then I get closer to Caroline, holding her tighten against me.

" I have died everyday waiting for you

Darling don't be afraid I have loved you

For a thousand years

I love you for a thousand more "

I then look at Caroline's eyes. I wanted to show her what I could not say with my words, make her understand that she was the one for me, and she always be.

" 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

One step closer "

" I have died everyday waiting for you

Darling don't be afraid I have loved you

For a thousand years

I 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 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 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 love you for a thousand more "

I then departed from the dance floor, taking Caroline with me.

- " Where are we going ? " she asks me.

- " Out ... "

- " What ? But we can't leave, it's our wedding ! "

- " Do not worry, I've already warned them ! Meanwhile, it's time for our honeymoon ! "

Then I see Caroline smile. We are moving towards a convertible.

- " So ? Where are we going ? "

- " Rome ... and Paris, and Tokyo ... " I said and she kiss me lovingly, before we take the road.
