Hi guys, so sorry about the delay in posting this chapter, life has been pretty hectic, but its finally returning to normal! I just wanted to say thank you for the kind reviews that some of you have left, it really means a lot to me that you are enjoying it!
After we are out of the marquee and on our own, I pull my wife – Anastasia, into my arms and kiss her passionately.
"We're married!" I grin when I pull away and I can see the build up of tears in her eyes. No! You're not going to cry Ana, not today!
"I know, I don't think that I've ever been this happy, I love you so much." She sniffs, grasping my face in her hands and pulling my face down for a kiss.
"I know, I love you too, so much." I whisper against her lips before kissing her again, until we are interrupted by the photographer so we can go and take some photos to make our day memorable.
"Please welcome for the first time, Mr. and Mrs. Christian Grey!" Elliot shouts down the microphone as me and Anastasia walk into the marquee hand in hand, the room erupts into applause and cheer as we make our way to the dance floor so we can greet our guests.
I slide my arm around Ana's waist and pull her close to me and the photographer circles us taking photos as we smile and wave at our guests. I lean down and kiss her hair before making our way to our seats at the front of the marquee where my parents are sitting along with my sister, brother and Kate.
As we are waiting for our starters to be delivered, I slide my arm around the back of Ana's chair and stroke the exposed skin on her back. She really does have the softest skin, I can't wait to feel all of her skin after we leave for our honeymoon.
After we have eaten our starters and mains, it's time for the speeches and Elliot is up first, I hope to god he doesn't embarrass us.
"My little bro has warned me about this speech for the past month and kept saying that it couldn't be too risqué or embarrassing, I think all my family has hounded me about not embarrassing my little bro on his big day," he starts, oh god I don't know if I'm dreading this or not.
What feels like half an hour later he concludes his speech.
"And I just wanted to say that, I love you and I wish you and Ana all the best in the world with whatever happens," he raises his glass, as he rounds the table to hug me and Ana.
Wow, his speech was pretty tame to what I was expecting. I was half expecting that I would be having security removing him. But I'm actually a very proud brother. We take our seats again, draping my arm around the back of Ana's chair while she holds my other hand with both of hers. She looks so beautiful, she's looking round at everything, the light reflecting in those beautiful blue eyes of hers. Wow, I am a lucky man.
It's time for our first dance and I can't wait to hold Ana close in my arms as we dance our first dance together as a married couple.
I lead her to the dance floor as our family and friends armed with cameras gather around the sides of the dance floor. I snake my arms around Ana's waist as she wraps hers around my neck, as the opening note of the perfect song I have chosen for our first dance begin the play, I lean down and kiss the bit where her neck meets her shoulder as Ana snuggles her head into my neck.
"How are you feeling?" She asks, pulling back to look at me.
"Oh Ana, ever so happy," I grin, leaning down to kiss her and for that moment when our lips touch, we are the only two people in the room.
"Me too," she whispers when I pull away.
As the song I have chosen - I Put A Spell On You by Nina Simone comes to end and fades into Witchcraft by Frank Sinatra, I pull Ana into my arms and start to properly dance with her, whisking her around the dance floor as all the other couples come to join us with dancing.
After a few songs and dancing with different people; my Mom, sister, grandmother and Carla, I am finally reunited with Ana as we dance to I've Got You Under My Skin, one of the songs that we danced to at our first Charity Ball together and it makes me smile at the memory. Feels like we're come a long way since then.
Ray and Carla are up next to dedicate a speech to their baby girl. Carla is very emotional throughout and I think Ray is a little bit choked up too. And I see the tears welling up in Ana's eyes as she watches them. I run my thumb over her knuckles.
As soon as their speech is finished and everyone is cheering, Ana leaps up onto her feet to embrace her mother and step-father. She pulls away from each of them and her mother strokes her cheeks, wiping away the tears.
I get up and approach them, sliding my arm around Ana again.
"Oh, Christian, you really are a wonderful son-in-law, Ana chose very well, take care of her," Carla wipes her nose in a tissue.
"Thank you and I fully intend to Carla," I lean in and kiss her cheek.
We walk back to our table and dessert is about to be served.
After circulating around all our guests and taking some cute photos in the photo booth together it's finally time to leave or we'll miss our flight.
Ana is taking to Ros as I approach her, I run my hand over the curve of her behind to make her aware of my presence, she looks up as I press my back against her. I kiss her shoulder.
"We're making our leave Christian," Ros announces, standing up.
"Oh we're just about the leave too, off on our honeymoon,"
"Which he hasn't told me anything about, I hope I don't end up on some remote island where we have to take a boat to get food," she chuckles and I laugh with her. Oh Anastasia, I have the best honeymoon planned. Only the best for my beautiful Ana.
"Trust me Ana, it's gonna be the best,"
"So, you have the best time away and I'll make sure the company doesn't go under while you're away and I'll email you anything important," she says.
"Excellent, thank you so much for coming," I lean down and kiss her cheek.
"You're very welcome, I'll see you when you're back, I have to run, I have to run to the bathroom," and she wanders off.
"You ready?" I ask as Ana turns in my arms and wraps her arms around my neck.
"You bet, so excited." She grins, I lean down and kiss her.
And after I pull away, I send her off to get ready for the best honeymoon she could wish for. I smile, I can't wait to spend the next three weeks with my beautiful Ana. And start the rest of our lives together.
