BXBX NOVEL Chapter 311 - You're Stuck With Me
They were still lost in each other\'s gaze when the officiator cleared his throat;
\'\'Love is such a beautiful thing. \'\' He said and everyone laughed. Tiana\'s cheeks flushed and her eyes broke away from Nicklaus; she looked behind him and she smiled when she saw Michael. He was the groom\'s man.
Nicklaus didn\'t have any friends, so it was trouble when he was to choose a groom\'s man, she suggested Michael since he had become close to them since after the event with Catherine. It wasn\'t a bad idea, and when he asked him, he had accepted immediately, and coincidentally, Diana was her bridesmaid too, although she was suspecting there was something between them, she didn\'t want to jump to conclusions, but it was rare for her intuitions to be wrong;
\'\'You both look so perfect, like a pair made in heaven. Ah, you make us single pringles jealous. \'\' The officiator joked and everyone laughed again, lightening the emotional mood that filled the room from the procession and the slow song.
\'\'Alright, if there\'s anyone here against this beautiful union, speak now or forever hold your peace. \'\'
The room was quiet as the officiator watched to see if there was anyone of that nature when he saw that no-one was coming forth; he smiled;
\'\'Alright, you may say your vows. \'\'
Tiana looked at him, they had talked about the vows a few days ago, she didn\'t know if he had anything planned, but she didn\'t want to ask him, it would spoil the thrill, so she just waited to hear what he would say to her.
Her eyes curved in crescents as he smiled at her;
\'\'Beautiful, I met you when I was at the worst point in my life, in darkness and alone, and when I thought it wouldn\'t ever get better, you walked right in and lit me up. You brought light into my darkness and you calmed my storms.
Every day I wake up and look at you by my side, I wonder what I had done in my past life to make me so lucky to have you. You\'re insanely beautiful; sweet, loving, daring, and babyish sometimes but that just makes me love you more. I can\'t explain with words what you mean to me, beautiful, but I promise to always hold your hand, to kiss you to sleep, to make you laugh, and never let a tear drop from your face. I promise to be the best dad to our unborn kids and the perfect husband for you, I\'ll forever, truly, and completely love you, till death do us part. \'\'
Tiana\'s cheeks flushed, she knew he didn\'t memorize any of the words he had said, everything he said just came from his thoughts that moment. But she had spent hours writing a long vow for him, she had it in her head but instead of saying the vows she memorized, she began.
\'\'I hated you so much when I met you,\'\' he chuckled lightly at her words, knowing what she meant;
\'\'you were cold, arrogant, frosty, and everything icy, I wondered what kind of human you were, but as they say, never judge a book by its cover. When I got to know you, everything I thought about you changed. Man cannot be perfect, but you were perfection to me, everything I wanted and more. Sometimes I get lost staring at you, cause damn! You\'re breathtaking. \'\'
She shook her head, as she complimented him, making everyone aww.
\'\'I never knew I could love anyone so completely until I met you. I wake up with a smile every day knowing that you are lying next to me. You support me in every possible way and I wish I can love you more. I promise to be there for you through it all, I promise to always make you happy, I promise to be a sweet and doting wife to you and the best mother to our kids, and I promise to hold your hands till we are one hundred and fifty. Husband, I don\'t know if you know but you are stuck with me for life, and I\'m never leaving you, you\'re mine now and even in our next world you would still be mine.\'\'
Tiana paused as she smiled; \'\'you\'ve swept me off my feet Nicklaus Howells, and I never want to be on my feet again, I love you and till death do us part, I will be yours. \'\'
The crowd erupted in cheers and the orator finally said;
\'\' Nicklaus Howells, do you take this woman to be your wife? \'\'
\'\'I do.\'\' Nicklaus replied.
\'\' And Tiana Peters, do you take this young man to be your husband? \'\'
\'\' I do. \'\' she replied before he could finish speaking, a bright smile on her lips.
\'\'You may now kiss the bride; \'\'
Nicklaus held her face with his hands and kissed her lips amidst the cheers from the crowd.
Everyone clapped as they turned around and waved to them walking back down the aisle. The congregation stood up and gave them hugs, Tiana soon separated from Nick as she was taken away by Grandma and her friends.
After greeting them, the single girls gathered for the bouquet toss, Tiana wanted her sister to get it so she checked where she was standing and then tossed it over her shoulder towards her, but when she turned around it was in the hands of Diana.
\'\'Oh well; \'\' Diana laughed as she made eye contact with Michael, then she pulled her eyes away shyly.
Tiana was happy that she got it too, so she hugged her; \'\'
Her eyes fell on Claire behind her and she gleamed happily, then hugged her after.
\'\'Where is Leo? \'\' she asked, her eyes searching around but she didn\'t catch him;
\'\'I don\'t know, we are no longer together, let\'s not bring him up now. \'\' Claire smiled and hugged her again;
\'\'I\'m so happy for you.\'\'
Tiana was surprised, what in hell would have caused them to separate? She could not understand what was going on, but since she asked that they don\'t bring it up, she decided to leave it, maybe they would talk about it later.
Tiana\'s eyes searched around for Nicklaus, and when she saw him, she walked towards him;
But before she got to him, Richard walked in front of her, making her stop.
