She's a vision, an ethereal beauty that leaves me breathless. Her ivory gown hugs her curves and cascades to the floor, the delicate lace shimmering like morning dew on a spider's web. Jasmine's eyes, those enchanting pools of emerald green, lock onto mine, and I feel as if I'm drowning in their depths.
"Wow," I think to myself, struggling to find the words that could possibly do her justice. "Just... wow."
As she glides down the aisle, each step measured and graceful, I marvel at the woman who has chosen to share her life with me – this strong, compassionate, fearless woman who faced the darkness of our world and emerged victorious. And now, standing before me, she is the embodiment of light, love, and hope.
"Thank you, Luca," she says softly as they reach the altar, her hand trembling slightly as he places it in mine. He nods solemnly, a proud smile touching his lips.
"Take care of her, Dario," Luca whispers, his voice laced with emotion. I nod, knowing the weight of that responsibility, and squeeze Jasmine's hand reassuringly.
"Always," I promise him.
"Ready?" she whispers, her eyes shining with unshed tears as she takes her place beside me.
Frank steps forward, ready to officiate our wedding. To imagine my arch nemesis would one day be my greatest friend is a lesson in how unpredictable life is.
"Dear friends and family," Frank begins, his voice steady and strong. "We are gathered here today to witness the joining of Dario and Jasmine in marriage. Through their love, they have overcome the darkness of their past, and together, they stand before us as a symbol of hope and new beginnings."
I steal a glance at Jasmine, her eyes filled with love and joy. I think of the life we're about to embark upon – one that is ours to shape, filled with endless possibilities.
As Frank continues with the ceremony, I feel the weight of our past dissipating, replaced by the lightness of newfound happiness.
And I feel blessed.
"Jasmine, Dario, it's now time to exchange your vows. Please face each other and share your promises of love," Frank instructs, his voice full of emotion.
Tears well up in her eyes as Jasmine takes my hands in hers, the softness of her touch calming my racing heart.
"From the moment I met you, Dario, my life was set on a new path," she begins, her voice trembling slightly. "You not only tried to drive me off a cliff," – that's become a famous story for us to tell and people, – "but you've spent every moment since trying to save me from any and every obstacle that comes my way. You've opened my heart to a love I never knew could exist, and for that, I will be eternally grateful. You've shown me the true meaning of strength, loyalty, and unyielding devotion. And so, today, I promise to always stand by your side, to support and cherish you, through whatever challenges life may bring."
The sincerity in her words resonates deep within me, and I find myself struggling to hold back my own tears. As I gaze into her eyes, I know that this woman before me is my soulmate, my partner, and my equal in every way that matters. It's with immense gratitude that I begin my vows, pouring my heart out for all to hear.
"Jasmine, from the moment our paths crossed, you've been the light that guides me through even the darkest moments," I say, my voice thick with emotion. "You trusted me from the moment you met me, questioned me when no one else dared to, and gave me the greatest gift of all - being the mother to our child. Your love has awakened in me a fierce passion and drive to protect, nurture, and cherish what we have. I vow to be your rock, to stand by you no matter the obstacles we may face. Together, we'll forge a new path, one built on trust, respect, and unwavering love."
As our vows come to an end, Frank blesses our union and invites us to seal our promises with a kiss. This moment feels like the pinnacle of our journey together, the culmination of all we've been through and the beginning of so much more.
"By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Dario, you may now kiss your bride."
We inch closer, our eyes locked in an unbreakable gaze. And then, in a single moment, our lips collide. Time stands still as we lose ourselves in the moment.
The cheers and applause from our loved ones erupt around us. It feels like an anthem to the fact that we'll always have each other (and Amara of course) – and that's more than a dream come true.
The End
