All my dreams are coming true since I met this woman and I can’t wait to live every adventure with her.
When she reaches me, her smile matches mine. Open, loving, permanent.
I take her hand and we face the officiant.
After lots of back and forth, we decided the best place to get married was right in our backyard, and here we are.
The gardens look amazing, lush and vibrant, but for me, she steals the show.
The ceremony begins and all I can think about is having her say ‘I do’. When that happens, we will officially belong to each other. I’ll be her husband and she’ll be my wife.
My chest swell slightly as I think about calling her that.
“I understand you have prepared you own vows, is that true?”
Both Noelle and I nod at him.
“Very well, Mr. Thatcher, you go first.”
I take her hands in mine and look deep in her eyes. I need her to feel as well as hear what I feel about her.
“Dear Noelle. You are the love of my life. I’m ready to go on this adventure with you. I’ll keep you safe, mind, body, and soul. I gave my heart to you the day I first saw you and you’ve kept it safe ever since. I promise to do the same with yours. You are my biggest treasure and I’ll always put you first. Through hell or high water, my love, I’ll always be by your side. You’re it for me, and I can’t wait to spend forever with you.”
Tears fall down her face and her smile lights up my world.
“I love you,” she whispers. And my smile grows impossibly larger.
“Miss Quinn.” Both our heads turn to the officiant when he calls her. “It’s your turn now to say your vows.”
Looking back to one another, I fall into the depths of her eyes again. I’m totally and utterly in love with this woman, but I find that I’m falling deeper and deeper for her each day.
“Maverick, honey. You are my knight in shining armor, my prince charming, the love of my life. I don’t know how I survived before you came along, but I’m really happy I’ll never have to wonder again. You make me feel safe, loved, adored, worshipped, cherished, protected, and I know that I can always count on you.”
I couldn’t be happier and prouder of the words she was saying to me. Knowing she could feel all I felt for her was the biggest reward ever and I could die a happy man because I had done my part right.
“Life has been bliss since we took a leap of faith with each other and the time has come to embark on a new journey. You are about to become my beloved husband and I’ll forever be your wife. And I can’t wait to see what that will bring for us. I love you.”
A tear or two have made their way down my cheeks.
I whisper, “I love you so much,” as I squeeze her hands. I wish it was time for the kiss already.
She smiles and starts talking again.
“Life with you has been the best so far, so I hope you’re ready for what’s coming.”
“I’m ready for anything,” I let her know. Because with her on my side I can take on the world.
“Good, because this new life that we are starting will be a little more crowded.”
I frown. Crowded. I look at the officiant who is looking at us amused. I look at the people around us but they are all looking expectantly at us.
“Honey?” she calls my attention back to her and my eyes crash on hers. She smiles tenderly, places a hand on her flat belly and says, “We’re pregnant.”
And my world stops at that word. Pregnant.
My eyes fly to her belly, then back at hers.
“Yeah?” I ask tentatively. She can’t be serious, right?
