The music changed once April and Noah reached the front. Everyone stood. Jamie slowly walked down the aisle, her eyes on Luke who was breathtaking in his dark tuxedo. With each step she took, her eyes stayed locked on Luke, her heart brimming with love.
She smiled into his eyes when Jamie stood next to him. A slow, sexy grin spread across his face, making her heart skip a beat.
The dragon shifter elder cleared his throat. Jamie and Luke turned to face him.
The elder said in his deep voice, “Dearly beloved, we gather here today to celebrate the union of Luke and Jamie. They stand before us, ready to embark on a lifelong journey filled with love, devotion, and unwavering commitment.”
Jamie and Luke exchanged glances, communicating the deep love they felt for each other.
“Jamie and Luke, your love has blossomed through countless moments of laughter and tears. Today you declare your love and dedication to each other, promising to nurture and support one another through the highs and lows that life brings.”
Luke reached out for Jamie’s hand and held it tightly as the elder continued.
“Luke, do you take Jamie as your mate, your wife, to cherish and love her, supporting her dreams and goals, standing by her side through each chapter of your lives?”
“I do,” Luke promised. “You are the missing part of my heart and soul. I promise to honor and protect you, and to love you unconditionally for the rest of our lives.”
“Jamie, do you take Luke as your mate, your husband, to cherish and love him, supporting his dreams and goals, standing by his side, through each chapter of your lives?”
“I do,” Jamie said. “You are my rock, my best friend, my everything. I promise to be by your side through the bad and the good. I promise to love you always with my whole heart and stand beside you through all of life’s adventures.”
“By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you mates, man and wife. You may kiss your bride.”
The world around them vanished as Luke lowered his head and pressed his lips against Jamie’s, revealing a love and passion that mere words could not express.
The crowd cheered as Luke and Jamie walked back down the aisle and back into their house.
Luke wrapped his arms around Jamie and kissed her again.
“I can’t wait to be alone with you,” he said.
“I’m looking forward to that, too, but right now, we have a yard full of people who are waiting to celebrate.”
“Do you think they would notice if we didn’t show up?”
“I do believe that they would,” Jamie said.
They stepped back to the side yard where a huge white tent was set up. Tables were adorned with miniature rose bushes. Twinkling lights adorned the tent. April and several other women brought dishes out from the kitchen and set them on the side table, waiting for people to serve themselves.
“I’m glad that we are the couple of the hour, because we get to go first, and I’m starving,” Luke said.
“Actually, so am I,” Jamie said, rubbing her tummy.
The warm afternoon settled into a cool night.
The first dance was a magical moment that captivated everyone’s attention. Slow music played as Luke and Jamie danced together beneath the moon and stars. They held each other tightly, swaying to the rhythm. Their eyes locked together in love, and there was only the two of them as he captured her lips in a slow sensuous kiss.
As the night wore on, there were many heartfelt speeches and toasts wishing the couple a lifetime of love and happiness.
Although they both enjoyed the music, the dancing, and the fun of the reception, Luke and Jamie were glad when all the food had been packed in the kitchen, the cake had been cut and the gifts were opened.
Jamie and Luke were finally alone. They went into their bedroom and slowly undressed one another. They looked into each other’s eyes.
“I love you,” Luke said.
“I love you,” Jamie replied.
They laid together in the bed, touching each other, loving each other. Once they were both spent, they held each other tightly. Luke fell asleep rather quickly, while Jamie stayed away for a while, celebrating the pure happiness that radiated throughout her body, heart, and soul.
