I glance over to her and see her staring at me already.
Nah, we look way more in love then them.
I grin at her, tightening my hand around hers as we check in.
Ellen is behind the front counter and she beams at us as we reenter the chapel.
“I knew you two would be back,” she says with a sly grin and I tug Eden closer to me.
“We’re ready for you now,” Ellen’s son, James, says as he comes through the lobby.
We follow him inside and I’m surprised by how nice the chapel is. It’s a little run down on the outside with the white siding and pink accents. But inside, everything is pristine.
Dark hardwood floors are paired with cream-white walls and we follow James up the aisle. There are six pews for guests, but we just have ourselves. I realize my family is going to be furious that they weren’t here to witness this, but I can’t wait any longer to make Eden my wife. They’ll get over it, or I’ll just marry her again in front of them.
There’s a little stage up front and Frank is there, dressed as Elvis.
“Welcome back, you two,” he says with a friendly smile as we stop in front of him.
I thread my fingers through Eden’s, smiling as she gives me a little squeeze. Marie, James’ wife, comes out of a side door and passes Eden a bouquet of red roses with a smile.
“You look beautiful,” she whispers to Eden who murmurs her thank you.
Soft music starts to play and Frank looks to us.
“Sorry this is a bit rushed. We had to fit you in between two other appointments,” Frank says apologetically, but I know that Eden and I don’t care. We just want to be married already.
“It’s okay,” Eden says sweetly and Frank smiles.
“Ready?”
We both nod, squeezing each other’s hands tighter.
“We are gathered here today…” Frank begins in his best Elvis accent.
Eden giggles at that and I tune him out as he starts the ceremony. Instead, I stare at Eden and wonder how I got so lucky.
She looks perfect. Her curves are hugged tight in her white dress, her hair still mussed from my hands and the limo floor. I still can’t believe that our first time together was in the back of a limo. I just couldn’t wait one more second to have her.
I’ve never felt this way. Not that I’ve done a lot of dating in the past, but I’ve never felt an overwhelming need to be with someoneright now. Only Eden can bring that desire out in me and make me feel like I’ll die if I don’t touch her.
“Do you have the rings?” Frank asks and I nod, holding up my hand to show that we’re both still wearing them from last night.
Frank laughs and then informs us that typically we slide them on now. It takes us a few seconds to wiggle the bands off and pass them to each other.
“Now, do you, Alexander Bronson, take Eden Camrie to be your wedded wife; to have and to hold, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do you part?”
“I do,” I say instantly, grinning like a loon as I look down at my Eden and slide the ring onto her finger.
“And, do you, Eden Camrie, take Alexander Bronson to be your wedded husband; to have and to hold, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do you part?”
“I do,” Eden whispers, her eyes starting to fill with tears.
She slides the ring onto my finger and it feels like everything clicks and is right in the world when the ring is back on my finger.
“By the power vested in me by the state of Nevada, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride!”
I grab Eden, dipping her back and making her giggle as I lay one on her. She kisses me back, her tongue tangling with mine as the Cupid family cheers for us.
