I want to make memories with you forever and to live happily with you for as long as possible," she told him.
Elias felt nearly dazed by his affection for her. All he wanted to do was get to the end of the ceremony so that they could finally be officially married.
He had waited too long, and he didn't want to not be married to her for another minute longer.
They slipped their weddings rings on each other's fingers, smiling at each other as they joined hands and spoke their declarations.
They meant each and every word, promising to be together through any sort of circumstance. They had already proven that to each other time and time again.
"By the power vested in me, I pronounce you husband and wife," the speaker announced.
Elias cupped Alyssa's face in his hands, drawing her lips to his in a sweet, deep kiss as everyone cheered and applauded them. He pressed his smile to hers, feeling the warm blush on her cheeks.
