“Are you ready?” Jack asked me.
“As ready as I’ll ever be.” I said. Jack took my arm and we got into the line that was out of sight from everyone. Cassie stood before me, a beautiful vision in a pink dress. I had made her my maid of honor. My other bridesmaids were Heather and Kelly. I heard the music start and we watched as one of Josh’s second cousins started down the aisle. Then Kelly and Heather went. Then Cassie went. Finally, when they were in place, the wedding march started and all mine and Josh’s family, along with our closest friends stood up. Jack escorted me down the aisle.
Josh looked really handsome in his tuxedo. His best man was TJ, and his ushers were Joey and Lance. Chris and Justin were sitting in the second row on his side. When Jack and I had made it up to Josh, Jack handed me over. Josh helped me up to my place, right in front of the officiant. I handed my bouquet to Cassie, and let Josh take both of my hands.
The ceremony started with words about what a marriage is. Josh and I just stared into each other’s eyes, knowing that this day was the beginning of a new chapter of our lives. We finally got to the vows. I started them off.
“So many times, I thought I held it in my hands, but just like grains of sand, love slipped through my fingers. And so many nights, I asked the Lord above, please make me lucky enough to find a love that lingers. Something keeps telling me that you could be my answered prayer. You must be heaven sent I swear. ‘Cause something happens when you look at me I forget to speak. Something happens when you kiss my mouth my knees get so weak. Could it be true this is what God has meant for me, ‘cause baby, I can’t believe that something like you could happen to me.”
“Girl in your eyes, I feel your fire burn, all your secrets I will learn, even if it takes forever. With you by my side, I can do anything. I don’t care what tomorrow brings, as long as we’re together. My heart is telling me that you could be my meant to be. I know it more each time we touch. ‘Cause something happens when you look at me, I forget to speak. Something happens when you kiss my mouth my knees get so weak. Could it be true this is what God has meant for me, ‘cause baby, I can’t believe that something like you could happen to me.”
Then came the rings.
“With this ring, I wed thee, Joshua Scott Chasez. I promise to love, to cherish, to have and to hold, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sickness and in health, until death do us part.” I slipped on Josh’s new platinum ring band. Josh got ready to do his vows.
“With this ring, I wed thee, Melody Elissa Beam. I promise to love, to cherish, to have and to hold, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sickness and in health, until death do us part.” Josh put my ring on my finger. It was beautiful. It was a pink heart stone with three small diamonds on either side of it.
Finally, the officiant pronounced us husband and wife. Josh smiled when it came time for our first kiss as a married couple. He leaned down and kissed me on the lips. I reached for more, and it ended up being one of the sweetest kisses we’ve ever shared. When we finished, we gazed into each other’s eyes. We were married! We turned to the assembled crowd.
“May I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Joshua Scott Chasez.”
