"Where the hell is she?" Damon asked David. "Chill. She will be here soon okay don't worry." David assured him. Damon frowned and looked down the hall.
The hall was beautifully decorated. It was all crystals and it had an icy look to it. It looked like an ice castle and even the wedding dress he sent someone to design for has diamonds in it to combine perfectly.
He ran his finger through his hair in frustration. He contained himself from going over there and asking her what's wrong. He wanted to talk to her and tell her that she shouldn't be afraid because he's here. He wanted to let her know that he's freaking nervous too.
"Uh, bro…" Davin scratched his neck nervously. "Speak," Damon ordered him impatiently. "She locked herself in the dressing room and refused to come out," David informed him.
"Give me my phone," Damon told him and David listened to him with a smug smile. Everyone was enjoying both of the ice cubes reactions. The Collins and the Long's felt like taking out some popcorn to watch the show.
"Bro can you believe it. I should have agreed to be her bridesmaid so I can see those expressions on her face." Christine chuckled. Jack rolled his eyes. "Didn't you say flashy dresses weren't for you?" He questioned.
"I mean well yes but I rather wear them than miss her face." Christine sighed. "I'll enjoy it from far if I have to actually. Now that I think about it, I don't want to wear that dress." She ended up submitting. " No matter how tempting it is. Dresses are a no." She told him and laid her head next to her partner, Marcos.
He chuckled and kissed her forehead. "What are you wearing then?" He asked. "Shut up. It's a romper, not a dress." She defended. "I needed to look somehow presentable okay."
…
Damon sent the text with a smirk on his face. "That will help her right? If it still doesn't work I will really drag her here." He mumbled and handed David the phone back.
He stood straight and looked at the direction where the bride is expected to enter. The music started and the lights dimmed. Everyone stopped their chatter and their attention moved to where Damon had his eyes set.
Anna tightly held onto Leo's arm. "Dad I'm nervous." She told him. "Okay let's go back then." He responded. "What do you mean?" Anna asked with a frown. "Well, I regret you meeting him. Come back home okay. We miss you." He complained childishly.
Anna sighed. "I'll always come back, don't worry. You guys have always been my family. Even if my biological parents aren't able to be here I'm glad I have you guys by my side." She told him.
"Okay, then that's what you say now let's go. The music started." He informed her. Anna nodded and she took her first step with him into the hall.
Her hair fell on her back and her dress flowed beautifully as she walked. She looked like an ice fairy. A beautiful goddess.
Anna gulped when she felt everyone's eyes on her. She focused on one person. A pair of green eyes she stared out through the whole walk. It felt like it took her forever to walk.
She felt like it was taking an eternity to reach his side. Memories of their time together flowed through her mind and she sniffed. She looked towards her groom and saw tears in his eyes. She couldn't help but laugh as tears of her own came rolling down uncontrollably.
The feelings were indescribable. She felt like her heart would explode from happiness. She never thought she would be able to feel this happy. It's as if she was being overloaded with happiness and love.
She squeezed Leo's arm and kept walking.
Damon didn't bother to wipe his tears away and he kept looking into her beautiful ocean blue eyes. He wanted to hold her in his arms already and he was getting impatient.
Many of the guests themselves started tearing up at the emotional scene. Vanessa sniffed and Ellie was already sobbing. Christine wiped her tears away and kept her indifferent front. David sighed as he felt himself tear up too. He looked at his wife and they both smiled at each other. He looked at the baby in his wife's hands and he wanted to see his sister achieve the same happiness with Damon.
Anna's mom wiped her tears away. Even though she isn't her biological mom she still loves her with all her heart. She sighed, hoping her the best.
Annie was tearing up and she was sobbing as she also walked down the aisle in front of her mom. She pouted her lips thinking of how happy Anna has made her. After her mother's death, she felt like the world had ended but Anna showed her so much love and care and so did Damon. She couldn't help but already recognize them as her parents.
Anna cleared her throat when she arrived by Damon's side. She wiped her tears away and looked towards him who had still not taken his eye from her. She laughed as more tears made their way down her cheeks. She let go of Leo's arm and walked towards him. She wiped his tears away with her thumb.
"That was a good decision, honey. Although I would not have mined dragging you here." He mused and intertwined their fingers together. They were lost in each other's presence that they only snapped back to reality when the priest cleared his throat.
"Are you ready or shall we wait a few more minutes?" The priest grinned playfully. Anna shook her head with a smile on her face. Damon turned towards him and nodded. "Let's start before my bride runs away." He joked making the crown laugh.
Anna nudged his arm making another round of laughter escape from the crowd.
"Alright then." The priest gave them a reassuring look and smiled.
" Damon Collins and Anna Long, have you come here to enter into Marriage without coercion, freely and wholeheartedly?"
Anna gave Damon a look and he smirked and squeezed her hand gently. "I have" They responded in unison.
"Are you prepared, as you follow the path of Marriage, to love and honor each other for as long as you both shall live?" The priest asked the second question.
"I am." They responded again in unison.
"Are you prepared to accept children lovingly from God and to bring them up according to the law of Christ and his Church?" He asked.
"I am," Damon responded together with Anna.
At this point Anna's palms were sweaty and she felt Damon squeeze her hand tightly as if telling her it's all going to be okay.
"The vows you are about to take are to be made in the presence of God, who is the judge of all and knows all the secrets of our hearts. So, will you please, as an expression that your hearts are joined together in love, please take each other's hands before stating your vow."
Anna and Damon turned to look at each other. Anna's eyes teared up again. 'Thank God it's waterproof.' She sighed in relief not wanting to look like a mess because of the makeup.
Damon smiled and held onto her hands tightly. " If anybody would have told me this would happen to me one day I would have never believed them. To think that I would fall in love it still surprises me. Maybe I thought I was not capable of it. With you, I learned to love. I learned to be a better person. I have no regrets and I never will. I can confidently say that I will always protect you and love you with all my heart." Annie walked up to him and he took the ring from her.
"So, I Damon Collins take you, Anna Long, to be my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death may part us." He said with clear love in his eyes and slid the ring in her finger.
Anna felt as if she was discovering a new side of him. Her heart thumped loudly and she couldn't hear anything but the loud thumping of her heart. She felt so touched and she wanted to run into his arms but she knew that it was not the right time yet.
She put her lip. When she saw a questioning look on his face she smiled.
"I have a confession to make." She told everyone. Damon frowned and he squeezed her hand. Anna smiled reassuringly.
" I can say that I have been through a lot throughout my life. I have witnessed many things and I never in the slightest bit had the hope to see light again. I was consumed in my own darkness for so long I had lost myself. In the beginning, I was only thinking of getting rid of the weird attachment I had towards you so I accepted to enter a relationship with you."
"As time passed I realized I felt comfortable with you. Then I felt that I liked you and later I loved you. But now I love you even more. I realized that you have always made your way towards me. Even if I pushed you away or if I ran away. Even that one time I went missing for a whole month. You have always been at the end of the road waiting for me with open arms."
" I have to confess that I have felt that I'm not good enough for you sometimes. So much you have done for me... there is a lot of it. I just want to take this time to promise you that I won't ever run away again. I will never push you away and instead confide in you."
"I Anna Long take you, Damon Collins, as my lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death may part us." She said her final words. She had spoken from the heart and not realized she had left everyone in shock. She then slid the ring on his finger and held onto his hand tightly as tears streamed down her face.
She looked around and felt nervous. "You may now kiss the bri-"
Before the priest could finish his lips were already on hers, taking her by surprise. The priest shook his head with a smile on his face. "Nevermind he has done it." He chuckled and so did the crowd.
Holding her tightly Damon pushed his tongue inside her and gave her the most passionate kiss. She felt her knees weakened. He held her waist and gave her a hot and passionate kiss that made everyone stare at them in surprise and admiration.
Damon didn't care. All he knew is that he wanted her..now!
Her words had touched his heart and he felt tremendous joy. He only wanted her to say that she is his and he is hers. He wanted her to admit that they are together and that she will never run away from his love.
"I now declare you husband and wife!"
Anna bit his tongue slightly and pushed him away. "Control yourself!" She whispered, catching her breath. She heard the crowd clapping and cheering. Her eyes focused on his.
Damon pushed her against his hot body and took deep breaths to calm down.
" I love you, husband" She teased and sent him a wink.
"I love you, even more, Wife." He answered.
