Chapter 338 - Vows

The Wedding

Weddings are beautiful. The wedding jiggles, the laughter, the jitters, they all made it special. Everyone in the hall looked forward to seeing the bride in her beautiful gown and the groom in his tuxedo. Everyone had different expectations but they were all geniuely happy. But the happiest person today was Jake, who hasn't stopped grinning since the dawn of day.

"Cold feet?" Phil asked as he helped him with his tie.

"Never! My feet are all warm in here." He said waving his feet at them making the men chuckle.

"Dude is super excited. Can't wait to get it rough tonight." Mike teased while they all laughed again.

"I also can't wait to get it rough tonight. Dude the bridal girls are to die for." Rick drooled from the window where he was having a clear view of the ladies outside.

"Ouch!" He wailed when something hit his head. He frowned when he realized Dan had just thrown an empty box at him. "What's that for?" He snapped at him.

"Dude STDs are real. Keep it infor one day." Dan lectured while Rick rolled his eyes at him.

"Can someone tell me why we still hang out with this fool?" Rick asked before throwing something back at Dan.

Phil looked at the duo fighting and sighed before glancing back at Jake. "How do you feel?" Phil inquired.

"Like the happiest man in the world." He replied while Phil nodded.

As expected.

.....

Jake had never seen a more beautiful sight till he saw her walk down the aisle looking perfect in her wedding gown. His heart skipped with every step she took closer to the podium where he was anxiously waiting for her. She had her arms hooked around Kevin's who had finally found his role, and it was far more important than being the best man, because right now he was the one walking Jade down the aisle.

Jake held his breath and stared at her unblinkingly till she stopped right in front of him. She looked angelic and beautiful.

In one word, she looked heavenly.

He wouldn't be wrong if he said she felt like heaven, because to him that was what she felt like.

"Hey." Jade greeted with a light blush creeping over her cheek as she stared at her picturesque man, from under her veil. He was looking radiant and handsome.

"Hey." Jake greeted back, his eyes still fixated at her. It all felt like a dream. He had never for a second thought about spending his life with anybody or standing before a girl donned in a wedding dress till she came into his life. It felt like it was only yesterday when the girl in a sexy red dress approached him with the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen, making an absurd request. But as absurd as it had been Jake was grateful it all happened.

They had their eyes fixated at one another as the officiating minister started the ceremony. Jake hitched when he rolled up her veil and her face came into view. He teared up at the sight of her. She looked like an angel....his angel. He quickly looked away to wipe his tears.

Jade's cheeks flushed and her eyes also welled when Jake sobbed as he stared at her. Every guest at the auditorium awed at the sight of the cute Jake while others who had seen him lose himself when Jade was in a coma cried with him.

They knew his tears were tears of joy. The man was simply happy. The moment for him was overwhelming.

Everyone anxiously waited to hear the vows of the two love birds and when the time came the whole auditorium fell into silence, so much if a pin dropped it's sound would echo through the hall.

Jake held her hands in his, his eyes staring deep into hers.

"To be honest I'm speechless, no words can perfectly describe how I feel. My feelings for you are simply indescribable. All my life I thought I had all I needed to survive and live through my days in bliss, but little did I know I had nothing and was only existing. I had no personal goals or aspirations till you stepped into my life and you became my only goal. You showed me the difference between living and existing, and I started living with you. You taught me how to love, smile and be a better person. I keep asking myself each day what karma I earned to deserve such an angel like you."

"I'm so lucky to have you Jade. I know this is a huge step for me, for us, it's a journey of a lifetime and I can't think of anyone else I want to start this journey with other than you. I can't promise to be hundred percent perfect, but I promise to make you happy, to love you and cherish until my dying day. I'll spend my days loving no one else but you, treasuring you. Thank you for giving me this lifetime opportunity to be with you. I vow to treasure it till the end. I love you Jade."

Jade felt her eyes swell as she heard his sweet promises to her. Gripping his hands firmly she smiled at him, "I love you too."

"Before I met you I thought I had had my fair share at love. I wanted peace and comfort and that's what I found with you. Jake I've never wanted to be with someone the way I want to be with you. No one has made me smile the way you've made smile. You made me happy till I became addicted to it. I know relationships are not always perfect and are full of hurdles but I don't want to face these challenges with anyone but you, because I know you're my soulmate from God. I can't promise perfection, but I promise to be a good wife, your better half. I promise to love you, live with you, cherish you and never get tired of you. I promise to put my best into this relationship and accompany you with all of my heart, body and soul till death brings us closer and never apart. I love you Jake Beau, now and until forever."
