Chapter 16 - The Most Beautiful Girl in the World

The kiss after being announced as Husband and Wife has always been the people's favorite part of a Wedding. As for me, I have always looked forward to the Wedding Vows. For me, the wedding vow is your partner's promise and proclamation of love before you spend your whole lives together.

But, How can he say his vows when he doesn't love me that way?

--

I can't believe this day has come. I'm now walking down the aisle with my Dad accompanying me, trying so hard not to trip and embarass myself. I want to look at the people around me, but all I can see right now is Jason.

Jason looked different today. Damn, the dude really is handsome. His eyes had this stare that I've never seen before .It looked familiar and foreign at the same time. But the fact that he's about to cry made me smirk. Then the thought suddenly sinked in... I'm getting married to my bestfriend. I've always wanted this. This is what I have prayed for years , it may not be real but it happened.

[I should be making the best out of it. So someday when it ends, I won't have regrets.]

The first part of the Wedding has gone smoothly. I was waiting for Claui to stand up and make a scene when the officiating Minister asked if there is anyone who is against the marriage. I got my hopes up for nothing, how sad (or not).

'Now, let's go to the wedding vows. Bride and Groom, please face each other and state your vows. Jason can go first' The Minister said.

'erm.. *coughs* Well, it's obvious that I'm nervous. heh.' Jason said.

I'm trying so hard not to laugh. He looked stupid (and cute. sorry.)

I was waiting for him to pull out a piece of paper and start reading his vows but I was surprised that he resumed talking instead.

'When I saw you 15 years ago, You looked very smart. So, I thought to myself: 'I should be friends with her. She can make my assignments when I can't do it anymore'

The crowd laughed.

'Surprisingly, I get to keep you as a friend. But you didn't make my assignments though.' Jason smiled.

'We've been friends for a long time, Kree. The words 'Grateful' and 'Happy' are not enough to describe what I feel right now. You've saved me multiple times and for that I will always be grateful. I promise to make you smile when you're about to cry and cook you food when you are hungry.' Jason eyes are tearing up.

'Cheers to more getaways and rooftop sessions with you. To the most beautiful girl in the world, take this vow as a sign of my love and promise that this marriage would be bounded by happiness and booze, of course.' Jason laughed.

The whole crowd can't help but laugh with him.

And with the laughter of everyone, Jason's vow is finished.

It was beautiful, it is... believe me. Everything was true, but I was really expecting those 3 words. I guess you can't really force people to say what they dont feel, huh?

The Minister looked at me. I guess it's my turn now. I wrote my wedding vows and was planning to read it. Then, I thought to myself...

[If I don't say what I fell right now, I might not have another chance to do it.]

so, I didn't pullout the paper and took a deep breath...

'I have always prayed for your heart, Jason.'
