Regrets

Chapter Eighteen: A Night Of Romance

Okay, I'm not gonna lie. This chapter is mostly, completely dirty. Not a little dirty but full on. It's just them getting married and the wedding night. I didn't want to post this separately as rated r. You won't loose any of the plot if you don't read it because it's short and sweet but holds nothing vital to the story. I know that weddings don't exactly work the way I'm going to write it but I've never been to one or had one so forgive any mistakes. I also kinda cheated and skipped some parts but keep in mind that this is a night ceremony done without anyone knowing and it had to be rushed. I know, I did edit out the vows but if anyone asks me, I will put them in the chapter at a later date. They are very sweet if I do say so myself, some of my best writing. Enjoy

Marriage

I was a ball of nervous keyed up energy. I was getting married! I mean, in one short moment, I was going to become Rey's wife. I could just squeal in excitement and jump like an overly excited girl. I had on the dress and earrings as per Rey's request. We were in his car, driving to the church. He asked his uncle to marry us and he said he would. It was late, around ten, and I had slept the day away. I wanted to be alert to marry Rey and of course, for what came after. We came to a stop outside the intimidating church. It was huge

“Ready?” Rey asked me. I nodded and got out of the car. He met me at the front of the car and held both my hands. His eyes looked kinda sad. I wondered why. It was such a happy thing, why would he be upset?

“I'm sorry I can't give you a real wedding” he said. I didn't answer, too shocked.

“I mean, I always wanted to marry you and I always thought we'd have the hundred guests and the huge cake with the tiny bride and groom on top. I can't tell you how much I wanted that for you and now I feel inadequate that I can't give you that -” I interrupted him with a kiss. He responded instantly, pulling me closer.

“I love you. You can never be inadequate to me. I want to be married to you and I honestly don't care about a huge party and cake” I said, staring into his eyes. He nodded but he didn't look convinced. I didn't have time to convince him right now. I would do it later. I tugged his hand until he followed me into the church.

It was lit with only candles, very romantic but I'm sure it was done for another purpose. The priest was standing behind the alter, doing something we couldn't see. Rey walked up to him and poked his back. The man jumped and grabbed his heart as if having a heart attack. He turned to Rey

“Jesus Christ! Don't scare me like that, Rey! You nearly killed me!” he said, drama oozing from every word he said. I started to smile. He seemed like a nice guy.

“Oh, who do we have here? Your fiancee?” he directed his questions at Rey and he took me by the hands, “Well, let's have a look at you” he said enthusiastically. He twirled me and hugged me warmly.

“Rey made an excellent choice with you. You look amazing” he told me, smiling again. I gave him a grin in return.

“Yep, she's a keeper” he announced, “Which is why we are here today” he gave me one last squeeze and let me go and stand by Rey.

“I have the rings right here” he said, grabbing a small purple bag. He placed us in front of the alter and put us at an angle.

“Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate the love between this man and this woman... if anyone objects, speak now or forever hold your peace....” I hardly paid attention to what he said, too busy staring at the man in front of me.

“Do you, Rey Lara take this woman as your lawfully wedded wife, in sickness and in health for as long as you both shall live?” he said. My brain snapped back online.
