I offered him a friendly nod. This is the day I've been looking forward to since Bucky proposed to me. It's hard for me to comprehend that the day has actually arrived. I'm looking forward to marrying Bucky. Alex encircled our elbows with his arms. My heart began racing a mile a minute as I noticed everyone's eyes on me as we turned to the route going to the aisle, staring at my soon to be husband. As I came down the aisle, all eyes would be on me, and that alone made me uneasy.
Alex burst out laughing. When I married Chloe, I was just as anxious as you were. "I'm sure you'll be ok." He reassured me that "take a deep breath and turn to face the guy who will become your husband. Concentrate only on him. It won't be long until you realize it's just the two of you. Nobody else is important." I followed Alex's advice and focused my gaze on Bucky. My kid was waving at me and saying at the top of his lungs, "you look like a princess, mum!" I was about to cry, but I didn't want to squander Chloe's efforts. Photographs were being taken by the home staff. I smiled at the visitors before returning my gaze to the road ahead. I got a little too near this time. Bucky Barnes, my future husband, my first and last, was plainly visible to me. The love of my life the guy I'm going to spend the rest of my life with his entrancing ocean blue gaze never strayed from mine. He had a big grin on his face. I could see he was anxious as well. Everything appears to be getting a bit better, and my anxiousness is slowly dissipating. To me, all the visitors gat hazy at the same time. Bucky was the only thing I could see. My heart, my love, was in his hands. He's grinning at me. I returned the grin. While staring at me, I saw a tear escaping his eye. Suddenly, images of the first day we met flashed through my mind. Reminding me of how mesmerized I was by him, how everything appeared to fall into place, and, lastly, how I waited for this guy, even without realizing it. This guy, who makes me need his touch. Who knows where to touch me. Who is never selfish and always respects my emotions, this man, who will soon learn we are expecting our second child after this wedding. I choose to tell him I was pregnant on our wedding day when I found out. Through thick and thin, I shall adore this guy for the rest of my life.
"Good luck, sis," Alex embrace me as we walked down the aisle. I grinned and rubbed the corner of me eye with my finger to keep tears from spilling. Alex grinned as he put my hand on Bucky's. "Take good care of her. She's precious," he continued as he shifted his look to Bucky. He stated this as he walked over to sit next to Chloe and Mia, my goddaughter. With grins on our faces, Bucky and I exchanged glances, neither of us saying anything. We shifted our gaze to the priest.
Hé motioned for our visitors to take their seats by looking ahead. The priest grinned as he gazed down at us.
"We have met here today, friends and family, to witness the marriage of James Buchanan Barnes and Gabriella Parker. As we see this union, we also witness the formation of a new tie and a new family, one that will definitely encompass all of those here." As the priest spoke about our obligations as a couple, I stood there with Bucky, holding hands. I felt a bit overwhelmed as I listened to the priest, and Bucky did as well. He calmed me down by squeezing my hands, and it worked.
We turned to face each other when it was time to exchange vows. We used the customary vows. "Do you James Buchanan Barnes, accept Gabriella Parker to be your legally married wife. Pledging to love and cherish her though joy and sorrow, illness and health, and whatever trails you may encounter, for as long as you both live?"
"I do," Bucky said without hesitation.
He turned to face me and said the same thing again. "Do you Gabriella Parker, accept James Buchanan Barnes to be your legally married spouse. Pledging to love and cherish her though joy and sorrow, illness and health, and whatever trails you may encounter, for as long as you both live?"
"I do," I grinned as I glanced at Bucky, my soul.
Xander, my son, brought the rings for us to exchange. Bucky took my hands and said, "I James Buchanan Barnes present you Gabriella Parker. I chuckled now Barnes the ring as an enduring sign of my love and dedication to you," and the he murmured, "I love you Mrs Barnes." My face transformed like a tomato owing to Chloe's make-up. I was simply aware of the heat. No one seemed to notice. As he pressed the ring on my little finger, shivers ran through to my whole body. He kissed my hand after that. Xander approached me and presented the ring to me. Bucky did the same thing I did and reached his hand out. The guy was impatient for me to put the ring on his finger. His hand was twirling around. I wanted to tease him, but I realized that there were other people there. I grabbed his hand in mine and gently pressed my finger on the tip of his ring finger. Gabriella Parker presents the ring to James Buchanan Barnes as an eternal symbol of her love and commitment to him.
The priest smiled at us and then addressed the guests, saying. "If anyone has an objection to the marriage, speak now or forever remain silent."
My heart began to beat quite quickly at that point. I used what power I had left to survey the surroundings. Sandra, the drama queen, is the single person who has the power to ruin everything for me. Then, phew!
"I thus declare you husband and wife, using the authority bestowed upon me by the heavenly spirit and the state of New York City. You may now kiss the bride."
Bucky had been anticipating this moment. He grabbed my lips right away. I attempted to push him away, reminding him that the guests were looking, but he was chomping on my lips right in front of them. We broke the kiss after a time. My cheeks were flushed. My discomfort was not reflected in my make-up.
"Do you think it's too hot, Mrs Barnes?" He inquired. I attempted to speak, but he grabbed my lips again in front of the through and carried me in bridal manner.
