It was a beautiful day at Neverland, not a cloud in the sky as the late May temperatures began to become warmer. A soft breeze made its way through the trees, the grass ebbing and flowing like the tide, sparkling with beads of leftover morning dew.

An archway decorated in the purest of white roses and baby's breath was set up beside the carousel.

Michael and Sarah had decided to have a private ceremony on this beautiful and glorious spring day.

He stood nervously at the end of the pathway, fingers fidgeting along the hem of his jacket. The soft black material appeared to shimmer in the sunlight, catching the silver buttons just right. His hair was shorter now, the ebony curls replaced with soft waves. His eyes were bright and filled with love and curiosity. The gold chain Sarah gifted him hung loose around his neck.

As Sarah came into view— he gasped.

Dressed in a white and flowing gown, the material draped around her bump in the most perfect way. Even carrying their child she looked beautiful no matter the day. Her hair was pulled back in a French braid, a few strands falling freely around her face.

She was the absolute vision of heaven in Michael's eyes.

As she met him under the archway, eyes glimmering under the veil, all Sarah could do was smile.

This was it. The beginning of their forever.

"Are we ready to begin, Mr. Jackson?"

He slowly nodded, "Yes."

"Alright," Pastor Miller smiled, adjusting his glasses. "We are gathered here today to witness the union of this man and woman in holy matrimony. To join them forevermore until death do they part."

Michael held her hands tenderly, not once leaving her eyes. "This is it."

"Do either of you have any vows of which you would like to speak of beforehand?"

Michael nodded and pulled a paper from his pocket. "I do, sir."

Once more the pastor smiled, his eyes twinkling.

"Sarah, ever since you walked into my life, I haven't been the same. I'm now a changed man, with a different view of the world, a new outlook on life and all its infinite possibilities. On that fateful day, God granted my wish of having a woman with nothing but love to give, a woman who would love me for who I am as a person."

His eyes began to well with tears as he continued.

"You've done more than see past the superstar, you've seen straight into the depths of my heart and soul despite everything that's happened in my life. You will never know just how grateful I am to that."

Sarah began to weep, the bouquet of flowers in her hands began to tremble under her touch.

"On this day and forevermore, please know just how much I love and cherish your presence, and how honored I am to be your husband. I will always love you more."

The air became still as Michael finished, taking her hands into his once more with a deep sigh and a bright smile upon his features.

"Sarah, do you have any vows, darling?" Pastor Miller asked.

"Yes, I do."

Taking a deep and steadying breath, she gazed up into Michael's beautiful brown eyes.

"Michael, I've never met anyone like you. I truly never thought to ever meet you. The day we met will forever be the best day of my life. You've shown me so much over such a short period of time, never have I felt so appreciated and loved in all my life."
