epilogue

once the flower girls made it to the end of the isle, angela joined the bridal party line up and waited for the big moment. the music changed slightly, signaling that the bride was about to make her big enterance. 

shayne could feel tears welling up in his eyes as brooklyn became visible. she was waking down the isle with her mother, ellie, making eye contact with shayne. she could tell that he was tearing up, which made the possibility of her eyes being dry before she made it to the end of the isle vanish. 

"you cleaned up nice." ellie joked as she gave shayne a hug. 

shayne laughed. "thank you." 

ellie quickly rubbed his arm and then sat down in the front row of seats. shayne grabbed brooklyn's hand and smiled. 

brooklyn grinned. "let's do this."

"hello everybody and thank you for joining us to celebrate brooklyn and shayne." amanda began once the guests sat down. "i can't even begin to express how honored i am to be up here, marrying two of the best people i know." 

brooklyn and shayne both smiled at amanda and she continued. "watching these two fall in love over the past two years has been such an amazing experience and i know this next chapter will be even better which is why i will jump right in to getting them married." 

brooklyn lightly laughed as she looked into shayne's eyes. excitement and love was written all over his face as amanda began to speak again. 

"do you, brooklyn, take shayne to be your lawfully wedded husband? to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and bad, for richer or poorer, as long as you both shall live?" 

brooklyn smiled. "i do." 

amanda smiled, trying to contain her excitement. "and, do you, shayne, take brooklyn to be your lawfully wedded wife? to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and bad, for richer or poorer, for as long as you both shall live?" 

"i do." shayne grinned. 

amanda turned and damien handed her the rings. she placed shayne's ring in brooklyn's hand and brooklyn's ring in shayne's hand. 

"now you may exchange your vows." she said. 

courtney handed brooklyn a folded piece of paper and she took a deep breath. "shayne, when i met you for the first time, it was in passing. i was picking amanda up from work so we could go out for dinner and you were walking to your car as i was walking in. we said hi and went the opposite ways, truly nothing revolutionary. i remember thinking that you were quite cute but never really thought about it again until a few years later when amanda wanted to set us up. i never thought that one small interaction would eventually lead me to wearing a pretty dress in front of our friends and family, fighting back tears every time we make eye contact." 

brooklyn paused as light laughter came from the guests. "but here we are, vowing to spend the rest of our lives together. oh, speaking of vows, i should probably mention some in this." she joked. 

shayne laughed and brooklyn continued. "i vow to love you for life and whatever's after that. i vow to continue building this awesome life with you and i vow to listen to you talk about books you've read even if i haven't. i can't wait to be the coolest married couple in the world. i love you." brooklyn slid shayne's wedding band onto his ring finger with a smile.
