1 week to the wedding ~
I finally had my flowers & shoes. My gorgeous dress was fitted perfectly as I had actually lost 5 pounds in the days leading up to the wedding. My amazing fiancée was ready as well with his tuxedo and his best man. We both were going to have one person stand up for us at the wedding ceremony. We were not having family there so we each picked a close friend to be there to watch us.
Three days to the wedding we all flew down with our things to Costa Rica.
Two days before the wedding Ryan & I had gone on one adventure prior to our ceremony. Then after our wedding we would go on so many more.
The day before our wedding I was in a room with Kirsten & Harper. Ryan was with Brandon.
By this time Harper knew Ryan's name & said "Wyan wing."
I said "Yes Uncle Ryan gave me this ring."
Kirsten "It took her a while but she got his name."
I said "I can tell. She is so cute."
Kirsten "So when are the two of you going to have one?"
I said "When we start trying."
Kirsten "So tomorrow evening then?"
I said "Probably."
We stayed up until 12:30 am talking about our loves & Harper.
In the morning I woke up got my hair & make up done. Then I put on my dress. I was walked to a car, and driven to a path. I realized I was on the path leading to the same waterfall he had met me exactly one year earlier.
I heard music play as I was led down the path to my fiancé as he & Brandon waited for Kirsten and I.
The officiant said "Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here today in the presence of these witnesses, to join Ryan Jacob Paevey and Nicole Lee in matrimony, which is commended to be honorable among all men; and therefore is not by any to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly, but reverently, discreetly, advisedly and solemnly. Into this holy estate these two persons present now come to be joined. If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together, let them speak now or forever hold their peace.
Vows ~
Officiant "Ryan has chosen to write his own vows."
Ryan "Nicole when I met you hear in this spot one year ago I never knew how my life would change. I live my life one adventure at a time, but didn't expect to have such an amazing woman be part of it. My life will never be the same now that you are a part of it. I will spend every moment of my life making sure you know how much I appreciate you. I promise to love you a little more each passing day. I vow to be loyal, passionate, adventurous, and loving to you as long as I live."
Officiant "Nicole has written her own vows."
I spoke "When I came here a year ago, all I expected was an adventure on my own in a beautiful country. I never expected meeting such an amazing man. I loved you as soon as we spoke and never expected to fall so hard. The past year has been so amazing and full of ups and downs but I have gotten closer to a new friend. I promise to love you more each day as I get to know you even better. I want to start a family with you. I vow to be loving, passionate, adventurous, loyal and sweet to you as long as I live."
Officiant "May we have the rings please?"
Kirsten & Brandon hand us our rings.
Officiant "Ryan repeat after me. I Ryan give you Nicole this ring as an eternal symbol of my love and commitment to you."
Ryan repeated the officiant and then he said the same for me.
I said "I Nicole give you Ryan this ring as an eternal symbol of my love and commitment to you."
Since we were in Costa Rica the officiant had a table with colored sand.
Officiant "May you each pour a different color blending them together as your love for each other blends."
I poured an aqua color as he poured a white and then we both poured a blue. We watched the layers of sand mix together in a beautiful swirl pattern.
Officiant "By the power vested in me by the nation of Costa Rica I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss you bride."
Ryan wrapped his arms around me pulling me close for a sweet passionate kiss.
Officiant "I present to you Mr. & Mrs. Ryan Paevey."
Harper clapped as she saw us get married and be official. Brandon and Kirsten just looked at each other with love as we kissed again. Suddenly I heard music playing. I had no clue what was going on. I heard a voice wondering if someone was playing a cd.
I heard it grow closer to see that Maroon 5 was crashing my wedding "You're sugar yes please won't you come and put it down on me. I'm right here what I need little love a little sympathy yeah you show me good loving make it alright need a little sweetness in my life."
As soon as they were done playing "Sugar" Adam Levine gave me a hug & asked "What is your twitter so I can follow you?"
I said "" and smiled.
Ryan "Well that was a surprise. That I had nothing to do with."
Kirsten "I may have talked them into it."
I said "Thanks for possibly having something to do with that little wedding crasher moment."
Kirsten "No problem. I'm just glad it worked out."
Ryan "Well it's been fun having you three here with us but it's time for my wife and I to begin our honeymoon."
Brandon "I understand man. We will get out of your way as soon as Harper gives you one last hug."
Harper hugged her uncle and I goodbye as they left.
Ryan led me down the path in his arms carrying me to the road. We got in a car and drove down the road to Rancho Pacifico resort.
The taxi driver said quietly "Your bags are already in your room."
Ryan tipped the man and he carried me out of the car into our room.
He set me down undoing my gown letting it fall to the ground. His strong arms were wrapped around my by body covered only in a white corset and thigh high stockings.
I looked into his eyes with so much love that I felt the urge to remove his tuxedo. Both in only underwear we wrapped each other in a warm embrace passionately kissing the other. Every time our lips parted it left a burning trail of fire between us. As he made love to me for the first time all I could was just get lost in his touch as his hands traveled my body. Get lost as I surrendered to his lips as he kissed me from head to toe. As new as everything was to me, my body was fully his to enjoy at this moment and I just wanted more. With every thrust my body became his and his became mine. Our love was so intense that I felt the heights of satisfaction rivaled the 12,533 feet (3,820 m) Cerro Chirripó. We finally ended our first time with an intense exchange of passion & culmination of love.
