"Where are the rings?" she asks after a moment of silence

"Shit the rings.." Archie rubs his chin a clear display of nervousness "Father.." he turns to the priest hoping for a save making Philomena laughs

"We can get that after we say our I do's" Archie recoils in shock before pulling her into his arms joyously

"Is that a yes"

"Yess Archie that is a yes" he twirls her around as the both laugh

Archibald stops breathing watching her walk the empty aisle to him. His heart beats against his chest trying to escape its cages to reach her. If he could have her sown into him he would. He craved her like water to a thirsty man on a desert.

He steps down the platform to help extending his hand to help her up before whispering "perfect" teasingly into her ear

She shivers from the contact offering a smile to him as the priest begins to speak. They are both too engrossed in drinking in each other that the words of the priest fall on deaf ears

"Repeat after me son and mean it. I.." the priest nudges the grey eyed man who is currently thinking of the many ways he will rip his lover away from reality

"I Archie Wills" he says with no hesitance

"Take you..."

"Take you Philomena Kings'

"as my lawful wedded wife. To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part"

A sob breaks through her lips as she find no trace of regret, shame, or fear in his eyes. He knew what he wanted and was willing to do whatever it took to get it and right now he was getting the love of his life who still refuses to admit that she cares about him.

He lets go of one hand to wipe away the tears that have betrayed her, pulling her into his chest tightly

"Repeat after my my dear. I.."

"Philomena Kings take you Archie Wills to be m-my lawful wedded h-my-sorry husband" she exhales deeply before locking eyes with him. The world fades aways as she assures herself that she is ready to sign away her last name "To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part"

Archie has a mega watt smile on his face as they are pronounced husband and wife whilst a treacherous sob breaks through her lips. Archie pulls her into his chest again whispering sweet nothing into her ears.

"I know baby but we'll get through this together. It official now, I am your partner in crime for life through hell and back and you know i will never let you go my love. You're the only person i'll walk down the aisle for and with" he pulls her back to arms length where he can watch her now blotchy red eyes bleed "Do you regret this?" he stops breathing once those words part from his lips

Philomena takes a moment to ponder. Does she regret this? Does she regret eloping with her boyfriend of less than a year? Does she regret not having any family around or choosing this stranger over the man her mother picked for her?

Definitely not

"No I will never regret saying yes"

Archie's lips are on hers before the words are fully out drinking her in. Wounding his arms around her waist like a cage. Feeling her heart breathing through her chest to get to his as she looses herself in him.

When they pull back she now have his mega watt smile stanped on her face

"Let's go to the club cause I don't want this night to end" she says making his smile widen if that was even possible

With that the newly weds find the nearest club to waste away in. The music thumps as they enter providing Philomena's body with the rhythm it needs to moves. Her hips twist and turn as he watches in fascination wondering how he bagged such a fine chick

He notices a man drawing closer and closer to his wife making his once free mood become protective. Territorial to say the least. Without wasting time he places a hand on the strange mans shoulder getting him to turn

"Watch it" he says stepping into the mans space. The man raises his hand and turns to find another victim.

Archie pulls his wife into a punishing kiss that lets her know that she is taken along with a promise of more to come. It is past noon when they stumble their way out of another club drunk.

"Oh babe I always wanted to get a tattoo" Philomena says pointing at the tattoo shop across the club they just left

"I think we should do that when we are not drunk" he says steering her away from the shop. She breaks free running to the shop

"Come along when you're done being a punk!" she yells back before disappearing into the shop

"vous êtes chanceux j'aime votre cul fou. putain de femme!" He yells, stumbling his way inside

[You're lucky I love your crazy ass. Damn woman!]

The door swings open to reveal a tall man with tattoos on every visible part of his body. He can come across as being scary but to Mena's drunk mind, he might as well be a marshmallow as she pinches both his cheeks whilst talking to him in baby voices.

Archie chuckles at her actions and slowly peels her hands off of the man.

"Sorry she's drunk"

"I only had one shot and you had the whole bottle. If anyone is drunk it's you" Philomena grumbles out moving to play with the scary mans face again

It is well past noon when they finally make their way out of the shop and into his bed. Where they fall asleep without consummating the marriage
