SHIVERS: Don't tell your mother (Book One)

chapter eighteen: here comes the groom

I kissed jakob one more time before Katelynn grabs me and pulls me into a tent “listen it is bad luck for the groom to see his bride before the wedding” she said fixing my black bow tie and take more gel to slick back my hair.
    I groaned “you realize none of that is true right” I said, she stopped and grabbed my face in her hands “as long as I’m here. It is” she said going back to patting off any dirt of fuzz on my suit.
   I sighed and put down my favorite book while waiting for the wedding to start and looked at my ring before Katelynn ran in and grabbed me up before handing me a bouquet and then pushing me out into the line of brides maids and best men, my mother joined me by my sighed and kissed my cheek. 
    “I’m so happy for you” she said as I rested my hand into the crook of her elbow, the music started playing and the line started moving. As soon as my mother and I started walking my mom burst into tears and I smiled shyly before I walked up to the altar. 
      Jakob locked eyes with me and smirked, his dimples showing and I blushed before he took my hands in his and the plaster started speaking, the sunlight blinding me I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
”if. therefore, it be your desire to be united in this holy bond, will you signify that fact by joining your right hands.” 
   Jakob let go of my left hand and we stood there looking into each other’s eyes, I blushed instantly. 
​​​​​​​    “Do you Jakob Rodriguez, take this man whose hand you now hold, to be your true and wedded husband; and do you solemnly promise before god and these witnesses to LOVE, CHERISH, HONOR, AND PROTECT HIM: to forsake all others for his sake; to cleave unto him, and only him, until death shall you part?” The pastor said. 
   “I do” jakob said.
the pastor looked to me “do you Alexander Martinez, take this man who now holds your hand, to be your true and wedded husband; and  do you solemnly promise before god and these witnesses to LOVE, CHERISH, HOMOR, AND PROTECT HIM, to forsake all others for his sake; to cleave unto him and him only, and him forever until death shall you part?” 
    “I do” I said, Jakob’s smile grew bigger and the pastor looked back to him.
”repeat after me. I, Jakob Rodriguez, take thee, Alexander Martinez to be my wedded husband...to have and to hold...from this day forward...for better or worse...for richer, for poorer...in sickness and in health...till death do us part...and thereto I plight my troth” jakob and the pastor said in union.
   The pastor turned to me again “repeat after me. I, Alexander Martinez, take thee, Jakob Rodriguez to be my wedded husband...to have and to hold...from this day forward...for better or worse...for richer, for poorer...in sickness and in health...till death do us part..and thereto I plight my troth” the pastor and I said in union. 

    Jakob held my hand like that for a bit until my little cousin George came out with the rings and handed Jakob and I our separate rings. 
    The pastor turned to jakob “what pledge do you give to Alexander?” He said. 
“A ring” jakob replied placing my ring on my finger “jakob Rodriguez, as you place this ring on Alexander please repeat after me. With this ring I thee wed; and with all my worldly goods,I thee endow...” they said in union.
  The pastor looked at me once again a slight smile on his face “Alexander what pledge do you give jakob?” He asked, I smiled “a ring” I replied slipping it onto Jakob’s finger. 
   “And this ring, do you give to him as a sign and seal of endless affection with which  you will cherish him, and the unbroken fidelity with which you will perform ow the vows of a husband? Do you?” He said
  “I do” I replied.
”Alexander, as you place this ring on Jakob’s finger, please repeat after me, with this ring I thee wed; and with all my worldly goods, I thee endow..” the pastor and I said in union. 
     “May I present to you, Mr. and Mrs. Rodriguez! You may now kiss the bride” the pastor said before jakob grabbed me by the waist and tipped me over. “A little impatient are we” I whispered, he chuckled and kissed me deeply.
