Alexander's POV
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the presence of these witnesses, to join Alexander and Scarlet in matrimony commended to be honorable among all; and therefore is not to be entered into lightly but reverently, passionately, lovingly and solemnly. Into this- 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." The officiant said facing towards the crowd gathered in the church to be part of the joyous ceremony.
Only close friends, relatives were invited and family members were present. The whole world was going crazy about our marriage news and media crew were broadcasting as much details as possible. But they have no access inside the church and they were strictly controlled by my team. Guards were stationed outside and around the whole area with the help of Baxter's team, securities arranged were pretty tight. My best men are Ray, Ashton, Maximo, Lorenz, Derek and Baxter. James Knight was also invited along with his family and a few others too. Scarlet's Bridesmaids consisted of Sera, Ava Green, Taylor, Estelle, Nell Lawrence and Bia. Ethan and Emily is the Ring and Flower bearers.
The officiant continued saying with the prayer while I was admiring my girl in the bridal attire. She is so damn beautiful in white and I feel like the luckiest person on earth today. When she first stepped inside the church along with Mr. Brad Hope(Taylor's dad), it was like time stopped and an angel is entering into my life. When her hand was given onto mine I could clearly feel that this is it, everything is perfect. She is the one and everything that happened previously with me was for a reason. She is my happiness and she will make my life colorful.
It was time for us to say our vows so we turned towards each other, at that moment she smiled and I was speechless. But then I regained myself and spoke out the words very sincerely while looking into her blue eyes.
"Scarlet, you are the love of my life and you make me happier than I could ever imagine and more loved than I ever thought possible.....
I will always be there for you when you need me. I will always protect you from danger and will never hurt you by any means. I will try to be less possessive over you but you know how I am, I love you.
I want to be the reason for your smiles and want to make you happy to the core. I want to live my life with you forever and capture all the moments to eternity. You are my world and always will be. You are irreplaceable.
Dove,
On this day,
I promise you that I will walk with you,
Hand in hand,
Where ever our journey leads us.
I promise to help shoulder our challenges, for there is nothing we cannot face if we stand together.
I promise to hold your hand every night and to never let us lose our spark.
Lastly, I promise to you perfect love and perfect trust,
For one lifetime with you could never be enough. We are equal in all things and no matter what, you are Mine Forever."
I gently squeezed her hands and then placed my hands on her cheeks to wipe away the tears cascading down. The words were reciprocated through emotions by her as she was smiling as well as crying. I gave a feather light kiss on her forehead to calm her down.
"Alexander, I never imagined that I will find love in such a way and I will be so blessed.
You always tried to make things work between us and supported me during my worst times. You take care of me when I am sick and hold me in your arms when I'm low. You love me to the core and I love you too.
I believe in you, the person you will grow to be and the couple we will be together but there is still a part of me today that cannot believe that I'm the one who gets to marry you.
Alexander,
On this day,
I give you my promise,
That I will walk hand in hand wherever our journey leads us,
Living, learning and loving together.
I promise to be your companion, your partner in parenthood and your ally in conflict.
I promise to help shoulder our challenges, for there is nothing we cannot face if we stand together.
Lastly, I promise to you perfect love and perfect trust,
For one lifetime with you could never be enough. We are equal in all things and no matter what.
I see these vows not as promises but as privileges: I get to laugh with you and cry with you; care for you and share with you. I get to run with you and walk with you; build with you and live with you.
As from now, you are Mine Forever."
She said her vows with sincerity and love. I couldn't take my eyes off her the whole time and then we wore the wedding rings.
The officiant said,
"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride."
That was it! I pulled her towards me gently and placed my lips onto her soft ones. At first I heard the clapping and cheering sounds from the crowed but the moment I kissed her the sound was a mute. I kissed her slowly, gently and filled with intense love. It meant that we are one now. I'm yours and you are mine.
All our family and friends as well as all the people gathered were happy and cheering us all throughout the rest of the ceremony. We moved out to click pictures and to acknowledge the media crew.
"Sir, Ma'am please.......just a few questions. Congratulations to both of you. Ma'am you look absolutely gorgeous. Would you please tell us what are your future plans? Are you still going to work as Mr. Alexander Pearce secretary? We all want to know about it." One of them asked.
"Well, firstly I would like to thank you all for your blessings and support. Thank you for showering us with loads of messages and prayers. We are yet to discuss about our future plans and honeymoon plans. But really appreciate if you all give us some space and time. We wish to have privacy and I am very protective when it comes to my family. We want to live happily and in peace." I replied as I knew Scarlet is not comfortable being interviewed at all.
"Sir, How are you feeling right now and what is it that you like the most about your wife?" Another person asked.
Looking at my wife I replied,
"I feel blessed to have a beautiful wife and I am the happiest man on the planet right now. I love her. I love you Dove." Holding her in my arms I kissed on her cheek.
"I love you too." She replied with a smile and blushed.
"Aww, you two are an adorable couple right now and the buzz is that your names have come up as the most powerful couple in USA and people are looking up to you as an example of true love. What do you want to say about that?"
"Oh, thank you.....I am out of words right now. A lot is going on and it's absolutely crazy. But we will try our best to be a good example of true love and hold each other even in bad times."
"Ma'am, there are speculations that you have married Mr. Alexander Pearce for money, to be rich and famous, to acquire attention and status. What do you want to say about that?"
"That is absolute bullshit. She is not a person who wants to gain attention or climb the social ladder like few other people. She is different and someone who is very hardworking. She has a kind heart and caring nature which you will find rarely in today's world." I said truthfully but I knew they would ask this question.
"Ma'am would you like to say something about that or any message?" the reporter asked her.
"I love Alexander and there is nothing that is precious compared to him. No money can buy love and no status can be compared to the happiness I have right now being his." Scarlet replied with a genuine smile and that statement made a big headline. All of the reporters were blown away with her answer and they wanted to hear more from her, from us. But we had to move on to the next occasion. I told the media about giving an exclusive interview later after checking my schedules and dates. So they were quite happy with the news.
Later on, we clicked a lot of pictures together and even with our family, friends and important people. The celebrations continued with a happening party and the list of guest were quite long. Mrs. Madeleine was equally involved in our celebrations. She arranged the whole party for us in an open area and surprised us with beautiful dance moves on the dance floor. The outdoor decorations were stunning and lighted up.
Mom and Dad was the most happiest of all while they adored my wife. After our first couple dance Scarlet was dragged away from me by Taylor and Sera. They were dancing togther while Estelle came towards me and said,
"I am proud of you Alex. You've chosen the right partner and happy for you both."
I smiled and said the words she once told me,
"You have to keep your heart as well as eyes open. You never know, maybe she already appeared before you. But you missed to see her only because you have kept a big lock on your heart and a blindfold on your eyes."
She looked confused. "What?"
"Those were your were words and it really helped me."
"Well...." She remembered and smiled at me and gestured me to continue and I did.
" You were right I had a big lock on my heart and eyes. The only thing I focused was work. But then out of nowhere she appeared but I was not blindfolded. Instead I saw that she held the key to my heart. All I had to do was show her my heart to unlock it and I did. She unlocked it and now she is Mine Forever."
Estelle hugged me and said,
"Only the right ones hold that key of happiness and you two will go through alot of adventures in life. So are you ready for it?"
"Absolutely.....yes!" We laughed and then was joined by others.
I was beyond happy and my family could see it too.
Once again Scarlet was in my arms and all I want right now is to love her and love her and love her.
"I love you." She wisphered into my ears and kissed me intensely which gave a spark of feelings inside me while fireworks were going on as a beautiful effect up on the sky. The fireworks and lights made the sky a kaleidoscope of colour.
Her smiling face was the most captivating moment that got engraved into my memory.
A picture perfect moment.
"I love you too scarlet." I wisphered back with a fiery, passionate kiss.
~THE END~
