Michael's Pov:

I paced back and forth for the 50th time in 5 minutes. I looked at my watch then paced again. 

The wedding starts in less then 30 minutes but time just couldn't move fast enough for me.

Guests were already here and the groomsmen were assembled and blah blah. 

I just want to hear the words you may kiss your bride... Again.

 It'll be even better this time because everyone important to us is here to see me claim my beautiful bride.

"Dude, Will you take a freakin zanex or paxil or something because you're starting to freak people out! Fuck bro, just breath. You're already married so it's a little late to be getting cold feet!" Skip teased while he yanked me to a stop and I rolled my eyes.

"I'm not getting cold feet you idiot. I just wish it was already time to start. Are you getting cold feet? Cause you know if you ditch Tina at the alter Jems will murder you and since she's my wife I'd have to help hide your body and mom would be pissed and then I wouldn't be her favorite son anymore.... So for everyone's sake I hope you're not bitching up." I ribbed back.

He laughed. "Pshh somebody lied to you baby brother. I'm soooo the favorite child and I don't have a bitch bone in my body! Seriously though why are you being weird? Well more weird then you usually are. Let me guess, you're butt-hurt cause muffin butt stuck to the whole 'no sex the night before the wedding' rule. Awe is Mikey havin Jemma withdraw?"

"No dipshit and we are not discussing my sex life. That's just weird. I mean you don't hear me joking about yours and Tina's sex life and will you stop callin Jems muffin butt. I'd hate to have to kick your ass 10 minutes before you say I do. Tina might get pissed if you're sporting a busted lip and black eye in all the wedding photos." I said mock punching his arm making him laugh.

He nodded his head and spoke in his serious tone. "Yeah bro then Tina would get Muffin Butt pissed at you and you'd get an ass whoopin too. I think it's a safer all around if ya just learn to live with the adorable nick name I gave her. On a side note, it would sound really skeezy if you joked about me and Tina doing the dirty. Hello she's your student. Jeeze"

He mock punched me then slung his arm over my shoulder to pose for a picture. "Seriously though, you good?"

I smiled at his idiotic attempt at concern. " Yeah, I'm just ready to make it official. Like, for people to actually know that I love that amazing woman and unbelievably she loves me enough to be my wife. All these months of hiding and having to act like she was just an ordinary student have worn really thin. It makes me feel like it was a dirty secret or something to be ashamed of. When it's neither of those things. Ughh never-mind I sound like a chick right now and if Jems heard, I'd never hear the end of this."

"I get what you're saying. It'll feel more real because now you don't have to hide the fact that she's your wife. Things me and Tina take for granted y'all haven't really gotten to do. At least not without an ass load of complications. But just so you know, those of us that knew about y'all and got to see y'alls relationship progress never once thought it was anything other that what it is. Two people truly in love and lucky as hell to have overcome so many obstacles both individually and together. So take a breath and smile because the ceremony is starting."

The back doors opened and the bridal party started to march in. We straightened and finally she came into view.

 I felt my mouth drop and my brain refused to let my eyes blink. I didn't want to miss a second of this. Jemma looked beyond beautiful. 

I've never seen a more perfect sight in my life. 

She smiled and then winked and I finally took my first breath since I saw her walk in the door.

"You may now kiss your bride" Better words had never been uttered. I leaned down and kissed her softly. "Hello Mrs. Jenkins" I whispered against her lips.

"Oh I think you can do better then that Mr. Jenkins. I always pictured my wedding kiss leaving me breathless and blushing" She nipped my lower lip and I felt my blood heat up.

"Oh, Mrs. Jenkins I'll have you breathless and blushing in no time"

I gathered her in my arms and lifted her up to my height. The kiss started slow and as soon as she slid her tongue along mine I went in for the kill.

The priest cleared his throat loudly and I came back to the here and know.

Jems was indeed breathless and blushing and also wrapped around me like we were about 2 seconds from the consummation of our marriage.

I rested my forehead to hers. "How was that Mrs. Jenkins?" I asked smugly

She giggled and fanned herself. "Ehh I've had better, the last time I got married my groom went all out." She teased pulling back and hiding her face because everyone was cat calling and whistling. 

Even Skip and Tina we're grinning at us. 

The reception began and we danced our first dance to One and Only by Adele. Jems picked it because it was the song I sang to her at the beginning of our relationship and she thought it fit us.

The father daughter dance was of course tricky because Tom and Danny both wanted their dance. Plus Tina's still on the outs with her family. So we did two and Jems and Tina shared and switched off Jems dads.

After that I'm not going to even lie, I hogged Jems. 

We danced almost every dance together. For the first time since we got together we didn't have to hide or lie. We got to be just a normal couple in love. 

This one night made up for the months of sneaking around.

"Final dance of the night" The dj called. Thousand Years by Christina Perri started.

"You look beautiful, Love."

She smiled and rested her head on my shoulder. "Tonight was worth it all wasn't it?" She murmured softly.

I kissed her hair and held her a little closer. "I was thinking the same thing earlier. For some reason it just feels more official now doesn't it? Maybe because Edward wasn't the one officiating it."

She rolled her eyes but grinned. "Yeah I'm sure you hated it. Even though you can clearly see your cheesy about to split your cheeks smile in all the pictures."

I laughed and nodded. "Absolutely. It was pure torture. I'm surprised I survived all the glitter" I whined.

She giggled and as usual I felt like the king of the world because I can make this incredible woman laugh.

"I think it feels this way because everyone we care about is here to share this with us. Ya know, no more hiding. Just you and me from here on out." I said seriously as I led her from the dance floor to our family to say goodnight.

After all the hugs and kisses were exchanged we rode the elevator to our suite.

"Are you sure you want to wait to go on our honeymoon? Sullivan already said I could take the week off. Spring break is still over a month away."

"Well we've technically been married since Thanksgiving and haven't had one yet so what's another 6 weeks? Besides we still have this weekend to celebrate and then all week we'll have the house to ourselves since Skip and Tina are going away." She shrugged.

"Yeah but we could take this week as our honeymoon and still go somewhere for spring break. Seriously Jems I just want you to be happy."

She kissed my lips softly then blew a raspberry on them.

"I am happy, very happy. You got your casts off this morning and we're officially "publicly" married and now you are sporting that very nice band around your ring finger that says 'Back off skanks. I'm private property.' Honestly I just want to spend the next few days bumming it out with my hot husband. Plus this totally guarantees you're gonna go all out and plan a kick ass honeymoon. Ya know extra time to really think about where you're gonna take me and how much you wanna spoil your awesomely amazing super hot wife!"

"I already know where I'm taking you and I told you I'm not changing my mind. It's gonna stay a surprise and you're going to love it. I promise. But if you just wanna spend the weekend in bed I'm totally happy to accommodate you. In fact I'm looking forward to it!" I said swooping her in my arms to carry her across the threshold of our room.

"MMmm well I guess you better get started. I'm so wound up from today that I don't think I'll be able to go to bed. Unless you can come up with something to tire me out and keep me exhausted for the next three days." She purred nibbling on my neck.

"Sweetheart, you have no idea how much I plan on enjoying, keeping you too tired to leave our bed."
