Author POV

A/N: Please play the music for a better experience. You may have noticed I always used this song as a background for weddings. I just love this song! I hope you do too!

🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

One look at you
My whole life falls inline
I prayed for you
Before I called you, mine

Oh, I can't believe it's true sometimes
Oh, I can't believe it's true

🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

Gavin's heart started beating so crazy when he saw Dane coming to him with his parents. They are escorting him while he is holding his bouquet. He was mesmerized by the charm of Dane. Indeed, Dane is like a goddess in front of his eyes.

🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

I get to love you
It's the best thing that I'll ever do
I get to love you
It's a promise I'm making to you

Whatever may come to your heart, I will choose
Forever I'm yours, forever I do
I get to love you
I get to love you

🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

As Dane finally arrived at the altar, he stood next to Gavin. He held Dane's hands and faced the officiant of their wedding.

Officiant: We gather here to unite these two people in marriage. Their decision to marry has not been entered into lightly, and today, they publicly declare their private devotion to each other. The essence of this commitment is the acceptance of each other as lovers, companions, and friends. A good and balanced relationship is one in which neither person is overpowering nor absorbed by the other, one in which neither person is possessive of the other, one in which both give their love freely and without jealousy. Marriage, ideally, is a sharing of responsibilities, hopes, and dreams. It takes a special effort to grow together, survive hard times, and be loving and unselfish.

Love is patient and kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant, or rude. It does not insist on its way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends

Do you both pledge to share your lives openly with one another and to speak the truth in love? Do you promise to honor and tenderly care for one another, cherish and encourage each other, stand together through sorrows and joys, hardships and triumphs for all the days of your lives?

Gavin and Dane: We do.

Officiant: Do you pledge to share your love and the joys of your marriage with all those around you so that they may learn from your passion and be courageous to grow in their own lives?

Gavin and Dane: We do.

Officiant: May these rings be a symbol of blessing to your union. As often as
either of you looks upon these rings, may you not only be reminded of
this moment, but also of the vows you have made and the strength of
your commitment to each other.

Gavin then held Dane's hands once again and started to state his vows

Officiant: Gavin, you may now speak your vow.

🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

The way you love
It changes who I am
I am undone
I thank God once again

Oh, I can't believe it's true sometimes
Oh, I can't believe it's true

🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

Gavin: Dane, Of all the people you've met on your journey and of all the places you've been, somehow and some way, you ended up here—with me. It is the most meaningful and humbling fact that I can accept. I used to think that we met by chance, but now I know without a doubt that the universe put you in front of me because spending our lives together is what it is meant to be. Exactly, A year and seven months ago from today, I still remember the day that I've met you. You walk right past me without even looking at me, which is that time for me is shocking cause we all know that every girl and even man couldn't help but look at me" Dane and Gavin so as their guest and their family couldn't help, but to laugh so hard after hearing Gavin's remark

"I remember asking myself, 'Who is this person and how can he just walk right past by me' ever since that day, I became so curious of you. I've become obsessed, but I know in a good day. Since that day, me being able to meet and talk to you has become my life purpose. You ignored me so many times before until we became friends, then we became official, and now we are marrying each other. Meeting you is the best thing that ever happened to me. You have filled my life with joy and have given me a sense of peace that I have never known. You are my biggest supporter. Although today marks the start of the rest of our lives, I know it will not be enough time with you. I will not take our time together for granted, and because words cannot suffice how much I want to show how much I love you, I will always make sure to show it to you, Dane. You are mine forever, and I am yours! I will never find someone else I can learn to love except you! You know my reputation, baby. I have met so many girls and guys before you, but none of them made me feel like this except you. No one made me want to be the best and enough for you. Only you! Before, I was nothing and meaningless. I was numb to all the things happening around me. I never cared for anyone! But suddenly, you came. You showed me the real meaning of happiness, Dane! All those days that I'm with you are always the happiest day of my life. Without you, I am nothing, Dane! You are the most important person in life right now. I love you forever. Love, I promise to show it to you for the rest of my life. I promise to encourage you to follow your dreams. I promise to make you laugh when you are taking yourself too seriously. I promise to hold your hand through the good times and through the bad times. I promise to be loyal and faithful and to put you before all else. I promise that when we grow old and gray, we will look back on our lives together, and we have no regrets. From this day forward, you will never walk alone.

I take you to be my partner for life. I promise above all else to live in truth with you and communicate fully and fearlessly. I give you my hand and my heart as a sanctuary of warmth and peace and pledge my love, devotion, faith, and honor As I join my life to yours.

I, Gavin Greyson Lee, take you, Dane Ariel Thompson, to be my forever life partner. I promise to be faithful, supportive, and loyal and to give you my companionship and love throughout all the changes of our life. I vow to bring you happiness, and I will treasure you as my companion. I will celebrate the joys of life with you. I promise to support your dreams and walk beside you offering courage and strength through all endeavors. From this day forward, I will be proud to be your husband and your best friend.

Gavin takes Dane's hand and places the ring on his finger

Officiant: Dane, you may now speak your vow.

🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

I get to love you
It's the best thing that I'll ever do
I get to love you
It's a promise I'm making to you
Whatever may come to your heart, I will choose
Forever I'm yours, forever I do

🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

Dane: I knew from the very moment I laid eyes on you that you were mine forever. Somehow, I want to make you mine. My heart is shouting it, but I'm too afraid to acknowledge it. I thought at first that being your friend was enough for me. I always tell myself. How can someone like him love someone like me? I'm nothing compared to you! Then you became my family! You became my whole life. You know, love, avoiding you is just my strategy to protect myself because even though I already like you, I'm not sure if you would like me too. I'm too afraid to be hurt again, but you are always there for me even though I always ignore you. I thought first that you were just playing with me but no! You are my family right from the moment you came into my life. You tried your very best to destroy all the walls I have to build between us. I never thought you would choose me before anybody else who is so in love with you. I remember some girls asking me if I did some voodoo to get you, hahaha!" all of them are laughing hearing what Dane said.

"You didn't, right?" Gavin playful asked Dane. The man just laughs again before answering him.

"Of course not, Love! But I thought about it, hahaha, kidding!" Dane laughs again. Then he stopped and looked at Gavin intently like they were the only ones present at this romantic place.

"I learned to love you so much, and from this day forward, my heart is entirely yours. I will never regret loving you, Gavin. I will never regret choosing you. I will never regret spending my whole life choosing and loving you. You are my greatest and true love. Having you in my life allows me to have the unique gift from God, Our love! I promise to be the best wife to you. Thank you for choosing me despite others. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for fighting for me. I know it is not easy for you to love me, but you did. Thank you for protecting me. As we continue to grow in our lives together, I promise to give you all of my words when needed and to share in the silence when they are not, to pick you up if you are down, to love you unconditionally, to lay my bare skin on you when needed most, to care for you and our families for as long as we live, to adventure with you always, to say I love you before falling asleep each night, to be the best wife I can be as we grow a family together, and to always know in the deepest part of my soul, that when challenges arise we will always find our way back to one another. My heart will always yearn and choose you! Gavin, you are my everything, and this is my promise to you.

I take you to be my partner for life. I promise above all else to live in truth with you and communicate fully and fearlessly; I give you my hand and my heart As a sanctuary of warmth and peace and pledge my love, devotion, faith, and honor As I join my life to yours.

I, Dane Ariel Thompson, take you Gavin Greyson Lee to be my husband. I promise to be faithful, supportive, and loyal and to give you my companionship and love throughout all the changes of our life. I vow to bring you happiness, and I will treasure you as my companion. I will celebrate the joys of life with you. I promise to support your dreams and walk beside you offering courage and strength through all endeavors. From this day forward, I will be proud to be your husband and your best friend.

Dane takes Gavin's hand and places the ring on Gavin's finger

🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

I get to love you
I get to love you
I get to love you
I get to love you

And they say love is a journey
I promise that I'll never leave
When it's too heavy to carry
Remember this moment with me

🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

Now Dane is the one who was crying, and Gavin holds his face gently to wipe the tears from his face. After a while, the officiant has finally begun to seal this marriage.

Officiant:  Go now in peace and live in love, sharing the most precious gifts you have-
the gifts of your lives united. And may your days be long on this earth. I now pronounce you husband and husband. Gavin, you may kiss your husband.

Gavin leaned his face. Dane leaned his face also to close the distance between them. They look at each other so passionately, like they are looking at the most beautiful thing in the whole wide world. Dane smiles, and so as Gavin, then finally their lips met so softly and gently. They sealed their marriage with this kiss. It was just a short peak, but for them, it was the most romantic kiss of all the kisses that they did their entire relationship. They will never forget this kiss. Their first kiss as a married couple! Their parents and all of their guest was so happy witnessing this new milestone in the life of this newlywed couple.

🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

I get to love you
I get to love you
I get to love you

🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

"I love you so much, my dear husband!" Gavin said and chuckled.

"I love you too, my dear husband!" Dane said and chuckled too

Gavin then pulled his love now-husband, Dane, into a very tight and warm hug!

Finally, They are together, and this time, it's forever
