All Together

Chapter 11

I'm standing in my white dress at the end of the isle. Both of my brother on my arms, I look at Jasper and smile.

My brothers leads me down the isle, they hand me off to Jasper. I step in front of him as I look at our family. Marcellus is leading the wedding and I wouldn't have it any other way. Hope and Renesmee were the flower girls. Seth is the wedding bearer.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in the sight of God, and in the presence of family and friends to join together this man and this woman in Holy Matrimony, which is commended of St. Paul to be an honorable estate, instituted of God and therefore is not to be entered into unadvisedly or carelessly, but reverently, joyfully and in the love of God. Into this holy estate these two persons present come now to be joined."

I look at Marcellus as he grins at me, I roll my eyes but focus back on Jasper.

"Jesus Christ Reminds us, that at the beginning the Creator made us male and female , and said, For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh.God loved us, and created us to love others. Our lives find completion only as we love and are loved in return. Together, we can become what we could never be separately. Marriage is of God."

He grips my hands and I smile at him, I look at our connected hands and I'm happy. After so many years of running and hiding form our parents, I'm finally able to stop and have a family.

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."

I look at my family and I see my sister and Hayley crying.

"Jasper and Alex come today desiring to be united in this sacred relationship."

He bows his head and we all do the same.

Let us Pray."

"O' Almighty God you have created us all in the image of Love, the image of Yourself. Bless now these two who stand before you. Guide them in your wisdom, shine your light upon them, that as they journey through this life together they will walk as bearers of your Truth. Amen."

I hand my bouquet to Rebecca and I smile, she wipes a tear and I turn back to Jasper.

"Please join hands."

We tighten the grip on our hold and step closer together.

"I ask you each now, to repeat the marriage vows."

Jasper smiles and he decided he was going start first.

"I, Jasper take you, Alex for my wedded wife, To love and cherish, For better or worse, for richer or poorer, In sickness and in health. From this day forward.

"I, Alex take you, Jasper for my wedded husband, To love and cherish, For better or worse, for richer or poorer, In sickness and in health. From this day forward."

We all watch Seth hand come up with the rings, Marcel smiles at him.

"May the Lord Bless these rings which you give to each other as your sign of Love, Devotion and ever lasting peace. Amen."

Jasper and I grab the rings and I can't help but smile, we both start to speak.

"This ring is my sacred gift to you, A symbol of my Love, A sign that from this day forward and always, My Love will surround you, With this ring I thee wed."

We put the rings on each other's fingers and I laugh a little. I know Jasper is overly excited with everyone's emotions on overdrive.

"Oh, eternal God Creator and preserver, Giver of all spiritual grace, the Author of everlasting life; Send thy blessing upon these thy servants, this man and this woman, whom we bless in thy Name; that they, living faithfully together, may surely perform and keep the vow and covenant between them as symbolized by these rings as a token and pledge, and may ever remain in perfect love and peace together and live according to thy laws."

"For as much as Alex and Jasper have consented together in holy matrimony and have witnessed the same before God and those present, and have pledged their faithfulness, each to the other, and have declared their love by giving and receiving Rings and by joining hands, I now, by the authority committed unto me as a minister and a priest, declare that Jasper and Alex are husband and wife according to the ordinance of God, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Those Whom God Has joined together, let no one put asunder."

"May the Peace and the Unconditional Love of God surround you and remain with you now and forevermore. Amen."

He winks at me and I smile at him.

"You may seal you vows with a kiss."

He pulls me towards him and purrs. He leans in and kisses me, I quickly kiss him back. We pull away and turn to the guest.

"Allow me to present Mr. and Mrs. Hale"

He grabs my hand and we walk down the isle, we decided that we would wait for the honeymoon. Our families are not important than anything else.
———————————————————————
People are leaving and I feel happy about it, no one was hurt. Alice's vision didn't come true and we're safe. Jasper and I say goodbye to Peter and Charlotte. I look up at Alice and smile, my family comes over to us.

"Guys I wanted to give you something"

I hand them keys and Elijah looks at me weirdly.

"It's for the house close to mine, we got it for you. There's a beautiful field and lots of woods behind it."
