And afterward the reception
Today was the day she had been waiting for although last night was the worst night of her life. Her and Jason were kept apart from each other. The man all stayed at the Penthouse’s and the girls all went over to the Gate house were Emily lived.
Elizabeth was getting ready as she looked in the mirror and saw her life to come with Jason. She saw children, a house, dogs, him working on his many bikes, her sitting with her hands placed over her stomach as she watched her four kids run around their back yard.
“If that is what my life is hold out for then I think we had better get started on the babies.” she said giggling.
“Who are you talking to Liz?” Emily asked as she came into the room.
“No one, just myself.” she smiled.
“You know if you are ready do you want to do up my dress please. I cant seem to reach it.” Liz asked.
“Sure. You know your dad is here and he is waiting for us to finish so he can take us up to the bridge.” Emily said as she did the zipper up on Liz’s wedding dress. “So this is the way you want your hair? I mean you don’t want anything done to it?”
“Nope cause then it would look fake, and Jason like my hair down and free so he can run his fingers in it.” she said laughing at the look on her soon to be sister in laws face. “Don’t worry I wont tell you about our sex life.”
“God please don’t make me have to listen to it, I don’t think I could ever look at my brother or you again if you did.”
Knock Knock
“Honey are you ready to go. Johnny called and everyone is there and waiting on you ladies.” Sonny called from behind the door.
“Yeah dad were ready. Is mom and Vanessa ready too?” she asked.
“Yes were ready Liz, we’re just waiting on you to get out here so we can go.” Carly said as she opened the door and stopped in her tracks. “My god Elizabeth you look absolutely gorgeous. You make my wedding dress dull compared to yours.” she said swiping a few of her tears that fell to her cheek.
“Can we go now and see Uncle Jason, cause I wanna eat cake now.” Vanessa said as she looked like a little angel in her dress.
Sonny who head yet to say anything was in shock at how beautiful Liz looked. “Honey you look so beautiful right now and I am so proud of you I just wish I could have had more time as your dad and not this last year.”
“Oh dad, don’t worry Jason and I will be across the hall for a while. And you will always be my dad so you have nothing to worry about.” she giving him a kiss on the cheek.
“Ok people we must go that was my brother and he is getting worried about us being so long.” Emily said as she giggled. “He was going to send Johnny for us, but I told him we will be there in a few minutes.”
Jason stood around the tent that was placed for the food and watched as Johnny and Francis talked. He new the limo was on its way cause he had called Max and asked where they were. He felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to see Monica and Alan standing there.
“Jason, we just wanted to say thank you for letting us be a part of yours and Elizabeth’s special day.” Monica said as she whipped a few tears away.
“Well I guess I should thank you for coming too.” he said as he looked at his dad and mom. “The wedding should be starting very soon, so you might want to go and find a spot.” he said smiling the best smile he could.
Just then the limo pulled up and Max honked the horn to let them all know that the bride was here.
“Well will see you after the wedding Jason.” and they left to find a spot.
Jason, Johnny and Francis took their spots with the minister and waited for the wedding march to begin.
Holding his breathe he waited as Carly walked down the aisle towards them with a warm smiled. Next fallowed Emily and she smiled to her family and her brother who stood staring over top of her head.
“Don’t stare to hard Jason, you might go blind.” she giggled.
Vanessa came out of the limo with help from Sonny who kissed her head and pushed her off towards the others.
“You ready to do this honey?” he asked Liz who had placed her hand in his.
“Yes. I have waited six years to become Mrs. Jason Morgan and I will not let anyone or anything get in my way of that.” she said as she got out of the limo.
As the wedding march began Liz and Sonny started the walk towards a new life that she would begin the minute she became Jason’s wife.
As she got closer to Jason she smiled and saw the look of love pass over his. Knowing this was going to be the happiest day of her life she watched his hands unclench as she got closer and closer.
Sonny nodded to Jason and he came to take her from him.
“Thank you for letting me have her in my life and that I plan to make her happier then she has ever been before.”
“That is all I ask from you Jason and I know that you will make her happy case I can see it every time she looks at you.” he said as he turned to Elizabeth and smiled. “Just be happy and I will be happy.” he kissed her and placed her hand in Jason and gave it a little squeeze.
Turning to Jason she smiled. “Hi.” she said as she giggled.
“Hi.” he said as he squeezed her hand.
Turning to the Minister they smiled.
“Are you two ready to begin?”
“Yes.” they both said.
Minister:
“It is one of life's richest surprises when the accidental meeting of two life paths lead them to proceed together along the common path as husband and wife. It is one of life's finest experiences when a casual relationship grows into a permanent bond of love. This meeting and this growth bring us together today.”
“Jason and Elizabeth, will you take vows here before all of us which symbolize the manifested vows you have already made and will continue to make to each other throughout your lives?”
“I, Elizabeth, take you, Jason, to be my lawfully wedded husband, secure in the knowledge that you will be my constant friend, my faithful partner in life, and my one true love.
On this special day, I give to you in the presence of God and all those in attendance my sacred promise to stay by your side as your faithful wife in sickness and in health, in joy and in sorrow, as well as through the good times and the bad.
I promise to love you without reservation, comfort you in times of distress, encourage you to achieve all of your goals, laugh with you and cry with you, grow with you in mind and spirit, always be open and honest with you, and cherish you for as long as we both shall live.”
“I, Jason, take you, Elizabeth, to be my lawfully wedded wife, knowing in my heart that you will be my constant friend, my faithful partner in life, and my one true love. On this special day, I give to you in the presence of God and all those in attendance my sacred promise to stay by your side as your faithful husband in sickness and in health, in joy and in sorrow, as well as through the good times and the bad.
I promise to love you without reservation, honor and respect you, provide for your needs as best I can, protect you from harm, comfort you in times of distress, grow with you in mind and spirit, always be open and honest with you, and cherish you for as long as we both shall live.”
Minister:
“The circle is the symbol of the sun, earth, and universe. It is the symbol of peace. Let this ring be the symbol of unity and peace in which your two lives are joined in one unbroken circle. Wherever you go, return unto one another and to your togetherness.”
Jason places ring on Elizabeth’s finger:
“I give you this ring to wear upon your hand as a symbol of our unity in steadfast love.”
Elizabeth places ring on Jason’s finger:
“I give you this ring to wear upon your hand as a symbol of our unity in steadfast love.”
Minister:
“You are mature people who have established individual patterns of living. Yet you have found not only a need for companionship, but the satisfaction of that need in each other's company. It is this love, based upon a responsible understanding, that will aid you in creating out of your two lives, a marriage and a happiness you will share together. Stand fast in hope and confidence, believing in yourself and believing in each other.”
“Inasmuch as you two have come before your friends and family and have declared your love and devotion to each other, I now greet you with them as husband and wife.”
