2:7 Forever Now

_____2 weeks later_____

 

It was the day of the wedding and Jackson was a ball of nerves. They had spent the last 8 months planning this, and agreed to have it in the garden of his house, soon to be their marital home. He again checked his hair in the mirror, straightened his bow tie and for what must've been the 7th time, checked that his vows were in his jacket pocket.

He heard the doorbell go. It was time. He let everyone in and headed out to the garden to join Lisa. She had thought long and hard about her wedding charms. Something old was the shoes she had worn to prom, something new was the fairy wings, which weren't going anywhere, something borrowed was the dress, a rental from the bridal shop in town, and something blue was the ribbon tied in her hair. Since the witches spell she had become very supersticious and had been worrying about today even more than Jackson.
"Are you ready?" She nodded. She couldn't get any words to form right now. She had spent a lot of time trying to find out about the curse the witch had cast on her. Would it shorten her life? Could she have children? If so, would they be affected? A lot of questions were left unanswered, but Jackson helped calm her nerves at every possible opportunity, and had been there night and day when she needed him.

They moved to the hired wedding arch, and all the guests followed to the carefully arranged seating to get a good view of the ceremony.

"Jackson Kenneth Mattell, you have been my friend since the first year of high school. You have helped me with my homework, and any problems I have had in the years we've been together. You have always been a gentleman to me, and have never argued with me, even when I have been wrong and done stupid things. I love you with all my heart, and I give you this ring to prove I will do all I can to keep you happy until death do us part."

"Lisa Judy Bunch, you were the first person to talk to me at school when I moved here, and I never understood why because you're so popular and I was just a geek and the new kid. You have always taken the first steps in our relationship, you asked me to prom, you arranged our first date, and so I had to be the first to propose. I needed to let you know how much I love you, how much I can't live without you, and how much I don't want to live without you. I give you this ring to signify all I have is yours too, and I will do all I can to give you all you want and need until death do us part. Together forever now."

As the happy couple kissed, the small crowd was cooing and sniffing back tears.

Jackson soon went over to cut the cake. He hadn't eaten all day for nerves, and he was sure Lisa had gone longer.

"Mrs Mattell" Lisa said to herself as she washed a plate she found in the bathroom. She smiled at herself. "Lisa Mattell" It had a nice ring to it, she would go down to city hall and change it in the morning.

Jackson called her outside.
"Mrs Mattell, my beautiful fairy bride, would you join me to end the perfect day by watching the stars like old times?" She sat beside him and they held each other for about half an hour when Lisa started to shiver. "I wondered how long it would take" he whispered "I know the perfect way to warm you up..." He stood up and pulled her into the house towards the bedroom.






As I said last chapter, I'm better at doom and gloom than lovey-dovey, so sorry if the whole chapter felt kind of stiff.

Also, I had a bachelor party for Jackson, and it was going to be the best party ever and have its own chapter, but nobody showed up :'( It was just him and a party dancer that his 'friends' called apparently. It was really upsetting.

Wedding picture spam!! :)

  Happy Lisa enjoying cake.

 

Jackson avoiding his new wife and opting to eat inside with Mercedes and Morgana

The kiss from yet another angle.

The two guests that I could have killed for not sitting :@ I tried to avoid them in all the pictures, but that man managed to sneak into most.

Just another wedding guest being polite...
