Marriage
" Yeah,..... would you like to get married tonight?" Jacob asks me. I'm stunned, we have only been engaged for two days. But in a way it seems right, I mean if we really love each other it should be right. So I bring his face down and kiss him. I break away, and smile.
" Yes," I whisper. Jacob smiles, then he takes my hand. I look up at Jacob, " You know, if we are going to get married tonight, we will have to find a church," He looks down at me.
" Well we aren't going to find a priest if we stand out here," I smile at him. We find the nearest church in Lambeth, and we walk inside. Since it is getting dark outside, the church is getting dark inside. I see a candle light luminescenting the hallway. Then the priest sees us.
" My, what are you two doing here at this hour?" the priest says.
" Father, we need you to do something for us," I say.
" And what is that my child?" the priest says. Jacob takes off his hat.
" We need you to marry us," Jacob says. The priest looks at both of us. He sets down the candle.
" When?" the priest asks. I look at him.
" Now would be good," I say. The priest smiles. The priest heads to the alter, and me and Jacob follow him, the priest then starts the ceremony.
" Before we begin what are your names," the priest asks.
" I'm Jacob Frye and my fiancee here is Emily Drake," Jacob says our names.
" Thank you, now we can begin," the priest says, since there were no one at the church, the priest skipped the opening ceremony," Jacob, do you take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife, do you promise to love her, to cherish her, to death do you part?"
" I do," Jacob says. The priest turns to me.
" Emily, do you take this man to be your lawful wedded husband, do you promise to love him, to cherish him, to death do you part?" the priest asks me.
" I do," I say.
" Then, the power trusted in me, I pronounce you husband and wife," the priest turns to Jacob," you may now kiss your bride,"
Jacob leans down and kisses me passionately. Then Jacob broke the kiss, and turns to the priest.
" Thank you," Jacob says. The priest turns to use.
" You know I have seen many people like you before, there parents not approve of them being together, or the man impregnates the woman, and they get married in secret," the priest explains," I know it's none of my business so I won't asks any questions," with that said the priest leaves us.
So we walk out of the church. I sigh. Jacob looks at me.
" Emily, what's wrong?" Jacob asks. I turn to him.
" I ..... don't want to go back to uncle's shop tonight," I confess. Jacob grins at me.
" Who says you have to go back," Jacob smiles and his hands cup my face," and I don't want to go back to the train tonight," I realize what Jacob is taking about and I blush. I think Jacob say it because he starts laughing. I look up at him and smile, he stops laughing.
" Lets go to a hotel," I say while grading his coat. Jacob smiles.
" I like the way you think, Mrs. Frye," Jacob says about to kiss me.
" And I like the way you think, Mr. Frye," I say before he kisses me.
Jacob and I go to a hotel, and we get a room. We walk up the stairs to our room after Jacob pays for it and he was given a key to it. We find it and Jacob opens the door and let's me in first. Then he closes the door behind us.
What happened that night was a blur, but what I do know was that it was the best night of my life.
