Amanda's POV

It's been six months and I am finally marrying my love, my best friend, tomorrow. It's been a long and crazy road for us to get here. Tomorrow starts a brand new chapter in our lives and I can't wait to start. We have spent many weekends flying home to get everything settled and reserved for our day. We arrived this morning and my dad was there to pick us up.

"Hey pumpkin, Eric, are you two ready for tomorrow?"

"Yes, I am so excited!"

"Ready to spend the rest of my life with the woman right here."

"Let me see my granddaughter." he says as he reaches into her carrier and picks her up. She squeals and laughs as he smothers her face in kisses, and gives back wet ones in return. "She has grown so much since the last time I saw her."

"Are you ready to spend a week with her?" I ask.

"I sure am, and I have help too."

"Hey guys, let's get back to the house and get you settled in before the rehearsal." Stella chimes in as she walks up to us. Yes, my dad finally gave in and asked Stella out and they have been inseparable ever since. I am so glad that he stepped out of his comfort zone. Mom would have wanted him to be happy again. I think they make a wonderful couple. She knew mom and she will never let her memory fade for dad. We climbed in Dad's truck and headed back to his house to unload and relax before we needed to head to the venue. The only thing I did was reconnect with Heather, my old coworker. I wanted her at my wedding since she was one to help me all those years ago. Without her we would not be together. Matt would be my man of honor as Heather was a bridesmaid. Eric chose his uncle as best man and Kyle was one of his groomsmen. We just wanted a small wedding with family and friends. We all sat and talked until it was time to head to the venue. We met everyone there and went through the ceremony several times before we decided that we had everything down. Then we headed to the restaurant.

"I know I was an ass at the beginning, but she is my only child and I thought I wanted better for her. Over the years I realize that Eric is a great man and I am so glad that they found each other. Here's to many more years together."

"Thank you Jason."

"I am so glad we became friends, and so glad we have reconnected. I knew that you two were meant for each other. Congrats, you two and please don't be strangers again." Heather says with a tear in her eye.

"I won't, girl. You are welcome anytime at our place too." I return.

"Son, when you came to us, you were a broken boy trying to find his way. Now I see sitting before me the man I knew you would become, with a wonderful woman and beautiful family. You make me proud son, and I wish your parents could see it." His uncle says proudly.

We all sit around and talk and our parents tell stories of us as kids and I blush at a few. It is starting to get late and we all go our separate ways. Eric is staying at the we will be staying on our wedding night. We decided that we wouldn't see each other until the ceremony. I will miss him tonight.

"Goodnight my love, see you at the altar. I love you."

"Goodnight, I will meet you there. I will miss you tonight."

We kiss and he goes with Matt and Kyle as Madison and I go home with my dad. We soon are home and I take my little pea up to put her to bed. I eventually head up to bed too. It seems weird to lay in my old bed by myself. It is lonely, and it takes a while before I finally fall asleep.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

It's early morning and I hear a knock at the door. I slowly drag myself up and open the door. There stands Stella holding Madison. She looked like she had been crying for a bit.

"Somebody wanted her momma this morning. Sorry to wake you."

"It's okay, did you miss me, little pea?" She shook her head and reached for me and I took her from Stella. We walked downstairs and I grabbed one of her bottles out of the refrigerator to warm up. Soon it was ready and she slurped it down.

"So are you nervous this morning?"

"Not at all, I can't wait to call him my husband."

"So the rest of the girls should be here soon, and we can start getting everyone ready."

I am sitting at the kitchen island and I hear Heather, Matt, and Aunt Tonya come in.

"I won't stay long. I just wanted to come bring this for Amanda and I will be heading off with the boys." Matt hands me a small box as he kisses my cheek. "I will see you there bunny, love you."

"Love you too, Matty."

I open the box and inside is a beautiful antique bracelet. I pull it out and I see Aunt Tonya's eyes start to water.

I read the note from the box. "My love, this was my grandmother's, she gave it to my aunt and now it comes to you. This is your something old. It's not anywhere as beautiful as I know you will be. I can't wait to see you walking down that aisle to me. I will be the guy in the vest. I love you so much. See you soon, my love."

"This is absolutely beautiful."

"I knew you would love it and I wouldn't want anyone else to have it."

I quickly wrap her in a hug as the tears flow. She is like a mom to me. She will never replace my mom but it's good to have her here.

"Alright, no more crying. It's time for makeup and hair. Let's get moving girls." Stella works on my hair as Heather does my makeup. Then everyone else is done. It's a couple hours till the ceremony and they help me into my dress. Once I am all ready my dad walks in. His eyes tear up as he puts my mom's veil on my head.

"You look so beautiful, pumpkin. Your mom would be so proud."

"I know she is here with us, dad. Now don't make me cry. I will ruin my makeup." We chuckle as he hugs me tight.

"Let's go get you married."

We all walk down and outside and sitting in my front yard is a stretch limo. We all climb in and get comfortable as it pulls out heading to the venue. As we get there it pulls along the building so we all can get out without anyone seeing us. We are taken into our room as the photographer takes pictures moving us in and out so we don't see each other. Time is counting down and it's time for the ceremony to begin.

"Are you ready, pumpkin?"

"Yes daddy, let's go get my man."

We walk out of the building and behind the curtain.

"I will see you down there." Matt smiles as he begins to walk down.

"See you soon."

The music begins as everyone walks down and takes their place, and then it gets quiet. My music begins and I step out from behind and stand at the end of the aisle for a second before my dad and I start to walk down. I look up and there is my handsome man standing there with tears in his eyes.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Eric's POV

I watch as everyone comes down the aisle and takes their place. My hands are shaking as I wait for my bride to walk down that aisle. I can't wait to call her my wife. I love this woman so much it hurts. Once everyone makes it to their spots the music stops and they begin to play her music. She begins her walk and I look up to see her and her dad walking down.

She is absolutely breathtaking. I can't help the tears that fall. How did I get so lucky to have this woman in my life. I look over and see my baby girl sitting in my aunt's lap. She is just as happy as she can be swinging those chubby arms and babbling. She looks up to me and I wave to her and she squeals. I look back to my bride as they make it to me.

"Who gives this bride to be with this man?" The officiant begins.

"Her mother and I do." He takes her hand and places it in mine. "Take care of her son. She is my best girl."

"I will. You can count on that."

He kisses her cheek and goes to sit next to Stella.

"We are gathered here to celebrate the love of Eric and Amanda, and to join them in holy matrimony. They have wanted to say their own vows. Eric you may go first."

"In your heart, I have found my love. In your soul, I have found my mate. With you, I am whole, full and alive. You make me laugh. You let me cry. You are my breath, my every heartbeat. I pledge to listen to your advice, and occasionally take it. I pledge to never take score, even if I'm totally winning. I pledge to always admire your huge, strong, kind and determined heart. I pledge that I will love you. You know me better than anyone else in this world and somehow still you manage to love me. You are my best friend and one true love. There is still a part of me today that cannot believe that I'm the one who gets to marry you. I see these vows not as promises but as privileges. I get to laugh with you and cry with you, care for you and share with you. I get to run with you and live with you. I promise to be your navigator, consoler, sidekick, best friend and your husband. Finally I promise myself."

He places my ring on my finger.

"Now for you Amanda."

"How do I follow that?" I ask as I wipe a tear from my eye. I hear laughter from the crowd.

"When I saw you that first day. I knew I had to know you. There was something that pulled me to you like a moth to a flame. You always knew what I needed when I didn't know myself. When you were made to leave, you were all I thought about. I couldn't get you out of my head. That fateful day when my car broke down and I took it to your shop was the best day of my life until now. You have always been my biggest supporter next to my dad. You were always there to catch me when I fell and when I needed saving. You are a wonderful father to our little girl and I wouldn't change it for the world. You are my first, my last, my everything. You are mine until the end of time, and I am yours for as long as you'll have me."

I place his ring on his finger.

"And now with the power invested in me by the state of Texas. I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride."

He reaches up and places a hand on my cheek and another on my waist as he leans in to give me a toe curling kiss as he pulls me against him. After we pull away breathless and turn to the crowd.

"May I present Mr. and Mrs. Eric Stoltz.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Amanda's POV

The crowd erupts with cheers and clapping as we walk down the aisle and head over to the reception. After pictures are done and we walk in, everyone is introduced. We are on the dance floor as they begin our first dance. I wrap my arms around his neck and he wraps his around my waist as Done by Chris Jansen begins to play. As we dance together the room disappears, we are the only two on the floor, He places his forehead against mine.

"I love you so much, Mrs. Stoltz"

"I love you so much too, Mr. Stoltz."

"Can we leave now? Do you think anyone would notice?"

"I think they would."

"I want you so bad right now."

"Just a little longer my love."
As the song ends they call for the father daughter dance and my father comes in as we dance to butterfly kisses. I know my father always meant well for me and I have forgiven him long ago.

https://youtu.be/SwlAdEnT-do

"You are absolutely beautiful today, pumpkin. Are you happy?"

"I am daddy, I love Eric so much."

"He really is a great man, I am so sorry for what I put you two through."

"I have already forgiven you."

After we dance, Eric dances with his aunt. I sit down with Madison as I watch them. The evening goes by in a blur as we cut the cake and dance with our friends. Soon it is time for us to leave. We go over to my dad who is holding Madison as she sleeps. We both kissed her head and hugged my dad.

"I'm going to miss her so much while we are gone."

"I am too. I am sure your dad won't mind if we call to check on her. It's time for us to go, love."

"You two go have fun. Don't worry about us. We will spoil her while you're gone." Dad just smiles at us.

"Yes, we will. Don't worry about her. She will be great. Have fun and we will see you in a week." Stella says as she hugs us both goodbye.

We head back to the hotel and head up to our room. Once we are in the room, he closes and locks it. He walks over to me and crashes his lips to mine as our tongues entwine. He slowly turns me around as he slowly slides the zipper down and the dress falls pooling at my feet. He stands back to look at me and admires me in my lingerie.

"You are so sexy." He walks back over to me and starts kissing my neck as his hands slide over my breasts. He leads us over to the bed and pushes me down on it as he begins to undress. I slowly slide up the bed as he is standing there in all his naked glory. He slowly starts to crawl up my body and kisses me again taking the air from my lungs. He then starts to kiss down my neck as he slowly starts to slide the straps down as he places kisses where the straps have been. His kisses follow the material and his mouth finds my nipple as he sucks one into his mouth and his hand starts to massage the other. My back arches as my hands slide through his hair and pull. He worships my breast for a moment before he starts his way down again kissing my skin as he goes. His thumbs slide under the elastic of my panties as he looks up to me with fire in his eyes that sends a jolt straight to my core and can feel my juices pooling there. He pulls the small fabric down my legs and off as he spreads my legs for more access.

"So beautiful."

I can't help but smile as my cheeks flush red. He slowly kisses up my thighs as he makes his way to my mound. He slowly inhales before his tongue runs through my soaking slit. He finds my nub and begins to suck on it as he slides two fingers into me as he slowly starts to move them. His tongue never leaves my nub as he curves his fingers to find that sweet spot. I fist the sheets as I feel the knot in my stomach start to spread.

"Oh yes, don't stop. I'm gonna cum!"

"Cum for me, let me taste you."

I explode all over his face as he licks me clean. He starts to kiss his way up my body as his lips find mine again. I can feel his tip at my entrance as he teases me with it.

"Please, I need you."

"What do you want, my love?"

"I need you inside me!"

"Whatever you want."

He slowly slides his length in and slowly begins thrusting in and out. He feels so good inside me, stretching my walls. I can feel every bit of him as he slowly makes love to me. He eventually sits back on his knees as he grabs my legs and throws them over his shoulder as I feel him deeper than ever before.

"Oh yes, faster love, harder!"

He leans forward and changes his angle as he pistons into me. His pelvis rubbing against my clit as his length brushes against that sensitive spot.

"Oh yes, you feel so good wrapped around my cock. I don't think I can last much longer."

"Oh, I am gonna cum again!" I feel my orgasm begin to rush down my spine. Stars begin to form behind my eyes and I bite my lip trying to keep it back.

"Hold on, I'm almost there!"

I try to hold it back as much as I can.

"I don't think I can hold much longer. You feel so good. Oh god!"
"I'm there, love. Cum with me!"
We both explode together as my toes curl and my nails dig into his back in one of the biggest orgasms I have felt. He falls to his elbows above me as he softly kisses my lips and then my forehead. We stay like this for a bit as we fight to catch our breaths. He then slowly pulls out and lays down beside me as he pulls me onto his chest.

"I love you, my wife."

"Say it again."

"I love you, my wife."

"And I love you my husband."

"This has been the best day of my life. I am so glad to call you my wife, and you have already given me the best gift in life. I never thought I wanted to be a dad. When I held that tiny human in my arms. She had me wrapped around her little finger already. I love you both so much."

"This was the best day of my life too. All those years ago, I never thought I would see you again. The fates were working overtime that day."

"So this is the start of a new chapter in our lives. To a fresh start, my wife."

"To a new chapter my husband."

That night we made love into the early morning. We fell asleep in each other's arms as the sun began to rise. We will start a new chapter and there is nothing ahead but a bright future as long as we are together, nothing can stand in our way.
