Ch 30: I do
SORRY long chapter but leave lots of commentsss
Michonne's P.O.V
"Come out! I bet you look great!" Sasha yelled from the other side of the bathroom door.
I shimmied my hips in the tight white dress that Sasha gave me and the black heels Maggie got from some lady in the hilltop community.
"Guys I- I just don't know!" I exclaimed
"Well let us see atleast." Carol said.
I sighed and opened the bathroom door, shyly doing a full turn.
Carol, Maggie and Sasha dropped their jaws in amazement and began clapping.
"Girl you get out there and you marry that man!" Sasha boasted
I smiled shyly and wiped the tear that was coming on.
"What's wrong?" Carol asked, pulling me into a hug.
"I just didn't think we'd be like this one day."
I'm happy that I'm marrying Rick, beyond joyed. Words actually can't explain how glad I am that we are taking this step.. maybe this will lead to greater things, like a family...
"I'm so happy for you two!" Maggie exclaimed, joining the hug.
I pulled away and twisted my dreads that were in a high ponytail.. man I hadn't been this dolled up in a while.
Maggie looked me up and down and shed a tear, "I'll go tell them you're ready." she sniffled
While Maggie was gone, Carol and Sasha looked around for jewelry or any other accessory I could wear. Luckily, they found a small rose bobby pin that they attached to my hair, and in all honestly, it made the look.
Just then, Maggie ran through the door, holding tight to her dress.
"they're ready for the beautiful bride." She said, still smiling wide as ever.
I took a deep breath a followed Maggie to the building where we're holding the ceremony.
Oh Christ I'm so nervous.
We all stood at the doors, just staring at each other.
I'm getting married to Rick Grimes, probably the most amazing guy I have ever met. Who knew?
"We're ready when you are." Sasha whispered
Truth is I'm not ready.. like, I'm ready to be his wife I'm just not ready for what's on the other side of this door.
He is, standing there, about to see me dressed up for once.. his future wife..will he be over whelmingly happy? what will he think for Christ's sake!
and then there's Carl, and Jay and Judith and Abraham and Glenn, my whole family, about to witness the happiest day of my life.
My heart pounded faster and faster, harder and harder as my fingers ran across the door.
here we go.
I pushed through the door to be met by what felt like a million eyes, looking me up and down. There were rose petals lined along the designated aisle that I'm about to walk down... and they led to Rick.
Rick.. he stood talk with a button up white shirt, his crooked bowtie which made him even cuter, and some nice dress pants and shoes, his hair slicked back with a clean shaven face. God he is so handsome.
On his side, stood Jay and Carl, all dressed up and smiling like idiots.
Gabriel stood in front of Rick, holding a Bible open and grinning like never before.
At the que of the lady playing 'here comes the bride' on the piano in the far corner, I began walking down aisle.
I took each step slowly, still hyperventilating on the inside, but staring Rick in his soft blue eyes.
He puckered his jaw and ran his hand over his face, then held his head down for a moment and shook his head.
When he sat back up, he smiled so widely and so brightly as the tears streamed down his face.
watching him cry while I walked down the aisle made me realize how much I love this man... more than myself.
I reached the altar and we conjoined hands, still staring each other in the eyes. Mine were beginning to water and he was already bawling silently.
The pianist stopped playing and Gabriel began speaking,
"Today we are gathered here for the matrimony of Rick and Michonne. Today there are no dead languages to solemnize vows that are very much alive and will remain so for a lifetime. Today promises become permanent and friends become family,"
He shot Rick and I a glance and smiled.
"However, this day is not about the words spoken or the rings exchanged, nor is it about grand pronouncements and recessional marches.
This day – the day of bride and groom's wedding – is about love.
One of my favorite authors once wrote, “If love is not all, then it is nothing: this principle, and its opposite, collide down all the years of my breathless tale.”"
I could feel Rick's hand's tightening around mine.
"Rick and Michonne, your breathless tale is about to begin.
If love is not all, then it is nothing.
Its opposite – If love is all, then it is everything – is going to be the basis for every aspect of your relationship.
All you have to do is simply love one another and that love shows through in everything you do for one another, how you treat each other, in good times and bad.
Love isn’t just a word; it’s an action.
Love isn’t something you say, it’s something you do.
Love is genuine, honest, and open, compassionate and kind, passionate and blind, love doesn’t know space or time, nor look through jealous eyes, and in the modified words of Paul in his letter to the Corinthians, “Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. Love never dies.”
There are many different kinds of love, almost if not all of which are represented here today. There is romantic love, the love of parents and children, of brothers and sisters and family, and love among friends."
Gabriel looked up and smiled at Carl and Jay...our sons, our family.
"Not only do Rick and Michonne love one another romantically – and they do, you can see it in every look, every touch, every moment they’re together – they also love one another as friends.
In fact, they’re best friends, constantly giggling and taunting and teasing and very plainly and obviously having fun together.
That love and enjoyment of each other as best friends will sustain them through this marriage.
In addition, the love collectively in this room, from friends and family, will help sustain and support the promises they make today.
All of us here will help solidify this bond, as these two individuals are joined as husband and wife.
This new journey will be at times richly rewarding and extremely difficult, but, most importantly, it will be a journey you take together.
You are promising, in front of all these people you love, that you want to be with each other and only each other for the rest of your lives, and that you will do everything in your power to honor the promises you are making here today.
For their part, the people who love you will also do everything in their power to try to help you hold up your end of the bargain.
So now, in front of all these people, you will say your vows."
Gabriel did a small bow and stepped back bit.
Rick wiped the remaining tears in his eyes and took a deep breath,
"Michonne, first of all I just wanna say that you look incredibly beautiful right now, and you always do. I'm here today to make you my wife because you make me happy in so many ways. I'm the luckiest man on earth right now! I adore you above all means. You are my light in my darkest moments, and my reason to live. Michonne, you are the quirkiest, strongest, amazingest woman I have ever met.
There was a time when I was alone, no where to go and no place to call home.. My only friend was the voice in my head telling me I shouldn't wake up again.. But then I met you--and you changed my life. From the moment I stared you down at the gates and til now, I have always loved you. I will always love you. Thank you for saving my life, Michonne, and for loving me. I owe you everything." he smiled
This made me cry, the way he smiled and moved his hands around enthusiastically, and the part about him almost committing suicide-- how I saved him. How could I mean so much to him to save him?
I smiled shyly and shook his hands, trying to fight back the tears.
"I've been through alot, you've been through alot, but I'm glad we got through it together. Every second I'm with you makes me feel like I have the world in my hands, maybe because you are my world or maybe because you treat me like I own it. Rick, you're the funniest sweetest handsomest charming charismatic man, and people may not realize that, and you might not realize that but you mean so much to me. I love you forever and ever. Nothing will break us, we are strong and we'll make it. I won't ever give up on you-" my voice cracked and I began sobbing uncontrollably,in front of everyone.
Rick pulled me close and hugged me tight.
"Well, without further ado," Gabriel began, staring at Rick.
"Rick do you take Michonne to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?"
"I do," he nearly whispered.
"And Michonne do you take Rick
to be your lawfully wedded husband to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?"
"I do." I smiled
Gabriel grinned and closed his bible, looking around at the family gathered today.
"By the power invested in me, I now pronounce you Husband and Wife. You may kiss the bride!"
"Come here," Rick mouthed as he pulled me by my waist and kissed my lips long and passionately.
Everyone clapped and shouted 'wooo' as we held our lips together.
Gabriel split our kiss and held our hands together, facing the audience.
"I now introduce you to Mr and Mrs. Rick Grimes."
Rick looked at me and shyly smiled, grabbing my hand and looking down awkwardly. So kawaii.
I pulled him down the aisle as the music played and people clapped.

Rick's P.O.V
She's all mine now, Michonne Grimes. I don't ever have to worry about questioning our love because it's solid sealed and not concealed.
Abraham walked up beside me and pat my shoulder hardly, "congratulations." he said
I chuckled and continued watching Michonne get down and dirty to the pianist's choice of songs. That goofball is mine!
"Thank you,"I murmured, "ready for you and Sasha?"
"I don't know If I'm ready yet. But that was the cutest shit I've ever seen." he said
"I cried when I saw her walk down the aisle. She was so beautiful, with her glowing skin to her high ponytail. She was a goddess." I wandered off into my thoughts, forgetting Abe is right beside me.
"She was gorgeous."
"Thank you."I smiled, like it was a compliment for me. But it technically was.
Just then, Michonne swooped in and began grinding her hips against mine, "I LOVE YOU." she shouted over the loud words.
"I love you too, Mrs.Grimes." I kissed her cheek and rubbed my fingers down her neck.
"Mrs.Grimes has a ring to it. Anyway, I got something planned for you tonight Officer Grimes." she whispered in my ear
She backed away and winked at me before returning to Jay and Carl.
God, we're married now.
