Rebecca's POV

I stared into his glistening brown orbs as he uttered my name. I could see him trying hard to hold back the tears. He swallowed the lump in his throat but he still sounded hoarse. "When I watch you get snatched away from me, half of my heart went with you. A man cannot survive with half of a heart. I needed to find my other half or I would die, no doubt. When I saw you again, my broken heart was mended. When I saw you laying lifeless, you took the life out of me. If I have no life, what do I have? When God gave you back to me for the second time I knew I was lucky! I couldn't let you go a third time. But you came back." The tears fell freely and mine did too. "Rebecca Shanna Sterling, you are my heart, my life and a reminder to me that there really is a God, who took the time to create you just for me. An excellent depiction of how great is the abundance of blessing God has bestowed upon me. As long as I have you, the world seems like a fairy tale. With just you and me living happily, ever after until the end wishes to be written." The guests applauded him as he finished. By now, everyone was crying. His speech was so immense. I swear my makeup is ruined but I couldn't stop the tears of joy from coming. "I love you" He whispered. "I love you" I whispered back. I leaned in closer as he did the same and our lips met up unintentionally. Our lips couldn't stay parted for too long. I embraced him. The guests were at awe and the priest was at loss of words. "I now declare you Man and Wife. Continue to kiss the bride" He laughed then Jerome fell in closer to fill the gap between us and the kiss deepened. "She's all mine!" Jerome shouted ontop of his lungs as we broke away from the kiss. The guests applauded and headed over to us. I embraced my parents, sister and friends one last time before I left them to start a new life with the love of my life. At the reception, we had the first dance to the song 'You're still the one' sang by herself. "Shania Twain!" I screamed in his arms as we swayed from left to right. "Surprise!" He grinned and I kissed him passionately. I had a mighty husband that I wanted to cherish forever. After the dance, the single ladies gathered along the terrace to participate in the tossing of my bouquet. One... two... three! I tossed it from behind then turned around just in time to see my best friend Roxan catch it. She screamed in excitement at her victory. Tony had the groom's band and had to slip it up Roxan's thigh with his teeth. It was exhilarating to watch. After the wedding reception, Jerome lifted me bridal style to the parked limousine painted with 'Just Married' at the back with silver cans tied unto the bottom. I seated myself in the car beside my husband and stuck my head out the window to wave to everyone goodbye. I will miss them, but I will visit soon. Jerome waved too but stopped to see my smoldering gaze upon him. I leaned into him for a kiss and we were both busy consuming each other's mouth. The driver started the engine and we drove off together. Towards sunset...

The End....
