The Wedding: STARTS!!
All of the guest were now seated. Gabriel stood at the alter with Cyrus behind him, holding onto a bible and looking anxious. Elle and Zane were standing off to the side of the alter as best man and brides maid. Tabitha, making her final check on the sound system before picking up a mike and handed it to Leo. Theyâd decided to do a duet for the wedding. The music came on and after a moment, they started singing
Wedding song:

In the pews, he could see Martin smiling broadly at him. He was truly happy for his nephew and that only made the moment more special, if that was possible. Then everyone turned and stood up. Emmet walked down the aisle, Jessica and Godric on either side of him, arm in arm. Gabrielâs breath was caught in his throat. Heâd seen Emmet so many times, but this felt like the first time all over again. Back in his old watch shop, conversing over different time peaces, sharing laughs. But seeing him, practically gliding down the aisle.
Emmet could barely comprehend the emotions he was feeling. Happiness didnât do them justice, not at all. He could hear the blood pounding in his ears the closer they got. It felt like forever since heâd seen his precious man, waiting for him and looking so handsome. As their eyes met, all the other people around them seemed to vanish. They were back high above the clouds, a realm made just for them. Emmet was jarred back to reality as they reached the alter. Smiling at his mother and brother, he went to stand next to Gabriel, Leo and Tabitha finishing the song at the same time before going to sit down.
Cyrus cleared his throat, out the corner of his eye saw what Godric was wearing, blushed, composed himself, and began âDearly beloved we are gathered here today in the presence of love to join Gabriel and Emmet in Matrimony. These two kindred spirits who have chosen one another out of anybody else in the whole world. Both the groom and theâŠ..bride have prepared vows â
Gabriel turned towards Emmet, his voice finally starting to come back. Heâd been thinking about his vows for a while now. Trying to come up with the right things to say. But in the end, heâd decided to just wait for the day to come and speak from his heart.
âEmmet, to say I love you would never be enough. No matter how long immortality is for us. I look at you and see all Iâll ever want or need in this life. Looking back at it all, all the things that have led us here. The laughs, tears, blood, sorrows, and pain. I truly am sorry for all the pain I caused, to you and myself. I know now that all of that is in the past and doesnât mean anything in the present now. You are my heart, life, and soul, the one person I will always be with â
Tears gleamed down Emmetâs cheek as Gabriel finished his vows. It was so beautiful and heartfelt âGabriel, Iâve never believed in love, or truly known what it even was. But once I met you, I started to get an idea. You became my center and my absolute, even through the most horrible of times and separation, you never left my heart or mind. No one can even step into the territory that you hold, never. Iâd sooner end the world before giving myself up to anyone else. To be by your side through eternity and whatever awaits at the end is what I want and cherish the most. I love you Gabriel, no matter who you become Iâll stay with and love only you â
Cyrus starred between the two of them; his skin was pricking from the aura they seemed to exude. A clashing of white and black, red and blue. He smiled brightly as he starred at Godric out the corner of his eye. Their relationship was still fresh but he hoped they one day reached the pinnacle that Emmet and Gabriel had.
âIf anyone feels there is a reason these two should not be bonded in union, speak now or forever hold your peac-
His words were cut off as the church exploded in bloodlust and murderous intent. Most of it deriving from the bride as he smiled threatening out into the audience as well as the Groom who glaring. Cyrus could see most of Emmetâs family were all sporting their stigmaâs and he couldnât help but think only the worldâs stupidest individual would say anything. Clearing his throat, he continued
âWill the rings now be presented â
Zane held his hand out producing the rings. Gabriel took them and handed Emmet one. They took turns placing the rings on each otherâs finger.
âWell then, by the power invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride â
By a combination of Gabriel pulling and Emmet leaping bodily, they embraced each other before their lips met in a passionate move that caused flames to erupt around them. Cyrus was about to jump back but stopped as he realized the flames werenât burning and felt cool, running his hands through them he felt the essence of calm and harmony.
Once they finally pulled away, the church erupted in applause and cheers. Hand in hand, the newly married couple ran down the aisle, flowers and explosions, curtacy of Sophie, going off and showering them.
Moments later, everyone had moved over to the massive tent that had been set up. A series of tables were set up, Emmet and Gabriel having one for themselves with everyone else taking whichever they felt like. A seating order had been attempted but given on with the grounds that too many people disliked each other at the wedding. Soon food and drinks were brought out and delivered to the tables.
