My thoughts were interrupted as the officiant said. “Luke and Alex have both written vows to each other. Luke you may start.”

“Alex, I promise that every day for the rest of our lives I’m going to make you feel beautiful.

To make you smile and laugh.

To dance whenever and wherever the song takes us.

To be there to lift you up every time you fall and wipe away the tears.

To love Mason as if he were my own.

To fall more in love with you each day that I have with you.

I love you, Alex. Forever and always.”

Luke

Wiping the few tears that trailed down her cheek with my thumb, I gave her an encouraging nod. With each word of my vows, I watched as her eyes brimmed with tears and eventually slip down her golden cheeks.

I couldn’t believe that in only a few short minutes she’d be my wife. Clearing her throat, she gazed up at me with so much love in her eyes, my entire body pulsed with emotion.

“Long ago I gave up the little girl’s dream of her fairytale life until you walked into my life.

You’ve given me everything that I never knew I wanted and more.

You’ve shown me what love really is.

That it’s okay to let your guard down.

To trust.

To cry.

And to love.

Every day, I promise to show you how much you’re loved.

How honored I am that out of everyone you chose me, love me, and never fail to make me feel treasured.

You are my forever. I love you, Luke.”

Every word she spoke from her heart. Her love shining bright and true through her eyes. I had never loved her more than in that moment.

"Do you Lukas Sandström, accept Alexandra Sloane as your life mate and one true love, promising to share in all that life offers and suffers, to be there for her in times of plenty, as well as times of need, to soothe her in times of pain, and to support her in all endeavors, big and small, for as long as you both shall live?"

“I do,” I vowed proudly.

Never taking my eyes off Alex, nothing else existed but her. For the next week she was all mine, and I was going to ravish and spoil her. After our honeymoon, she’d never have a doubt in her mind how special she was to me.

“Luke, I give you this ring as a symbol of my love. As it encircles your finger, may it remind you always that you are surrounded by my enduring love. "

"And now, by the power vested in me by the State of Hawaii, I hereby pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss your bride."

Everyone cheered and clapped. I only had eyes for my bride as I swept her up in my arms and our lips melded together. Her mouth opened as I dipped her, my tongue stroked against hers. It was easy to get lost in Alex, but I had to keep some composure and not ravish her in front of everyone.

Standing up, I stood her on her feet. Her eyes glazed over in lust and love. “Let’s do this.”
