Chapter 82- Vows

“Graham Thompson, do you take Michelle Adams to be your one and only lawfully wedded wife forever and ever?” The marriage officiant at the courthouse asked Graham.

Graham’s eyes wandered around the hall. He looked at his father and Gerald nodded at him with a warm encouraging smile on his face.

The bride’s father, however, gave Graham a warning look. Richard reached for the inside of his jacket and slightly took out the pistol he had hidden in there. He didn’t expose it completely but it was enough to show Graham what would happen if he bolted from the wedding.

Beads of sweat appeared on Graham’s forehead. When Michelle said her father was strict, het didn’t believe it until now. The man was scary…

Graham returned his gaze to his bride and smiled apologetically at her. He didn’t want to have a rushed wedding but Richard didn’t want to take any chances. He wanted them married the next day.

Looking into Michelle’s grey eyes, Graham’s eyes watered with tears. She looked beautiful in at simple white classy knee-length dress. It was off-shoulder and cinched at the waist, showing off her trim figure, before flowing into a fuller skirt. There was a disc fascinator on the right side of her head with a small net covering a small part of her face and her hair was pulled back. in a low bun. She looked like a noblewoman from an aristocratic movie.

On her feet, she wore t-strap stiletto heels with gems embellishing the top of the straps. Her all-white outfit made her look incredible. The wedding was short notice but she managed to pull off the perfect civil wedding bridal look.

Graham was in his military ceremonial suit. He wore a black jacket with a white dress shirt underneath, dark blue slacks and a gold strip. He was oozing sophistication and the couple was emitting royal family vibes.

“I do,” Graham declared as a small smile crossed his lips.

The officiant then asked the bride, “Michelle Adams, do you take Graham Thompson to be your one and only lawfully wedded husband forever and ever?”

Michelle’s heart was racing as she agreed, “I do.”

The officiant proceeded to ask the couple to repeat after him one at a time. He began with the groom. While holding Michelle’s hand, Graham made his vows to her in the presence of their family and friends.

“Michelle Adams, I promise before these witnesses to love and care for you for all the days of our lives. I accept you for who you are… with all your imperfections and your strengths, even as I offer myself with my imperfections and strengths. I promise to support you and be there for you in every aspect of your life. I choose you, Michelle, as the one I want to spend the rest

of my life with,” Graham pledged.

Teary-eyed, Michelle said her vows while looking into Graham’s hazel eyes. After that, it was time to exchange the rings that were bought the previous night.

The officiant took the rings from Tony and gave one to Graham, saying, “Please place the ring on Michelle’s finger and say the following words….”

Graham held Michelle’s hand and caressed it gently. He glanced into her eyes and repeated after the officiant while carefully sliding the ring onto her finger. “With this ring, I thee wed.”

Michelle slid the ring on Graham’s finger and repeated the words he said. They stared at each. other and a strong passion burned in their eyes.

“By the authority vested in me by the state, I now pronounce you husband and wife!” The officiant announced and a round of applause erupted in the air. He then glanced at the groom. and said, “You may now kiss the bride.”
