From there, I hold her hands, and we get married. As soon as I am told I can kiss her, I grab her upper arms on each side and slam my lips to hers. I kiss her with such force it pushes her head back slightly, and our noses smash together. After I pull back, I look down at her.
“Holy shit! We are married!”
With a big smile on her face, Ashlynn says, “Yes, we are!”
We turn to our friends, who all stand up to clap, when suddenly Ashlynn and I are squished together from behind. We both look over our shoulders, and it is Nick who is hugging us and yells, “It’s about damn time!” After Nick steps away from Ashlynn and I, everybody starts to enjoy the evening and cocktails.
I grab Ashlynn's hand and go inside for our first private moment as a married couple. Gently kissing her forehead, I look into her eyes that have unshed tears.
“I can’t believe I get to spend my life with you.” I tell her. She smiles so big, gives me a gentle kiss and says, “I love you always.”
Our eyes lock and I tell her, “Always, Always.”
