Page 58 of Aria De Luca
Fucking perfect for me.
"Aria, would you like to start?" The priest looks at Aria and she smiles and looks at me.
"Ace De Luca."
"Amore," I smirk.
She smiles and takes a deep breath. "My tormentor, my love, my light, my savior, my enemy. God, first thing I want to say is that I love you. Unconditionally and forevermore. I love you with all of my heart and I always will. Through your bad times and your good. I promise to love you through everything no matter what. You made me feel things that I never thought I would feel again and I couldn't be more grateful to be able to have you in my arms every single night. Just knowing that you love me is enough to make me happy for a lifetime," she says and a small tear slips from her eye. "I will never forget the day I met you. Obviously, I knew you were attractive but your personality was becoming an addiction as I started to talk to you more. I always want to be around you and I'm grateful to have the chance to call you mine," Aria smiles at me before looking at Thalia. "And I couldn't be more grateful to have Thalia in my life. I'm happy that you are her father because I know in my heart I can trust you with everything. I don’t know if we will be perfect parents, I know we will probably be fighting and our kids will end up hating us but at least we are all together. I know you're going to try and be such an amazing father to her and to the rest of our children because I know that we will probably be having more," she laughs and I can't help but smile at her.
"Definitely."
"I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you, Ace. It's all been leading to this," she finishes and wipes a tear from her cheek.
"Ace.” The priest looks at me.
I clench and unclench my hands before taking a deep breath.
"Aria White. You are by far one of my best mistakes," I start. "I don't think I have ever met someone who I wanted to love so deeply and so dangerously while also kill sometimes. You make me want to live longer and do better. I told you a while ago that I didn't want to be a lion living in a cage and you never once made me feel like that. With you, I can be myself and I like how you are the one thing I can't control and that's what I think I love the most about you. I have never once felt unsure about you. The first day I saw you I smiled. I actually smiled for the first time in years. I smiled because I loved how you argued and stood up for yourself with your smart mouth to my workers. I already knew that I was going to have fun with you. And though there have been hard times through the years, I have loved you entirely and it feels like a drug, an addiction to love you. I would fucking kill for you Aria, anything you ask of me, I will do it." I feel a tear fall from my eye but I ignore it. I take a deep breath. "I always thought that love was a fucking menace. But when I met you, everything changed. Thank you for giving me a beautiful daughter and for making me smile again. I can't be more grateful to call you mine. It's all been leading to this." I finish.
"Beautiful," the priest says. "Can we please have the rings?" I turn my head and look at Ariel who is holding the rings. She blushes and gives the rings to the priest. "Now you're going to put these rings on one another's fingers to ensure love and commitment," the priest tells us what to say before handing me one of the rings.
I had Aria’s engagement ring remade since hers was missing the diamond.
"I, Ace De Luca, give you, Aria White, this ring as an eternal symbol of my love and commitment to you," I say while sliding the ring onto Aria's finger before kissing the ring while looking up at her.
She smiles and then takes the ring from the priest. "I, Aria White, give you Ace De Luca, this ring as an eternal symbol of my love and commitment to you," she says while smiling up at me.
I can't help but smile back at her.
"By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife," he looks at me. "You may now kiss your bride."
I don't waste a second before sliding my hands on her hips and pulling her closer to me and pressing my lips on hers.
"Is this a dream?" Aria asks while kissing me.
I smile against her lips. "No,amore. You're officially Aria De Luca."

Aceand I walk down the aisle to greet our family and friends.
"Hurt my sister and I'll kill you," Alex says first to Ace.
"Relax, Alex. Your father already gave me that threat. Find a better one," Ace says.
I laugh at Alex and hug him.
"Stop being so mean, Alex."
He just chuckles mumbling 'never'.
I roll my eyes and release him from the hug.
We have to take some pictures before going to the reception, so we do. I take a picture with all the girls and all the boys. We take individual pictures and partner pictures. It takes about an hour or two.
After the pictures, we all arrive at the reception dinner. It's beautiful and everything is in its perfect setting. Just how I imagined it.
Ace and I sit at our table which is in front of everyone. Ace has Thalia in his arms as we start to listen to the speeches.
