�This evening has been special, as our life has been.  I can�t imagine loving anyone else, holding anyone else in my arms.  I can picture what Heaven is when I�m with you.  Theresa, you have a hold on my heart like one else does.  And I�m not sure I would want anyone to hold on it anyways.  I�m asking you,� I said, sliding the box out of my pocket and opening it up, �would you be mine in God�s eyes.  I�m asking you to love me and trust me and together we can build our world.�  She wiped the tears away and smiled.
�No, cause we already have our perfect world.  But, yes, in God�s eyes, I will be yours.�  I stood up and slipped the ring on her finger.


I couldn�t help but let the tears flow.  Ten months ago, I never thought I would be saying yes to anyone.  Let alone falling in love with someone who was kind, and wonderful, and perfect.  I stared at the small ruby, crying more at how well he knew me.  His thumb brushed away the tears and his hand softly cupped my cheek.
�I love you more than words can ever say,� he whispered.
�Than don�t say it, show it.�  With every part of my soul that loved him, I mustered it into this one kiss.  His lips softly brushed mine, making it feel like nothing more than an Angel�s kiss.  His arms tightened around my waist as his lips captured mine, held me spell bound.  His kiss was nothing I had tasted before.  My mind lost all thought, my heart lost all emotion, my body lost all its gravity and rested solely against his.  My hands ran themselves over his back, forgetting for a few brief moments where we were.  But at that moment, all I wanted was him, screw the world and what they saw.  Within his embrace, with his lips tantalizing mine, with his hands caressing my body, I wanted nothing more than to be in a bed with him.

All thoughts flew out when her arms held on to me so tightly.  It�s with this kiss that I knew my forever was with her.  That I wasn�t whole till I was one with her.  After years, it felt like, we pulled away, each of us gasping for breath, yet never leaving that warm embrace.  I rested my forehead against hers and all to sudden, the reality had come back to us.  We were out here, on the patio of this restaurant, where everyone was currently looking at us.  I smiled and saw the blush deepen on her cheeks.  How lovely she looked like that.
�We better head home.�  She smiled and nodded her head.
�It�s been perfect Howie.�  I grasped her hand a placed a soft kiss on the palm.
�You make it perfect.�

~*~ You are the love of my life/ And I'm so glad you found me/ You are the love of my life/ Baby put your arms around me/ I guess this is how it feels/ When you finally find something real/ My angel in the night/ You are my love/ Love of my life ~*~

�Eh, you�re so romantic sometimes.�
�And you damn well know you like it.�
�Please, it gets so annoying.�  She rolled her eyes and changed the channel on the car radio.
�You nervous?�
�Over what, marrying you?  Please Howie, we�ve been together now for over three years.�
�Yes, but this is the final step.  There�s no turning back.�  She swallowed and turned her eyes on him.
�And I want this final step.�  Her hand found his in the car as they headed to the dinner.  Their friends thought it was wise to have a dinner for them before they headed to the alter.  No special things on this night.  He brought his lips to hers and sung along with the radio that was playing their song.  Or so faith thought it was.


~*~ You are the love of my life/ And I'm so glad you found me/ You are the love of my life/ Baby put your arms around me/ I guess this is how it feels/ When you finally find something real/ My angel in the night/ You are my love/ My angel in the night/ You are my love/ Love of my life ~*~

I clutched the roses in my hands, letting out so many breaths at once.
�Stop, you�ll be fine.�
�It�s my wedding day.  It�s here.  Three years and it�s here.�  They laughed and fixed my dress.
�You�ve waited a long time to find you�re prince, Theresa.�  I smiled and stared at my friends.
�I have a confession.�  I looked at Shannon and she smiled.  �Remember the day Howie called you?�  I thought back and nodded my head.  �I gave him your number.�  My eyes opened wide and I stared at her.
�And I gave him your last name.�  I turned around and stared at Terri.
�Why?�
�Because you needed a man like him in your life.�  I stared at her and than at Terri and nodded my head.
�Thank you.�  They gave me one more hug before we walked out to stand in place.


I took a deep breath and held her hand within mine.  We were both scared and it was funny for we had been together for so long that this would be nothing.  She stared into my eyes before uttering the vows she had made for me.  My heart twisted in my chest as she started to speak.
�Many, many months ago, I thought I could live without you, live without anyone in my life.  And you wouldn�t back down, you just kept on me, thinking and believing that I was your only one.  Now, after three years, I can only say thank you, for you mean more to me than I can ever express.  And I love you more than I can ever show you.�  I wiped the tears away and smiled.  I took a deep breath and thought back over the three years and what to say.  Than it came to my mind that the only thing was always around, a song.  It was on the night I left the club, it was on the radio when I called her, it was on when were dancing, and it was on last night.
�Theresa, I want to express my love the best way I can, and I think this is the only way. You are the love of my life, and I'm so glad you found me, you are the love of my life, baby put your arms around me, I guess this is how it feels, when you finally find something real my angel in the night, you are my love, love of my life.�
