strong and confident as he turned to look at me. The smile he gave me was brilliant and unlike in the dressing room, he didn’t try to hide the tear that fell.
“I love you so much.” His voice broke as he looked me in the eyes and then kissed my cheek.
I kissed him back and told him. “I love you, too, Daddy. Forever.” He placed my hand inside Eli’s and took his seat next to my mum, who was crying uncontrollably. I held on to Eli’s hands throughout the entire ceremony. I didn’t even hear half of what the registrar said. It wasn’t until Eli let go of my hand that I was snapped from his gaze. He pulled a crinkled piece of paper from his jacket pocket, and I eyed him suspiciously. Then he cleared his throat and spoke the most beautiful words I’d ever heard.
“Saffy, I promise to love you and cherish you for as long as we both shall live, but I want to promise you even more than that. I promise to always treat you like the queen you are. I promise to light up your world forever so there will never be a dark side. I promise to be your Earth, moon, and sun for as long as we’re both on this planet. I promise to listen to you when you talk, to help you when you ask, to wipe your tears when you cry, and to hold you as you fall asleep in my arms. I promise that I will support you and encourage you in anything you wish to do, and I promise to do this with a loving heart and open mind. You are my morning, noon, and night, and I promise that I will love you, unconditionally, forever.” I could hear sobs from behind me as my mother cried with joy.
Wow! What does one say to that? I didn’t know that we were writing our own vows, no one had told me. It was so typical of Eli to surprise me. There was only one thing I could do to surprise him. Originally, I was going to wait until we were alone but I was already too excited. Taking a deep breath and with shaking legs and tears filling my eyes, I said,
“Elias, from the very first moment I saw you I knew that one day I would be standing here making these vows. There was never anyone else, and there never will be. You’re my sunlight in every photo, my start of every sentence, and I promise to always love you.” He smiled at me as I paused, and the registrar opened his mouth to continue the ceremony. Holding up my hand to stop him, I gripped Eli’s hand tighter. “I will always love you, but I need to take a little piece of my heart and give it to someone else.” His eyebrows creased in confusion, and I heard mumbled voices behind me from the crowd. “I need to share it with our son or daughter.” My mother let out a sound that I could never describe as Elias smiled widely and scooped me up, swinging me from side to side.
“You’re pregnant?” I had missed my period the week before and decided it was time to do a test yesterday. I had sat in the bathroom praying that it was positive. I’d planned to present the stick to him on the wedding night but after hearing those words I couldn’t keep it in any longer.
“I am,” I replied with the biggest grin on my bright red lips.
“Holy shit, I’m gonna be a dad!” He pumped his fist into the air and jumped up and down before turning back to the registrar. “Can we hurry this shit on, I need to kiss my new wife.” I giggled as we exchanged the rings and were pronounced man and wife. Eli dipped me low, kissing me deeply as people cheered and whooped behind us.

Eli drew circles on my naked stomach as we lay in bed that night. We had booked in to Forest Farm, and even had the same room we stayed in during our first time.
“Did you enjoy the party?” He asked, my legs still trembling from the orgasm he’d just given me.
“It was perfect. The best day of my life.” He leaned over and kissed my smiling lips.
“I can make it even better,” he murmured against my lips.
“You want to go again?”
“I want to spend as much time inside my wife as possible.” I could feel the smile
