The bridal march began to play and the doors were opened. The kids began to walk down the aisle, the girls dropping flowers and the boys trying to hold the pillows. Then they rose as Belle and John stood at the entrance. Belle looked at her father one more time before they started down the aisle. “Ready to give me away daddy?”
“Never sweetie. Never.” He said as a lump formed in his throat and they began to walk down the aisle.
Belle saw Shawn and smiled as he stared at her with tears in his eyes. When they reached him her father partially lifted her veil and kissed her cheek. “I love you Isabella Grace.” He then turned to Shawn. “Be good to her.” And with that he handed over his baby girl and stood back.
“Dearly beloved, we are gathered here together here in the sight of God to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony. If any man can show just cause why they may not lawfully be joined together, let him now speak, or else hereafter for ever hold his peace.” The minister waited a moment before continuing. “Shawn Douglas, wilt thou have this woman to thy wedded wife? To live together after God’s ordinance in the holy estate of matrimony? Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honor and keep her in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all others, keep thee only unto her, so long as ye both shall live?”
Shawn looked into Belle’s deep blue eyes. “ I will.”
The minister smiled and turned to Belle. “Isabella Grace, wilt thou have this man to thy wedded husband? To live together after God’s ordinance in the holy estate of matrimony? Wilt thou love him, comfort him, honor and keep him in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all others, keep thee only unto him, so long as ye both shall live?”
Belle smiled through her impending tears. “I will.”
“Who giveth this woman to be married to this man?”
John swallowed the lump in his throat. “Her mother and I.” He replied and then went to sit beside Marlena, taking her hand in his.
“Shawn Douglas repeat after me. I Shawn Douglas take thee Isabella Grace to my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, til death do us part, according to God’s holy ordinance; and thereto I plight thee my troth.”
Shawn nodded “I Shawn Douglas take thee Isabella Grace to my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, til death do us part, according to God’s holy ordinance; and thereto I plight thee my troth.”
“Now Isabella Grace please repeat after me. I Isabella Grace take thee Shawn Douglas to my wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, til death do us part, according to God’s holy ordinance; and thereto I give thee my troth.”
Belle gently brushed the tears from her cheeks and began. “I Isabella Grace take thee Shawn Douglas to my wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, til death do us part, according to God’s holy ordinance; and thereto I give thee my troth.”
The reverend then took the rings from Rex. “Shawn place this ring on Isabella’s finger and repeat after me. With this ring I thee wed: In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, Amen.”
Shawn took the tiny gold band and placed slid it onto her finger. “With this ring I thee wed: In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, Amen.”
“Now Isabella take this ring, place it on Shawn’s finger and repeat after me. With this ring I thee wed: In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, Amen.”
Belle took the larger of the bands and placed it on Shawn’s finger. “With this ring I thee wed: In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, Amen.”
“Those whom God hath joined together let no man put asunder. For as much as Shawn and Isabella have consented together in holy wedlock, and have witnessed the same before God and this company, and thereto have given and pledged their troth, each to the other, and have declared the same by giving and receiving a ring and by joining hands. I now pronounce them man and wife. In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.” He smiled at the young couple. “You may now kiss your bride.”
Shawn grinned from ear to ear as he lifted the veil and pulled Belle into their first kiss as husband and wife.
When they broke apart they joined hands and turned to face the crowd. “It’s my privilege to introduce to you Mr. And Mrs. Shawn Douglas Brady.” The minister announced.
Everyone in the packed church stood and cheered as the couple made their way back down the aisle hand in hand. When they were outside Shawn scooped Belle up into another kiss. “I love you so much Isabella Brady.”
“I love you too Shawn Brady.”
Daniella spotted them and made a beeline for them. “Daddy!!” She cried as she jumped into his waiting arms.
“Hey princess. You look beautiful.”
“Tank you.” She said as she kissed his cheek. “I hungy.”
“Well then let’s go to the reception so you can eat.” Belle said and with that they got into the limo and headed off to Tuscany.
“Never sweetie. Never.” He said as a lump formed in his throat and they began to walk down the aisle.
Belle saw Shawn and smiled as he stared at her with tears in his eyes. When they reached him her father partially lifted her veil and kissed her cheek. “I love you Isabella Grace.” He then turned to Shawn. “Be good to her.” And with that he handed over his baby girl and stood back.
