Forever You by Lynn, Sandi (e novels to read txt) 📕

write anything down because I didn’t have to. Every word I say to you is straight

from my heart and soul. I want to start off by saying that you are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever

seen, and you look absolutely stunning. I feel like I’m the luckiest man alive to have you in my life,

and not just as your best friend, but as your husband. You stole my heart from the moment you turned

around and looked at me. The moment I saw your smile, I knew I was done for, and everything I

thought I had believed in disappeared. You showed me love, and taught me that it was ok to love

someone. We grew together as friends and then as lovers. Now, we will grow together as husband

and wife. I promise to love you forever, and to never break your heart. I promise to keep you safe at

all times. I promise you a world of happiness and joy, and I promise to take away your pain and

sadness. You are my forever, Ellery Rose, and I love you more than words can express. You’ve been

etched into my heart, and my heart is yours till death do us part. I will never love anyone as much as I

love you.”

Henry pulled the ring from his pocket and handed it to me. All I could hear were the sniffles of the

guests as I slipped the delicate ring on her finger.

“Take this ring as a symbol of my eternal love for you and for the start of our new life together. I

love you, Ellery.” Tears fell down her face. I gently took my thumb and wiped them away as she said

her vows.

“Connor, you are the most amazing man that I’ve ever met. You stood by me, you fought for me, and

you gave me the strength to fight through one of the toughest times of my life. You never gave up on

me when you should have walked away. You believed in me and our relationship and I will never

forget that. You are a kind-hearted, self-less man, and I’m the luckiest woman in the world to have

found you. They say everyone is born with a purpose in this world. My purpose was to find you and

to love you.” She let go of my hands and turned up her wrists. “The scars are gone because of you,

and they’ve been replaced with love. You’ve put life back into my soul, and you’ve completed me. I

will forever cherish this moment, and I will spend eternity thanking you and loving you.”

Peyton handed her the ring. She took my finger and slowly slipped it on. “Take this ring as a

symbol of my love and devotion to you as we start our new life together as one.”

The minister smiled at us and he pronounced us husband and wife. I cupped her face in my hands as

we shared our first kiss as husband and wife. The crowd stood up and clapped. We heard cheering as

we turned and looked at the people who graciously attended our ceremony. I took her hand, and we

walked down the aisle as Mr. and Mrs. Black, stopping in front of the Vanderbilt gates.

“Hi, Mrs. Black,” I smiled as I softly kissed her lips.

“Hi, Mr. Black,” she smiled back.

Our moment alone didn’t last long as our guests soon followed. Waiters walked around with

glasses of champagne for everyone. After the photographer took pictures of us in the different

gardens, it was time to head to the reception. I took Ellery’s hand as we walked through the

Vanderbilt gates where our horse and carriage were waiting. I helped Ellery up into the carriage and

took my place beside her. We were taking a ride through Central Park for some alone time before

heading to the reception.

“Do you have any idea how beautiful you are?” I asked her as I stroked her cheek with my thumb.

“I do, because you tell me every day,” she smiled.

“And I will keep telling you every day because I love you, Mrs. Black. You are the most important

thing in my life, and that will never change.” I leaned closer and kissed her softly.

The reception took place in the Grand Ballroom at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. It was elegant as

700 people joined in the celebration in honor of our wedding day. We ate the finest food and drank

the most expensive alcohol. No expense was spared when it came to Ellery. We greeted our guests

and walked around the ballroom, engaging in conversation as people congratulated us with hugs and

kisses. The band announced that it was time for our first dance. I only asked for one thing while

planning this wedding and that was to pick our song. Ellery had agreed but threatened me that it better

be perfect. I told her to trust me because I already had the perfect song in mind.

I took her hand and led her to the dance floor as the song started. From the moment she heard the

first line,
