The Wedding - [The Courtship Series #10]

Transcript

Sweetheart, can I come in? I know, I know you're in the wedding dress, but it's okay. It's not bad luck.

Maybe that's a myth. If you're really that concerned about it, I can close my eyes or I can walk in backwards or. ..

I don't care. Well, I was asked to come talk to you. Come on, sweetheart, let me in.

So what's up? Baby, look at me. Who am I? Yes, yes, I know my name.

Don't be difficult. You know what I'm asking. Who am I? That's right, I'm your best friend and your lover.

That's right. And I'm the man you're going to make your husband. You can trust me.

You do trust me. I don't think it's silly at all. I don't know what it is, but I can tell you I don't think it's silly.

Because I love you. I know you. And if something's on your mind, I know it's real.

So come on, out with it. Yeah, I've seen how many there are. Sure.

And you thought having nerves before your wedding was silly? I guess that means I'm silly. I guess it means most people are silly.

It's okay. It's perfectly understandable to be nervous. Perfectly understandable to have nerves to be.

You know, this is, it's a big day. It's a big change. But I want you to think about who's out there.

All of those people out there, they're our friends and our family. They came here because they love us. Because they support us.

Because they want to see us start our life as husband and wife. Happily. Joyfully.

Successfully. Every one of those people down there, they're rooting for us. Right now, the only thing on their minds is how much they want us to be happy.

There's no judgment down there. Okay? There's only love.

You don't need to be worried about what they're going to think. Not one bit. Besides, I know you.

You're a strong lady. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And when you had to do that thing for work, and you were so nervous, and I.

.. I won't say I blew off your nerves, but I kind of said that you were making much ado about nothing. Remember that? Who was right? It's because you're strong.

You got to get out of your own head. That's the one thing you're doing wrong here. Get out of your head.

Put on your big girl wedding dress, or you already have. You're going to go down there. And you are going to have the most beautiful wedding that you could possibly have ever imagined.

Okay? You got this. I know, I know, I know.

I've seen you in the dress. It's okay. Besides, later on tonight I'm going to see you out of the dress, so.

.. You ready for this? You got this.

Okay, let's go. Baby, thank you so much. Everything you just said, that was.

.. That was beautiful. That was absolutely.

.. Breathtaking. I honestly don't know if I can follow that.

I honestly don't know if I can follow that. I know, I know. Well, I'm not sure if my words are going to be quite as polished as yours.

But I want you to know that every one of them comes from the heart. Alright, here we go. My love, the day we met started like any other.

I got up, went to work, and then enjoyed an evening out with my friends. I had no idea that the events that were set in motion that night would turn an ordinary day into one of the defining days of my life. And even then, so many things had to fall into place.

So many decisions had to be made. Any of which could have ended our journey before it even began. What if I had decided to stay home that night? What if Daryl hadn't dared me to get your number? What if I had walked away instead of asking for that first date? But I did.

I asked for that number. I asked for that date. And I began writing a new chapter in my life.

One date became two. Two became three. And before I knew it, I was falling in love.

I'd been in love before, but this? No, this was different. This was stronger and deeper, more beautiful and pure than anything I'd ever experienced.

My heart learned to feel and sense and grow in ways it never had before. And I came to realize that I'd found her. I'd found my special someone.

I'd found my twin flame. I'd found my forever love. I had found the woman I wanted to make my wife.

My darling, our journey has just begun, and already it's wonderful beyond my powers of description. I look forward to every day and what it will bring us. I hang on your every word.

I melt at your every touch. Your smile soothes and reassures me. And when I hold you in my arms, I feel like the whole world could collapse around me before I'd allow a single ounce of harm to come to you.

I live to love you and to serve you. I promise to support you and to love you forever and with no conditions. I will be your strength.

I'll be your rock. I'll be your fortress. I will be your refuge through the storms of this life.

I'll be your soft place to land in times of trouble. I'll be your biggest fan, your closest advisor, and your most trusted confidant.
