Elizabeth smiled broadly at the Parson. “Yes sir, I am,” she looked up at Robert, hugging herself a bit closer to him. She felt a bit light headed, but only because this was happening so fast. She smiled brightly at the Parson, and winked to show she understood his concern, but was more than capable of handling her own.
She saw the merry smirk on his face as he shrugged and gestured them into the humble Church. It was nothing like the cathedrals in Boston, but it suited this tiny town, and more importantly it suited Robert. She stood before him, her hands placed lightly in his, as the Parson recited his lines and asked her to do the same.
She hadn’t thought of a ring, and frowned, just a smidge. Robert, she didn’t expect to wear one, but she would have to look at getting one for her own finger, a symbol that this time she’d be damn proud to wear. It didn’t take long until she was lost listening to Robert recite his lines after the Parson, she gently squeezed his hands as gazed lovingly at him. It was the most beautiful sound to her ears when he said “I do”.
The next most promising ones were “You may now kiss your bride.”
She had never anticipated a kiss so much as she did this one.
