Chapter 172 Passion that love demands

"We are so sorry for the inconvenience. Shall we come back later?" asked Graham and Bella was quick to respond," Not at all. It was just a peck." "It didn't seem like a peck at all," Graham said again making her blush. Luna walked to the baby and carried him from the crib before scolding them," You wouldn't have done that in the presence of baby Morgan." "We are so sorry. We got carried away," said Ethan.

Time passed, weeks and months went by in a flash. In a large hall, family and friends had gathered to celebrate the beautiful union of Bella Edwards and Ethan Carter.

When told to say their vows, Ethan looked at her and said," When I first met you, I didn't know that I could love you this much! How lucky am I to call you mine? Your love and trust makes me a better person, each and everyday of my life. For all those times that we've been together, there's always been a mutual understanding that's only shared when two people love each other truly. Today, sorrounded by all our loved ones, I choose you to be my darling wife. I vow to always protect you from harm, to stand with you against your troubles. I promise to be faithful and supportive and to always make our family's love and happiness my priority. I will be yours in plenty and in want, in sickness and in health, in failure and in triumph, I will dream with you, celebrate with you and walk beside you through whatever our lives will bring.

Bella Edwards, I love you. With you I can make the most of my days. You're everything I've ever dreamed of and everything I will ever need. You have brought such joy to my life. Our love for each other is heaven sent. Thank you for loving me as I am and taking me into your heart. I promise to encourage you in all that you do. I will take time to listen to you, to care for you and to fight for you. Today, I join my life to yours, not simply as your husband, but as your best friend, lover and biggest supporter. Let me be the shoulder you lean on and the companion of your life. I pledge today to have all the patience and passion that love demands." By the time Ethan finished, Bella was crying and they had to first give her some time to compose herself. Luna gave her a handkerchief and whispered," Calm down, it's a happy day." "I know. I'm just so happy," she replied. When she composed herself, she looked at him and said," You are my dream come true, and I can't wait for the reality we get to build together. I love you with all my heart with a passion that can't be expressed in words, only in kisses, glances and years of adventure by your side. I love you more fiercely with every second that slips through our hands. I promise to be your guiding light in the darkness, a warming comfort in the cold and shoulder to lean on.

I promise to be your navigator, best friend and supporting wife. I pledge to honor, cherish and love you more through all life adventures. I choose you as my husband every day we wake. I will love you in word and deed. I will laugh with you, cry with you, scream with you, grow with you and craft with you. To be your kin and your partner in life is all I could hope for in this world. Loving what I know of you and trusting what I don't yet know. I give you my love, myself, the bad, the good and the yet to come. You love and complete me in ways I never thought were possible. I promise to be there to catch you if you stumble, carry you over every threshold and fall in love with you everyday." Luna's eyes fell on Graham who smiled and winked at her making her blush. After the wedding, Bella made her way to her kids who were in the carriages and carried them both. They giggled upon seeing her and she smiled at them in return.

A while later, people started congratulating them. Abigail and Ciara were also present.

The celebration was taken to the Carter mansion. "I can't believe that I'm Bella Carter from now on," she told Luna who was helping her change. "The same way I felt too. The feeling is just incredible," she said. Turning to look at her, she said," You know what makes me happy the most? The fact that we both met our men because of each other. I met Ethan because of you and you met Graham because of that trip I sent you to." Luna had never thought about it but when Bella said it, she smiled in realisation. That is true.
