*Okay…since PC stole the wedding idea from me, they won't mind if I borrow from them either lol…I really like the vows that Rafe and Alison said on the show, and I don't think I could write anything that is better than that, so some of what you read will sound familiar.

Alison and Rafe had planned for the ceremony to be pretty informal, but both decided that they wanted to do a little preparing for it first. After all, they were getting married.

Alison had a white dress that she planned to wear. It wasn't exactly a wedding dress, but it would work for the occasion. She left her hair down but gave her tresses a little bounce with the help of a curling iron.

Rafe decided to wear the tuxedo that he had wore at Kevin and Lucy's wedding. He took a deep breath as he sat on the couch. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a folded pieced of paper. His vows. He read them once more to make sure he would remember them.

"Rafe?"

Rafe turned around to see Alison standing in the doorway. "So beautiful. You're so beautiful."

Alison smiled. "Am I a blushing bride?" She laughed.

"I have something for you." Rafe got up and picked up a bouquet of pink roses. "These are for you."

"Aww, Rafe. They're beautiful. When did you get these?"

"A few minutes ago. When you were getting ready, I ran out real quick to the florist down the street. When she saw how I was dressed, she knew it was a special occasion. Every bride should have flowers on her wedding day."

"They're lovely."

"Well, are you ready?"

Alison shook her head yes. "A bit nervous though. We're getting married."

Rafe kissed her on the cheek. Then, he took her arm and they left the house.

~*~*~*~

Alison gasped when she walked into the church on Rafe's arm. White candles were everywhere, giving the whole room a romantic glow.

"Did you do this?"

Rafe shook his head no. "Come on," he said.

Together, Rafe and Alison walked up the aisle. When they reached the end, Rafe took hold of Alison's hands. "Me first?" he asked.

Alison shook her head shyly.

Rafe cleared his throat. "I came here an angel, blessed with an angel's powers. But I will leave here a man much more blessed by your love. People say, you know, that there's only angels in heaven, but I've been here and there and I know better. See, angels live in the hearts of those who dare to love. And how lucky am I to meet the most incredible angel of all." Rafe brought her hands to his mouth and kissed them.

Alison blushed. "Rafe," she whispered.

"People spend forever searching and looking, on a journey to nowhere. And you know what? I guess that could've been me, except I found you. And now I know that my journey began and is going to end with you. Alison Barrington, I promise that I will carry our love with me forever. We will be joined together as one for now and into eternity."

"Rafe, you've touched and changed my life in so many ways. I don't think many people can say that they've met their own person guardian angel. That's what you are to me, my guardian angel. I know you said that wasn't exactly your job, but that's what you'll always be to me. You've taught me so much about life and love, and I'll never forget it. Rafe Kovich, I promise to carry your love with me forever. And my heart and soul now belongs to you from now through eternity."

"And now, under the eyes of God, we belong to each other."

"Now you may kiss your bride."

Rafe and Alison smiled at each other and shared their first kiss as husband and wife.

~*~*~*~

Alison laughed loudly outside the door. "Don't drop me!"

Rafe managed to get the door open. "I'm carrying you over the threshold!" Once inside the house, he kicked the door closed with his foot. He carried her to the bedroom, kissing her the whole time. Rafe laid Alison on the bed and fell over her, kissing her lips, then moving on to her neck. Even as he took off his jacket, his lips never left her.

"Rafe…" she whispered

"I love you so much…" he said breathlessly.

"Rafe, something…" Alison couldn't concentrate on what she was saying, but she knew something was different.

"What?" Rafe asked, kissing her neck.

Alison's hand roamed over the bed until it touched something silky. Rose petals. "Did you do this?"

Rafe tore his lips away from her to look at what Alison was talking about. Pink rose petals were scattered everywhere on the bed and on the floor. Then, Rafe and Alison noticed that candles were lit…but who had lit them? And there was soft music playing in the background, but who had turned on a CD?

"What's that?" Alison asked, pointing to the dresser.

Rafe got up from the bed and walked over there. It was champagne.

"Where did this come from? Did you do all of this?"

Rafe saw a card by the champagne and he read it. "Ed."

"Who's Ed?"

"He's my boss. I'm sort of like the son he never had. He did this for us. This explains all of the strange occurrences we've had lately."

"What's the card say?"

"It just says 'To the Newlyweds…Ed'." Rafe took out the bottle of champagne and uncorked it. There were two champagne glasses sitting on the dresser. Rafe poured them each a glass.

Alison got up from the bed and Rafe handed a glass to her.

Rafe gave Alison that smile of his. "To my wife, who is the most beautiful angel of all."

"And to my husband, who taught me to believe that anything is possible if you just believe in love."

They clinked their glasses together and took a sip of the champagne. Then, Alison took Rafe's glass away and set his and hers back on the dresser. "You know, it was really nice of your boss Ed to do this for us, but you know what? I don't want to drink champagne now."

"Oh no?"

Alison shook her head no. She ran her fingers along his chest and undid a few buttons. When a little of his chest was revealed, Alison took hold of the chain around his neck, yanked it gently, and brought Rafe's face to hers. She kissed him.

Rafe picked Alison up and carried her to the bed once again…

~*~*~*~

Alison nestled against Rafe's chest after they made love. She played with his chain again, and Rafe played with her hair, twirling it around his finger.

"My wife…that really has a nice ring to it."

Alison laughed. "Yes, it does. This has been like, the best day of my life."

"Really?"

Alison looked up at Rafe. "Yes, really." She touched his chin. "My husband…oh, I love you so much."

Rafe smiled at her and they kissed. Then, he went back to holding Alison in his arms and they fell asleep.
