"Mah are you telling me that Alex is here, that he has planned our entire wedding for us and that it is today?" Keavy asked her mother increduously.

"Aiye, yes I am." Mrs O'Carroll handed the letter to Keavy "This will explain it all"

Emerald,

I couldn't go another day without having you as my wife. I thought and long and hard about this after you left to go home and I dcided that there is no need to wait. We know that we are meant to be together so why delay the obvious.

I hope that tonight is the wedding that you dreamed about as a little girl, it will be magical. I cannot wait to see you walk down the aisle and know that in a matter of moments we will be bonded for life.

You are the woman I dreamed of all my life and I cannot wait to lay my lips on yours for the first time as my wife. I will love you forever.

Always

~Alex

Keavy wiped the tears from her eyes "Well mah help me get ready, I have a wedding to star in"

I fiddled with my tuxedo as I watched my best friends get ready. Nicky was having a hard time getting the ascot to lie straight and as usual Howie was fixing each strand of his hair, making sure that his curls were oh so perfect. Brian and Kevin were dressed and practicing the song that I had written for keavy and would have them help me sing. I wasn't nervous, to be honest nothing ever felt as right as this wedding did. I was anxious, anxious to see Keavy sweep down the aisle on her father's arm, anxious to hear her promise to love me forever and to slip the band on her finger and breathless knowing that in mere moments I would marry the world's 9th wonder of the world, the shining star I had wished for all my life. I smiled when my mother walked in, she looked so happy and beautiful. "I love you momma"

"I love you too baby boy and I am so proud of you" My mother hugged me tight.

"Have you seen her yet mom?"

"She looks radiant, the vision of the perfect bride, she is happy, excited and ready to marry you" My mother held out a slip of paper and left me alone to read it.

Yank,

You have surprised me again, I cannot beleive that I will soon be your wife.. I never thought that a tattooed american would come into boring Ireland and sweep me off my feet. I love you more then this letter or my words could ever tell you.

Each time my lips touch yours or my hands reach for yours know that I am falling in love with you more each time. I cannot wait to feel your bare skin against mine and feel your love inside of me. I have waited my entire life for this moment and now it is here.

Our love is forever Alex

~Keavy

I smiled at my friends and my family who were watching me cry like a little boy who had been denied his favourite toy and I smiled "Let's make this love affair official shall we?"
