Fuck rules, I kissed her.
The registrar cleared her throat and when I pulled back she kicked off the ceremony. We'd chosen to stick with the words provided - and when I said we I meant she - because after telling her how I felt through karaoke she didn't trust me not to embarrass her again. Smart girl. She'd also vetted my speech.
The ceremony seemed to take no time at all. We had no extras, no songs or readings, so in less than twenty minutes we were married and I was kissing my wife. Tegan put her hand on my chest to push me away and copped a feel at the same time. That's my wife!
I tucked her under my arm as the registrar announced we were Mr and Mrs Chambers and the applause lasted until we'd left the room. Nothing had ever felt as good as when she was announced as my wife. I felt safe, happy and secure. As long as I had her we'd be fine. Whatever the world lobbed at us we'd get through it together.
"What do we do now?" I asked, kissing her. I knew we had to have a million photos taken before we got fed but I wasn't sure where all that was happening and where we needed to be. All I wanted was to go to our room and peel that white dress off her.
"Gardens for drinks and photos," she replied, leaning into me. "I could really do with a drink right now."
"Drowning your sorrows already, baby?" I asked, tightening my arms around her.
Biting her lip, she nodded. "Mmm hmm."
I was about to kiss her again but people wanted to fucking congratulate us. It felt like an eternity before we got any time alone again. After photos we talked to our guests and then we were called for dinner. But as everyone chatted among themselves I managed to throw my arm over her chair and speak to her in private.
"I want to get married again," she said. She looked so happy it made my heart ache.
"Can you at least wait until this one is over?"
She pouted. "I'm not sure, I loved marrying you."
"Are you getting all mushy on me?"
"I think so. Payback for your romantic proposal," she replied against my lips, making my dick stand to attention. "Do you have a problem with that?"
"Not as long as you still want me to do all those things to you that makes you scream and turns you into a nympho."
Her eyes blistered. "I'll always want you to do that."
"Good, then you can say whatever the hell you want."
She smiled. "I love you, Kai."
"Back atcha, princess."
"This should wrap up in about ten minutes, want to spend the two hours between now and the evening making me scream?"
I cleared my throat. "You're sitting on my lap and I'm doing that thing with my fingers."
Raising her eyebrow, she replied, "Oh, I know you are."
