steve was standing with one of his 4 brothers, Liam, in a small clearing in the woods. The clearing was hidden by trees and leaves so no1 could see in and Liam is helping steve tie his bowtie because he is steve's best man because he is steve's favorite older brother.
Liam finishes tying the tie and give steve a pat on the shoulder.
"Im glad i could be here for you on your big day steve! im so happy for you" liam said.
"Thanks, im a little nervous though" steve admits.
"don't worry that's perfectly normal, when i married Sal i was shaking i was so nervous but here i am 5 yrs later and ive nevr regretted marrying him!" liam says.
Steve's youngest brother, James, poked his head through the leaves hiding the clearing.
"hey, uh, that one guy, uhh, whats his name, yknow,,,," James trails off.
"the minister?" liam attempts to finish.
"yeah, that guy, he said that steve should finish up and come into the wedding area within the next 5 minutes or so," james said.
"great, he'll be ready by then." liam says and then shoos james away.
"do i look okay??" stevs asks nervouslt.
"this is the best i've ever seen you, say, did you shower for once?" liam jokes.
Steve halfheartedly shoves him, "oh shut up."
"im only being honest," liam says.
"i guess we should head out there now," steve says.
so they both head out to where the wedding is set up in front of a cave opening and they take their places next to the minister.
steve stands there, figdgeting with his tuxedo jacket sleeve when he suddenly hears Strad begin to play and thats when he sees beautiful Alex beginning to walk down the aisle with her stunning wedding dress trailing behind her and all of his anxieties wash away.
------------
Alex slowly begins to make her way up towards steve, who looked exceedingly handsome in his tux. She was walking down the aisle alone, many of steve's family members offered to walk her down but she refused, telling them that it just didn't feel right.
As Alex walled further down the aisle she paused for a minute because she saw a face in the crowd of guests that she hadn't seen in a long time.
"Abigail?" she whispered.
That's when the familiar girl slowly stood up, it was Alex's older sister.
the girls stepped towards each other before reuniting with a hug.
"it's good to see you again, little sis" abigail spoke quietly.
"Abi, will you walk me down the aisle?" Alex asks, her eyes filling witt teaes
"of course i will" Abigail replaies and the two women walk down the aisle to their spots next to the boys and the minister.
Alex looks at steve and mouths the words, "did you do this?"
Steve smiles and gives her a small nod.
then the minister begins to speak, "Welcome, family and loved ones. We are gathered here today, surrounded by the beauty of creation and nurtured by the sights and sounds of nature to celebrate the joining of Steve Mine and Alex Craft in marriage. Now, before they are wed, are there any objections?"
All of the guests are silent.
"Wonderful, then we shall get started," the minister sayid, "Steve and Alex , please join hands, look at one another now and remember this moment in time. Will you, Steve, keep Alex as your favorite person - to laugh with her, go on adventures with her, support her through life's tough moments, be proud of her, grow old with her, and find new reasons to love her every day?"
"I do," Steve says, tears of joy forming in his eyes.
The minister continued, "And Will you, Alex, keep Steve as your favorite person - to laugh with him, go on adventures with him, support him through life's tough moments, be proud of him, grow old with him, and find new reasons to love him every day?"
"I do," Alex said while gazing into the eyes of her beloved.
"Will you, Steve and Alex, be each other's partners from this day forward? Will you bring out the best in one another, share your happiest moments together, and love each other absolutely - for the rest of this lifetime and for whatever may come next?" The minister asked.
Steve and Alex looked at each other lovingly before looking at the minister and saying in unison, "We do."
Then James carries the rings up to the couple and the minister continues to talk, "You've both chosen to wear rings as a reminder of these promises."
Steve and Alex pick up the huge, glittering, diamond rings and slip them onto each other's fingers.
"Steve and Alex, you have come here today of your own free will and in the presence of family and loved ones, have declared your love and commitment to each other. You have given and received rings as a symbol of your promises. By the power of your love and commitment to each other, and by the power vested in me by the Overworld Marriage Ministries, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now seal your vows with a kiss," the minister continues.
Steve and Alex fall into a loving kiss with their new spouse. When they break free from each other the minister finishes, "Congratulations. Family and loved ones, I now present to you the newly married couple and . Let's hear it for 'em!"
All of the guests erupt into cheers as Steve and Alex stand hand in hand at the alter.
"I love you, Alex," Steve says over the cheers.
"I love you, Steve," Alex replies before kissing Steve once again.
