The big day had come at last. Everything seemed merrier that day. The doves that soared through the crisp, morning, sky seemed a bit brighter. The sun seemed to shine especially bright that day. Jason looked at himself in the mirror, adjusting his bowtie. His black hair had been well combed and now it shone brightly like the feathers of a wet raven in the sun. Scott, Trent, Jordan, and Charles walked in through the door. Scott, Jason's best man walked up to Jason. "You ready?" he asked. Jason smiled, "You guys are awesome," he said, "I've known you all since I was in high school, and now you all are here on my wedding day. It's just....wow." Everyone came up to Jason and wished him luck. "It's time to go, groom boy," Trent said, leading Jason outside. Jason took a deep breath of the winter air. The ground was covered in sleek snow that sparkled like crystals in the sun. Everyone was taking their seats as Jason walked up beside the priest. Jason anxiously looked over at the natural archway made of trees, waiting for Monica to come from there. After a few minutes of waiting, the organ began playing and everyone looked down the aisle. Monica, accompanied by her father, walked down the aisle. Jason sighed softly; Monica looked so beautiful. Her hair had been carefully and neatly done. The veil covered her eyes, but nothing could hide her radiant smile. She looked like a snow queen; her white dress fit with the snow perfectly. Her brown hair hung in a single pony tail that reached to the middle of her back. She carried a bouquet of white roses. She slowly walked down the aisle, and stood beside Jason. Jason was looking down at her and smiling brightly. "Please present the rings," the priest said. Jason let out a sharp whistle, and a small, white, baby rabbit hopped down the aisle and stood between Monica and Jason. On it's neck, the rabbit had two rings tied to a red ribbon. Jason untied the rings and gently patted the rabbit's head. Jason looked up at Monica, ho looked dumbfounded. She giggled as Jason put on her ring, "How did...how did you," she muttered, "How'd you get that rabbit...?" Jason smiled, "You can do anything with love," he said. The crowd chanted, "Awwww." The priest smiled fatherly, "At this point, the bride and the groom will read to each other their vows," he said. Monica and Jason turned towards one another, holding hands. "Jason," Monica said, "All of this seems like a dream. It feels like I'm in the clouds of my mind, dreaming like a little girl. You are everything I could ever want. You complete me. You were always there when we were in high school, and you never left me, never did anything to hurt me. Even when the times were roughest, you were there. You took a bullet for me, risked your life to save me from a car, and risked everything to climb up next to my window and see me." A tear tickled down Monica's eye, Jason wiped it away with the back of his index finger. "I'm always going to be here for you. As long as you breathe, I will be here to hold your hand," he said. Jason looked at his feet, trying to start his vow. "Monica," he said at first, "I always thought love was just a dream. That it was something I would sing about or write about, and watch as others felt it. But when you came into my life, I knew that I could never love another. I knew everything would be good from there on. I love you more than anything in this world. Your voice is the song to my heart, and your eyes are the gates to my soul. You mean the world to me. And the world I would give to see your smile." Monica's lips trembled, trying to hold back the tears, "I love you," Jason said. "I love you, too," Monica replied. There was not a single dry eye in the entire crowd. Even the men had a single tear going down their eye.
