Always and Forever — J.A. Collard

Happily ever after is not a fairy tale, it's a choice you make, and I'm so glad I made mine.”
Lust is what I felt when I first laid my eyes on Quill.
Desire is what stared back at me through his piercing blue eyes.
Love is what I feel for the man that brought me back to life, and handed me my future.

Today is the day I say I do. I have said these words before, but somehow, this time, there's no comparison to how I feel about saying them today. I'm getting married to a man that owns me body and soul, a man who taught me that sometimes we need to take a leap of faith, and that if we fall, we do so knowing we did it with our hearts.
Standing before him, our child in my womb nestled between us, I have never felt so much happiness as I do on this day. Life is perfect. I'm getting married to a man who loves me such a fierceness, he literally takes my breath away. A man that is a leader, would put his life on the line for those he loves, and who has made us his family.

So today I'm going to put my faith in Quill, and know that when I say I do, I will be his, and he will be mine. Always, and forever.
