Always thinking about your loved one and to show how much you are . To trust each other always . And forgive when there is a need . To say how much you love them . It is a wonderful thing indeed .

Most people get married believing a myth that marriage is a beautiful box full of all the things that they have longed for ; companionship , intimacy , friendship , love , etc. The truth is marriage at the start is an empty box . You must put something in before you can take out anything . There is no love in marriage . Love is in people . And people put love in marriage . There is no romance in marriage . You have to infuse it into your marriage . A couple must learn the art and form the habit of giving , loving , serving , praising , of keeping the box full . If you take out more than you put in , the box will be empty .

Tyler: " I am so freaked out ! "

Steven: " Well you should not be . You should celebrate this word . You are getting married to the love of your life , Mindy . "

Tyler: " Yes of course , Mindy is the one and only girl I was ever in love with ! She holds my heart to that extend that it's impossible to breathe without her ! "

Steven: " Sound cheesy ! "

Tyler: " I know right . "

Steven: " I will use it with Clara . "

Tyler: " But it is the fact ! ! Mindy and me , we have been childhood sweethearts ! We were dating since we were teens and now we are finally getting married . I can't believe we are getting married . I am on cloud nine right now ! Finally , finally my Mindy is going to be mine for ever and ever . Mine to hold , mine to love , mine to admire , Mine forever . "

Tyler gave a cute smile .

Tyler: " It feels so good , so amazing. Although I am a bit nervous but this is good nervousness . To be honest I am freaked out but still it feels so special . The love of my life is going to be mine forever .

Steven: " You have repeated this line like a thousand times . "

Tyler was standing at the aisle , waiting for his Mindy to come !

Steven was his best man . Clara was Mindy's bridemade . Nothing could be more perfect for now . His mom and dad were standing with the crew members . His mom was plastering a cheerful smile on her face standing along with his dad whose eyes were shinning with proudness .

Suddenly the musicians started playing the violin with the other instruments and his eyes flewed to the entrance ! There was standing the love of his life Mindy ! She started taking slow steps towards him . Tyler's heart thumped with the music .

Though he couldn't see his face through the veil , he knew how beautiful she looked ! Her dress fitted her body . She was neither much tall nor too short . Just a perfect size for him ! Her slender eyebrows , her rosy lips , and those sparkling eyes with that cute pointed nose !

She was now all in front of him ! He was able to sense her nervousness in her brown orbs ! He took her hand in his hand and started making small circles on it with his fingers to make her calm down . Steven went and stood next to Clara and whispered in her ears " We are next . . . . . " Her cheecks turned pink and she gave him a cute smile . The priest started the ritual ;

" Today we all our gathered here to celebrate the marriage of Mindy with Tyler . "

" Do you Tyler Jackson take Mindy Cooper as your lawful wife , to have and hold , from this day forward , for better or for worse , for riches or poorer , in sickness and in health , to love and cherish until death do you part ? "

He took a deep breath and said " I do " with a smile on his face !

" Do you Mindy Cooper take Tyler Jackson as your lawful husband , to have and hold , from this day forward , for better or or worse , for riches or poorer , in sickness and in health , to love and cherish till death do you apart ? "

There was a silence . No voice came up . Tyler looked at Mindy with hopeful eyes and a smile that curved his lips . The priest repeated himself ;

" Do you Mindy Cooper take Tyler Jackson as your lawful husband , to have and hold , from this day forward , for better or or worse , for riches or poorer , in sickness and in health , to love and cherish till death do you apart ? "

Everyone was looking at them with curious eyes . The most curious was Tyler to know her answer though he knew it was yes . His mind had some negative vibes .

He whispered to her " Mindy ! "

She looked towards him and parted her lips to speak the words .

She said " I . . . . . . . I can't . . . . . . . . Tyler . "

These words broke his heart .

He looked towards her hoping for some mischievousness in them but she looked damn serious .

" What ? ? ? ? ? ? ?. . . . . . . . . " Tyler asked confusingly .

Taking a deep breath se said , " I . . . . . . . . I can't . . . . .marry you . . . . . . . . . Tyler . I just can't . . . . . . . . "

These words pierced his heart .

He looked at her in disbelief " What ? why ? baby , what is wrong ? Did I do something ? Did I upset you ? Are you angry with me ? Please tell me what is it . We will talk it out . We will find a way . "

She didn't uttered a word .

Clara went to her .

" What happened to you " said Clara .

Tyler: " Baby , if I have done something wrong , please tell me . We can solve this ! Please don't leave me . Just don't do this to me . I will die . "

She sighed and looked towards him " I don't love you Tyler . I was only with you for your money and nothing else . I don't come from a filthy family . You had what my life lacked , money . I thought that money will be all I will ever need but I was wrong . Just a few days back I realized that love is more important that money and I love someone else . . . . . . . . . . I love someone else . I am sorry . . . . . . . . I am so sorry . . . . . . . . . . I never wanted to hurt you . I can't live with you when I am in love with someone else . Please forgive me . "

" What . . . . . . . . . What how could you do this to me . I have loved you all my life . How can you leave me for someone else . . . . . . . . .Say how can you do this to me . How can you do this to me . . . . . . . Mindy ? "

Tyler said . Anger was clearly visible in his eyes .

Mindy: " He loves me . "

Tyler: " But so do I . He can't love you more than I do . . . . . . . "

Mindy: " Not only does he love me but also he has a lot more money than you . Your company is not doing well ! . . . . . . . You want to give up business and works as a photographer . Photography is a hobby Tyler not a career. Your sister wll be heir after your father's death . I can't live an unsecured life . I want . . . . . . . I want security of my future ! I have dreams and I don't want to just give them up for your uncertainity ! "

She said while Tyler was looking at her in disbelief .

" No , you love me ! why are you lying baby ? What is wrong ? Father she is kidding repeat everything you said . What was it . . . . . . " Do you Mindy Cooper take Tyler Jackson as your lawful husband , to have and hold , from this day forward , for better or or worse , for riches or poorer , in sickness and in health , to love and cherish till death do you apart ? Say yes I do , Mindy , say yes I do . " He asked her once again with a hope of denying it . But she tore him apart by saying " I don't love you . . . . . . I don't love you Tyler . "

" Say it by looking in my eyes ! " Tyler said by looking in his eyes . It was very obvious that he was struggling to control his anger .

" I don't love you Tyler get that in your head . " Saying do she walked away . He felt like a knife has been stabbed in his heart ! He stood there still not believeing his eyes and eyes . Tears rolled down his eyes .
