Saying "I Do" to my ex

I AM MARRIED TO MY EX

Dad! What are you doing here? I asked him, crying.

Dad came near me and asked me happily-

Why are you crying sweetie? Do you forget today is the big day of your life? I came here to take you down because your soon-to-be husband is waiting for you.

I was shocked to hear Daniel was waiting for me. I thought he ran away from this marriage? I am very confused now. I don't know what is going around me. We left the room and went down to where the wedding was going to happen in a few minutes.

When I looked up at the entrance, it was like a dream come true. The entrance was decorated with white flowers, and it's impossible to go wrong with the classic combination of white flowers and lush greenery. I love the way this aisle is decorated with a fresh combination down the entirety of the aisle. Dad took my hand and led me toward the aisle. The way toward the aisle is decorated with rose petals.

I have thousands of questions running inside my head. Did my groom really run away from this marriage? Did he come back to marry me again? I silently walked with my dad toward the aisle, my head was down.

I was feeling very emotional because of the early news. There are tears in my eyes. I am trying very hard to hold my tears back. I am not happy about this marriage.

We went near the aisle. Dad gave my hand to Daniel. I walked towards the man I was getting married to. I didn't even feel the excitement to look at him.

He softly took my hand and kissed my knuckles with his soft lips. I was totally shocked by his move. Why does his touch feel so similar to me? Why would I get goosebumps at his single touch? Why do I feel like I knew this touch before?

The rituals continued for a long time, all the while I had my head bent down.I heard a deep sigh from beside me and goosebumps erupted on my skin. Why does this feel so familiar?

The whole hall was silent, only the priest's speech can be heard. "We are gathered here today to celebrate one life's greatest movements and to cherish the words. Marriage is the promise between two people who love each other, who trust each other, who choose to spend the rest of their lives together."

The priest was saying sometime but I am not focused. There are thousands of questions running inside my mind.

Everything was happening around me and I kept my head down in a stubborn way. My thoughts were interrupted when a priest told us that we had to take a vow.

Before I could process what was happening-

"I Kim Jamie take you, James Claire, to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, to love and to cherish until we are parted by death" said the same rough voice which I recognized so well.

My heart beat increased, and my hands started sweating. I didn't know what was happening to me. I was not as confident and strong as I was a while ago. Now I am totally speechless.

How can this be possible? It can't be him. Is he not that person? He doesn't even have parents? How could his father be a business person? It's not him, right? Who is this person? And where is Daniel? Am I going to marry him today?

"Now it's your turn to say the vow" he whispered near my ears "Everyones waiting for Claire" he said and I stopped breathing and now i was totally out of my mind.

"I James Claire take you, Kim Jamie, to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, to love and to cherish until we are parted by death." I completed my vows and there were tears in my eyes which i tried hard to stop.

"Do you Kim Jamie pledge to share your lives openly with one another and to speak the truth in love? Do you promise to honor and tenderly care for one another, cherish and encourage each other, stand together, through sorrows and joys , hardships and triumphs for all the days of your lives?" priest asked him.

"Yes, I do" Jamie immediately answered.

"Do you James Claire pledge to share your lives openly with one another and to speak the truth in love? Do you promise to honor and tenderly care for one another, cherish and encourage each other, stand together, through sorrows and joys , hardships and triumphs for all the days of your lives?" this time the priest asked me.

"Yes, I do" I told him because I don't have another option besides marrying him.

Then two small children came with a ring box "May these rings be blessed as a symbol of your love. As often as either of you look upon these rings, may you not only be reminded of this moment, but also of the vows you have made and the strength of your commitment to each other." The priest said and gave one ring to Jamie.

He took the silver wedding ring with diamond in his hand and he softly placed it on my ring finger. I closed my eyes because of emotion, nervousness and some butterflies which are flying in my stomach without knowing the reasons.Then priest gave me the other ring.

I took the silver wedding ring in my gripe and placed it on Jamie ring finger.

"I now pronounce you to be husband and wife.For James Claire, your last name will be changed into your husband's last name. So Kim Jamie and Kim Claire, you are now husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." The priest announced us. How can I forget this after the wedding bride and groom have to kiss each other-

My thoughts got interrupted when Jamie pulled my head and kissed my lips under the priest witness. I already closed my eyes and held my breath. All the crowds were echoing loudly, cheering and clapping their hands.

He broke the kiss and looked at me "Dear ex, as I have always said, you can only be my bride." he whispered near my ear.

I can't believe what just happened He kissed me in front of all. After the breakup this is our first kiss. I was not ready for it. I already hate its person very much.

I am married to my ex-boyfriend, who is now my husband.
