He brushed his hand down her side as she came to him, the first few notes of the song flittering into the room and he almost doesn’t hear it. He watched her as if he would die if he so much as let his gaze drop from hers. She watched him with the same fascination and it makes him as breathless now as the first time she looked at him all those years ago.
He wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her the rest of the way and against her, her arms automatically going around her neck as he runs his hands slowly up her spine to rest his arms in the same manner around hers.
They moved to the music almost automatically, letting everything else drift into nothing apart from the other and he can hardly believe it - that this was happening, that she was his, now, that she had said yes… that she had stood before man and God and said that she would be his forever and a day, forsaking all others.
He pulled her closer settling his forehead against hers, a grin on his face he’s sure will never be erased. He brought one hand down as they dance, running it slowly over the slight swell underneath her dress and it makes him grin even more - his child nestled safely inside her womb. He lets his hand linger there for a few moments before going back up to her neck.
“I love you, my love” she whispered into her ear as the song finished and the room erupted into shouts and claps.
“I love you, my wife…my life” he whispered back, capturing her lips for a deep kiss.
