Anna's pov:
As I'm encouraging William to cry during the wedding he asks me if I'd let my tears fall. He then asked that if I do would I be self conscious if he kissed or wiped them in front of everyone.
"Although I'm not used to crying on front of anyone except you (and in rare circumstances Jarrod and Camilla) I wouldn't try to hold my tears back if they threatened to fall, but I also wouldn't make a conscious effort to help them either. I mean yes, I'd be self conscious but I doubt I'll be the only one crying there. And about you kissing and wiping my tears... I'd love that. I find it a really sweet gesture no matter who it's in front of. And honestly it would make me feel slightly less self conscious." I answered back hoping William liked my answers.
With that William turned me over and helped me slip out of my beautiful dress. He then slipped back between my legs and began thrusting again. My whole body began to bounce with every thrust. My thighs, hips and calves began to jiggle like jello. It took less that five min for us both to reach the point of no return. By then we were both so sweaty and tired we decided to turn in early for the wedding the next day.
We get to the cathedral early enough to get front row seats up close to the alter. I'm looking around as we wait for Camilla to enter. William places his hands around my waist and pulls me in closer. I then feel him lean his chin on my shoulder. With that he begins to lightly and quietly kiss my neck. I let out a low moan which I try to stifle the best I could.
That's when the music starts and I see Camilla enter the cathedral. She looks so beautiful in her dress, arm in arm with her father. I can feel hot tears beginning to prick the backs of my eyes as I was remembering the night we got married. My uncle Patrick stepped up to walk me down the aisle as my father had passed when I was little. How I wished my father had been there for my wedding like Camilla's. I could feel a lump forming in my throat and my breathing was rapidly increasing. I desperately tried not to sob as I didn't want to distract from Camilla.
I could feel my belly convulse a few times forcing out silent sobs. That's when William turned to look at me.

Hannah's POV
After the initial wave of tears running down my cheeks, I managed to control my emotions a little. My eyes still filled with tears but I was able to dab them away with an increasingly dog-eared tissue before they fell from my eyes.
I did have another brief spike when we had to sign the register, and a tear streamed down the left hand side of my face after I stood up after my turn. Luckily I wiped it away before it dropped.
When the happy couple walked out it was time to introduce Lucy to my Uncle.
'It's a pleasure to meet you' he told her taking her by the hand, his eyes sparkling
'The pleasure is mine, sir' Lucy told him, tears running down her cheeks.
'I like her very much' my Uncle whispered to me as we left. A final wave of tears streamed down my face. We had been worried about being accepted into the family all week and it was so nice that we were
We got ready to go to the reception

Camilla and Sadie's Dad
'Uncle, I'd like you to meet my wife Lucy' Hannah introduced. My eyes filling, I took my niece in law's hands
'It's a pleasure to meet you' I said, happy that my niece had found someone who loved her. Tears of joy ran down Lucy's cheeks
'The pleasure is all mine, sir' she said in reply. Hannah was overcome with emotion again, when I told her I liked her wife very much
We all got into the cars to drive to the reception

As I see Camilla radiantly coming towards me, the processional chant is playing, as she comes closer I notice her eyes to the brim with tears. When her dad allows her to go, she takes my hands in hers, my hands tremble with the emotion, I make a harder effort and successfully push back tears once more as I see Camilla blink, causing her beautiful tears to begin their way down her fair cheeks. Since she is holding my hands I am unable to wipe her tears, I see her smile as she blushes, her tears slowly rolling down her cheeks unchecked. Before they reach her lower cheek I kiss a tear from each cheek, an awww is heard around the church, especially with the characteristic echo churches have.
The ceremony continues, the Old Testament reading, the New Testament epistle, the Gospel, I feel tears during some parts of the readings, almost managing to fall down my cheeks, then the climax of the celebration is here, we have to say our vows...

I guess my gesture of squeezing Jarrod's hand for comfort helped him push back his tears, not make them fall as I had hoped. I blinked sending a couple tears cascading down my cheeks. Since Jarrod and I are holding hands neither of us can wipe my tears away. I finally realize everyone is going to see my tears as they fall. I'm snapped out of my embarrassment by the feeling of his warm lips kissing a tear from each of my cheeks. I feel myself calming just a little, that is until I hear an echo of "awww" ringing out through the church.
As the ceremony continues I can see Jarrod's eyes filling with tears during different parts of the reading. Sometimes they just sparkle but other times they look as if they are threatening to fall with his next sudden movement. Although touching I manage to keep my tears at bay during the reading.
Then all of a sudden it is time to say our vows. I take a deep shaky breath praying not to cry anymore. As I begin saying my vows I can feel a lump quickly forming in my throat and hot tears pricking at the backs of my eyes. My voice finally begins to shake with my next vow and my vision is now so blurry I know it won't be long before I loose control. Just before my last vow a couple of tears escape my eyes despite my best efforts and begin running down my cheeks. With that it is Jarrod's turn to say his vows.
With us still holding hands I can feel Jarrod's hands begin to shake once more. He takes a deep breath and begins saying his vows. I can hear how unsteady his voice is as it keeps cracking almost with every other word. That was it. With his next vow I see a single tear fall from the middle of his left eye and start it's slow decent down his cheeks. My heart drops as he stops talking mid vow and begins to blush. I wiggle my right hand a little and he loosens his grip slightly. I then quickly yet delicately bring my hand up to his left cheek and thumb his tear away. Then using the backs of my fingers trace his tear streak back up to just under his eye before returning my slightly damp hand back in his.

William's POV:
As I am struggling to keep my tears at bay, I feel Anna's breathing rapidly increasing as she starts to sob silently. since we are still standing as Camilla walks to the aisle, I feel a few eyes on Anna, I give a quick glance and confirm, I notice for sure three guys and four girls looking directly at Anna. I look at her, huge teardrops form in her beautiful eyes and start to slowly overflow from her eyes, down her cheeks in several streams, leaving thick, shiny streaks on her breathtaking cheeks.
Instantly remembering what she told me, even though she starts to blush, I lean and kiss a hot tear from her right cheek, kissing the thick tear streak as well, from the tear to where it started, tasting her salty tears on her cheeks.
We sit down and listen to the readings from the Old and the New Testament, when the letter from Peter is being read I feel a wave of tears forcefully push their way past my eyes, I lean a bit to the front to hide my face from the people. I feel extremely self conscious as I feel my tears make three paths on my left cheek and four on my right. From experience I can guess the streaks are thick and easily visible, so I avoid attracting attention, well, except from Anna, who, as she told me yesterday, would love to comfort me.

As Camilla is saying her vows her voice becomes wavy and tears fill her eyes, eventually running down her cheeks, since she is holding my hands (again) I am unable to wipe her tears and I don't want to interrupt her by kissing her tears, I feel a couple of lukewarm tears fall on my hands.
Its my turn to say my vows, my hands start to shake, my voice breaks often as I try to control my emotions (or maybe I don't want to control them?), as I am still saying my vows I feel a tear begin its way down the middle of my left cheek, I stop talking and blush, about 50 persons are present, most of them have never seen me cry, Camilla snaps me out of my thoughts wiggling her hand, I release it briefly, not brief enough for her to snap it out of mine and quickly bringing her thumb to my tear, lovingly taking care of it, swiftly turning it over and, with the back of her fingers, takes care of my tear streak, returning her hand to hold mine, I feel the dampness of my tear on her hand.
That public gesture of unconditional love encourages another tear to escape, this time from the middle of my right eye. Knowing everyone saw the first tear, I no longer give it much importance, I finish saying my vows and, I can't help smiling seeing Camilla in tears (I know how empathic she can be). By the time we say I do, Camilla has five tear streaks on her left eye and four on her right, she looks so beautiful I can't wait to kiss her.
When the priest says: "You may kiss the bride". I give her a passionate kiss on her lips, cupping her cheeks, taking care of all her tears, there is a roaring sound of applauses and cheers. When we break the kiss, she still has happy tears streaming down her cheeks and our friends and relatives are around us, congratulating us. I wonder how Camilla feels as I see my best friend Alex kissing a tear from her cheek (could it be accidental?) then, quickly brings both palms of his hands to her cheeks, swiping her tears. Raphael gives her a hug and seems she transfers a tear from her cheek to his, then James comes and gives me a strong hug as Denise, Hannah and Lucy congratulate Camilla, after the girls come to me James goes to Camilla, giving her a hug, then surprisingly kisses a tear from each cheek, and before Camilla could react, he brushes the back of his fingers from below her eyes to her chin, clearing three streaks from each cheek.
We finish congratulating us, then we head for the reception at Snug Harbor in Staten Island...

Anna's pov:
I feel thick tears start to fall from my eyes and down my cheeks despite my best efforts. They leave several tear streaks behind as they continue their way over my cheeks and down to my chin. I blush and refuse to look around, now fighting the urge to wipe my still flowing tears, afraid someone might have taken their attention off of Camilla to look at my tears as they continue to flow.
That's when I felt William lean in and kiss a single tear from my right cheek. He then kissed it's tear streak as well. I couldn't help but smile as we sat as I felt overly comforted in this moment.
As we begin listening to the readings I notice William is shifting a bit. He leans slightly forward. I turn my gaze away from the ceremony and begin to look at him. I lean slightly forward to see his face. To my surprise I notice three thick tears running down his left cheek and four on his right. As soon as he notices I saw his tears he tries to lower his head a bit to hide his eyes. That only makes his tears fall straight from his eyes and land on his pants, instead on down his cheeks like before.
I then felt more happy tears beginning to spring to my eyes. This time from happiness that William is allowing himself to be so open and vulnerable for me like he promised despite his embarrassment. That gave me the confidence I needed to take care of his tears, in front of everybody like I promised. I gently used my pointer finger to gently lift his head back up so his tears were once again flowing down his cheeks. To my surprise there was no resistance. He did however, close his eyes as soon as his eyes met mine. I guess his embarrassment took over. With that I slowly and delicately used the backs of my fingers to wipe the tears on his left cheek folowing the streaks back up to just under his eyes. Then I wiped the tears on his right cheek along with their streaks.

I can't believe what I am seeing. As soon as my hand is back in Jarrod's another tear escapes, this time from the middle of his right eye. I guess his embarrassment is over as he lets ihis tear continue it's way down. He then gives me a big smile. I know he LOVES seeing me in tears, and by the feel of it I have many running down my cheeks.
Finally the priest says "You may kiss the bride." I've never gotten such a passionate kiss from Jarrod in all the time we've been together. He cups my cheeks while we kiss and he uses the pads of his thumbs to wipe away my still falling tears. Just after we beak the kiss, now officially husband and wife, all our friends and relatives gather around us to congratulate us.
I blush as I feel Jarrod's best friend Alex delicately kissing a tear from my cheek. He then brings the palms of both his hands to my cheeks and swipes away a few of my still falling tears. Raphael then steps in and gives me a hug, brushing his cheek against mine making a tear transfer from my cheek to his. Then out the corner of my eye I see James walking over to Jarrod from the back of the crowd and giving him a big, strong hug. Then Denise, Hannah and Lucy come up to congratulate me before walking towards Jarrod to congratulate him as James walks over toward me. He gives me a big, strong hug then surprises me by kissing a tear from each of my cheeks. I blush a little as I feel him gently brushing the backs of his fingers from just below my eye all the way to my chin, clearing multiple streaks from each cheek.
After everyone is done congratulating us we head to the reception at Snug Harbor in Staten Island by limo. Once in the limo I place my head on Jarrod's shoulder and grab his hand interlocking his fingers with mine. He then places his cheek on top of my head.
"I love you." I began with a deep sigh. "I feel so honored to be your wife, and even more so to have been able to take care of your precious tears during the happiest moment of my life. I can never thank you enough for allowing yourself to be vulnerable for me even though I realize how hard it must have been with all those people there." I finished smiling as I felt a single thick tear escape the inner corner of my left eye, and roll onto the collar of Jarrod's shirt.

Hannah's POV
We all get into the limo's that will take us to the Staten Island ferry. When we arrive at the terminal and get out of our cars, we saw two girls wearing Go-Pro cameras, and carrying notebooks and folders running to the South Ferry subway station
'Somebody's in a hurry' one of the guests quipped
We got onto the ferry for our journey to Staten Island and I used the trio to have a quiet moment with Lucy
'So how are you holding up' I said taking her hands and playing with her fingers
'That's supposed to be my line' Lucy said gently. Tears began running down her cheeks
'It's such a beautiful day' she said her voice cracking in a sob. I released my hold on her hands and we both hugged tears streaming down my face
When we arrived we took another limo to a park where we had the wedding photos before the reception started
Jarrod and Camilla had quite a few so it gave me and Lucy time to explore the gardens
A voice hailed me and I saw Jessica, Camilla's childhood friend
I introduced her to Lucy and she asked us why we were here. When we told her about the wedding, tears ran down her cheeks
'I know I shouldn't have expected an invite, but since I initiated my current relationship I haven't spoken to her much' Jessica told us, wiping her tears. 'We were such good friends and now we aren't' Tears continued to stream down her face so she bade us goodbye and hoped we had fun
Tears ran down my cheeks as I watched her go back to her girlfriend. Sadie had told us about the current situation between her two former exes and her sister and I wondered if I could help
'Best not to' Lucy advised wiping my tears. 'It might bring up old wounds'
We got ready to go inside for the reception
