The day arrives and it seems nearly unbelievable that I am in the church ready to walk down the aisle to get married to my best friend.

I am more nervous than I anticipated as I finally take a deep breath to calm my nerves as I start my way down the aisle to the alter. I look around to see the whole church packed with all our family and friends.

Next thing I know I'm standing at the alter opposite my fiance. Seeing his radiant face and breathing appearance I can feel tears of immense joy filling my eyes. I take a deep breath to try and hold back as I don't want to trigger him as I know he'd be embarrassed if he was to openly cry in front of everyone here.

After a moment of him looking lovingly into my eyes at the alter he leaned in and discretely whispered in my ear asking why I wasn't letting my tears fall as he promised to lovingly take care of them, even in front of everyone.

"It's just that I didn't want you to be embarrassed as I know my tears would only trigger yours (even though I wouldn't mind seeing them). I mean you know just how much I love when you take care of my tears." And before I could get his response I felt a single thick tear slide from the middle of each of my eyes.

Mear sec after my tears started their decent I saw him through my now blurry vision, lean in further and felt him kiss the streak on my left cheek all the way up to just under my eye. I felt my cheeks flush a bit as I heard the entire assembly erupt with a general 'awww'.

I tried to focus my attention solely on him and being in this perfect moment. I looked deep into his eyes to see them shining with impending tears of their own that were begging to be taken care of. (Does he let his tears fall/be taken care of, does he hold back, or does the ceremony start and distract him?)

As soon as he lovingly kisses and wipes my tears the ceremony starts. As a lecture from St. Paul is read I feel the familiar feeling of more impending tears stinging the backs of my eyes before beginning to fill them again.

Without warning I feel the backs of his fingers on my now hot cheek. I blink sending a pair of tears sliding down the middle of both of my eyes and over his fingers. Instinctively I return the favor by placing the backs of my fingers on his cheek. ( Does he let his tears fall as promised or instinctively hold back?)

As soon as my fingers touched his cheeks I almost immediately felt hot tears making their way across his cheeks. I couldn't help but freeze for a moment to drink in just how special this moment was and just how breathtaking he looked with tears/streaks adorning his cheeks.

I took a deep breath as I slowly ran the pads of my thumbs over his cheeks simultaneously sending another wave of tears down my cheeks.

"I love you." I whispered as we finally turned back to the entire assembly wondering if he'd let any more tears fall as it was by far the best moment of the ceremony yet.
