It just went unsaid between the two males and then Sig was able to help with final styling after Eivind got dressed. The alpha fidgeted but probably for different reasons. New shoes and trim fitted jackets were something that would take some getting used to.<br/><br/>“Once you see Blue you won’t be thinking about any of this at all,” Sig told him.<br/><br/>And that was exactly what happened.<br/><br/>Sig had opened for the ceremony. He told a highly edited and vague version of his first meeting of the pair and highlighted some of the struggles they had overcome with his own flair of humor. It was the lightness the wedding needed when paired with Eivind’s serious and overwhelming focus as he waited for his mate. Sig could nearly feel his impatience but at least he’d stopped fidgeting with his clothing.<br/><br/>When the music started everyone turned in their seats to stare down the aisle. Eivind knew better, hyper-aware of his mate’s footsteps before he ever came into view. While the man lacked for words he occasionally made up with it in his expressions. He took Blue in proudly, looking as if he was the most content man that had ever lived. The music was set low, encouraging silence because this day had very little to do with their guests but everything to do with the two men that stood at the altar before them.<br/><br/>Blue said something to Eivind that broke his seriousness and the gruff man laughed, smiled, and leaned down to take his lover’s hand.<br/><br/>The officiant started. His voice was slow and clear, carrying well.<br/><br/>“Welcome family, friends, and loved ones. We are gathered here today, surrounded by beauty and nurtured by the sights and sounds of nature to celebrate the wedding of Blue and Eivind. You all have come to share in this commitment now they make to one another, to offer your love and support to their union, and to allow Blue and Eivind to start their married life together surrounded by the dearest and most important to them.<br/><br/>“Blue and Eivind, thank you for your presence here today. They ask for your encouragement and lifelong support for their decision to be married.<br/><br/>“Blue and Eivind, marriage is the promise between two people who love each other, who trust that love, who honor one another as individuals in that togetherness, and who wish to spend the rest of their lives together. It enables the two separate souls to share their desires, longings, dreams, and memories, their joys and sorrows, and to help each other through any and all uncertainties. A strong marriage also nurtures each of you as separate individuals and allows you to maintain your unique identity and grow in your own way through the years ahead. It is a safe haven for each of you to become your best self while together you became better than you could ever be alone.<br/><br/>“You are adding to your life not only the affection of each other but also the companionship and blessing of a deep trust. You are agreeing to share strength, responsibilities, and to protect one another. To make this relationship work, therefore, takes more than love. It takes trust, to know in your hearts that you want only the best for each other. It takes dedication to stay open to one another, to learn and grow, even when it is difficult. And it takes faith to go forward with one another without knowing that the future hold.<br/><br/>“Blue and Eivind, please join hands, look at one another now and remember this moment in time. No one else’s will can create such a union. It is their words, their intentions, their vision, that must define and shape this marriage. So I call upon them now to state their promise before this group: the pledges that will bind them together. Eivind, if you will begin.”<br/><br/>Eivind had thought long and hard about what he’d say at that moment. This was just a more formal declaration of their devotion to one another even if he’d felt that way before. He didn’t mind saying it now even if it was difficult to find the words to convey exactly how that felt to him. He stared at Blue, hands in his own, unwavering.<br/><br/>“I knew that I would stop at nothing to love and protect you. Now, I didn’t know if you’d allow it, but somehow you seem to have found it in yourself to love me back, and I will always treasure that. I will love you for who you are now and for whatever you are to become in the future. I will be your strength when you need me until our final day.” Eivind squeezed Blue’s hands, resisting the urge to touch further because that was usually how the wolf showed his lover his meaning. This had been a time for words and only that.<br/><br/>“Thank you, Eivind. Blue, you may proceed.”
