I was nervous when I got to where my parents were waiting for us outside. Mom hugged me with tears in her eyes and she smiled happily.
“I can’t believe that my baby is getting married today.”
“Mom, I’m the oldest.” I whined playfully.
“You’re both my babies, and since you’re the oldest you found your mate and are getting married first, so just take what you can get while I take what I can.”
“Alright Momma.” I smiled as I kissed her cheek. “I love you.”
“I love you too, baby boy. I love you so much.”
After that we walked to the clearing at the cliff together. My parents walked in the lead hand in hand, Shane and Falena followed us and also walked hand in hand. I felt lonely, being the only one who was not there with their mate to walk while holding their hand.
When we finally got to the place the wedding was to be held I saw the best sight in the world. Dietrich was there, waiting anxiously with a massive smile on his face. The moment he saw me his eyes lit up like he had seen the best thing in the world. I had a feeling I lit up in the exact same way.
Our wedding started the moment Dietrich and I joined hands. We walked to stand before the cliffs and stood facing Gabriel who had his back to the beautiful view. My family stood just to the side of me, Riviana and Joaquin stood on the other side of Dietrich, and Falena took pictures for us.
My future sister in law might not be part of the photos, but I was so happy that she had offered to help us preserve these memories.
Dietrich and I had opted for a nontraditional ceremony with vows we wrote ourselves. We both pledged our undying love and spoke of how we were happy to have such a long future together ahead of us.
Following the ceremony Falena took some couples photos for us. Several of the pictures turned out to be wonderful and perfect. There was one in particular, a shot of the two of us staring into each other’s eyes next to the trees overlooking the river. I wanted to have that one printed out in particular.
We had our dinner then, more of a late lunch really. The small gathering was intimate, sweet, and fun. Following the meal we changed and headed for the airport. It was now time for two weeks of nothing but me, Dietrich, and the beautiful beaches of Belize.
I couldn’t imagine a more perfect wedding, or a more perfect person to have shared it with.
The day we were to head home from our honeymoon, Dietrich received a phone call. Our house that he was having built for us was done. The only thing we needed to do now was have the furniture moved in and then we could move into it as well.
“We will have our own home together soon my love.” Dietrich’s voice was full of love as we settled in the luxury seating on Dietrich’s small private plane. I just couldn’t believe that between Joaquin and Dietrich they owned seven private aircrafts.
“When do you think we can move in?” I asked him as we sat close to each other, snuggling a little.
“Maybe a week.” He sounded contemplative. “Perhaps we will have a combination moving in party and birthday party for you.” He grinned now as he turned to look at me. You know, sometimes I loved that we were almost the exact same height, the level of intimacy when we looked at each other was so amazing.
“Really? Do you think it will really be ready that soon?”
“I am sure I can manage it, as long as you are there to help me to pick at least some of it out, my love.”
“It’s more your department than mine, but I will not leave you to do it all alone.” We smiled at each other then, naturally gravitating toward each other until our lips met for a slow, passionate kiss.
We were still kissing when the plane took off from the ground. There was so much to look forward to with my mate, so much that we could do now that we were going to be together forever. And I was really, really looking forward to living with him and being there with him every single day.

Two glorious weeks of beautiful sandy beaches, bright sunlight, and a radiant Shawn had left me in the best mood of my life. We had spent more than half of that time away wrapped in each other’s arms, tangled in the sheets or covered in sand.
But there was wonderful news on the way home from the trip. Our house was finished and it was time for us to move the furniture in. I had a lot of things that I had already purchased and had in storage waiting for this time.
I spent that first week back from our trip staying at Shawn’s place every night as we both picked out our new things and packed the things he wanted to take with us. He was giving up the apartment and giving most of his things away to friends, family, or charity.
Shawn said that all he wanted was his keepsakes, photos, and clothes. I tried to convince him to take more but he said he wanted to fill our home with things that represented us together.
We had flown back on Saturday, eight days before his and Shane’s birthday and it only took six days to move everything in. We planned to move in on Saturday, the day before my love turned twenty-seven. We were having a joint birthday party for Shawn and Shane and a housewarming party.
All of our friends, new and old, were there with us. The guards from the pack and the Sentinelle, the warlocks, the other vampires and shifters that had settled in the area, into the houses that Joaquin’s construction company had just recently finished.
The party was larger than Shawn would normally have wanted, but I swear he was more than willing to let it happen this time. And everyone brought gifts for him and his brother (we had forbidden gifts for the house since we had covered it all ourselves).
But, the real party that night was between the two of us after all of our guests had left.
I led Shawn by the hand up to our new room. The interior of the house had mostly been done in shade of gray and blue since those colors had seemed to fit us so well, and our room was no exception. The hardwood floor was covered by a large, soft rug that had varying shades of the two colors. The furniture was all done in black with accents of blue or gray. The extra large king sized bed was draped in a stormy gray comforter that had a pattern that consisted of streaks of blue lightning running across it.
I pulled my mate, my Geliebte, my husband into the room with me and I backed up toward the bed.
“I want to make our first night here special.” I said as I sat him down on the edge of the soft mattress. I went around the room then, lighting the candles that I had placed there for us. Then I grabbed two glasses of champagne for us to toast with before walking back to his side and sitting next to him.
“Thank you.” He smiled as he took the glass from me.
“A toast, my love, to us. Together for all eternity.” I smiled softly.
