Before We Get Married Novels & Stories

Our first wedded evening together awaits. We sprint through the forest together, heading west, as is tradition. My family has already selected a small clearing and set it up with a blanket and supplies, a place where the full moon will pass over later after we’ve sealed our bond... for the first time since we’ve been married, anyway. We’ve certainly made love before, and I have a secret to share later to prove it.

he nodded his head. “Ah, I forgot to add this.” He raised a finger. “What?” “No matter what happens. No matter the fight or misunderstanding we have, we must act like proper couples in public. Couples in love, I mean.” “Sure.” “Now, that is settled. When do we get married? Do we just register or do we throw a party?” “What if I want a party?” “And we shall throw a party.” “I want a party,” I said and he clasped his hands together.

"I mean.... Would you get married to me right now? We could go and get married, exchanging our rings without our family knowing." "What? You mean now?" Why was that intriguing? Why was I beginning to love the sound of that? Why does it seem appealing to me when it shouldn't even be? "Like right now?" I asked again, to which he nodded. "We will go out to the register get married." "What about your parents?" "I will let them know when we are back and we are done." "But we need witnesses and..." "You can get Elena, and I will get Max. I will also get everything ready."

He nods before standing and placing his hands on my shoulders, “Well,” he says, “let’s get you married.” We chuckle and head out the door, ready for the best day of my life.

“Oh, I'm sure they're all going to be thrilled. Do you mind if we don't tell them about the part where I chased you off?” “Deal. See, we're already doing this marriage between families thing like we're pros.” He chuckles and together we both get dressed. I quickly fix my makeup and together we head back to the restaurant to meet our families and announce that we're going to join the families.

“Of course I am. But first, I want to marry you. We'll have a simple ceremony here with your family and our closest friends.” “Oh, no. Don't even start with that. When I get married, I want a huge celebration, and I want everyone at my wedding.” “Then we can get legally married first. After that, we'll go to England, and when we come back, we'll have the wedding party exactly the way you want it.” “Why are you so determined for us to be married before we go?” “Because I don't want any objections from them. Even if they don't approve, they'll have to respect my choice—and my wife.”

" This never happened before in our past lives... What if us getting married changed the flow of time and new things are going to happen that we have no clue about?" " Us getting married probably has nothing to do with it, but yes I agree that things have changed or are changing and if we don't take them down we will be the ones to fall."

Everything there felt like a shelter, not a home. “I don’t really know how to answer that… I hadn’t really thought about what we were going to do after we got married.” Carlos leaned forward, resting his notebook on his knees. “So we have to decide… After the wedding, we need our own place, even if it’s small, right?” His words held a quiet urgency, and I frowned at his tone. For a moment, it was as if... I shook the thought from my mind and nodded. "Yes, we'll find a new place."

She agreed without any fuss. Thankfully the day ends on a good note. But what is ahead of us is something we never expected. As promised. The marriage preparation starts the next day. Before I know it, the news of our wedding is announced everywhere. Not just nationwide but worldwide. ****
