My mouth stretched into the widest smile as I looked into his beautiful eyes, all the stars above us that he’d just mentioned seemed to be reflected in them. “Yes.” It was all I could say.

“You haven’t looked at the ring, do you like it?” he asked, his face alight with a radiant glow.

I looked down as he slid the delicate band down my ring finger. It was as if it had been made for me. A brilliant blue sapphire sat in the middle of the platinum band, a blue that would always remind me of the ocean, and of Luke’s beautiful eyes. On either side of it sat tiny, sparkling diamonds, which twisted off to complement the band of the ring.

“It’s incredible,” I said. My voice caught in my throat as my mind struggled to comprehend the enormity of this moment.

“I knew it was meant for you.”

“You’re meant for me,” I said as I stroked his cheek with my left hand, watching the ring shimmer, the reflection of a star in the moonlit sky.

“I know we don’t have traditional vows to say. I thought…” He took a deep breath. “Maybe we could just say what felt good, use the words that flow through your mind right now.”

I nodded. “I want to hear every word that passes your lips, especially these ones.”

He took a drink of his wine and blew his hair out of his eyes, I loved how he got nervous still. Who was I kidding? I loved every single, tiny thing about him, a fact that had only become more apparent over this last year.

“I’ll go first,” I volunteered, taking a sip of the crisp wine. “This isn’t my specialty, but… I’ve thought a lot of sentimental ideas about you recently.”

“You are the reason I exist

The love that draws each breath

You keep my blood flowing

You drive my dreams

You make life what it is

Magical and heartfelt

Sometimes, raw and painful

But I don’t care

Because we are written in eternity

This moment has been destined

Here, under these stars

There’s a reason I shiver at the very thought of you

We’ve been falling in love

Over and over

Since the beginning of time

In every existence

Through every reincarnation

And we’ll never, ever stop

Our love will outlast everything.”

Luke wiped the tears from my cheekbones with a soft smile, taking a deep breath before he began his own pledge.
