It was an intimate, sacred moment between the two of you. Nothing big and fancy, nothing obnoxious and tacky.

Despite being someone known for his harsh words and his condensing demeanour, right before you, stood a man that looked vulnerable before you.

To him, you were a sanctuary that shielded him from all the fears he had on this earth. You were the safe space that he was once so skeptical about, but grew to love so easily because of your sheer grace.

With tears threatening to spill from his eyes, he couldn't help but to wonder how he could meet such an angel. Someone that saved him out of the misery and self-deprecation that is his mind.

As he slipped the plain and simple band that the two of you chose for one another, he felt a sense of joy like no other.

The officiant signalled him to lift up your veil, and there he was, in full awe of the beauty that would be his wife for the rest of his days.

Soccer was fun, but a life with you was even more so.
