Keeping his eyes closed was probably the hardest thing he’s had to do in a long time… but for her, he kept them shut. That being said… Jordan was always a creative person so it wasn’t exactly… difficult to imagine what Jezebel’s facial expressions were. Her image was one he could never truly get out of his head, despite the years they had spent apart. Jordan had a smile on his lips as she told him she loved him… and the baby loved him - and honestly, that was something he could only hope for. He wanted to be a good husband… a good father to their child and he would never let anything come in the way of that. Jordan had made his fair share of mistakes, but he had made a promise that he would never let that affect his marriage as it once had in the past. He couldn’t change what happened with him and Sadie… but he could promise it would be different this time around.
A small frown replaced his previous smile at her explanation of being queasy, and he sighed… wishing he could do anything to take that feeling away. But despite that… the only thing he could really do was be there for her… forever and always. With her next words, he kissed her for the second time, simply laying his head against hers for a few seconds before he heard a knock on the door. “Soon… I can officially call you mine too… my other half… my wife,” and with that, and a simple kiss on her forehead, Jordan turned around walking outside the door… okay stumbling outside the door where a few of the brides mates shoo’d him out yelling at him for coming in there in the first place.
And then, there he was: walking towards the main ceremony. Jordan found the event planner on his way there who told him he’d get his groomsmen to their places, and after a few minutes, he found himself standing in front of… hundreds of people including friends… family… and friends of family. It all led up to the moment he saw his finacé walking down that aisle, and he honestly couldn’t stop looking at her. She was truly the most stunning woman in the room and there was a part of him… that eight-year-old Jordan within him… trying to figure out how he had gotten her in his life again. I love you he mouthed as she walked the Aisle after the flower girls who were Jessica’s daughters and the bridesmaids. There was a smile on his lips that he couldn’t contain watching Jezebel walk down that aisle. She looked… even more beautiful then he could have pictured… if that was even possible she was simply absolutely stunning and he honestly couldn’t keep his eyes off of her. She stole the breath from his lips, and Jordan could feel his heart skip a beat as she finally reached him - her father handing her hand over to him and Jordan immediately bringing it to his lips. Though he could feel the start of tears forming in his eyes for the sheer happiness he felt, he held them back though kept his hands and eyes only on her as the pastor started.
“I believe the bride and groom have their own vows today?”
A smile was brought to his lips as he placed a gentle hand on her cheek, caressing it before nodding “We do,” Jordan replied, looking back at his soon-to-be wife with only love in his eyes. “I… I think part of me has been writing these vows since I was eight years old, Jezebel… and honestly… I could never find the right words. I don’t know how to exactly convey how much you mean the world to me… but I hope that maybe this comes close to even a fraction of how much I love you,”
With those words, Jordan heard the orchestra behind him starting to play the piano introduction that he wrote as Yara effortlessly handed him a mic. Although they were in a room full of people - this song… these words were only for her.
"Could you be that fine love?
That 1949 love
That quiver in your spine love
That summer wine love"
Over the years, Jordan had fallen helplessly for the woman standing before him and when sitting down to write these vows, there were no true words that could contain his feelings for her. Jordan only looked at her as his voice met the mic, his fingers on her cheeks simply caressing her fair skin. She was…beautiful… and she was his. How… god how did he get so lucky?
"Just grab a warm body and pick up the key
You need somebody, somebody to be
You can’t count on timing or just wait and see
I’ll be that somebody, so settle for me"
I’ll be that somebody.… it was these four words that repeated in his mind as he started writing this song… or vow… technically it was supposed to be a vow that simply turned into a song as a melody played in his head reminding him only of Jezebel Parker. Over the past few years… even fans noted that Jordan hadn’t released any music. Did he create music for other artists? Yes. Did he choreograph for movies? Yes. But in the music world, he had been almost silent - only teasing songs he had in the works though they remained unreleased. This song… this song would also remain unreleased as far as Jordan was concerned, for this song was only for her. Only for Jezebel Williams and it would remain so until the end of his life.
Looking into her eyes, Jordan shot her a goofy smile, placing a strand of her hair behind her ear before moving his hand to her’s and softly spinning her around so that her back was against him and he could place his arms around her - swaying to his own voice and the orchestra behind him. He was honestly the luckiest man alive… there was no arguing with that fact. As the orchestra got louder, Jordan’s smile got just as big, placing a kiss on her cheek before continuing.
"Oh
I’ll give you all the affection
You’ve been craving
And when you’re ready
I’ll be waiting, waiting, baby
And I’ve got, I’ll give you all the affection
You’ve been craving
And when you’re ready
I’ll be waiting"
Turning her back around, he pulled her back towards him so she was looking back at him, keeping his hand in hers as he finished the song, the last words “I’ll be that somebody, so darlin’, If you’re ready to settle” . With that, the orchestra stopped and he handed the mic back to Yara before looking back at the future Jezebel Williams, “I love you, Tink… I always have and I always will… so if you’re ready to settle… I would be honored to call you my wife… my partner in crime… the woman I wake up to every morning, and the last person I see before I go to sleep. I…god I love you,” and with that, he finished - letting the pastor turn it over to Jezebel for her vow.
