I can't help seeing zolu when I hear wedding vows, they describe their relationship almost perfectly... Replace husband by captain, partner or first mate, and you have pretty much everything they'd say to each other, if they were actually talking...

----------------------------------------------------------
"I am proud to be yours and to join my life with yours. I vow to support you, inspire you, and love you always. For as long as we both shall live, I will be by your side for better or worse, in sickness and health, for richer or poorer. I pledge to honour you all the days of my life.
I love you with my whole heart with a passion that can't be expressed in words, only in glances and years of adventure by your side.
I promise to be your honest, faithful, and trustworthy husband for the rest of my days.
Today I say, "I do" but to me that means, "I will." I will take your hand and stand by your side in the good and the bad. I dedicate myself to your happiness, success, and smile. I will love you forever.
I promise to be your guiding light in the darkness, a warming comfort in the cold, and a shoulder to lean on when life is too much to bear on your own.
Give me your hand, and I will give you mine forever.
I vow to always protect you from harm, to stand with you against your troubles, and to look to you when I need protection.
Once I heard "There is no remedy for love but to love more". Today and forever, I will follow this advice and seek my remedy in your arms.
You make me laugh, you inspire me, and above all, you make me happy.
I promise to be your navigator, best friend, and companion. I promise to honor, love, and cherish you through all our adventures. Wherever we go, we'll go together.
I will love you in word and deed. I will laugh with you, cry with you, scream with you, grow with you, and craft with you. Loving what I know of you and trusting what I don't yet know, I give you my hand. I give you my soul. I give you myself, the good, the bad, and the yet to come. I trust you with my life.
You love me and complete me in ways I never knew possible. From this day forth, I promise to listen to you and learn from you, to support you and accept your support. I will celebrate your successes and mourn your losses as though they were my own.
How lucky am I to call you mine ? Your love and trust makes me a better person, each and every day. For all those times that we've been together, there's always been a mutual understanding that's only shared when two people cherish each other truly. You were there for my greatest challenges. You encouraged me to grow. You helped believe in myself and become the person that I am today. In your arms and by your side, I know I can do anything.
Yes, I am proud to call you my mine."

Valyrian Wedding Rituals & Its Parallels
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Among the people who came to inhabit Northumbria and the Lothians, as well as among other Germanic peoples, the nuptials were completed in two distinct phases. (…) The parties plighted their troth and the contract was sealed, like any other contract, by a hand-shake. This joining of hands was called handfæstung in Anglo-Saxon, and the same word is found in different forms in the German, Swedish and Danish languages. In each it means a pledge by the giving of the hand.” Handfasting' in Scotland - The Scottish Historical Review; Anton, A. E. (1958)
“In ancient Rome, a wedding was a sacred ritual involving many religious practices. (…) In a Roman wedding both sexes had to wear specific clothing. Men had to wear the toga virilis while the bride to wear a wreath, a veil, and a yellow hairnet.” Women's Costume and Feminine Civic Morality in Augustan Rome; Sebesta, Judith Lynn (1997)
“ When the terms of the ketubah were accepted a cup of wine was shared to seal the marriage covenant. (…) The bride and groom shared the same cup, symbolizing the shared life that would be theirs. (…) Wine in Judaism has always symbolized joy. (…) Wine also symbolized blood. The marriage covenant is a blood covenant in the eyes of God. Two lives become one in a lifelong commitment.” The Ancient Jewish Wedding; Lash, Jamie (2012)

Until The End of Eternity-Leona Kingscholar x Fem! Reader
Tumblr media
Summary: Leona has proposed to (Y/n) and they are taking their first step into holy matrimony as husband and wife.
My submission for twistedchatterboxed's April collab: Day 29. Rings.
Word Count: 1,444 words.
Enjoy!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leona stood stoically at the alter as everyone from Night Raven College, including the royal family, was being seated. He was dressed in an dapper white tuxedo with a purple heliotrope as his boutineer. His long, chocolate-colored locks were tied up into a neat ponytail.
The venue around him was decorated from top to bottom with exotic flowers and white streamers. It reminded Leona of the Fairy Gala that took place in the Botanical Garden. "Too shiny..." he thought.
Leona could still hardly believe that he was actually getting married to (Y/n). If someone told him that the new female student who accidentally stepped on his tail would be his future wife, he would've laughed directly in their face, not believing them.
Back in the past, he never gave marriage any thought. Who would ever love and marry someone like him, a loathed second-born prince without a future? Someone would be clearly insane to fall in love with a guy as lowly as him.
So when he encountered (Y/n) once in the Botanical Garden after you accidentally stepped on his tail, twice during the Inter-Dorm Magical Shift Tournament and his Overblot, and three times after you traded your dorm to Azul and spent three nights in his dorm room, he started to develop warm feelings towards you.
At first, they were annoying. Every time (Y/n) would enter the Botanical Garden, Leona's ears would twitch, and his heart would throb with anticipation, hoping to hear your approaching footsteps.
There was also another time when you kissed him right on the cheek as thanks for helping you with a difficult task ordered by Crowley, curse that old crow. He blushed as he felt his heart skip a beat. No other woman, besides his mother and sister-in-law, had ever kissed him before.
This was the first time he had ever been kissed by another woman.
He hated how warm, sweet and fuzzy those feelings were. Was he really falling for you? No way! Why would he ever fall for someone like you, a magicless nobody from another world? He tried to push down those warm, fuzzy feelings until the events of the Fairy Gala.
He recalled how beautiful you truly looked in that pristine white gown with gossamer butterfly wings. Your (H/l) (H/c) hair was woven into little pigtails adorned with daisies and cherry blossoms.
He felt as if time around him had suddenly stopped as he gazed at you. You truly looked like a fairy princess. Even after you were soaked during you and Ruggie's attempt to evade the fairy guards, you still looked ethereal with the water droplets adorning your hair like jewels.
Along with the daisies and cherry blossoms in your hair, you still looked even more beautiful than the Fairy Queen herself. Those warm, fuzzy feelings spiked when you smiled that lovely smile at him.
Leona couldn't figure out how a magicless girl like you from another world had managed to tear down the iron walls guarding his indifferent heart and made him feel important and loved, even after you two started dating. It's such a mystery...
"Thinkin' about something, Leona-san?" Ruggie asked, snapping Leona out of his thoughts. Ruggie was standing behind Leona, clad in a white tuxedo. He was chosen to be his best man.
"Huh? What are you talking about, Ruggie?" he asked. Ruggie just grinned mischievously. "Thinkin' back to the day (Y/n)-kun stepped on your tail in the Botanical Garden?" he asked. Leona just rolled his eyes. "No way. As if I'd ever think of something painful." he scoffed.
"Still trying to deny your feelings for her?" Ruggie asked smugly. Leona glared at him. "Shut it, Ruggie." he quietly snarled. Then, the wedding march began, and everyone stood from their seats, including the King of Briar Valley himself, Malleus Draconia.
(Y/n) insisted that he'd be invited to your wedding, much to Leona's great reluctance. Malleus was quite overjoyed when he received the invitation to attend his friend's wedding and he gave Leona and you his blessing.
First came the bridesmaids, then Grim who was the flower boy. Grim threw out rose petals from his basket as he walked down the aisle. Then came Cheka, walking down the aisle carrying a lilac satin pillow in his hands. Two branded golden rings were nestled on the pillow.
Then the bride, (Y/n) came. Leona felt his heart freeze at the sight of you. You were clad in a sleeveless, pristine white gown, generously given to you by his sister-in-law, the Queen.
Your face was hidden behind a shimmering gossamer veil, and around your neck was a glittering diamond necklace. On your arms were white opera gloves, and in your hand was a bouquet of Sunset Savannah's traditional wedding flowers.
Your other hand was holding the hand of Divus Crewel as you walked down the aisle in time with the march. You looked incredibly beautiful. As soon as (Y/n) reached the alter, you let go of Crewel's hand and he sat in his seat near the rest of the NRC staff.
"Dearly beloved, we have all gathered here on this joyous day to witness the union of Leona Kingscholar and (Y/n) (L/n)." the parishioner began. "May the noble kings of the past smile upon this young couple as they bear witness to their union as one in holy matrimony."
And so, Leona and (Y/n) began your vows as you two faced the statue of the King of Beasts. "Here stands Leona Kingscholar." Leona began solemnly. "And here stands (Y/n) (L/n)." (Y/n) followed.
"Upon this day, we promise to share the joys and tears of our lives together until the end of our days." you said in unison. The parishioner then motioned Cheka to hand the rings over to Leona and (Y/n). Leona took one of the rings and faced (Y/n).
"(Y/n), I, Leona Kingscholar, take you as my lawfully wedded wife. I vow to be the pillar that will lift you high so you could stand tall, to hold your hand through sickness and health, to lend an hand to banish your woes. With this ring, I pledge my everlasting love and fidelity to you until the end of eternity."
After he said his vow, he slipped the gold ring onto your finger. Leona's heart hammered in his chest as he made that vow. He honestly wasn't one to make sappy wedding vows like this, but this is something new and sacred to him.
He is about to start a new chapter in his life with the woman he loves. (Y/n) blushed. Leona can be quite charming sometimes, even when he's saying his wedding vow for the first time.
Then it was your turn to say your vow. "Leona, I, (Y/n) (L/n), take you as my lawfully wedded husband, I vow to be the rock that holds you up so you could stand tall, to light your way through your darkest days, to be the hand that lifts your sorrows. With this ring, I pledge my everlasting love and fidelity to you until the end of eternity." (Y/n) said as you slipped the other ring onto Leona's finger.
"Then, by the power vested in me, with the blessing of the kings of the past, I now pronounce you husband and wife." the parishioner declared. "You may now kiss the bride."
Leona didn't hesitate as he removed the veil from (Y/n)'s face, brought you closer to him and pressed a sweet, deep kiss onto your lips. As you two kissed, a resounding cheer rang out as Leona and (Y/n)'s friends from NRC whooped and cheered. Malleus and Kifaji just smiled proudly.
Even Falena wiped away his tears of joy with a handkerchief as his wife patted his back with a beaming smile on her face. Not only did Leona look so happy, but it also looks like they'll be gaining a new sister-in-law. You and Leona were truly meant for each other.
Leona broke away from the kiss as he gazed at his new bride lovingly. "You look so ravishing, herbivore." he purred. "I could just eat you up." (Y/n) giggled. "Easy there, my king. Shouldn't you call me Mrs. Kingscholar now since we're married?" you asked playfully.
Leona smiled. "Nah, you're still my herbivore. I don't need to address you by some fancy-schmancy title, even though you're now my wife." he said before he leaned in and kissed (Y/n) again.
Cheka clapped and smiled in jubilation as he watched his uncle kiss his new aunt. He was so happy that he has a new aunt. He now has a new playmate! And speaking of playmates, maybe he might also get a new cousin...

*at their wedding*
Nagato: And now, we will hear the vows that our grooms have written themselves. Hidan?
Hidan, softly: Kakuzu. Old bastard. I feel more deeply for you than words could ever express. You treat me with more kindness and adoration than I think I deserve, but I’m planning on spending the rest of our lives giving you that same devotion back. Thank you for bringing happiness into my life. Being your partner was great, being your boyfriend was fuckin’ fantastic, and now, being your husband will be my biggest adventure yet. *slips a ring over his finger* I love you, Kakuzu. 
Nagato, trying to subtly brush away tears: T-thank you, Hidan. Now you, Kakuzu.
Kakuzu: *takes both of Hidan’s hands and leans close, looking into his eyes*
Kakuzu: Hidan … when filing taxes, the standard deduction for a single filer is somewhere around $13,000. However, the standard deduction for filing as a married couple is nearly $30,000. Therefore, it’s in our best interests to —

I wish I could promise you the world, but the world isn’t mine to give. What I do promise is my world, and all it entails. My love, support, passion, compassion, and enthusiasm.
I wish I could promise smooth sailing, but the winds aren’t mine to control. What I do promise is a ship built to carry you to safety, and sails to weather any storm.
I wish I could promise you forever, but someone infinitely greater than I already has. What I do promise is every second of this sliver of eternity I’ve been given.
I wish I could promise you riches, but every vault has it’s end. What I do promise you is a life of abundance—An abundance of love and support, of strength and vulnerability, of sharing and drive, of passion, and of adventure.
I can’t even promise I’ll never hurt you, because even the best of intentions sometimes fall short. What I do promise is to always reach for you over my pride; to hold you, to heal you, and to seek forgiveness.
But in whatever manner it comes to be, love is never wrong and persists, especially between one who has so much of it to give, and one so desperately in need of it.
We deserve a soft epilogue, my love.

Be My Valentine - 4
With Your Hand In Mine
Tumblr media
(G) 900 words
WW2 AU Soldier!Louis Tomlinson x Doctor!Harry Styles (2/3)
Tw implied time period accurate homophobia
“You have got to stop fiddlin’ wit’ those,” Niall snapped, swatting his hand away from the posy of lavenders in his breast pocket. 
“They’re wonky,” Louis frowned. 
“I’m sure those flowers’ll be the last thing on Harry’s mind right now.”
OR
Louis is about to marry Harry. And he simply can't wait.
A/N: Part 2 of the ww2 AU! idk why but i love this sm. If stuff falls into place (read: my schedule allows) I might make them a recurring thing!)
Title from Louis' 'We Made It'
Tumblr media
Louis stood in front of his mirror, anxiously smoothing down the lapels of his jacket, He glanced out of the window, eyes roving over the expanse of green. If he squinted, he could just make out the spot by the thicket of pine.
The spot where they were going to get married. He felt his stomach twist with excitement, but all of it was tinged with an irrational fear of someone somehow finding out. He was loath to accept the fact that he could never acknowledge the union, let alone dream of actually being somewhere with him, out. 
But they didn’t need a piece of paper from the city hall or the church. 
They were in love. And all the people that mattered to them knew and supported them. What more could Louis ask for?
Tumblr media
Louis stood at the top of the staircase with Niall, going over his vows one last time. They had written their own, and he absolutely did not want to forget a word. 
Niall was a good lad. He had met him when he had been to Ireland on a hunting trip with some cousins of his that he never wanted to go to in the first place. Looking back now, he was grateful he did. 
He had met Niall at the pub, and they had fallen into an easy conversation. When Louis had mentioned a vacancy at the local newspaper one of his friends owned, Niall had jumped at the chance. He had moved to London shortly after, renting out a place close to him and Louis couldn’t have been more glad for the company.
He was one of the first people who wasn’t family whom they had trusted with his and Harry’s relationship. He had contacts with the local police for his work, and while Harry had been hesitant, it was a risk Louis had been willing to take. He had grown to trust Niall completely.
Niall had taken a bit of time to get used to it, to accept it (it had been an intense few days, Louis nearly jumping out of his skin whenever someone knocked at his door). Still, he had come around fully, even putting forward ideas for an underground newsletter he could help write for. 
“You have got to stop fiddlin’ wit’ those,” Niall snapped, swatting his hand away from the posy of lavenders in his breast pocket. 
“They’re wonky,” Louis frowned. 
“I’m sure those flowers’ll be the last thing on Harry’s mind right now.” Niall pursed his lips, cracking a small smile when Louis nodded back, “Okay now, one last time, then we’ll head out,”
Tumblr media
Louis rushed across the lawn, skirting puddles formed by the rain overnight. The sky was a clear and dazzling blue now, though, and Louis hoped it would stay that way. 
He rushed to hug his sisters, who were setting up the chairs. All of them expressed their excitement for Harry and him, and he knew he was lucky to have a family like this, all of it, and felt tears welling up. He had to hold back from breaking down completely, feeling like iron bands were tightening around his chest when they brought up their mum.
He missed her terribly. He still remembered the day he had told her about Harry when she was proposing his debut into London society. Much like the rest of the people they had told, she had been quick at putting aside her initial prejudices, accepting and supporting him, even going as far as to make them all skip sermon where the preacher was to talk about the fate that met the ‘homosexuals’ despite her receiving flak for it from the neighbours afterward.
All the memories came flooding back, making the moment bittersweet. He regretted that she wasn’t here, that she couldn’t give them her blessing, but Louis was grateful she had gotten to meet Harry and had grown to love him. He had to hold on to the good times, that’s what she would have wanted.
He gently drew away, going to greet the rest of the lads, thanking them effusively for their help. It was by no means an official ceremony, but they could still get in trouble if word was to somehow get out. All of them were putting themselves at risk just being there, and Louis was once again hit by a wave of gratitude.
Tumblr media
They had debated about wheeling about the piano from the parlor, Harry refusing point blank to attract any unnecessary attention, even though the estate spanned more area than any neighbor’s ears possibly could.
He was regretting giving in to Harry right now. Watching him walk down the row between the chairs, the small handful of guests smiling at him, arm interlinked with Anne’s. He would have given anything to have Mendelssohn’s notes floating up as he took Harry’s hand, smiling at Anne. 
He took in the lavenders tucked into his breast pocket, mirroring his own, wanting to say something but feeling like the words were stuck in his throat. He truly was speechless. 
His smile widened as Niall came forward with the open ring boxes, metal glinting in the sunlight. 
Harry was going to be his husband.
Louis really couldn’t ask for anything more.

Maybe the idea of love ending being a negative thing is simply a matter of perspective. Because to me, the idea that a love can come to an end means that, at some point, there was love that existed.

by @timecanalwayshealyou for the @bemyvalentinechallenge
“Alexander Gabriel Claremont-Diaz,” Henry sighs, hands clasped in front of him. “Alexander, Gabriel, Claremont-Diaz, now also a Hanover-Stuart Fox; god, look at us.” Alex laughs.
Alex and Henry’s past together has been complicated; but then again, so the future will be, too.

“Carlos, when I first met you you looked at me as if you knew something about me that I didn't know myself. You saw me for the man I hadn't yet become and you lit the path for me to get there. I've spent so long feeling like I didn't deserve happiness or even a future, like maybe I was too broken. But you changed that. Whenever I see you, whenever I'm with you, I feel whole. And I vow, Carlos Reyes, to take care and nurture your heart for the rest of my life as if it was my very own."
"Tyler Kennedy Strand, you were the dream I would not allow myself to have. I've lived my life in so much fear, closed off, shut down in ways I didn't realise. You are the key that unlocked me. The fact that I'm standing here with you today, before God, my family, everyone, is nothing short of a miracle. You're a miracle TK Strand. My miracle. And the greatest adventure of my life. And no matter where the journey takes us, I vow to be by your side. I vow to be the caretaker of your wild heart."
