The Hardest Part Is Letting Go Of Your Dreams

The next morning I wake up before Frank and lock myself in the bathroom having a mini freak out. I have never been more sure of anything in my life but the little voice in my head keeps saying "It's your wedding day and Frank doesn't know. It would be such a shame if he didn't really mean it. You'll look like such an idiot." When I pull myself together I go back into the room and Frank is just waking up. I look at the clock and see we have an hour and a half until we need to be there so I crawl onto the bed and kiss Frank fully awake before pulling away and telling him to go shower and dress because we need to get going soon for his surprise. While he's in the shower I run out to the car and grab my clothes and the rings and go back to the room, getting changed into my black pants and button up shirt and slipping the rings into my pocket. When Frank steps out of the bathroom he looks at me and frowns saying "I don't have anything nice to wear" but I cut him off, saying "Babe you look perfect" commenting on his jeans and shirt. I walk over and wrap my arms around him before pressing a kiss to his forehead and pulling away saying "Let's get going babe I have a big date planned." Frank smiles and we leave the room hand in hand, me freaking out and praying he can't feel how much my palms are sweating. Halfway to the office we are heading to I pull out my phone and see we have about fifteen minutes so I slip it back in and quicken our pace a little. When we stop outside the building Frank looks at me confused before I say I just wanna check on something before pulling him inside with me. When we walk inside I catch the receptionists eye and she smiles at me before leaving her desk and ushering us into a room that is decorated nicely with a few bunches of flowers on tables either side of the door. Inside the room is the judge who will be marrying us and two other people who will be witnessing our marriage for legal purposes. Once the receptionist closes the door behind us Frank tugs on my hand and when I look at him he looks upset and says "Gee what's going on? Why are we here." I smile before wrapping my arms around him and saying "This is a judge Frankie. He's going to marry us." Frank pulls back, staring at me in disbelief before his face breaks into a huge grin and he yells out "Oh my god babe this is incredible" and launching himself into my arms again. I smile wide and hug back before we pull apart and walk hand in hand across the room to the judge. The judge starts the ceremony and when it comes time for the rings I pull them from my pocket and slide Franks onto his finger as I promise to love him and stick by his side no matter what, forever, glad the ring is the perfect size. Then I give him my ring and he slides it on my finger while he promises the rest of his life to me and the judge pronounces us husbands. I can't contain myself any longer and I scoop Frank into my arms, wrapping his legs around my waist as I kiss him like I never want to stop and he clings to me, kissing back with just as much love and feeling behind it. When we finally break apart I put him down and we sign all the paperwork and the judge officially changes Franks name to Frank Way. We leave the office hand in hand, me carrying our marriage certificate with the biggest smile I've ever had on my face. Outside we sit on a bench and just stare at each other before Frank grins again and says "Oh my god Gee we're married." I smile back before I sit the certificate on the bench and take Franks left hand in mine, linking our fingers together over the certificate so our rings are visible and taking a picture on my phone, sending it to Mikey. A few minutes later Mikey sends back a completely unintelligible message before another comes through saying "Please tell me this isn't a joke." I send back a smiley face and leave it at that, putting the phone back in my pocket and standing up, taking my husbands hand in mine and making our way back to the motel.
