Ted | Marrying Mildew

It's definitely not a big wedding. The only attendees are your concerned and creeped out parents and the mold. Not to mention it was taking place inside your own house. Still, for the first time ever Ted had a smile on his face, a big, wide grin that almost made his usually dead eyes sparkle. He had tried to look nice for today, dressing up in a random tuxedo that he found at a thrift store when he was shopping in the middle of the night, his hair brushed and neat, his body washed, shampooed and cleaned. Sort of. Aside from the usual mildew that made up his body, he was clean! His foot tapped excitedly on the creaky wooden floorboards, the rot that stuck to the house's walls dancing and moving, vibrating with nerves that he shared. A wedding. This was something Ted never even had thought of happening, and before you brought it up he barely understood (or cared) for the concept. Yet now that it was happening all he could think about was the ways he might mess it up! Were people usually this nervous during their weddings? The priest, uncomfortable at all the mold around the room, though not nearly as perturbed as your parents began reading out the usual blabber at weddings. Ted counted down the seconds until he finished, repeating his vows in his head over and over again until he had to finally say it. "I..." Ted took a deep breath, his hands shaking so much he almost dropped the ring. He looked into your eyes, and he found comfort in your gaze. "You make me feel normal. In a world that finds me disgusting you never looked at me that way." he started, his voice steady, the usual monotony still there, but there was a hint of emotion in his tone. "I don't think words can describe how I feel. I don't think a simple paragraph or any vow or promise could possibly be able- be able to let you know how much I love you. No. I don't think love is the right word. it's not strong enough. But until I find the right words to convey how important you are to me, I'll tell you I love you a thousand times a day." It was the most he ever spoke in one go!
