"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the union of these two souls. Through trials of hardship, loss, and pain, these two have learnt and grown in love. It is this love that we come together to celebrate. Dean, please take Castiel's hand in yours."

"Dean its perfect. I love it." Cas cooed, eyeing the one story townhouse that they both stood in front of.

Dean looked uncertain, but after looking in Cas's eyesn he could see how much Cas really loved this house. "I love it too."

The two had been house hunting for almost a year now but it was hard to find something they both wanted in their price range. That's when Dean's friend Benny told him that he was selling his townhouse just outside the city.

The house was red brick with a porch in front. There was an apple tree in the front yard that was in blossom. Inside, there was a small kitchen, a dining room, a living room, a bath room, and a bedroom.

The next few months were lots of paperwork and mortgages and exhausting efforts to keep Dean from punching people in the face, but on July 30, 2015, the two moved into their home.

All through the summer, Cas and Dean argued over paint colors and new furniture and whether of not Dean could have his 'man cave' in the living room. No matter how much they bickered, Dean couldn't imagine a better feeling than waking up every morning with Cas in his arms.

The house was finished in mid-August. Dean had conceded to let Cas pick out all the furniture except for the living room, which meant Dean could get his man cave. Their house ended up being a beautiful representation of the two.

Dean's side was harsh and leather and worn, but was well balanced by the softer touches added by Castiel. It was somewhere they could both call home.

-1 year prior-

"Yeah Sam, Chelsea and Jake were a breeze. You act like I never had to take care of children before." Dean comforted Sam who had stopped by to pick up his kids after he and Ruby had gone on date night.

Those two had no problem following the stereotypical American Dream after the wedding. The ceremony was sappy and all that jazz and then they bought a white picket fence house and adopted a dog.

Soon enough Ruby was ready to pop with a little Sammy. That's when they had little baby Chelsea, then a year and a half later they had Jake. Dean never resented Sammy for it, but he wished that he could have a family.

Adoption seemed difficult without marriage. That's when he got a great idea. In secret, he began following the legal proceedings of Kansas's gay marriage bill. After months and months of fighting, the bill passed.

He had been planning for this night for 3 years and when it came down to it, it had to be perfect. "Okay Dean, what's the big surprise?" Cas questioned, sitting shot gun as Dean gazed up at the huge screen. They were parked in a field where they screened movies in a drive in of sorts.

Cas was too busy trying to figure out what Dean was up to to notice no one else was there. "You'll see, be patient." Cas just shrugged, rolling his eyes. He leaned in, resting his head on Dean's chest.

Dean nudged for Cas to lift his head then got out of the car. A few feet in front of them lay a picnic blanket. The two sat, and it was a quiet romantic moment as the screen lit up.

"What movie is it tonight anyway?" Dean didn't answer as the movie began, he just smiled hugely at the screen. "4 years ago, two men met, and the world has never been the same since." A narrative voice read as pictures of Cas an Dean scurried across the screen.

"They've grown in love and grown together to form a bond that not even time can break. They've faced hard times and happy times, and with their 5 year anniversary coming up, it only seems right to take the next step."

With that the montage cut out, leaving a blank screen. Watching Cas's face carefully, he turned to the love of his life and got down on one knee. "No words can describe how much I love you, and no one will ever be able to love me as much as you do. Castiel James Novak, will you marry me?"

Cas's eyes filled with tears and nodded vigorously at Dean. He pressed his lips against Dean's as he cryed. "Yes Dean!" He squealed, holding out his hand as Dean put on the ring. Kidding him once more, he smiled through tears. "I love you Dean".

-Present-

All the wedding stuff had happened fast, and now all that was left was the vows, rings, and I dos. Cas had elected to go first.

"Dean Smith. Every single moment since I have met you has been the happiest moment of my life. Whether it was when sparks literally flew, or just a quiet night at home, life with you is never boring. A wise man once said, 'Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.' I now know that this is true because you are my strength and I'm your courage, and together I know we can survive anything."

There were claps from the guests and a cry of "awwwwww", and then it was Dean's turn.

"What can I say about our love that hasn't already been said? You and I have been together for nearly 6 years and every morning that I wake up to find you there is a gift. We've been through hell and back, and we are still standing. I love you so much and nothing will ever change that. You're not just my courage, you're my everything and I can't imagine my life without you. You're the greatest thing that has ever happened to my average in exciting small town life."

The two made eye contact and smiled so genuinely at one another. "Love is a gift that these two will receive every day of their lives." The priest called forth the rings, and they each placed their ring on the other.

"Dean Smith, do you take Castiel Novak as your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold? In sickness and in health? For richer or poorer? Til death do you part?" The priest called out, with an immediate "I do." from Dean.

" and Castiel Novak, do you take Dean Smith as your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold? In sickness and in health? For richer or poorer? Til death do you part?" Cas cried out "I do." with tears in his eyes.

He mouthed 'I love you' to Dean as the priest proclaimed, "by the power invested in me by the state of Kansas, I now pronounce you husband and husband, you may kiss the groom." And with that final salute, Dean and Cas kissed. It was sweet and lingering, but all too short for them. The good news is, they have all the time in the world.
