Summary: Chloe and Lex get married on a beach in Hawaii.
Chapter 1: The Wedding
Lex couldn’t believe his eyes as he surveyed the beauty around him. He was standing on a gorgeous beach staring out over a luscious ocean. But the most beautiful thing on this beach was not the sand or the waves that crashed upon it; it was the woman standing no more than ten feet away from him.
She’s the woman that he would wed in less than two hours. Today was their wedding day. Lex knew that it would be the best day of his life when he got out of bed that morning. For one day he wouldn’t have to worry about business or politics or even his father. One nice thing about having your wedding on a secluded beach in Hawaii was that it was pretty hard to find. Even if his father did find him, it would be too late. He would have married the woman of his dreams by then.
Chloe slowly walked over and came to stand behind him. She lightly wrapped her arms around him as she began to speak.
"A penny for your thoughts, my love," Chloe whispered into his ear
Lex turned around to face her. "I was just thinking that this is going to be the best day of my life."
"Awwww, that’s very sweet of you." She placed a quick kiss on his lips. "However, that doesn’t relieve you of your wedding duties. Now get over there and help us decorate. It’s almost time for the wedding."
Lex laughed as he followed her back over to the group of people who were setting up their wedding.
It had been Chloe’s idea to get married on a beach in Hawaii with only a few friends and family in attendance. Lex had always seen himself getting married in a church surrounded by hundreds of people he hardly knew. His first two marriages had started with big, impersonal ceremonies. That is one of the reasons Lex was so accepting of Chloe’s idea. He was a little skittish about going on another island though. Just a few years ago he had been stranded on an island for three months. But that island was no where near as lovely as this one. And to top it off, this beach had something the other one didn’t; his Chloe was here.
He could just look at her and tell that she was the one. He just knew he was going to spend the rest of his life with her. It was also comforting to know that she wasn’t just marrying him for his money. Even though Lex planned to spoil her every chance he got. It was also a relief to know that she wasn’t going to try to kill him on their wedding night. Lex knew that he and Chloe were destined for a happy ending, he could feel it in his heart.
Nerves and anticipation grew, as the hour at which they were to be married was almost upon them. Chloe had hurried off with her bride’s maids to get ready for the ceremony. Lex was left on the beach to hold down the fort until she returned. During that time, a nervous Gabe walked over to Lex and proceeded to give him "the talk". Lex didn’t want to admit it, but he was happy to be marrying into Chloe’s family. He and Gabe were already friends and this would be a chance for them to get closer. As corny as it sounded, Lex almost thought of Gabe as the father he never had.
Chloe’s father hadn’t actually supported the relationship in the beginning. But as time went by and he got to know Lex better, he didn't mind so much. Lex hadn’t even been that nervous the night he asked Gabe for Chloe’s hand in marriage. Lex looked forward to the future father-in-law/son-in-law moments he would experience with Gabe. Gabe is so different from his own father.
When Lionel had found out about Lex and Chloe, he did all he could to tear them apart. He tried his hardest to convince Lex that Chloe wasn’t good enough for him. Lex couldn’t believe how ridiculous his father was being. There were times when Lex felt he wasn’t good enough for Chloe. But in the end he knew that she was going to make him a better person; so he stuck with her. He vowed to be a man she could love for the rest of their lives.
Before he knew it, the ceremony was about to begin. He took his position at the alter they had had placed on the beach. His best man, Clark, and his groom’s man, Pete, came to stand next to him. Lex didn’t want to admit it but he was kind of nervous about getting married. But the moment he saw Chloe in her wedding dress, all his fears melted away.
Chloe slowly followed her bride’s maids, Lana and Lois, as they walked across the beach. She met up with her father and they got into position for the wedding to begin.
As soon as the music began to play, Lois and Lana began sauntering down the aisle, followed by Chloe and Gabe.
"You look beautiful, sweetheart," Gabe whispered as they walked down the aisle, towards Lex.
"Thank you, Daddy," Chloe whispered in reply.
Lex could hardly breathe as Chloe approached him. There were not words to describe how beautiful she looked. She was wearing a plain white wedding dress. It was simple yet elegant with spaghetti straps. It clung to her body in all the right places. Her hair was delicately pinned up. They had decided to get married right as the sun was setting and Lex loved how the sunlight reflected off of her, making her seem to glow. She looked like a fairy tale princess. She made him feel like Prince Charming on a tall, white horse.
Lex gently grasped her hand as she approached him. He couldn’t stop staring into her hazel eyes, which seemed to sparkle. All Lex could focus on was the woman standing in front of him. He hardly heard a word the preacher who was performing the ceremony said. He almost didn’t hear when it was his turn to speak. But he snapped out of it just in time to say his part. He knew that he meant every word of his vows to the depths of his soul. "I, Alexander Joseph Luthor, take thee, Chloe Elizabeth Sullivan, to be my wedded wife. To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness or in health, to love and to cherish 'till death do us part."
Then it was Chloe’s turn to say her vows. As she spoke the words, she didn’t have a doubt in her mind about Lex. She knew that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him. "I, Chloe Elizabeth Sullivan, take thee, Alexander Joseph Luthor, to be my wedded husband. To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, 'till death do us part."
As she said the words, she peered into Lex’s deep blue eyes. They looked calm and so filled with happiness. She was sure that the same emotions were mirrored in her own hazel eyes, because she was feeling the exact same thing he was. It was if they were becoming one person right at that moment. They were becoming one soul as their two separate lives became one.
Lex continued to keep eye contact with Chloe even as he placed the ring on her finger. He smiled as he remembered Chloe hinting at the engagement ring she really wanted. They were out shopping one day and they stopped by a jewelry store. The moment Chloe laid eyes on that ring she knew it was made for her finger. It was a simple ring made of white gold and topped with a small simple diamond. If it had been up to Lex, he would have bought her a ring with the biggest diamond known to man. But Chloe wasn’t into flashy material possessions. She liked to keep things simple, and that ring was perfect in her eyes. For weeks she had hinted to Lex that when the time came she wanted him to propose with that ring. Lex shocked her by dropping the question over a casual dinner a few weeks later. She wasn’t expecting it at all.
Before he proposed, Chloe and Lex had only been dating, on and off, for less than a year. That’s why his proposal had been such a surprise. But Chloe didn’t have to think twice about her answer. She knew she was going to say yes even before he asked the question. And here they were, not even three weeks after they had got engaged, in the middle of their wedding ceremony.
Lex was worried that things were moving too fast for Chloe. But they were moving at a perfect pace for him. He knew that she was the one from the first time they confessed their feelings for each other. They were in his office and he just couldn’t stand for her not to know how he felt about her. So he told her and then kissed her. She had pulled back from the kiss at first because she was shocked. He was about to apologize for his hasty behavior but, before he got a word out, Chloe had covered his mouth with hers. It turned out that Chloe had the exact same feelings for him. He knew at that moment that he’d never let her go again.
They’d had a rocky relationship up until now. It seemed like things were always breaking them apart. One time they had separated because of Lionel’s disapproval. And another time they broke up because Lex didn’t want to lose Clark as a friend. But they finally learned how to block the rest of world out and be happy together. And at this moment Lex didn’t know if he could be any happier.
It was like music to both their ears when the preacher announced, "I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Lex was beaming as his lips descended upon Chloe’s. It was their first kiss of their new life together. The only word that came to Lex’s mind was ‘perfect’. He knew that word would also describe the life they were about to spend together
When they pulled back from the kiss, Chloe whispered "I love you." She was still so close to him that he could feel her breath on his lips.
"I love you too, Chloe," Lex replied. He placed one more quick kiss on her lips.
Then they turned to the audience and began to walk down the aisle as soon as they heard the preacher say, "I now present you, Mr. and Mrs. Luthor."
They had decided to have a short reception before they hurried off to their wedding night. Lex and Chloe shared a couple of dances on the dance floor that Lex had insisted they have. He didn’t like the idea of dancing in the sand.
For Chloe, it felt wonderful just to be near her new husband. She hoped that they could be this close for the rest of their lives. She wanted to stay in his arms forever as they danced to their song. It felt as if they were dancing on clouds.
After a few dances, Lex sat down to watch as Chloe shared a dance with her father. He wondered how he could love someone so much. She just seemed perfect to him in every way. She was someone that he could banter with, a little ritual he liked to call ‘verbal judo.’ She knew about famous authors, poems, Greek mythology and so much more. She was a smart, beautiful, woman, and to him she was perfect and nothing could ever change that.
Chloe walked over and handed him a glass of champagne. She laughed as he eyed it suspiciously.
"Don’t worry, Lex, I didn’t slip anything into it," Chloe joked.
"Good, cause I’d hate to wake up chained to a bed post in a cheap hotel."
"Well I guess we’ll have to save that for our second honey moon," Chloe snarked.
"In the mean time, I purpose a toast to my beautiful wife, the new Mrs. Luthor."
"Cheers," Chloe replied, as she raised her glass.
Lex grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her into his lap so quickly she almost spilled her drink on him.
"Lex, you’re insane," Chloe laughed.
"I’m sorry. I just can’t stand being away from you for a moment," Lex whispered in her ear.
Lex began placing delicate kisses on her bare shoulders. He could hardly believe that soon they would be enjoying their first night together. Just the thought of them in bed together making love made his body instantly harden.
She looked so beautiful in her wedding dress but all he could think about was getting her out of it. If he kept on thinking like that then he wasn’t going to make it to the wedding night.
"I have a present for you, Chloe," Lex announced.
"Oh really?" Chloe replied.
Lex reached into his pocket and handed her a set a keys.
"What’s this?" Chloe questioned as she turned to face him.
"It’s the keys to our new beach house."
"What?"
"Do you remember that little beach house you were eyeing when we came here to scout out beaches for the wedding?"
Chloe nodded. "Oh please tell me you didn’t Lex."
"I did," Lex admitted.
"Oh my God!" Chloe squealed. "I can’t believe this." She threw her arms around his neck in a warm embrace.
"Well I just thought it’d make a nice wedding present. And just think, one day we’ll be able to bring our kids here and show them the place where we got married."
"Oh, so we have kids now? Is that another surprise?" Chloe questioned with a smirk.
"No, we don’t have kids yet. But we might after tonight," Lex said in a husky voice.
Chloe blushed a little and leaned in to kiss Lex. She pulled back from the kiss to say. "Thank you so much for this, Lex."
"It’s my pleasure," Lex whispered in reply.
"Can we go to the beach house now?" Chloe questioned eagerly.
Lex let out a little laugh. "You want to leave all of our guests?"
"I’m sure they’ll understand," Chloe replied.
"As much as I’d like to we can’t go yet. We still have to cut the cake."
Chloe groaned. "But I want to go right now."
"I promise we’ll make it there soon enough."
Chloe stood up and grabbed Lex by the hand. "Come on! Let’s go cut that stupid cake so I can go see my beach house."
Lex laughed as he followed his eager bride over to the cake. They’d had a small cake prepared because they knew there wouldn’t be a lot of the people at the wedding.
When they were finished with the cake, cutting they quickly thanked their guests for coming.
Chloe laughed when her dad wouldn’t stop hugging her. He was a little reluctant to let go of his baby girl. But all in all he knew that Lex would take care of Chloe.
Chloe and Lex bid everyone a final farewell before they headed off to their new beach house.
Chloe was both excited and nervous about her wedding night. Lex had always been so good to her by providing her with her heart’s desires. He only proved that more by buying the beach house for Chloe. Chloe thought that if she loved him anymore, she would explode. She looked forward to what was sure to be one of many wonderful nights they would be spending together. She knew that he was going to be a caring and loving husband to her. And one day he would be a caring and loving father to their children. She silently thanked God for creating such a thing as marriage. The thought of two people spending one lifetime joined as one filled her heart with happiness. Chloe sighed.
"I love you, Lex," Chloe whispered.
"I love you too, Chloe," Lex replied.
They knew that this was the best day of their lives so far, and it could only get better as their first night together began.
