I was very surprised to find out that I never posted this, my second songfic:

At the Beginning
by Esmeralda
I’ll never forget the first day I saw him, when he came into the Manor to fix the damage the shapeshifters had caused. Even as Phoebe flirted with him, I somehow knew that he would be the one. If only I knew everything we’d have to go through in order to be together. Overcoming my shyness, discovering that he has a secret even bigger than my own. Almost giving up on him in order to have a normal life with a normal man. Actually dying and having him bring me back to life. Having him taken away from me, the worst moment of my whole entire life. And finally getting him back when I finally admitted that our jobs, our duties as Charmed One and her whitelighter come before love.
We were strangers, starting out on a journey
Never dreaming, what we'd have to go through
But here we are, standing in front of Grams, our high priestess, my sisters, my bridesmaids, Dad and Mom here, YES! Mom alive for this very special day! All standing near me, near us.
Now here we are, I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you
I turn to look at him, thinking he looks more handsome dressed in that tux than I’ve ever seen him before. How could I possibly be so lucky to have found him, especially after all of the losers I was with before—Jeremy the warlock, Mark the ghost, Josh the grad student, Dan the mortal—none of them held a candle to my very own angel.
No one told me I was going to find you
Unexpected, what you did to my heart
No! No! Just when we were about to say our vows, suddenly my sister, my very own sister’s boyfriend has to come crashing through the door, making a mess of the whole place, even destroying my beautiful wedding cake that I worked so hard on! This is very simply not meant to be!
But my angel shakes his head. “I know that Piper and I were meant to be.”
When I lost hope, you were there to remind me
This is the start
And he’s right. A lot more has happened, but once more we’re standing in front of Grams, once more we are surrounded by family and friends, and this time we are able to say our vows.
And life is a road that I wanna keep going
Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
As Grams twines our hands in marriage and speaks the words that make us forever one, I thank my lucky stars that I never just “settled” as I came so very close to doing so many times.
I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart
As Grams says those magic words, “So mote it be” and everyone else repeats them, I know it will be. This is the start of our life together, my life as Piper Halliwell-Wyatt and I know that as long as Leo is at my side, we’ll somehow make it.
And life is a road that I wanna keep going
Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
Oh no! The clock is starting to strike twelve! Mom and Grams have to go back Up There at twelve!
“Hurry!” cries Grams. “Kiss her!”
And as everyone else cheers, I feel my new husband’s arms go around me and feel the love in his kiss. Slowly all of the cheering fade and for just a moment it’s just the two of us in our own little world.
But then we come back to reality and everyone hugs and congratulates us. I don’t believe it! We made it! We truly made it! Despite everything that has happened, my wedding day was truly perfect. I’m married! Married to my angel and surrounded by the people we love most!
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
