A/N: OK. So I've been noticing a distinct lack of Lackson fics recently and have decided to try and do something about that. Ever since I saw Bride Wars, I've had this idea in my head. It will keep to a similar storyline but there will be some major differences too. Please review and let me know what you think.
Disclaimer: I don't own Hannah Montana, The Malibu Beach Inn or the movie Bride Wars.
Chapter 1: The Princess Bride.
Miley's POV
I still remember the day as vividly as it was yesterday. Lilly's mum had taken Lilly, Oliver and I out to lunch at the Malibu Beach Inn. It was June and we were only 8 years old. Lilly and I had were wearing our best dresses and felt like royalty in such a nice hotel. Oliver didn't really care and was concentraitng more or what he was eating then his surroundings. Lilly's mum had gone to pay the check and to go the toilet leaving Lilly, Oliver and I to roam around the lobby of the hotel.
Lilly and I were standing by a wall pretending to be cool and trying to make it look like we stayed at places like this all the time. However whenever we would make eye contact with each other we would burst into a thousand giggles. Oliver had started off standing with us but after a few minutes had gone to sit in one of the couches and pretended like he didn't know us. It was during this time that our lives changed forever. While we were waiting a princess, or at least to me and Lilly that was what it seemed like, came into the lobby. She was wearing a beautiful white dress and had a tiara on her head. Just as she passed by us a pretty blue pin fell out of her hair. Lilly bent down to pick it up and ran after her.
The bride (in my mind she was still a princess) turned around and noticing Lilly and me standing there bent down to talk to us.
"Hi there" The bride said to us
"I think you dropped this." Lilly said as she thrust out the had that held the hairpin in it. The bride saw what it was before she gave us bothj a big smile.
"You can keep it." She told Lilly sweetly.
"Really?" I asked a bit upset that I wasn't getting anything.
"The bird is a dove, it symoblises love. My mum gave it too me and told me one day I would fall in love and get married to my one true love. It worked for me, it could work for you. Who knows one day you might even get married here."
Looking around the hotel I knew that this is what I wanted for my wedding. An expensive room with me looking like a princess, getting married in front of a lot of people. I knew I was going to get married here.
On the way back to our respective houses all Lilly and I could talk about was how we were going to get married at the Malibu Beach Inn. For the next year the only game we would play was weddings. Somehow we could always rope Oliver into it and sometimes Jackson would video it on his new camera. Lilly had even made a box with stuff for her wedding – a brochure of the Malibu hotel inn, some pictures of cakes and dresses that she liked and the blue dove hair pin that was given to her by the bride.
Over the years Lilly and I remained best friends and as soon as we had learnt about Maid of Honours and what they were Lilly and I made a pact that we would be each others Maid of Honour at our Malibu Beach Inn weddings and tht we would both get married in June
Lilly and I have remained best friends for years. In our senior year of High School Oliver finally asked me out and we've been dating for 8 years. Lilly meanwhile had been dating her boyfriend Max for 6 years. The two of them met at college through my brother of all people. Sometimes I try to imagine the perfect proposal, Oliver would take me to an expensive restaurant bend down on one knee and say my name. Miley.
"Miley... Miley....MILEY." Lilly looked at me as if I had gone crazy. We were at a friend of ours, Joanie's, wedding. The reception was being held in some normal function room and in all honesty the whole thing looked way to over the top. Like she was trying to hard or something. Lilly handed me a glass of Chardonnay which I gratefully took.
"So what was Oken's excuse this time?" Lilly asked intrigued.
"He had to work. It's like he doesn't realise I know that he's an accountant and therfore has weekends off." Lilly laughed and took a sip of her wine.
"I took pity on Max and gave him the day off. He never met Joanie anyway." I smiled as I looked around the room.
"Is it just me or is the wedding decorated like Uncle Earl's house on christmas day."
"If you mean tacky then yeah it is a bit. But it's what Joanie wanted and that's what counts." Lilly said sweetly.
"For my wedding I want all white and gold."I said dreamily.
"I'm thinking maybe some silver in mine." Lilly said.
"With a lot of food to satisfy my relatives."
"And crystal glasses."
"And the Malibu Beach Inn in June." We both finished with a giggle as we clinked our glasses together. It was then that Joanie got our attention.
"Attenshion. It's time to throw the boou... the bow.... the flowers."
Apparantly Joanie was already drunk so I knew that her new husband was going to be in for an interesting wedding night. Joanie teatered around and ended up ding a turn and a half before stopping. Looking behind her to make sure that all the single girls were in fact crowded together she spotted me and Lilly in the center.
"Aw Miles and Lils are still not married. Lets shee if we can change that." She gave us a wink and then with surprising accuracy for a drunk girl threw the bouquet right at Lilly and I. We both ended up catching it meaning techniically we would both get married next. Too excited to think of the reprecussions, Lilly and I both did a mini happy dance before giving the boquet to Joanie. If either of us had thought about the irony of the both of us catching the bouquet we probably would have taken it as an omen as to what would happen over the next few months.
