I don't own the Vampire Diaries or the characters, only the storyline is mine!
Chapter 1 - The Beginning
When Caroline had gotten the phone call telling her that Stefan was ENGAGED, to a woman from England that he met on his father's vineyard in Italy, where he use to spends 6 months of the year, she was both excited, because one of her best friends are getting married, HELLO?, and sad, because deep down she kind of always hoped that now that he isn't together with Elena anymore, and haven't been for two years, five months and 16 days, he would settled for her.
But she Caroline Forbes, so after crying it out one evening at Katherine's, with fine wine and a best friend that was used to her babbling, she booked first available tickets down there for herself, Katherine, Elena, Katherine's good twin sister, Stefan's ex and Caroline's childhood best friend, and Bonnie, the last girl in the gang that is Elena's best friend.
Elena has to admit that she doesn't like flying. After crashing with the car in the accident when hers and Katherine's parents died she has never been a fan of high noises or sudden movements when she's traveling. Bonnie is giving her a small smile and hugs her hand. Elena tries to smile back but squeals when the plane lifts off the ground and crushes Bonnie's hand in her own. she can't even remember why she agreed to this in the beginning. Yes, it is fun that Stefan's getting married but Elena can't help to feel like she shouldn't be there.
She and Stefan dated through the later years of high school and broke up the summer after graduation, and it was weird to be invited to plan your ex's wedding with a girl she had never met. And then there was that other issue, Damon. Stefan's undeniably hotter, bigger brother. Elena had met him three years ago when she still was dating Stefan and he had seemed interested in her. Either that or he wanted to piss his brother off. In any case, had he made his way to Elena's thoughts ever since. He and his devilishly good looks and that eye-thing that he did that she still don't wanna admit she found sexy.
Bonnie sits beside Elena and is feeling a little underdressed. Katherine had a little black dress with thin straps and that was really short and black Stilettos with at least 10 cm heels. Her hair is curly and not a hair lays out of place and her makeup is perfect. Even Caroline's makeup is on fleek and with the braided diadem, a beautiful yellow sundress with brown flowers and the brown high boots, with a little heel on and she looks like a princess.
Elena, always classy and beautiful, has a red playsuit with short legs and arms and small whites flowers on and a big black belt. Her hair is straight, her makeup is light and she was low cut black boots to it with small.
It is not that Bonnie feels ugly, even though she knows that the others are prettier than her, but the first impression is important and she has just a jeans denim overall and a loose shirt in dark red with her shoulder length hair free and no makeup. But she forgets all about it when she sees Stefan again after 5 full months and then they are driving through nature with a full car and she is talking to Elena about the view.
Katherine is quiet on the car ride to Stefan's dad's place. Caroline and Stefan are babbling in the front and on her right are Elena and Bonnie discussing the view. And Damon, interesting. What is even more interesting is that Elena is blushing and Bonnie is smiling so big that Katherine can see all her white teeth.
"Soo… you still have a crush on Damon?" she asked bluntly, for dancing around a subject isn't her style. Elena hisses her but Caroline and Stefan are already quiet, so she is assuming that they, too, heard her. Before Elena can answers the question, still blushing like mad, to Katherine's amusement, Stefan cuts in.
"Stay away from my brother, Elena. He is bad news. Plus that he hasn't left this place in years, and you just gonna be here for 3 weeks, then you leave. And believe me, my brother is a heart stealer. He is just going to hurt you"
The rest of the car drive is silent after Caroline has agreed with Stefan that Damon is bad news, they had a spat back when Damon visited three years ago, Katherine still doesn't know what about, and Elena muttered some kind of half promise to stay away from the hotter Salvatore. It's almost so Katherine wishes that she hadn't asked the question. Almost, because she finds awkward silences amusing and she can really need a break after 3 months of straight work.
Rebekah isn't nervous, not at all. She is sitting at the big kitchen table in the Maison that belongs to her fiance's father. Elijah, her oldest brother sits opposite to her, in his black suit with a white button down and a dark purple tie. Klaus is placed on his left and her right, at the end of the table, with a light grey henley and dark, washed out jeans shorts. Kol, her twin brother sat on Elijah's right side in a dark blue button-down with several buttons open and the arms rolled up and fake jeans shorts.
Damon, her fiance's brother is in the kitchen, where he always is, not that it bothers her, with all his ironic sayings and mocking attitude is he exactly like Kol, and it was enough to be in the same room as one of them. She fixes her red skirt one more time and pulls down her leather top a little bit so that the gap between the two become a little smaller.
She took off her black Stilettos so that she can tap her feet freely on the floor and after yet another quick look at the clock does she start to fidget with the diamond ring on her finger. Her brothers are smiling at each other, clearly spotting her nervosity but are smart enough to not comment on it.
Stefan takes one of Katherine's bags from the back. Seriously, that girl is the only one he knows, without maybe his fiance that would take two big bags on a four weeks trip. The other girls take their own and Stefan proudly point out the different parts of the farm, with a promise to show them around later, before he takes them in through the kitchen door, where Damon stands cooking, as usual. He has a black tight t-shirt and long black jeans, much similar to Stefan's own grey t-shirt and blue jeans shorts.
Damon looks up when Stefan comes in with his girlfriends behind him. Blondie walks closest to him, of course. His brother was just so oblivious about how he had Caroline wrapped around his finger. Kit Kat walks beside her and Damon frowns, that little girl played him once upon a time. She found out that he was in love with Elena so she came to him in the middle of the night, pretending to be her. He believed her and, stupid as he were, he slept with her. When he did find out he took revenge by taking out his sexual frustrations on Caroline. Maybe they weren't that small anymore he soon realizes when he looks at them.
They had grown up under the four years he hadn't seen them. Then Bonnie comes in, the only one that he didn't run from when he moved from Mystic falls for good three years ago. She is also clearly more grown up and beautiful now then she was then. But she isn't the one that catches his eye, Elena is. She is even more breathtaking now then she was all those years ago and he finds himself drowning in her beautiful brown orbs, exactly like he did when he met her the first time.
"Shall we go to the table, brother?" Stefan asks him and pulls him away from Elena's eyes. He sees her look at the ground, blushing, in the corner of her eye. He is the only one, not counting Katherine, that knows about his true feelings for Elena and Damon guess that he tries to protect his girlfriend-turned-friend from him. Not that Damon can blame him.
"Absolutely brother" he therefore says and does a sweeping motion at the door.
Elijah looks at his siblings. Rebekah is clearly nervous, which maybe isn't that shocking if you know that she is supposed to meet her finances best friends, and ex-girlfriend as Damon said at least fifty times, for the first time today. Kol is bored, currently playing with the baseball that he always seems to carry with him. Niklaus is also nervous, even though that doesn't show as clear.
Stefan is after all his best friend and Elijah knows that he is a little afraid of Stefan liking one of these girls more than him. That's why Niklaus was so much against the relationship between his mate and sister from the beginning. But now is the almost the most supportive. Elijah is also very pleased with his sister's choice. Stefan is a mature, almost permissive guy that matches his sister's hot temperament perfectly.
Klaus lifts his head from the thought of New Orleans, and his company, when he hears footsteps getting closer. A beautiful brunette and Stefan walks in with a stunning blond in their track. His eyes stay at her. Her nice curly hair and nervous face are mesmerizing and he can't turn away. Not even when Elena, the girl he planned on glaring at the whole evening so that she won't get in between his sister and Stefan, walks in.
He is totally missing the cute dark girl that walks in last, to fascinated of the confident steps of the blond when she walks to the table and sits down opposite to him, on the other end and fishes up a notebook and a pen from her bag before she sits down.
Stefan goes to his fiance and Klaus automatically lifts an arm too high five him when he passes. The beautiful girl smiles and the others start to sit down as well. The twin sister on either side of her, the one that is Stefan's ex is not on his side, thank god, because if she were Klaus would have to do something and he is very pleased with just looking at the extraordinary woman in front of him. The last brunette sits down beside Stefan and Damon, that walks in a little bit behind them sits beside Kol.
Then she talks, and Klaus is finally sure that she is an angel because no human can talk like that and not be surrounded by men that want to marry her.
"Okay… I am Caroline and I think we should have a round of names when you also say your relationship with the groom or bride, and what you are doing at the wedding" She is quite a few seconds, looking around and finally meeting his eyes. When she sees him staring at her she looks down and blushes and he can't help but smile, because she is cute when she is embarrassed. "I start. I am Caroline Forbes and I am Stefan's best friend. And I am going to host the wedding" her friend on her right immediately picks up and keeps going.
"I am Elena and Stefan's my childhood friend" she says and then it is the next girl. That Klaus just has his first look at. She is nothing compared to Caroline.
"My name is Bonnie and I am Stefan's friend." the pretty girl that sits on his right says and Kol knows it is his time to speak. When he doesn't Bonnie looks at him with big brown and green eyes and he can't help but feel a little stuck in. When she looks away a few seconds later he meets the eye of a clearly annoyed Caroline. The girl is absolutely bossy and Kol is going to have some fun with her, another time because he can feel both of his older brothers scolding looks on his back.
"I am Bekah's twin brother and I am supposed to have a speech and are second best man to my future brother in law here" he says and waves a little Stefan's way.
"Why do we need a backup best man?" Caroline asks, looking at Stefan.
"Because Damon is also the chef so he can't be with me all the time" Caroline nods her hand and signals to Elijah that he can go on. A gesture that has Kol rolling his eyes.
"Well my name is Elijah and I am Rebekah's eldest brother. I am in charge of the wedding and hosting it together with you" Elijah says and it's Nik's turn to go. Kol sees in his brother's eyes that he actually likes this girl, something he has to mock him about later.
"I am Klaus, her brother, and his best friend and I'm going to walk her down the aisle"
"I am Rebekah and I am the bride"
"And I am Stefan and I am the groom" Kol must admit that he likes Stefan, he is a nice guy that makes his twin happy. And he managed to win Nik over, the only problem with the dude is that he doesn't have any humor. Which in itself proved to be quite amusing
"I am Damon, Steffy's brother, best man, and chef"
"And I am Katherine, Stefan's first crush and I am helping Care with the decorations," the last girl says and Kol immediately likes her. She is bold.
