Someone asked me to write a continuation of Birthday Surprise, and since I really enjoyed writing Paily I decided to write this. Not super happy with it, and I restarted it several times, but I hope you guys like it! Will be writing the actual wedding and probably honeymoon too at some point when I have the time. Also, sorry for any mistakes, they're all mine because I'm too lazy to proof read at 1 am.

xx, Em

"We have to start planning the wedding right away!"

"No way, I want to enjoy my life as someone's fiancée for a little bit before I rush into being someone's wife."

"What do you mean by that? Do you not want to marry my best friend?"

"Of course I do Hanna, but I also want to give her the wedding she deserves and I can't afford that right now."

"Oh, okay, acceptable excuse."

Emily smiled and kissed Paige deeply while Hanna aww'ed. It was the morning after Paige's birthday and Hanna, Aria, Spencer, Emily and Paige were eating breakfast at Paige's favorite local diner.

"Is it going to be a big traditional wedding?"

Emily shrugged as she snuck a bite of Paige's chocolate chip pancakes. Paige's one weakness. "I honestly haven't thought about it Hanna, if you haven't noticed I haven't even been engaged for 24 hours yet."

Spencer smirked at Hanna. "Told you so."

"But Emmmm", Hanna whined. "Every girl has a dream wedding planned."

"Not really. As long as Paige is the one I marry, I'm happy." Emily smiled happily as she felt Paige's lips against her cheek.

"I'd be more than happy to help with decorations, or planning, or whatever you need help with", Aria spoke up, it hadn't exactly been easy to get a word in when Hanna was all over this.

"Listen up, we love you guys endlessly, but we're not gonna get married next week, so let's just calm down a little bit, please? Emily and I will talk about some important details later today, if we have the time, and as soon as we know something we'll share it with you. I promise we won't leave you out of the wedding planning, but at the end of the day it's our wedding and our decision." Paige looked at all of the girls, especially Hanna, and they all nodded. "Thank you. Now, Hanna, tell me about fashion school?"

"More coffee, Spence?"

"Always." Paige gave Spencer sympathetic smile which the girl returned as her mug was being filled. Paige moved to stand behind her fiancée, kissing the top of her head, before wrapping her arms around her. Emily was sitting on a stool by their kitchen island, all of her best friends around her, a million magazines surrounding them. Hanna, Aria and Spencer had arrived in LA one week ago and every spare moment was spent planning Emily and Paige's wedding. It wasn't that the two didn't appreciate the help, but sometimes Hanna would get a bit too eccentric. And she didn't handle the word 'no' very well.

"We're going dress shopping for Emily next week, so you'll have to entertain yourself Paige."

Emily frowned slightly. "Isn't it a bit early for that? The wedding is still a year, what if I gain loads of weight?"

All of the girls but Emily, burst out laughing and Paige kissed her head again. "Funny Em, you couldn't gain a pound even if you wanted to."

"How do you know?"

"Well, I've been with you for many years, I've seen you eat the weirdest things, and I'm pretty sure you weigh less than you did when we first started dating."

"Probably because you two work out in the bedroom a lot."

Paige smirked at Hanna as Emily blushed. "You got that right." Over the years Paige had gotten more comfortable with Emily's friends, meaning she'd also gotten less embarrassed when it came to talking about their sex life.

"Anyways, wedding dress shopping on Tuesday, Em." Hanna pointed her pen at Emily, who nodded.

"Are you gonna wear a white suit, Paige?"

Paige looked at Aria and shook her head. "Wasn't planning on it."

"Oh, so a black suit then?"

"Nope."

Spencer frowned. "What are you going to wear then?"

"A wedding dress." Paige smiled as Emily whipped her head around, looking as surprised, if not more, as her friends.

"What?! Not that I wouldn't love that, but it's not very…you? Are you sure about this?"

"Of course. I know it seems a bit untraditional when it comes to me, but I do enjoy wearing the occasional dress and I kinda wanna wear one for my wedding." Seeing everyone's reactions suddenly made Paige quite uncertain, and Emily could tell by the way her voice got less confident so she turned around on her stool and wrapped her arms around Paige's waist.

"Hey, baby, look at me." Paige eventually wrapped her arms around Emily's neck and looked down at her. "I think it's a great idea, and I can't wait to see you in a wedding dress, I know it's going to take my breath away."

"Promise?"

Emily nodded with a small smile. "Promise." She leaned up and kissed Paige softly, feeling the other girl relax slightly.

"I think you're going to look beautiful Paige."

"Thank you Aria."

"I can help you find a dress if you want?"

"I'd love that Spencer, don't stress it though, we can go whenever."

"Well, do you have any ideas?"

"Yeah, I've checked out a few places."

"We can go on Tuesday. Hanna and Aria can go with Emily and I can go with you."

Hanna pouted. "But that means I miss Paige trying on wedding dresses."

Emily and Paige shared a knowing look. It was definitely better for Hanna to be with Emily, if she went with Paige she'd scare the swimmer out of wearing a dress all together. Or force her to choose something ridiculously fluffy. "How about this, Spencer and I keep you updated throughout the day?"

Hanna squealed and clapped. "You have to send photos!"

"Fine, but you can't show them to Emily."

Hanna pouted for a second while everyone else stared at her. "Fine. But I can show them to Aria."

"Of course. But if you show Emily I revoke your bridesmaid privileges."

"Spence! You can't do that!"

"Yes I can, I'm Emily's maid of honor, and this is part of my job. I'm letting you do my job when it comes to helping Emily find the perfect dress, so that I can help Paige, but I'm still in charge Hanna."

Hanna looked at Emily and Paige with puppy dog eyes.

"Listen to her, Hanna. I don't want to see Paige's dress, you can share the excitement with Aria instead."

Hanna made a whining sound. "Fine."

"Geesh, thanks for the excitement, Hanna." Paige smiled at Aria. "I promise that on Tuesday she'll be all over you trying to talk about the dresses I try on."

"You'll look so beautiful, P."

"I hope so. I thought my mom was gonna have a heart attack when I told her I was getting married in a dress."

"Did she think it was a bad idea?"

"Not at all, she was ecstatic, she just never thought she'd hear me say those words."

Emily laughed. "Your mom is so sweet. I bet she was trying to get you to use her dress, huh?"

"Oh yeah, all 17 layers."

Emily laughed even harder. She'd seen Nick and Heather's wedding photos, and Heather's wedding dress had been, well, big. Like, really big. "That dress is like a cock blocker, there's so many layers it probably takes hours just to get it off."

Paige nodded. "I politely declined, saying I wanted something more simple."

"This is so funny, I think that if I'd seen you in that dress on our wedding day I'd break down while walking down the aisle, laughing too hard."

Paige teasingly tickled her fiancée. "Don't laugh at me. Maybe I'll buy a super puffy dress now."

Emily laughed and squealed. "Nooo! Spencer you have to promise me you won't let her buy a puffy dress." Spencer watched them with an amused smirk on her face before she casually sipped her coffee. "No promises, I might just turn my back for a second too long…"

Paige grinned at Spencer, happy that the two of them got along so great. They were extremely similar, which was why they had clashed so much when they were younger, but over the years they'd learned to take advantage of that instead. Now they'd occasionally team up against the other girls to get their way, and it was extremely effective.

"Can we go over the details we have so far, so that I know what's happening with my own wedding?"

"Oh right, sorry. The date is June 27th next year. Location is the church in Rosewood, reception is yet to be booked, but somewhere near the church, but also potentially the Hastings' backyard." Emily shared the first details of the wedding. It might seem weird that they were getting married in Rosewood, considering all of the bad memories they had there, but the two girls had talked it over and decided that they wanted to make some good memories in the town as well, and this was one of them.

"Guest list is currently at 50. We need to triple check if we've missed anyone important, but we know you guys wanted to keep it relatively small, so I think 50 will be the final number if everyone R.S.V.P.'s yes. Dresses will hopefully be bought next week, as you know." Spencer was in charge of invites and guest lists.

"The theme is lilac and pink pastel. We've already started looking at our bridesmaids' dresses. Flowers are yet to be decided, but I have some ideas. We also have a general idea of decorations, I'll show you the sketches when I'm done with them." Hanna was the fashionista amongst them and it made sense that she was in charge of dresses and decorations.

"Cake will be three layers with different combinations of cake and. The menu is also pretty much set, with the typical fish or meat selection and some amazing desserts and starters. Also a vegan option." Last, but not least, was Aria, who was in charge of food and drinks for the wedding. All Paige was in charge of was really just showing up. She was pretty sure she got that under wraps.

"It sounds amazing, guys. I know it's 11 months away, but I'm glad we're planning everything early."

"Planning a wedding takes time, and since live in different states we don't really have much choice. But it's really nice to get it done sooner rather than later incase you have a problem with something."

"I don't think we'll have too many problems tho, Paige is pretty whipped so it's not like she's gonna disagree with Emily on anything."

Paige and Emily glared at Hanna. "Ha-ha, very funny. I'm not whipped, I just know that Emily knows what I do and do not like and I trust that she'll make the right decisions when it comes to our wedding."

"Exactly, like when I said no to that one decoration yesterday it was because I knew Paige wouldn't want that."

"The only thing I know about weddings is that two people say "I Do" and then they're married, so I'd really rather not get too involved in this."

"And we respect her decision, right Hanna?" Spencer stared pointedly at her friend.

"Yes, Spencer. I just don't understand how someone cannot want to plan their wedding. It's so much fun."

"I know how much you enjoy it and how little I'd enjoy it, so consider it a present from me to you." Paige grinned at Hanna.

Spencer was speechless. Paige had a worried expression on her face. "Spence? Please say something. Is it really that bad?" She looked down at herself and frowned sadly. She kinda liked this dress, now she was reconsidering this whole wedding dress idea of hers.

"Wow. Paige, just wow. You look so beautiful."

Paige looked up at her. "Are you sure you're not just saying that."

"Paige, I'm about two seconds away from crying and I'm not the one who's gonna marry you. With the right hair and make up you're gonna blow everyone away at your wedding."

Paige grinned proudly. "I'm glad you like it! I saw it a while ago, and really liked it so I was hoping it would look good on me."

"It looks amazing on you, it was made for you."

"Do you think Emily will like it?"

"I know that Emily won't be able to take her eyes off of you, seriously, she'll fall in love with you all over again."

Paige blushed slightly. "I'm buying this. Now you better take a photo for Hanna and Aria."

"Oh right, thanks for reminding me." Spencer got out her phone and snapped a few pictures of Paige, sending two of them to Hanna. "Seriously Paige, you look so beautiful. If I was gay and you weren't marrying my best friend, I'd marry you."

Paige laughed and hugged Spencer. "Thanks Spence, and you know that I love you, but we both know that a McHastings wouldn't end very well."

"McHastings? You're right, we probably wouldn't even be able to settle on a cake."

"Mc Cullers and Hastings together. Hanna came up with it… it's kinda catchy so I use it sometimes. I'm more than happy to have you as one of my best friends though."

"Ah, I should have known. I'm really happy to have you as one of my best friends too."

"Hold on Em, Spencer sent me some photos."

Emily was in the changing rooms trying on another dress. She had a favorite so far, but she wanted to try a few more. She heard a loud gasp from both Hanna and Aria and stuck her head out. "What's going on guys."

"Oh Em…"

"What?"

"You really need to wear water proof mascara in the wedding."

"Uh, okay?" She was already planning on that, but she wasn't sure why they were suddenly bringing that up now.

"Paige is gonna take your breath away Em. You have no idea how badly I want to show you this picture, Paige looks so indescribably beautiful." Aria was smiling at her best friend. Hanna had yet to say anything.

"Really? She looks that good?" It wasn't that Emily ever doubted that Paige would look good, no matter what she wore, but it made her happy that her friends approved of her fiancée's dress choice.

"Oh Em. I think Paige might win the best dressed competition." Hanna finally said something and it made Emily smile proudly.

"I don't mind, I always knew she was beautiful."

"She's more than beautiful, she's stunning, breathtaking, gorgeous, everything."

"I can't wait to see it in 11 months then. Now help me get this dress on before I steal that phone from you."

Present day

Emily was in Spencer's old bedroom getting her hair and make up done. Paige was doing the same thing in Hanna's old bedroom. In t-minus 2 hours she'd finally get to see Paige in her wedding dress. Everyone that had seen it had been blown away, making it even harder for Emily, but the day was finally here and she knew that it was going to be perfect. All of it. There was no A to mess things up for them anymore. It was just her and Paige. In just over 2 hours she would be Emily McCullers. She liked the sound of that.

Mrs. and Mrs. Paige and Emily McCullers.
