Lorna Morello was so excited she could barely contain herself. The weekend she had been dreaming about was finally here. She and Nicky were finally getting married tomorrow after 5 happy years of them both out of Litchfield together.

When Nicky had proposed, Lorna could not believe it. I mean, sure, they had talked about getting married before, but the fact that it was becoming a reality blew her mind. First of all, Nicky proposed in a very public way- it was so unlike her. They were out to dinner at Lorna's favorite Italian restaurant. When the check came, Nicky took out her wallet and dropped a $20 bill on the floor.

"Ah shit! Babe can you get that for me please?"

So Lorna got out of her seat and bent down to pick up the money that had fallen on the floor. When she stood up to give the money to Nicky, the sight right in front of her immediately made her start crying. Nicky was holding out the most beautiful engagement ring Lorna had ever seen.

"Wow I didn't even ask you yet and you're already crying? I mean I knew it was a long shot but you don't have to be so repulsed by it" Nicky joked.

Lorna didn't laugh like Nicky expected she only kept crying and staring at the ring

"Oh right, I guess I'm supposed to ask now. Ok so Lorna Morello I love you so much and nothing would make me happier than being married to you and so I was wondering"

Lorna didn't even let Nicky finish she immediately started kissing her. She probably forgot they were in a restaurant because she kissed her so hard that it made everyone around them stare.

Nicky breathlessly pulled away. "You know I never wanna stop doing that, but I just need to know. That's a yes right?"

"Yes. Of course it's a yes are you fucking kidding me!?" Lorna laughed.

Nicky handed her the ring and Lorna started crying again. They quickly paid for their meal and headed home. Holy shit, were they gonna have a lot of sex tonight and Nicky could not wait.

After 1 long year of waiting and planning their weekend had finally arrived.

Lorna basically insisted that she spend the night at Franny's that night. She thought it would make their wedding night seem more special if they slept apart beforehand. Nicky, of course, hated this idea and fought it the best she good, but the same thing happened that always happens. Lorna pleaded to get her way and looked at Nicky with sad eyes and Nicky just couldn't say no. Nicky could never say no to Lorna- it was her biggest weakness.

"Okay baby I'm all packed and I'm going to Franny's"

"I'm gonna beg you one last time to just please fucking stay here tonight. This is just so fucking unnecessary and you know I can't sleep without you anymore. I just fucking can't I'm not good at it."

"I know baby I'm not good at it either but I promise you tomorrow night is going to feel so much better if we just do this." Lorna said as she pulled Nicky into a kiss.

As she started to break the kiss, Nicky started kissing her neck right on the spot that always drove Lorna wild.

"Oh Nick" Lorna moaned. She forced herself to pull away. "Nice try but your not tricking me into staying here tonight. One night of sleeping alone and not having sex is not gonna kill you I promise."

"Yeah I'm not so sure about that" Nicky joked.

"I love you and I'll see you at our wedding and we'll never have to sleep apart ever again okay."
"Ugh fine. Love you I'll see you tomorrow" The couple shared a quick kiss and Lorna was off.

It was about 11 PM when Nicky felt her phone ringing. The biggest grin appeared on her face when she saw the name "Lorna Bae Morello" appear on her screen

"So you miss me already, huh?"

"Nick you were right this sucks so much I'm an idiot."

"Hey I never said you were an idiot I'd never say something like that. This wasn't your best idea though."

"I miss you"

"I miss you too, baby. I mean the dog is cuddling up to me and doing the best he can but it's just not the same. I mean he's nowhere near as good at spooning as you".

This made Lorna giggle quietly and even though she could barely hear it, it made Nicky's heart jump.

"You could always come to Franny's" Lorna started. "I'm just on the guest bed. I mean it's smaller than ours but we usually sleep right next to each other and only take up half of the bed anyway"

"That is so fucking tempting. Seriously that sounds amazing. And I know you want that right now, but you're not gonna want that later. You've been wanting to sleep apart. It has been part of your whole "wedding weekend agenda" since we got engaged. And I know you miss me right now. I mean, fuck, I miss you too. A lot, like you really have no idea. But you're gonna be disappointed afterward that we didn't stick with your plan. I don't want anything making you upset tomorrow, especially something that we can easily control."

"I know. You're right." Lorna sighed. "It's just that we haven't spent a night apart since you got out of Litchfield. I don't even remember how to fall asleep by myself."

"Well the TV usually makes you fall asleep. Why don't you turn on the TV?. I'lll stay on the phone until you fall asleep."

"Yeah? Are you watching TV?"

"Game of Thrones like always."

"Oh that's a good idea let me find it!"

So Nicky and Morello watched Game of Thrones together. Well, as together as they could be in that moment. Nicky stayed on the phone until she was sure Morello was asleep. She truly believed that sleeping apart was a fucking stupid idea, but she wasn't about to let anything ruin the weekend Morello had planned.

After hours of getting ready and chatting nervously with bridal parties, it was finally time to get married.

Nicky and Alex looked around at the room right before the ceremony. There were pink and yellow flowers everywhere. Like really everywhere. You could barely see anything else.

"You have very girl taste, Nichols. I never would have pictured you picking all this girly shit" Alex laughed.

"You know I had nothing to do with it. I let Morello pick everything. I don't give a shit about the actual wedding- I just wanna be married to Lorna. If I was choosing stuff we would just go to Vegas and elope. But Lorna really cares about all this shit so here we are…" Nicky motioned around them

"In fairy princess land" Alex joked

"Hahaha hey whatever she wants. I just want her to be happy even if it means getting married in front of 100 people I don't know in a bright pink room."

"You know she's really lucky to have you."

"Vause, are you getting soft on me? That is not what I need right now. I told you your job as my maid of honor/ best man is to keep everything as normal as possible. I need someone to go to for sanity during this whole thing."

"I'll try, Nick, but I just can't believe you're finally getting married. It's so cute it's like my little Nicky is all grown up" Alex teased as she went to pinch Nicky's cheeks.

"Alright I can't be around you anymore. Let's just start this thing while I still somewhat like you."

Alex laughed to herself as Nicky went to go find Red.

The ceremony had started. Red walked Nicky down the aisle. Piper, Franny, and Alex all walked down as well as the little kids in Lorna's family.

Nicky had a sourpuss look on her face during the entire thing. She was sure she was way too cool for this sweet ceremony and cutesy music.

Finally Lorna entered. She looked incredible. She wore a white, lacy dress with her hair swept back and, of course, bright red lipstick.

Nicky's face immediately changed to a look of awe. She wasn't even concentrating on the embarrassing ceremony anymore. In fact, she basically forgot anyone was there at all. She was just staring at Lorna.

Lorna reached Nicky, yet Nicky still didn't move a muscle- she just looked awestruck.

After a few moments, Lorna rubbed Nicky's arm and whispered "you okay?"

"I…yeah I just….I. Wow you look great, kid"

Lorna smiled and the ceremony began.

Eventually, it was time for the vows. Nicky still couldn't stop staring at Lorna, especially as Lorna was getting more and more emotional.

Lorna immediately started crying as she went to give her vows.

"All my life I've wanted to find love. I was more into the concept than the actual thing though ya know? I didn't even really understand what love felt like until Nicky showed me." Lorna had to stop to cry for a moment. "Nicky I love you more each day and every day you make me laugh. You make me feel so protected all the time and I am so thankful to you for that. I can't imagine my life without you."

"Okay I guess it's my turn now, right" Nicky said with a shaky voice. "Um I didn't really prepare anything which would've been a good idea I'm now realizing" Nicky said as she realized she was at a loss for words. She took a deep breath and began. "I um. I never had anyone in my life who actually cared about me until I went to prison. How sad does that sound, right? But um anyway. I never thought anyone could care about me. I never thought I could actually care about anyone. But I am so in love with you. I mean like really. Like I didn't even think it was possible to be this in love with someone. You make me so fucking happy. You're the best person I've ever met and I just feel so lucky to have you. My life sucked before I knew you and now I'm so happy all the time." Nicky's voice broke with that last sentence. "I'm so lucky to have you and I want to spend the rest of my life making you as happy as you always make me." Nicky said quickly before the rest of her voice gave out completely. She had tears in her eyes that she was trying with all her power to keep there. She did not want to cry in front of everyone.

No one besides Lorna had really seen her cry before. Except for Red. And Red had only seen her cry twice: when she was detoxing and when she came back from max.

Nicky and Lorna kissed and everyone clapped. As they walked up the aisle Nicky just looked down. She knew she couldn't look at Lorna or she'd immediately start sobbing. As they exited the room, Nicky quickly pulled Lorna into the first room she saw and bolted the door shut.

She pulled her into a hug and all of the tears slipped out. She was a sobbing mess. They were holding each other so tightly it was as if they were holding on for dear life.

After a long while Nicky wiped her eyes and then wiped the tears from Lorna's eyes as well.

"Do you see what you do to me?" Nicky laughed. "Man, I was keeping my cool so well until you walked in with your dress and your lipstick and your boobs."

"Come here" Lorna said as she kissed Nicky passionately.

Yeah the party could wait. They were definitely going to be late to their own wedding reception.
