So this is going to be based on the movie Love Actually. :D All the major pairings (Datherine, Stefarine, Forwood, Klaroline, Delena, Mabekah, Jalaric, Beremy, Elijah/Tatia) will be taken care of in this story, but some family members aren't related anymore:
The doppelgangers do not look the same and are not from the same bloodline
Nik, Elijah, Kol and Rebekah are not related (Kol and Tatia are)
Elena and Jeremy are not related (Jeremy is younger than in the show: 10)
And this takes place in London, England :D
I think that's all…please enjoy and review!
Damon was late for Caroline and Tyler's wedding. He hurriedly found a tie to match his suit, feeling Katherine's eyes watching him.
"You're going to be late," the love of his life smiled. She was sick, so she decided she did not have to come to the wedding. Damon smirked back at her from the mirror.
"How do I look?" he asked with a knowing smile on his face.
"Dashing," she purred. "How about me?" She pulled the sheet off of her and forced a weak smile.
Damon smiled. "Perfect." He walked over to her. "You're perfect even when you look sick and disgusting." He kissed her after that, and she giggled in his mouth.
After a second, she pushed him off her. "You're going to be late!" she told him again with a smile on her face. He nodded and ran toward his shoes.
As soon as he had them on, he left the room. Of course, he couldn't leave without yelling "I love you, Katherine!" to his true love.
Damon truly wished Katherine wasn't feeling under the weather. He loved flaunting her at all these parties and events. If she was perfect when she was sick, she was supernaturally spectacular when she got dressed up. He couldn't describe how lucky he felt to have someone like her in his life.
As Damon drove away, he thought he saw his brother, Stefan, pull up to his house. He recognized the car…but he must be mistaken. Damon shrugged as he focused on speeding so he could make it to see Caroline's big day on time.
"Yes, Kol, I have a wedding to go to today," Tatia told her brother softly. She paused to hear his response. "I'll come by as soon as I can, ok, little darling?" She paused again. "Ok. Bye, Kol."
Tatia let out an exhausted sigh as she hung up the phone. She had spent the night working with her brother and keeping him company, and now she had Caroline and Tyler's wedding to attend. She looked at herself in the mirror. Eh…presentable, she thought. It would have to do, for she was extremely late. At least Elijah wouldn't be there…she really had to stop thinking about Elijah.
It had been 2 years since she had met the tall, brown-haired man she worked with. They had never flirted or shown attraction to each other at all, but she was truly head over heels for him. She hoped she wasn't too conspicuous about her crush on him, but she was sure even her boss, Mason, knew about her attraction to Elijah. She also wondered if Elijah was attracted to her…she had never really seen the signs, but a girl could hope. And wouldn't it be a dream come true for him to finally say something…what a Christmas present that would be. She smiled at herself in the mirror one last time before grabbing her purse and her shoes and making her way down her white stairs. She knew her friend, Damon, along with Caroline, would be mad if she were late to this wedding.
As she made her way to her car, she couldn't help but daydream more about Elijah and all the things they could do with each other…and to each other…. She shook her head. No. She had to focus on Caroline and Tyler. Yes.
Well, at least Damon would be there to keep her mind off her crush.
Tyler was standing next to his best man, Nik. He was nervous and excited beyond belief. Was that how one was supposed to feel at his wedding? He thought it was.
It was almost time to start the ceremony, and the last people were filing in. He saw Damon and Tatia sit next to each other, of course. He then looked over at Nik.
"No surprises this time, right?" he asked his friend warily. Nik was known to do things out of the box to surprise his friend and, on occasion, Caroline, too.
Nik shook his head no. "No surprises," he said sincerely.
"Not like the stag night?" Tyler grinned. That surprise was definitely not for Caroline.
"Unlike the stag night," Nik smiled in agreement.
"You admit the prostitutes were a mistake?" Tyler continued, grinning like a madman.
"I do," Nik said with mock sincerity.
"And it would've been much better if they'd not turned out to be men?" Tyler almost laughed at the embarrassed expression on his best friend's face.
"That is true," Nik replied with the same mocking tone.
With that, Pachelbel Canon began, and Nik pushed Tyler to where the man was supposed to wait for his bride. "Good luck, mate," Nik murmured with a smile.
As soon as Tyler saw Caroline, his face lit up. She was beautiful in every way, and he couldn't believe he was finally hers. He didn't understand why Nik didn't like her very much.
As he took her hand in his with a loving smile on his face, he felt like the luckiest man in the world. He hoped the videographer and Nik were getting this on camera because Tyler knew he'd want to relive this moment over and over again.
Nik watched as Tyler and Caroline said their "I dos" with a smile on his face. They were perfect together…she was perfect. Shit. That's not what he meant…he knew it was though. Why else would he be filming her and no one else? He was in love with his best friend's girl. He could never act on it though, that wasn't who he was. He would never betray Tyler like that. He stuck to watching longingly from a distance, literally. He had the feeling they both thought he didn't like Caroline…they couldn't be more wrong. All he wanted was her, he was consumed by her, but this was her wedding day, and he wasn't the one saying the "I do," Tyler was. And he had to accept that and move on. Easier said than done, he thought.
Oh, he also enjoyed lying to Tyler about no surprises. Of course there was one. They just didn't know it yet. Once Caroline and Tyler turned to walk back down the aisle hand in hand, Tyler got the chance to whisper to Nik, "And you resisted the temptation of surprises."
Nik smiled knowingly in reply. "I'm mature now, mate."
Soon enough, his surprise went into action. He heard the choir voices start to sing, along with the power male vocalist. The look of sheer joy on Caroline's face was worth it all to Nik…and his friend's happiness, too, of course.
Nik heard Caroline ask Tyler, "Did you do this?" with excitement on her face.
Tyler replied, "Er…no," and looked back at Nik with a smile on his face. Nik jokingly gesticulated that it was not him, but all three knew it was Nik's doing. Nik kept his camera rolling on Caroline's face, so he could remember her happiness from something he did for her. And for Tyler…but who was he kidding? It was all for her, but she'd never have to know. He was ok with that.
Damon left the wedding after the ceremony to check up on Katherine. He didn't want to keep her waiting for him all sick and alone. As he walked into his house, Stefan came around the corner toward the front door.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Damon said with a smile.
Stefan moved his feet around. "Oh…I just um…popped over to borrow some old movies." His smile was fake and weak, but Damon didn't notice.
"The lady of the house let you in, did she?" Damon asked. Stefan nodded. "She's lovely, isn't she?" Damon said, grinning. Stefan merely nodded again. "I thought I'd pop back in and see if she's better."
Damon quickly went off on a tangent, oblivious to Stefan's mental pleading for Damon to leave. "I've been thinking. We should take Mum out for her birthday. I feel—"
Damon was cut off by the sound of Katherine's voice. "Hurry up, Stefan! I'm naked and I want to fuck you senseless at least twice before Damon gets back!"
The first thing Damon's mind did was go blank. He stared at Stefan, betrayal seeping through his expressions. Stefan looked down once again and swallowed.
Damon didn't say a word to his brother. He stormed out of the house and into his car, bursting into silent tears as he did. The betrayal he felt was indescribable. His heart was shattering into a million pieces. How could his own brother do this to him?
He didn't bother going back to the wedding. He decided to take a trip to his vacation home in France. Hopefully, Katherine and Stefan would be out of his house by the time he returned.
