A/N- Hey! So, the last chapter got such a good response, because you guys are amazing, and you wanted me to do the wedding, and I'm glad because I really want to write it :P
Thank you so much of the reviews, follows and favs! I wasn't expecting many people to read it, I kinda thought everyone had got over the story by now, but I'm glad you still love it! :)
I loved all the reviews just as much as I love you!
So, the wedding…
Ally's View
"Ally, you look beautiful calm down," Cassidy says with a smile.
I smile at her, "but what if Austin doesn't want to marry now? What if he changed his mind?" I start to panic, I mean, it could happen, I mean I couldn't blame him.
"Ally, you've been planning this wedding for two years, been living together for two years, and have been together for six. Of course he hasn't changed his mind."
I look at her dress, she really looks beautiful, her and Trish are my bridesmaids. Their dresses are simple, but beautiful, simple strapless red floor length dress, that flows from just under the breast down, with a simple diagonal line of gems going from the top of the right side of the dress, to where it begins to flow out on the left side. Their hair is how they wanted it to be, the same with the make-up, I wanted them to be comfortable.
"Is she panicking?" Trish says walking in.
Cassidy nods, "she's worried he's changed his mind and run off."
"Well, no need to worry about that, I just saw him." My eyes go wide.
"You did?! He's still here then? He's staying?"
Trish laughs lightly, "yes Ally, he's staying." I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding in. "He told me to give you this," she lifts up a small box and hands it to me, "he said to say, 'if it doesn't go with your dress it doesn't matter, but I saw it and thought of you.'" I smile, and look at the box.
Slowly, I open it to reveal a silver charm bracelet, a few charms are already on it. One charm is a musical note, another is a mug, another looks like a stack of pancakes…oh my gosh. The charms are all stuff we've done together, and stuff we both like. Another one is the Empire State Building. And the last one on this is my favourite, it's a little square that's been engraved.
'I will always love you, Alls'
I feel a tear roll down my check, "thank god we put water proof mascara on you," Cassidy says with a smile, Trish and I both laugh slightly, as I put on the bracelet.
I wipe away the tears and Trish fixes my make-up.
"It's time," Dez says poking his head through the door.
My dad is away on a business trip or something, so he couldn't come. Couldn't make time for his only daughter's wedding, not surprising. Funny thing is I'm not even annoyed. Maybe it's because he's missed all the other major moments in my life, or because I'm lucky if I see him twice a year, but I'm just not upset that he isn't here. How silly would it be if he did come and gave me away? He would be acting like a farther, something that he hasn't been doing for as long as I remember. There's no point in acting like he's always around on one day.
Austin's parents aren't here either, some business trip too. So you could say this is a parent free wedding, and neither of us are sad about that. Today is about us.
So since my dad wasn't going to give me away, and I didn't want to walk down the aisle by myself, I asked Dez, he cried, a lot.
I nod, Trish and Cassidy walk out of the room and get ready to walk down the aisle with the two best men. Austin picked Trent and Elliot to be his best men, and they do look good in a suit.
"You okay?" Dez asks as we link our arms, the music starts playing and Trish and Trent are first to walk out. As cheesy as it sounds, I got Austin to record the song he sang to me just before he proposed in our recording studio and we're walking down the aisle to it. I couldn't think of a song any song better suited to this. After all 'here comes forever'.
"Yep, just excited, nervous, I feel like crying-"
"Ally, calm down, it's fine. It's our turn." I smile at him and take a deep breath.
We walk into the room and immediately I lock eyes with Austin, I see tears forming in his eyes, and notice mine are doing the exact same. Man, he looks so hot in a suit. Is there nothing he can't pull off?
His suit is just your average suit, with a red tie to match the bridesmaid dresses. Dez smiles at me and hands me to Austin, who grabs my hands and smiles.
I look at the knot of his tie and realise he has badges on it, matching the ones on my charm bracelet, minus the engraved one.
Austin's View
Ally's wedding dress. Wow. I mean, she looks beautiful in anything she wears. But the dress, I've never seen her look so beautiful.
It's white, obviously, tight to the waist and then puffy. But not too puffy, kinda like mid puffiness and flows right to the floor. Along the top, you wouldn't notice unless you are right by her, were small musical notes, subtle. And I look down to the bottom of the dress and see words, very small, but still there, I can't read them from my height so I look at her face, she smiles.
"They're the songs we've written together and performed together. Is it too much?" The worry clear in her voice.
"The whole dress is perfect. I so wish I could kiss you right now," she blushes, causing me to smile.
"Ready to begin?" The man asks, we nod. "We come now to the words Bride and Groom want to hear the most today…the words that take them across the threshold from being engaged to being married. A marriage, as most of us understand it, is a voluntary and full commitment. It is made in the deepest sense to the exclusion of all others, and it is entered into with the desire and hope that it will last for life" I can't stop smiling at Ally, and she can't stop smiling at me, I can't believe she's my wife, or about to be my wife…close enough.
"Before we continue, if anyone knows of any reason why these two should not marry, speak now or forever hold your peace." Ally and I look nervously at each other, it's so quiet you could hear a pin drop. "Very well." Phew! Ally and I smile again.
"Have you prepared your vows?" We both nod. "Austin Moon, you first."
"First of all, you look beautiful, as always." I say, she blushes more. "So, I could just say exactly what I said when I proposed, which would probably make really good vows, but now I have more to say. The past two years we've lived together, even if we did practically live together for years before, and they've been great. I was so happy when you first came to New York and you actually got a long with my friends, so much so that you wanted to move here too. You have no idea how much I've always wanted to live here, with the woman that I love, a little family, but maybe not quite yet," she laughs slightly. "In a cute house, with a music room, and now I have that, minus the kids," earning another laugh from her and everyone. "I went from hating you for no reason, to falling in love with you in the space of three weeks. And every day since I've just fallen for you more and more, and even now, standing here saying my vows I'm falling for you more and more." I say, Ally's crying, and I hear other people crying around the room too. "I love you Ally, more than you'll ever understand." She crys more and more. "Hey, don't cry," I lift my hand to wipe away her tears, she smiles slightly, "they are happy tears right?" I ask suddenly I feel I've done something wrong.
"Of course they're happy tears," she pushes me playfully, I smile at her, a very big smile.
"Best men, her ring please," Elliot walks over and hands Austin the ring. "Austin Moon, please repeat after me." I nod. "I, Austin Monica Moon."
"I, Austin," I pause, Ally smiles at me, a very amused smile, my middle name always makes her laugh. I roll my eyes playfully at her, "I, Austin Monica Moon."
"Do take the Ally Dawson."
"Wait so you literally don't have a middle name?" I ask her and she nods, laughing. "Well okay then, I just presumed you were hiding it from me." Everyone laughed.
"Uh, Mr Moon…"
"Oh, yeah, sorry." I smile at Ally, she smiles at me, our eyes lock. "Do take the Ally Dawson."
"To be my lawful wife."
"To be my lawful wife."
"To have and to hold."
"To have and to hold," I squeeze her hand gently.
"To honour and to cherish, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health."
"To honour and to cherish, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health," our eyes are still locked.
"Till death do us part."
"Till death do us part."
"You may now place the ring on her finger." I smile and her, and look down to her hand. We're both shaking like crazy, I can't help but laugh at that.
"Ally Dawson, your vows if you will."
She smiles at me, "how am I meant to beat his?" Everyone laughs lightly. "The night you proposed, the night we moved officially to New York, well that's the second best day of my life. The third best being the night we had our first kiss, and the very best being today. You have no idea how much you've done for me, after spending just three weeks with you I fell for you and got over my stage fright, two things I thought would never happen." She laughs slightly, the rest of us joining her. "I would have died of embarrassment that day when I decided to show the school I could sing, had you not grabbed your guitar and rescued me. You showed the whole school your hidden talent, simply because you love me. And no one has ever made me feel that special, and no one else ever will. Do you remember that snowball fight we had a few days into our trip here, the first time?" I nod, she smiles, "that's when I started to realize every little thing about you. The way you run your hand through your hair when you're nervous or stressed. The way you smile and look at all your friends, with true love and care for them. I'd always wanted someone to look at me that way. And then when you were in my room, before we went shopping for food, because Cassidy forced us, telling me that a didn't have to wear make-up, I realised you were looking at me that way to. I keep falling for you too. Every time I wake up, or I see you, it's like falling for you all over again. And I will never, ever, stop loving you." I feel tears fall down my cheek and smile. "Don't you start crying," she says with a smile, "I'm the girl, I'm meant to be the emotional one, remember," she causes everyone to laugh.
There's that special little sparkle in her eye, one only reserved for me, her flirting one. Little Miss Ally Dawson –soon to be Moon- was purposely flirting with me in front of everyone at our wedding.
"The ring please," this time Trent walks over to give me the ring. "Repeat after me," I nod, "I, Ally Dawson."
"I, Ally Dawson."
"Do take the Austin Monica Moon."
"Do take the Austin," she starts to laugh, I playfully roll my eyes, "do take the Austin Monica Moon."
"To be my lawful husband."
"To be my lawful husband."
"To have and to hold."
"To have and to hold."
"To honour and to cherish, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health."
"To honour and to cherish, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health."
"Till death do us part."
"Till death do us part."
"You may now place the ring on his finger." Both of us still shaking slightly, but more relaxed now, she slides the ring on to my finger. "I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." I smile from ear to ear, she does the same.
"About time." I say with a smile and close the gap between us.
"He said 'kiss the bride' not 'suck her face off'." Dez says interrupting us. We pull away and I smile, giving her one more quick peck on the lips.
"Love you," I say.
"Love you too."
I grab her hand and we walk down the aisle. Everyone has huge smiles on their faces, a few people with tears slowly rolling down their face.
We walk through the door and out of peoples sight and then pull her to me. "Well Mrs Moon, you really look amazing in that dress. And you wore the charm bracelet."
"How could I not, it's beautiful Austin, thank you so much! And I see you have matching badges," she smiles and points at my tie.
"Yeah, is that too much?"
"No, it's perfect, I love you so much."
"Well I gathered that by you agreeing to marry me."
She stared at me, "Austin…"
"I'm joking," I say laying my hands on her waist, "I love you too Alls."
"Well I gathered that by you agreeing to marry me." She does her impression of me.
"Wow, six years of and you still can't do a good impression of me." I wink at her, she playfully pushes me.
"Not arguing already are we?" Cassidy says as they all join us.
"I can't believe that you guys are actually married!" Dez says hugging us both.
"I know! Me neither!" Ally says, her and the girls have a group hug, and the guys pat me on the back.
"You guys can really pull off suits off I have to say," Brooke, Trent's girlfriend, joins us. He swings an arm over her shoulders. "Trish, Cassidy love your dresses. And Ally," she looks right at her, " you look beautiful."
"Thank you," Ally says giving her a quick hug.
"As much as I do love this little bonding thing we're doing right now, I'm starving! Can we go eat now?" Elliot complains, I nod.
The top table is just us, the eight of us. Brooke said at all the weddings she's been to, on the top table the guys sit one side and the girls sit the other. But if everyone is in happy long term relationships then why should we sit apart?
As for the other guests, not that there's many, are sitting where they want to. We didn't really se the point in having a seating plan, it just seemed like it would be a lot of hassle. So instead we calculated that ten seats per a table was enough so no one would be left out and have to sit with people they don't know.
Ally's View
"That food was so good," Trent says finishing his plate, he's the last to finish, very slow eater.
Dez stands up, "it is now time for Mr and Mrs Moon to cut the cake." Everyone smiles at us.
"Mr and Mrs Moon…I like the sound of that," Austin says taking hold of my hand as we stand up.
"Me too," I smile and kiss him on the cheek.
A Few Minutes Later
"No Austin! Stop! You're wasting the cake!" Austin, be the lovely man he is, rubs cake across my face.
"How does it taste?" He asks while laughing, everyone laughing with him, including me, and taking photos.
"Amazing!"
"Good, now let's get you cleaned up." He picks up a napkin and starts to wipe my face. "There, no more cake on your face," he grins showing me the dirty napkin, as if it's proof.
"Good," I turn to the guests, "help your selves to cake!" I say grabbing Austin and I a slice each and heading back to our table.
"You were right," Austin says after taking a bite of his slice, "this is amazing cake."
"Mmmm" I agree.
I look at Austin and smile, "here," I use a napkin to wipe away icing from the side of his mouth. When I'm done I smile and he blushes. "After all these years I still make you blush."
"And I still make you blush, don't forget that," he has a cheeky smile spread across his face. I love that smile.
"So how's the married life?" Elliot asks, our friends joining us again.
"Perfect," we say in unison, and start laughing.
"So which one of you guys is next to propose?" Austin says, all the guys eyes widen causing the rest of us to laugh, "guys I'm joking." The three of them let out a sigh.
"Come on Moons, it's time for your first dance," Dez says, he really learnt the timetable.
"Yes, captain!" Austin says as we stand up.
He places his hands on my waist and I wrap mine around his neck.
The music starts to play in the background, 'you and I' another song we wrote together. Okay, maybe we're a bit big headed to use one of our own songs as our first dance, but we really like the song. Maybe we're a bit big headed.
"Have I told you, you look beautiful?" He says to me, and briefly kisses me.
"Yes, but hearing you say it again won't hurt," I say with a small smirk.
"Well it might make that ego of yours uncontrollably big," his face hold a smirk to.
"Because I'm the one is the marriage with a big ego." I say sarcastically.
He rolls his eyes, people pair off in couples and join us on the dance floor.
"I love you so much Alls."
"I love you too Austin," I close the gap between us.
"GET A ROOM!" Trish, Dez, Cassidy and Elliot shout at us.
We pull apart.
"You can just look away!" Austin says back and then closes the gap once again.
A/N- Well I hope that was satisfying!
So I've never actually been to a wedding where they say their own vows so I didn't know if they said their own then the other like standard ones. So I put both just to cover myself, so don't hate me for that.
But hey they're married! WOO!
Sadly, I won't be making a sequel, I think I'll ruin the story if I do. So this is it. The Official end of the 'When In New York' tale.
Thanks for all your support, on the story and on this two-shot.
I love you all!
Review please :D x
