A/N: as a request, I wrote another chapter ^-^ enjoy

Carol's heart beat wildly as she clutched the wild flowers to her chest. Everybody was turned towards her and Glenn, waiting, eyes shining with excitement as they took in Carol's form.

"It's alright." Glenn murmured, leading her forward gently. Carol didn't know why she felt so nervous. She had been married since she was seventeen for crying out loud! But, she never felt this happy going down the aisle in her first marriage. On her wedding day, she remembered pleading with her mother. Carol didn't want to marry him, but she was pregnant with Sophia and her parents, considering themselves good "Christians" told her to marry Ed, as they wouldn't let her abort the child.

Carol felt Glenn let go of her, snapping her out of her thoughts. She was marrying Daryl Dixon, not Ed. He was a thing of the past. Daryl would never do what Ed had done to her. As soon as Glenn let go of her, Daryl had her hand, leading her up to where Hershel and the others waited. Rick was beside Hershel, dressed in nice dress pants and a light blue dress shirt. He was the best man after all. Shane looked slightly annoyed, but Carol ignored it. This was their day.

Maggie was standing on the other side of Hershel, grinning broadly. Maggie was Carol's maid of honor. She was wearing a light green dress that flowed down to her ankles. Beth was beside her, wearing a light lavender dress with white flowers in her blonde hair. As they reached Hershel, Maggie took Carol's flowers, backing away to where she was before.

Carol and Daryl turned towards each other, ready to endure the long ceremony that lay ahead before they were married. Daryl smiled, making Carol's heart flutter. His smile always melted her heart. They looked to Hershel who was dressed in his best for the occasion, bible open to the page he wanted to read.

"Dearly beloved." he began. Carol zoned out after that. She already knew what came after that, a long, boring speech. Hey eyes explored Daryl's figuire instead. His eyes were doing the same, meeting hers as she looked at his face. Daryl was clean, his skin scrubbed the night before. He had on a white dress shirt Hershel had lent him and some dress pants that used to belong to Hershel's father Carol guessed, mainly because they actually fit Daryl. His hands were shaking, but he kept hers in his firm grasp.

When Carol married Ed, he had refused to look at her the whole ceremony, slipping her wedding ring onto her finger roughly. Carol was four months pregnant when she got married. Her parents tried to cover her pregnancy with a heavy dress that was to big for her frame, laughing with the crowd at her choice in dresses and acting like the two of them actually wished to be married.

Carol's honeymoon with Ed was short. They went to the Florida Keys for four days before returning, mainly because Carol was so sick. She had returned with a bruise on her arm and some on her legs, which she passed off as her fault. Each bruise had an excuse of course, none of them leading to Ed, who had shown her his dark side the first night they were alone. He never wanted to marry her. He didn't want Sophia either.

"Carol, do you take Daryl to be your husband, in sickness and in health, to have and to hold forever?" Hershel asked her. They had decided to cut the rest of that speech off, mainly because it didn't apply to the world now.

"I do." Carol said firmly as Daryl slipped the ring on her finger. Hershel repeated to Daryl.

"I do." he said, looking at her as she slipped his wedding band onto his finger. They both smiled and Carol noticed Daryl wasn't shaking anymore.

"I know pronounce you husband and wife," Hershel told them. "You may kiss the bride."

Daryl took Carol's face in his hand, leaning down and pressing his lips to hers. Carol responded, throwing her arms around his neck and kissing back passionetly. When they broke apart, everybody was clapping. T-Dog whistled as they came down the aisle. Rick came up behind Daryl, clapping him on the back and congratulating him. Maggie gave Carol a hug, followed by Glenn.

Daryl gave Carol another kiss, receiving another round applause and cheering.

A/N: I make a chapter 3, which will be the wedding night/honeymoon. Then this story would go from K+ to M :p
