"You look great," said Jackson as he admired Aaron when he walked into the bedroom.

"You don't look half bad yourself," Aaron commented as he walked upto Jackson and gave him a quick kiss. They both had brand new suits on because it was Nathan and Carl's wedding today and Hazel had insisted that they go shopping for new clothes.

"Have you got everything?" asked Aaron as he picked up his mobile phone off the dresser.

All I need is you," said Jackson as he pinched Aaron's bottom, Aaron rolled his eye's. "Tell me again why I'm with you."

"Because I'm irresistible," Jackson said with a big grin on his face.

"Yeah right! Come on, we'd better get downstairs, the taxi will be here soon," Aaron exited the bedroom and made his way downstairs with Jackson following him.

Hazel was in the kitchen waiting for them with a camera in her hand, she planned on taking photo's before they left. She smiled at them as they entered. "You both look very smart," she said, "stand just there, so I can take a photo."

"Mum, were gonna be late," Jackson stated as he stood beside Aaron who wasn't protesting because he knew they wouldn't get out of the house until Hazel had what she wanted. She took a couple of photo's then told them to look at each other, which they did and big smiles broke out on their faces, they lent in and kissed each other as Hazel was clicking away on the camera. "Perfect," she said.

"Mum, we really have to go," he said as the taxi honked it's horn outside.

Hazel put the camera on the table and hugged first Jackson then Aaron. "Have a good time."

"We will," said Aaron as he took hold of Jackson's hand and they went out of the house and got in the taxi.

A&J

The ceremony was taking place at a hotel in Hotten and when Jackson and Aaron got there nearly all the guests had arrived. The said hello to some of their friends as they got out of the taxi and stopped and chatted to a couple of them before making their way inside.

"Carl looks nervous," said Aaron as they walked into the room where the ceremony was due to take place.

"Come on, let's go and talk to him," said Jackson taking Aaron's hand.

Carl looked up as they approached. "Hey guys."

"How ya doing?" asked Jackson as he shook his hand.

"Nervous," Carl said as he shook Aaron's hand, "trying to remember what I'm going to say, I knew it perfectly last night, but now I'm…."

"You'll do fine mate," said Aaron.

Carl gave a nervous smile, "I can't wait to see you on the day you and Jackson get hitched, I'll remind you of what you just said." They all laughed.

"Where's Nathan?"

Carl looked around and spotted him, "over there with his mum, she's been fussing over him all morning."

Jackson and Aaron looked over in the direction that Carl was pointing and they saw a woman trying to straighten Nathan's tie, and Nathan trying to move here hand's out of the way.

"I'll go and see him," said Jackson as he let go of Aaron's hand.

"I'll wait here," Aaron said as Jackson nodded and walked towards his friend.

"So," said Carl, "how are your wedding plans going?"

"We've got a definite date, 3rd March, we went to see the registrar yesterday," he nodded towards Jackson and Nathan, "Jackson's going to ask Nathan to be his best man."

Carl smiled, "Nathan will be chuffed. What about you?"

"My best mate Adam, he's always been there for me so I knew there was no one better. Although, I have warned him not to embarrass me when he makes his speech."

Carl laughed. "I know what you mean. I'm a bit apprehensive about what Ryan and Dom are going to say."

"Knowing them two it won't be boring," Aaron said with a smirk.

"That's what I'm worried about."

A&J

"Jackson," said Nathan, relieved to see his friend walking towards him, "mum I've just got to have a word with Jackson," he said as he grabbed Jackson's arm and pulled him away from his mother..

"She doing your head in?" Jackson inquired with a grin on his face.

"You have no idea," said Nathan sighing, "she's been like that since I woke up this morning. I stayed at her house last night and she's been fussing over me all the time."

"How are you feeling?"

"A bit nervous, but I know Carl's the one."

"You've found a good one there," said Jackson as they both looked over at the two men in their lives.

"So have you."

Jackson smiled. "I know," he turned his attention back to Nathan, "I want to ask you a favour and seen as it is your wedding day, you can't refuse me."

Nathan looked at him curiously, "Okay."

"Aaron and I confirmed out wedding date yesterday and I was wondering if you would be my best man?" A smile broke out on Nathan's face. "I'd be honoured mate," he said as he pulled Jackson into a hug.

"Hey," they both heard as they release each other from the embrace, "that's my fiancé you've got your arms around," said Aaron as Jackson moved from Nathan and moved to Aaron's side and put his arm around his waist. "You know I only have eyes for you," he said as he gave Aaron a quick kiss on the lips.

"Jackson asked me to be his best man," Nathan said to Carl who was now beside him.

"I know, Aaron told me."

They didn't get chance to carry on the conversation because they were interrupted by Nathan and Carl's mother's. "It's time love," said Carl's mum.

Nathan took Carl's hand. "You ready?"

"Definitely."

A&J

The ceremony had finished and everyone clapped and cheered as Nathan and Carl kissed sealing their union. Aaron leaned close to Jackson. "That will be us in a few month's," he whispered in his ear and kissed his cheek. Jackson smiled. "I can't wait."

Everyone stood as Nathan and Carl made their way out of the room, the guests clapping them out then following behind them. The reception was in the hotels restaurant and everyone took their seats when they found their names on the place cards.

Aaron and Jackson were sat next to the top table. The meal was lovely and everyone had a good time, even Aaron was joining in with the conversation on the table. Jackson was proud of him because Aaron usually sit's back and lets Jackson do all the talking. The best man speeches were really good and they had the room in stitches, Nathan and Carl kept hanging their heads, they couldn't believe some of the thing's Ryan and Dom were saying, but it was all in good fun.

"You fancy a beer?" Jackson asked Aaron as the speeches finished, he knew Aaron wasn't a wine fan which was what had been served during dinner.

"I'd kill for one," said Aaron, Jackson smiled and kissed Aaron as he got up and made his way to the bar.

The bar area was pretty busy and Jackson had to wait for a couple of minutes before he could get to the front of the queue. He wasn't looking at the barman when he spoke. "What can I get you?"

Jackson froze, he knew immediately who it was, he looked up and he found himself staring at the one person he hoped he would never see again.
