Leyton wedding. Sorry for the long wait. :)


He stood their, waiting. Forever if he had to.

"You didn't push me away. I came back for you. No matter how long it takes, I'll wait for you."

"Luke, relax." Nathan comforted.

"Thanks, Nate." The truth was Lucas wasn't nervous. He was overwhelmed.

Maybe it wasn't the fact that Lucas Scott was getting married to his high school sweetheart. It was the fact that he was getting married to the girl of his dreams--to his soul mate. He was undeniably and irrevocably in love with this woman. In so many ways, Lucas Scott felt like he was on top of the world. He was no longer the boy who refused to admit his feelings about the girl he really loves. He no longer wanted to look for an easy way out. He didn't want to run anymore because he knows deep in his heart where he's supposed to be and who he's supposed to be with.

And that girl was Peyton Sawyer.

A beautiful curly blond faced the floor-length mirror. Her hair was curled down and was ornamented with crystal pins that had been given to her by Karen Roe. She smoothed her dress which clung beautifully to her thin figure.

"Peyton Sawyer will become Peyton Scott." Haley's past words stayed in Peyton's heart.

Peyton believed that this was all a dream. That any second she'd wake up it will be all taken away from her. If this was true she would've liked to sleep forever. But this wasn't a dream. This wasn't a fantasy. It was real. She was going to become Peyton Scott.

Scott. She thought to herself. She was going to be his wife. Sure, Lucas had said twice before that she was destined for greatness. And it happened. Her dreams came true. But the one thing that was missing was him. Just like Lucas said before, none of his dreams matter without her and in truth she felt the same. Even if she was destined for greatness, none of it mattered because he wasn't by her side. But now he was. And all of it mattered again.

For a long time she'd been lost. A father always out somewhere in the sea, a brother fighting for their country, and two moms who weren't alive. Peyton wanted a family, she wanted a home. Lucas Scott was going to give that to her.

Brooke entered the small tent where the blond had changed, "Peyton Elizabeth Sawyer, you look gorgeous." A smile crept both their lips. "Thank you, Brooke. For everything."

"Peyton, you're my sister. And I want you to be happy." Both girls couldn't keep their emotions bottled and in a second they were already in tears.

"Okay, okay." Brooke tried to pull herself together. "We can't ruin your make up."

Brooke gave her best friend a long embrace. "This is it P. Sawyer. It's time to become Peyton Scott."

The River Court was wonderfully decorated. Everything looked perfect. Everyone was settled inside the white tent, anxiously waiting for the bride to finally enter.

Jamie and Lily did their tasks and brought the rings and petals of flowers. Mia had the time to pay another visit for Tree Hill when Haley had called her to sing at the wedding and delightfully agreed.

As soon as Mia began singing, everyone stood up and watched a lovely Peyton Sawyer enter the aisle. Lucas couldn't help but stare in admiration as his comet was walking towards him. A dream he had ever since the day he fell in love with her.

The comet had become more than just a symbol of his love for Peyton. It defined everything she was to him; how she was a vital part of his now, whole heart. She brought direction, beauty, and meaning into his life. She had reawakened his belief in God, love, and art. And because of that, he wanted to the same for her. But little did he know, he already did.

They faced each other and both stared into each other's eyes. His deep blue ones and her emeralds. He took her hand in his and never let it go as the minister began speaking.

"Dearly beloved, we are all gathered here today in the sight of God, and in the face of family and friends, to join together Lucas Eugene Scott and Peyton Elizabeth Sawyer in Holy Matrimony. It's an honor for me to be able to experience first hand, the love that these two share. And as I watch you two now, I know that I am in the presence of true love. A bond that can never be broken. With that said, let us now precede to the vows."

The minister faces Peyton. She stares at the boy in front of her. The boy that changed her life for the better.

"That day, the day that I almost ran over you, as strange at it may seem, changed my life," She chuckles.

"But the day after that, changed my world. Because the day you fixed my car, you fixed my heart. You basically told me your life story back then even when I didn't give you a single detail about mine. After that, we began talking more often. Remember when you entered the gym for the very first time? You said 'Your art matters. It's what got me here.' You gave me a reason to believe in myself. I told you that day that I wanted to draw something that meant something to someone and I did. You. You looked at my art the way you looked at me and in that moment I knew that you were the person I've been waiting my whole entire life for."

Her eyes were filled with love and affection for the boy who stood in front of her. Little sniffles and soft whispers were heard inside the tent. The minister then turned to the now-not-so-brooding blond.

"Lucas." The minister directed.

"I spent most of my childhood admiring you from afar," a small smile crept up to his lips, "but that wasn't enough for me. The day I finally had the courage to talk to you was the second best day of my life. And I don't regret it. After all the pain, hurt, and love we went through these past couple of years, we made it. When I asked you for the second time to marry me it was like I accomplished everything I needed to. And right now, standing here with you, fulfilling my dream, this is the best day of my life."

Lucas looks at Peyton lovingly as she wipes off the small tears in the corners of her eyes. "Lucas, do you take Peyton, whom you hold by the hand to be your lawfully wedded wife, and do you covenant to be true to her, to love, cherish, and protect her, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, 'til death do you part?"

"I do." He smiles, not taking his gaze off Peyton.

"Peyton, do you take Lucas, whom you hold by the hand to be your lawfully wedded husband, covenanting to be true to him, to love, cherish, and honor him, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, 'til death do you part?"

"I do." Her eyes as well are focused on Lucas, the boy she wants to spend the rest of her life with.

"Now for the rings," the minister proceeds. Jamie hands one ring to Nathan and one ring to Brooke, who then gives it to both Lucas and Peyton.

"I, Peyton, take you, Lucas, to be my husband; to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish,
till death do us part." Peyton smiles and places the ring on Lucas' finger.

"I, Lucas, take you, Peyton, to be my wife; to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish,
till death do us part." Without taking his eyes off of Peyton, he places the ring on her finger.

"By the power invested in me by the state of North Carolina, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride."

They take a minute to breath in the moment and without further ado Lucas reels Peyton in for a long lasting kiss. After about 20 seconds, the two turn to their family and friends.

"Family and friends, I present to you for the very first time, Mr. and Mrs. Lucas Scott."

And in that instant, Peyton and Lucas' dream finally came true.
