ONE MONTH LATER

Serena gazed at herself in the mirror in her wedding dress. Her mother came over to her and said "Serena, you look absolutely beautiful".

Her makeup had been done along with her hair. Her bridesmaids were all dressed along with Blair her maid of honor. All she had to do was breathe and relax a little. She resisted the temptation to bite those perfectly manicured nails.

Nate finished doing his tie as Chuck his best man gave him a pat on the back. His groomsmen thankfully had all shown up on time and before he knew it Serena was walking down the aisle.

William, her father had offered to walk her down the aisle even if they hadn't always been the closest. Serena felt the bittersweet as she made the long journey to Nate under the altar of white flowers. As she walked up to him, the officiant asked Nate "Do you Nathaniel Fitzwilliam Archibald take Serena Celia Van der Woodsen to be your lawfully wedded wife?" Nate responded with an "I do". Serena was then asked the same thing and she responded "I do".

Then came the vows and Nate went first, "Serena, I promise to love you through the good and the bad. To cherish your beauty and your kindness so long as we both shall live. I give you this ring as a promise".

Serena went next " Nate you have always been the love of my life. You have supported me through so much and I cannot imagine a day without out. You mean so much to me. I plan to stick by you through everything just as you have done for me. This ring is a symbol of this promise".

They exchanged rings and the officiant pronounced them husband and wife. Then came the kiss. It was sweet yet passionate. The beach had been the perfect setting for the wedding. Then came photos for the magazines with the whole bridal party. Serena tossed her bouquet and Penelope caught it.

They had an open bar on the beach and appetizers were served. As they ate dinner the sun began to set. "I have the most gorgeous wife in the world" Nate whispered into Serena's ear. She smiled and kissed him on the cheek.

Nate took his wife's hand and pulled her onto the dance floor as the DJ started the music. The night went on perfectly and passed in a blur.

As the evening came to a close, Nate and Serena changed before taking the Bass private jet. Serena kissed Nate softly and then said "You part of the Mile High Club?" Nate starting laughing and replied "Well there is always a first time".

Afterall it was the jet that only Nate used for work and he was sure Chuck had done much worse on a jet. Well the stewardess was no where near them. They both entered the bathroom in a passionate embrace. Nate trailed kisses over Serena's collarbone down to her breast before he undid the button and zipper of his pants. Serena leaned against the door as she pulled him closer to her.

She felt his hard length against her as Nate hiked her short black skirt up to her hips. He pulled off her thong and slipped off his boxers before entering her. She moaned as his thrusts quickened. Nate continued to kiss her as they finished. Serena pulled her skirt back down and discreetly slipped out of the bathroom. Moments later Nate came out.

The rest of the flight Serena slept with her head in Nate's lap. After 16 hours Nate could finally see the deep water and the sand of the private island they were staying on. He sighed as he stroked his beautiful wife's hair. Classes were starting soon for school and he assumed he would be very busy.

Serena's eyes fluttered open. She smelled Nate's cologne. That sent always felt so familiar. Propping herself up she planted a kiss on Nate's lips. "We're here!" she said enthusiastically. He smiled as they landed. Taking her hand they walked off the jet to the house.

It was modern and sleek as they found the master bedroom. The bed was very large and Nate was sure they would be enjoying themselves. Besides the ocean there was a pool, jacuzzi, and sauna. A large kitchen, living room, master bath with the biggest bathtub he had ever seen. This truly was the best place to honeymoon for two weeks.

Once they had settled in, Nate slipped on his bathing suit. He found Serena already tanning on the beach, gossip magazine in hand. He smiled and picked her up. She dropped her magazine and squealed.

"Natie! Put me down" she demanded. "Too late" he responded with a passionate kiss. He could already feel her smiling underneath his lips. He pretended to drop her and she continued to giggle. Finally he put her down as they reached the ocean. The water was a deep blue and he told Serena, "The water looks like your eyes". She smiled before kissing him and pulling him into the water.

She looked back at him and thought I'm Mrs. Nathaniel Archibald...she smiled a little. He splashed her and Nate watched the water glisten off her tan skin. They swam and spent the rest of the afternoon at the beach.
