Not to sure what to say, hope this works for you all, please review.

Beth had been out of the room for nearly 45 minutes and Daryl was getting fidgety "What the hell takes so long?" he questioned Rick

"Daryl mate, what ya gotta understand is that you have just given her everything she's dreamed of since she was a child. She's gunna take her time to get ready, look lovely for you." he shook his head at him, leaning down scrubbing the ruff on his face.

"I remember my wedding day Lori was half an hour late to the church, didn't think she was going to make it, thought she had changed her mind." he chuckled at the memory, Daryl noticed he looked over where Carl was sat listening to their exchange, a small smile on his face.

"But I ain' that patient." Daryl said

"Ummm Daryl." he turned to look at Carl "If ya don' mind me saying perhaps you should change your trousers, the umm walker goo." he shrugged almost apologising, Daryl looked from Rick to Carl.

"Ya think?" he said they both nodded together "There is a little fault in your plan there" he said "Ain' go none." he looked a little sad.

"Oh really" Carl smirked "Well ya see that's where your wrong, coz Michonne brought ya some back they are over here, I will show ya." Daryl followed Carl hoping to JC that Michonne hadn't picked him up one of those stupid suits coz he wasn't dressing as a monkey for no one. Carl handed him the trousers, they were a plan black pair of jeans, and he smiled slightly he should have known Michonne would have picked something to his liking, he picked up the jeans and started heading towards the cell block, "Nooooooooo" all the men shouted in unison, Daryl turned confused.

"What?" Hershel hobbled forward a little to catch his attention

"It's a tradition, no seeing the bride before the wedding." Daryl rolled his eyes at him

"Ya jokin' right?"

"Nope" Hershel said "Into the corridor with ya." he pushed him lightly in the arm. Daryl mumbled under his breath as he headed out of the main room and swiftly changed, his irritable self showing its face again. He was back in no time stalking towards Rick, not looking to anyone else in the room.

"Better?" he asked and Rick nodded "They still out there?" he said a slight desperation in his voice this was worse than all the times he had to go bail Merle out, he wished Merle was here, then back tracked on that thought, knowing full well he would be ripping him a new one.

There was a cough from the cell block as Sasha, Karen and Michonne came in, this was it no turning back now. Daryl shuffled his feet and smiled at Michonne, he owed her a lot for helping him make this happen, he just didn't have a clue how he was going to repay her.

Music began to play quietly in the room, Carl smiling up at Daryl, he gave himself an internal smack to the head, how could he have forgotten the music? Dumb ass.

He looked at Rick, worry covering his face, Rick gave him a tap on the shoulder then looked over it, he heard Rick breath in deep, Daryl turned and froze to the spot, Beth was stood next to her father dressed in one of the seven dresses that Michonne had insisted they picked. It was a black and white dress with only thin straps, it pulled into her waist then flowed slightly out and down to the floor, he gulped down a large lump that had appeared in his throat.

Her blonde hair flowing over her shoulder, a small amount of make up was set in place and he realised she was the most beautiful creature he had ever set eyes on and she was his.

Beth took Hershel's arm, smiling up at him, Daryl's heart melted in his chest, he was bursting with pride, love and just slightly want.

When they got to him, Rick asked "Who gives this woman to this man?"

"I do." Hershel said placing Beth's hand into Daryl's and giving their hands a slight squeeze, Daryl's eyes met Hershel's old wise and tired eyes. "Look after my little girl?" he asked.

"Always" Daryl promised the man. Hershel nodded and turned back towards the room finding a seat with Maggie and Glenn.

Daryl turned to Beth and gave her a small shy smile, she beamed at him, a blinding smile he could remember from when they first arrived on the farm, today she has no worries no cares, yes this was all worth it.

"We are all here together today sending our blessings on this couple, who will soon become as one. Daryl and Beth, have asked me to oversee their wedding ceremony.

Daryl Dixon, do you take Beth Greene to be your wife? To love and to cherish, to protect and be protected by?"

"Umm yeah man." Daryl stated everyone in the room giggled

"Beth Greene do you take Daryl Dixon to be your husband? To love and to cherish, to protect and be protected by?"

"I do." she squeaked in a small voice.

"Then in the power that ya all have invested in me you are man and wife. Congratulation Mr and Mrs Dixon. You may kiss the bride." Daryl lowered his lips to Beth's, trembling with how scared he felt right now, he had a wife, well that would of shocked the shit out of everyone at home, they all thought he was gay.

"I love you, Mrs Dixon" he said his voice horse with emotion

"And I love you too Mr Dixon." she squeaked again, a small tear running down her cheek, he wiped it away with his thumb, putting his thumb to his mouth. They turned to the room and were showered in cheers and shouts, everyone running up to give them their best wishes, after a few minutes Daryl kissed Beth on the cheek, begging her to let him go outside for a few minutes to pull himself together, she nodded and he went into the nights air.

Daryl took a small box from his pocket, and lit a cigarette taking the smoke deeply into his lungs, he relaxed a little, never liking being centre of attention all this was overwhelming, but worth it if only for Beth, unknowingly Daryl had made his way over to the small grave yard, full of his family member's but only one stuck out tonight and he made his way to it.

"you'd never admit it Bro, but hell man ya would have been proud today, I have done it, I have finally turned into the man you told me I could be, all those years ago, ya remember that Merle? You'd come back on leave, Ma had already left us and I was reading when ya came in, ya told me to keep that shit up coz one day I'd be a better man than you two, and hell I done it." he felt a tear roll down his face a swiped at it. "I love ya Merle." he touched the strung together twigs that made Merle's head stone and headed back towards the prison, his family and his wife. Life really did hold a small promise even now.
