Thank you to everyone for reading. Within the next few days I will start the sequel (with actually substance and not just fluff). I hope you had as much fun reading this as I did writing it.

Chapter 10

Someone Old, Something New, Someone Barrowed, and Something Blue

Two weeks. Rose Tyler hated her mom for the dis-ownment threats if the Doctor and she ran off and eloped, but couldn't help but be pleased with the end results. Especially with Rose's special request for the dress the arrangements couldn't be made any sooner, and it was a miracle they even happened that fast. Rose didn't want a big wedding, all she wanted was the Doctor forever, but Jackie insisted on inviting everyone they know. Armed guards patrolled the Tyler property scouting for paparazzi at Rose's request. Jackie might want to be able to show off the wedding in the magazines at the market, but she knew Rose and the Doctor didn't care about their inheritance. If she allowed reports to the wedding they'd be eloped within the hour.

The morning of Rose's nerves were at an all time high. She wasn't worried about marrying the Doctor, she'd wanted this for as long as she could remember. No, Rose was worried about all the things at the wedding that could, and probably would, go wrong. With her and the Doctor's luck the Daleks would probably invade just to crash the Oncoming Storm's big day.

Still, when the time came for her to get ready, Rose had never been more excited. Jackie let her sleep in, so she wouldn't have bags, before waking her up lunch in hand. Up until the night before Rose had been living at the flat with the Doctor, but Jackie insisted that the couple didn't see each other before the big event. The flat was amazing, but it did only have one bedroom.

Around noon Jackie arrived to start helping Rose get ready. The ceremony wasn't until 4 and it wasn't like they had to travel at all (they were holding it on the estate), but Jackie wanted plenty of time to get Rose ready. While she complained about it in the beginning in the end she was grateful. At 3: 45 Jackie was still gently braiding the white roses into Rose's hair to match her bouquet. Finally, Jackie finished and Rose was allowed to look in the mirror for the first time since her plucking, braiding, and makeup began.

Rose never had a bad self-image, but never in her life had she looked so beautiful. Jackie's intricate braids shined with a dash of sparkles but the dress topped it all. Flowing gently to the floor it was plain, except for the shining Tardis blue it was made of. The Doctor had asked why Rose needed a custom dress, but she'd kept her lips sealed wanting it to be a surprise. And what a surprise it will be.

"Oh honey, you look beautiful!" Jackie cried wiping away a single tear.

Rose beamed; she did look pretty great.

Ten minutes later everyone was seated and Pete escorted Rose from her room down the stairs, and outside. She felt almost ready to puke with nerves as she focused on walking in her high heels hoping Pete would catch her if she fell. Rose wanted to back out, until she saw him.

Of course he would be wearing that. Rose realized when she saw his suit matching her dress. The same suit he'd been wearing a month and a half ago when they began their new lives together.

Upon reaching where he stood Rose had expected some comment about her dress, but the look in the Doctor's eyes said that he hadn't even seen it. The crowds didn't matter, the ceremony mattered, nothing in the Universe mattered but the two of them.

"I believe you wrote your own vows," the Reverent said shattering the walls of their paradise.

The Doctor got to go first, "Rose, you saved me. When I first met you I was a wreck. Everyday I continued with my life like it had a purpose, but it didn't. Then I met you. Our meeting was about as typical as anything with me, but finding you wasn't accident, it was fate. On that very first day you saved my life, and you've done it ever since. Rose, I promise to go to the end of the earth for you. I promise to always keep you safe and never, ever let go. I promise to spend the rest of my one life with you, like you've always promised to do with me. And I promise to never, ever, lose you again."

Rose didn't know how she'd top that tears in her eyes, "I don't know what to say after that. John, you're my Doctor. You've healed by heart so many times over I can never thank you for it. I promise to stay by you always. I promise to fight my way through crowds of monsters just to save you. I promise to never let you keep the horse. And I promise to never, ever, lose you again."

"...And now I gladly pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

And so, he did.
