I DO NOT OWN TEEN WOLF, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, OR THE CHARACTERS.
I saw Derek waiting for me, standing next to Peter and I lost my composure. I promised myself that I wasn't going to cry, but now that the moment was here, I couldn't help it. He looks so handsome and right now, there's nothing more in life that I want, than to be his wife and to have him be in my life forever. We've waited so long for this and now, it's finally here.
I still don't know how Peter got Derek to agree to let him marry us, but he did and it's somehow very fitting. I mean, Peter did propose to me, for Derek, after all. One look at Peter and I knew that I wasn't the only one who was getting misty eyed. Lydia, Caroline and Stiles all had a few tears welling in their eyes, too.
"Jeez, can you hurry up? I'm going to cry and then you're going to cry and Lyds and I worked so hard on your makeup. You can't mess it up!" Stiles cried in a hushed yell. The entire wedding party laughed. I don't know if Stiles did it on purpose or not, but it worked. I didn't feel like crying, anymore. I was getting ready to marry my soulmate. I've never been more ready for anything in my life. This is what is supposed to happen. We're meant to be together. We know that.
I didn't hear anything, as Liz gave me away. Derek took my hands in his and all of my nerves calmed. I looked in his eyes and saw how sure he is about this – about us. It's completely reassuring.
"You both elected to write your own vows. Ladies first," Peter gestured for me to begin my vows. I just hope that I don't get tongue-tied and become a crying mess in front of everyone.
"Derek… when I met you, you were just my hot neighbor that could or could not be a serial killer. Thank you, by the way, for not being one." I paused, as everyone laughed. "You came over and asked if you could crash on my floor, since you locked yourself out of your apartment. And I think that some part of me just knew, since we met that day, that you were meant to be in my life in some form or another. I just knew that you were important and I just had to know you. I never could have imagined that you would be this amazing, patient, selfless man. Long before I ever realized that I had fallen in love with you, you were my best friend. That still hasn't changed. You're still one of my best, dearest, most cherished friends. I promise not try and fix anything around the house, without talking to you first. I know that it would probably do more harm than good. I promise not to make you rely on fast food and frozen dinners as your only food source. What kind of life buddy would I be?" I joked, through the tears that were starting to come down. I couldn't help it. "You make me a better version of myself, Derek. When I was little, my Grams told me that one day, I meet someone who would make it easy to be a better version of myself and challenge me in the best possible ways. She told me that when that happened, I will have met my soulmate. She hoped that she would be around to see it and to meet that person…" I wiped off my cheek with the back of my hand. Derek pulled me closer and cradled me against his chest and kissed the tears away from my face. "But I know that she would have really loved you. I feel it in my heart." I composed myself and took a small step back from Derek. "D – you're amazing and I thank my lucky stars that I was privileged enough to have met you. I feel like I can finally see things in color, now that you're in my life. I love you, so much." I finished. Derek beamed at me. The love that I could see and feel radiating off of him is unlike anything else that I've ever felt before.
"Don't fuck this up." Peter whispered to Derek. A giggle erupted from my mouth and I couldn't help it. I think he forgot that he had a microphone clipped to his tie, because everyone else was laughing, too.
"I've never really been great with words, but here it goes." Derek took a deep breath. "Bon, when I met you, I knew that there would never be anyone else for me. I was mesmerized the first time that I saw you. You had flour on your hands and I knew that you weren't expecting any company… Maybe that's why you were so appealing to me. You were so beautiful without even trying to be. You're that effortless kind of gorgeous. I love that in a person. You keep me on my toes. It's not always easy keeping up with you. Right for the get go, you encouraged me to do better and to be better. I love that about you. I love that you're that type of woman. You make me feel loved and appreciated. I love my family, but things haven't always been easy for us. When we lost so much of our family… I didn't think that I would ever find a way to feel whole again… I still miss them every day… but I don't feel like I have some missing piece inside of me, anymore. You did that for me. You even get along with my crazy ass friends and family. I love you. It's always been you. There could never be anyone else for me." He vowed. A few tears trickled down my face, but he brushed them away with his thumbs.
"I couldn't have said it better myself." Peter admitted. I cracked a smile. "Bonnie Grace Bennett, do you take Derek Allen Hale, to be your lawfully wedded husband? In sickness and health? For richer or poorer? Till death do you part? For as long as you both shall live?" Peter asked me. I nodded and beamed at Derek.
"I do." I breathed. Derek beamed at me.

"I do."
"You may now kiss the bride." Peter announced. Happy tears started to cascade down my face, as Derek cupped my face and kissed me. Everyone cheered behind us. "I'm happy to announce Mr. and Mrs. Hale. You're officially part of the family, kitten." He smiled at me.
"Thanks, daddy."
