Toastmaster: "Ladies and gentlemen let me introduce to you, Serena and Nathaniel Archibald!"
Everyone applauded as Serena made their entrance and sat down
Serena: sits down and whispers to Nate "This is kind of crazy, there's like 200 people here celebrating our love" smiles
Nate: chuckles "I know, insane" smiles and kisses her cheek
Toastmaster: I will be your toastmaster tonight, so if anyone wants to speak all you need is to let me know. Tonight we'll enjoy a 3 coarse put together by our chef. Enjoy
As the toastmaster sat down the food came out. Soon both the appetizer and the main course were over with and the speeches started. First one out was Blair.
Blair: "Wow, if someone said I'd be standing here 10 years ago I would've have sent them straight to the Ostroff center. But I guess that was because I was dating Nate, but things change. Anyway Serena and I have been best friends for as long as I can remember. And S, I know it haven't always been peace and love between us, but we always find our way back together. Because we aren't just best friends, we're sisters." smiles
Serena: smiles and wipes her tears away.
Blair: "Nate, take care of Serena for me, because now that she's married I expect you, not me to solve her problems. And I know I can rely on you to be a good husband, because I speak of experience when I say that you were a good boyfriend." smiles "I love both of you and I wish you all luck in the world. Congratulations and good luck" raises her glass "A toast for my two best friends, Serena and Nate!"
Everyone raised their glass and toasted Serena and Nate, while Serena hugged her best friend.
Serena: hugging Blair "I love you too Blair Waldorf!" smiles with tears in her eyes
Blair: smiles "Good" laughs
The next speaker was Chuck.
Chuck: "Dear Serena and Nathaniel. Congratulations. Nathaniel has been my best friend for a really long time and the two of us have always looked out for each other. We've helped each other out of situations like gambling, girl problems and black mailing. And Nathaniel, Serena, Blair and I have been through a lot together, but we've gotten through it. Or else we wouldn't be standing here today. Congratulations again and I know you'll have a life together full of drama"
Nate: shakes his hand "Thanks man, that was very comforting" chuckles
Chuck: "You're welcome, and you know I never lie"
Nate: "Right" smiles
Serena: hugs Chuck "Thank you Chuck, and believe me you're up for more drama then we are" smiles
Lily: gets up and walks over to the microphone. "Dear Serena, I'm going to be honest with you. Because I really didn't think this day would come this soon"
Serena: smiles "That's ok mum, neither did I" '
Nate: talks under his breath "Yeah, me neither"
Serena: sends him a "Shut up" look
Nate: chuckles
Lily: smiles "Anyway, I'm really happy for you Serena because I know that you haven't always had it easy. And I also know that a lot of it is my fault. But I am really proud of you, because you've really become a mature and smart woman. And I'm really glad you found Nathaniel. Because I have always seen you two together and I you can imagine how thrilled I was when you told me you were engaged. Because Nathaniel, you've always been there for Serena, even when I wasn't and I really appreciate that. You were always what you could call Serena's prince charming. So thank you and welcome to the family. Serena I love you and I'm very proud of the person you've become. Congratulations to you both and good luck in the future."
Serena: stands up and waits for her mother to walk over to her before she hugs her "Thank you mum, it means a lot to her you say that!" smiles
Lily: hugs her back "Well, I mean every word of it. I really do love you Serena"
Serena: "I love you too mum" smiles
Nathaniel: hugs Lily "Thank you Lily, it was a beautiful speech"
Lily: "You're welcome Nathaniel" smiles and walks back to her seat
Serena: looks at Nate "You're my prince" giggels
Nate: chuckles "I've always been and I always will be" smiles
Serena: smiles "I love you"
Nate: "Love you too" kisses her
The last speaker was Nate.
Nate: stands up and clears his throat to get everyone's attention "As you all know we are gathered here today because I finally became man enough to ask this beautiful woman to marry me." Smiles at Serena "And believe me when I say I gathered my nerves I really did, because I was freaking nervous."
Serena: giggles a little along with some of the guests
Nate: looks at Serena and takes her hand "Dear Serena, I think everybody here knows that I really love you. For how long I don't know, but I know that I will love you as long as I'll live. Because you keep me going, you always cheer me up with the craziest thoughts and ideas and you never let a fun night pass you by. I actually can't believe it's been three and a half year since we got together, because when I'm with you time flies by. We've known each other since we were born and you've always been one of my best friends. To believe that I chose Blair first still surprises me." Looks at Blair "No offence Blair"
Blair: smiles "None taken"
Serena: giggles
Nate: looks back at Serena and smiles "Anyway it was not because Blair was a bad girlfriend or anything, but because I've always felt something special for you." Looks at the guests "So before I end this I would like to offer some thank yous." looks at Lily "First to Lily. Thank you for raising such an amazing daughter and for letting me marry her" smiles
Lily: smiles back at him
Nate: still holding on to Serena's hand he turns to his mother "Mum, thank you for always supporting me and for all the advices you've given me."
Anne: smiles
Nate: "Then to our best friend Blair" turns to Blair "Thank you for breaking up with me so that I could, in the end, end up with this beautiful and amazing woman"
Blair: laughs "Again, you're welcome"
Guests: laughs a little
Nate: "Good" smiles and turns to Eric "Eric, thank you for being such an amazing big little brother to Serena and friend to me" turns to his best friend "Chuck, thanks for being the friend you've always been and knowing when to talk some sense into my head."
Chuck: raises his glass and nods to him
Nate: looks back at Serena and looks deep into her eyes as he squeezes her hand "And last, but absolutely not least. Serena, thank you for being the person you are and making me the happiest man alive by becoming my wife. I love you so much!" smiles
As the guests applauded Nate's speech Serena got up and kissed him with a lot of passion. They didn't break apart before Chuck cleared his throat to remain them of where they were.
Serena: smiles "I love you to Natie"
