happily ever after.

Rhydian hated suits and Maddy hated dresses so their wedding was never going to be exactly conventional Emma had managed to convince Maddy to buy a knee length ivory dress, and Daniel had managed to get Rhydian into a nice shirt and tie, although he almost had to strangle him with the tie to do so.

Neither of them wanted a big, white church wedding, so they booked a registry office for mid July. They had spent months arguing over the afters, and eventually they had decided on the Smith's garden. They didn't want to make a fuss, but that didn't stop Emma from hiring a gazebo and a caterer and making a cake.

The fifteenth of July came around, and they got married in a registry office, a handful of people crowded into the small room as the registrar went through the motions, rings were exchanged they were the officially Mr and Mrs Morris.

Their handful of guests shuffled out of the office, throwing confetti at the newly married couple, much to the registry office cleaner's chagrin. But it was perfect. It was simple, and it was perfect, and it was Maddy and Rhydian.

"Shall dad drive you back to the house?" Emma inquired.

"No." Maddy shook her head, looking at Rhydian who nodded his agreement. "We're going to go through the woods." She said quietly, so the Vaughans wouldn't hear.

Rhydian's adoptive parents, however lovely they were, didn't know about their little secret. To them, Rhydian was the troubled foster kid they'd gotten eight years ago and fallen in love with. They had adopted him, officially before his seventeenth birthday.

"Alright." Emma said. "Don't be too long. There's a cake waiting for you that needs to be cut."

"Thanks mam." Maddy smiled. "For everything."

"Yeah Mrs Smith, thanks."

"Rhydian," Emma laughed. "I think you can call me Emma now."

Rhydian smiled. "Thanks Emma."

"See you in a bit!" Maddy said, grabbing Rhydian's hand and pulling him toward the small country lane that led from the village, into the wood. As soon as they were out of sight of their guests, they started to run.

Maddy pulled her hair down from the carefully constructed up 'do her mam had put it in that morning, the soft curls falling around her face as she ran. "Thank god for that," She said. "It was starting to kill my head."

"It looked nice though." Rhydian offered, running a hand through his own hair, messing it up.

"Yeah, but it wasn't very me." Maddy said. "I feel a bit silly."

"You look amazing Maddy." Rhydian said, tugging his tie open, pulling it off. "I look silly. I feel like I'm back in school." He stuffed the tie into his pocket, making a mental note to give it back to Daniel.

"None of that really matters though." Maddy said as they hit the clearing, the place they spent so much of their time. She slowed down, looking at Rhydian with a grin. "Because we're actually married now."

"I know." Rhydian said. "Its mad. We've been talking about it for so long and now its actually happened. You're Maddy Morris."

"Mm." Maddy put her arms around his shoulders. "I could get used to that."

"Me too," Rhydian grinned, kissing her lightly before he continued. "Mrs Morris."

"That's going to take some getting used to." Maddy said, her tone one of wonder. "I'm someone's wife now."

"I'm someones husband." Rhydian said. "That's.. mental."

"Good mental?"

"Brilliantly mental." Rhydian said. "I don't think I've ever been this happy before."

"Me neither." Maddy said. "This is the start of forever for us."

"Sounds pretty good Mrs Morris." Rhydian said, kissing her again, this time a little more fiercely. Maddy melted into his embrace, feeling so completely content it almost scared her. Everything had worked out perfectly.

They hadn't had the easiest of roads to get where they were right there and then- there was those terrified few weeks when Rhydian had disappeared with Ceri and his brother, and those even worse few weeks when they were eighteen, when they had broken up and it felt like her entire world had come to a standstill.

But it had all worked out in the end. Here she was, standing in the middle of her favourite place in the entire world, kissing her husband like he was the only thing keeping her alive. There was a garden full of their closest friends and family waiting for them three miles through the woods, waiting to celebrate them starting their lives together.

Their wedding hadn't been typical, Maddy had never dreamed of being a princess for a day. She had only ever wanted the love of her life standing next to her, and a ring on her finger showing the world she was his for the rest of forever.

Maddy had never really thought about happy ever after's until she found hers, and now that she was married to Rhydian, she couldn't imagine anything ever being awful again. She was under no illusions that marriage was easy, but as she looked at Rhydian, his lips swollen and his blonde hair a mess, his eyes sparkling as he beamed widely at her, she decided she didn't care.

Maddy had never loved anyone as much as she loved Rhydian Morris, and she could do anything if she was with him.

Author's Note; Sorry for not updating all week, school's kind of taken over my life. I'm in my final year, so my workload's a bit insane. Excuses excuses I know. I'm going to try and pre-write a few of these so I can update during the week.

This might be a little overly fluffy, so I apologise. Also, this is for KariMaud, who suggested this! (I'm writing your other suggestions, I promise!) Thank you for all the prompts, and the reviews; you're all exceptionally lovely!

As always, feedback is much appreciated.
