Better with The Wedding

Holland Roden was standing in front of the Ocean View Room's door, where Nina was getting ready. Ian had already left the room, so he couldn't see her with the dress and all the stuff. Holland knocked on the door. "Neens?"

Nina stood up and opened the door. "Holls, come in." She smiled at her friend.

"Good morning! Look at how I dressed up Noah." Holland giggled and showed the little boy, who was dressed in a black tuxedo and a bow tie.

"Aww! He's so cute!" Nina laughed and played with his tiny hand.

"Yes! I wanna eat him!" Holland laughed as well. "I became a mum last night, he didn't stop crying. Now I'm gonna grab a tea. And where are you going?"

"I'm going at room 117 to get my hair done. Come over later if you want." Nina smiled.

"Okay Neens! You will be very beautiful! I will see you!"

Meanwhile...

"You won't drink, Ian." Kevin repeated, while pouring a drink for himself.

"Just a little."

"No, Ian. You really don't have to. Sorry."

"I won't get drunk, I promise."

"Let's not risk." Kevin laughed.

"Okay, you won't drink too then." Ian laughed.

"No way." Kevin took a sip from the glass.

"Do you have the rings?"

Kevin swallowed nervously and looked at Ian. "I will tell you honestly. I don't know where are they."

"What? How?" Ian asked shocked.

"They disappeared."

Ian was just about to freak out even more when Ernesto entered the room, playing with the rings. "Hey yo."

"There they are." Ian sighed of relief.

"I'm not gonna put you back on the show, Matt." Kevin laughed.

Meanwhile...

It was already lunch time and Nina was at the room, getting ready. She already had her hair done, her nails and her makeup. Now just the dress and some
other important things were left.

Ashley entered the room and looked around. "Nina! Ooh!"

Nina turned around and smiled brightly at her friend. "Ashley, hey."

"My beautiful doll!"

Nina giggled and came closer to Ash. "On which side would it look better?" Nina turned around and showed her hair accessory. Her hair was tied up, not
released. And she had this beautiful accessory in her hair. She was beautiful.

"It's nice like that. Am I allowed to cry? Everyone cry at weddings." Ashley hugged Nina tight.

She hugged her back. "No, don't. If you cry I will cry."

"I can't." Ashley snuggled her. "My sweet Nina. Here." She pulled away and gave her a small, white box. "Something blue." Ashley smiled.

Nina opened the box and laughed. "Ashley." There was a garter with a tiny blue ribbon. It was cute.

"It's very nice." She giggled.

"Something new is on my head. The accessory."

Ashley took another box and opened it. She took out a knife from it, then laughed. "Something borrowed. It's for the cake."

"Thank you. So now I only need something old." Nina took off her clothes. "Help me with the dress."

Ashley gently took the dress and put it on Nina, without touching her hair.

"Look at my sexy underwear." Nina giggled and put on the garter on her leg. "Heyy!" She looked at the door opening.

Ashley helped her with the whole dress and smoothed it. "Ready. Hey." She turned around.

The little girl Duda was at the room already with a bridesmaid white dress. She was pretty cute. She was also carrying a basket, dressed in white, on which was written I+N and was full of little rosie petals and some wedding gifts.

Duda ran to Nina and hugged her, then jumped happily and excited. Her nanny Laura entered the room as well, carrying Nina's bouquet.

"Hey." The girls greeted her.

"Something old is from me." Laura smiled and tied a tiny, purple ribbon on Nina's bouquet. "You're so pretty."

"Thank you!" Nina smiled brightly.

She was standing in front of the mirror in her wedding dress, which was incredibly beautiful by the way, holding her bouquet, while Ashley was putting the veil on her hair.

"I'm gonna cry, I can't I'm not ready." Nina started sniffling.

"No! Don't, you will ruin your makeup." Ashley caressed her arm and hugged her.

Then Nina started crying.

"Nina, don't." Ashley caressed her back, pulled away and wiped away her tears. "I have to go with Ian and Kevin."

"Go." Nina whispered.

"Are you going to be fine?"

"Yes." Nina smiled a little.

Then Ashley smiled back at her and ran out of the room, going outside the hotel, there in the garden to all the guests and the beautiful seaside wedding
gazebo, where Ian was waiting with the priest and Kevin right beside him.

Ashley was the Maid of Honor so she had to stay right next to the Best Man. She ran to him and smiled at all the guests.

"Kevin, did you find the rings?" She whispered.

"Yes, Ashley, I did. I told you they are somewhere in here." Kevin smirked.

"No one is going to drink!" She warned.

Meanwhile...

"What am I supposed to do with this basket and flowers and gifts?" Duda asked cutely.

"You're going to walk right behind me and throw the gifts and petal on the ground." Nina smiled.

Then her dad, who she was waiting for so much finally appeared. "Are you ready my darling?"

"Yes, dad." Nina smiled at him and he linked his arm through hers.

Then they finally appeared. Nina was walking down the pathway, holding her bouquet with Konstantin next to her. The little blonde girl was walking behind her, throwing petals out from the white I+N basket.

Ian totally lost his breath when he saw Nina, his girl, walking to him in a beautiful wedding dress. She was so beautiful and he was so happy. That was all he ever wanted. Her. He wanted her forever by her side and that was what was going to happen. It was their wedding day and everything was perfect.

Nina was smiling brightly, so brightly that the glows in her eyes, which she lost when she lost the baby were finally back. She looked like the happiest woman
on earth with an amazing, beautiful smile.

Some people cried, others were just smiling like idiots.

Konstantin passed Nina to Ian and he grabbed her hand, smiling at her.

"Hey." She whispered with a smile.

"You're so beautiful."

"Thank you." She kept smiling.

"Dear family and friends, on behalf of Nikolina and Ian, I welcome you all for this marriage ceremony. We are here today to encourage, celebrate and support the covenant of these two people. They are going to make and to share in the joy that experience as they pledge their love and commitment to each other."

Nina grabbed Ian's hand tight.

"Ian, the woman who stands by your side is going to be your wife. Nikolina, the man who stands by your side is going to be your husband."

Everyone were focused and were listening carefully.

"Ian, since it is your intention to marry, join your right hands and declare your consent. Do you take Nikolina to be your lawful wedded wife to have and behold
from this day on, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live?"

"I do." Ian said clearly.

"Nikolina, do you take Ian to be your lawful wedded husband, to have and behold from this day on, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live?"

Nina smiled at Ian. "I do."

"Today Nikolina and Ian exchange these rings as confirmation of their vows to join their lives, to work at all times to create a life that is complete and unbroken and to love each other unconditionally."

"Kevin, the rings." Ashley whispered.

Kevin took out the rings from his pocket and gave it to them.

"Ian, take this ring and place it on your bride's finger, and state your pledge to her, repeating after me. With this ring I thee wed. I offer you my hand."

Ian placed the ring on Nina's finger and repeated. "With this ring I thee wed. I offer you my hand."

"And my heart as I know they will be safe with you."

"And my heart as I know they will be safe with you." Ian repeated.

Nina's hand and her whole body were shaky, as Ian was repeating the words and putting the ring on her finger.

"Nikolina, take this ring and place it on your groom's finger, and state your pledge to him, repeating after me. With this ring I thee wed. I offer you my hand."

Nina placed the ring on Ian's finger. "With this ring I thee wed. I offer you my hand."

"And my heart as I know they will be safe with you."

"And my heart as I know they will be safe with you." She repeated.

"You have given and pledged your promises to each other, and have declared your everlasting love by exchanging the rings. I now pronounce them husband and wife. You may kiss your bride."

Ian wrapped his hands around Nina and pulled her to him, kissing her. She kissed him back.

Everyone started to applaud and yell.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Somerhalder!"

Then Nina and Ian signed a document, everyone of their guests came to say congrats and hug them.

Then they, along with Ashley and Kevin went to the beach to take some photos, while the other guests were accommodated to their tables to eat, drink and dance.

The pictures were truly beautiful. There were some with Ashley and Kevin and some of just Nina and Ian. Him, holding her or kissing her.

"Do you like the dress?" Nina asked Ian, when they were walking back to the guests.

"Yes, you're really beautiful." He smiled.

"I cried before all that."

"Why?"

"I was scared." Nina giggled.

"But it wasn't that scary, right?" Ian laughed softly.

"I thought I was going to mess up everything."

"Me too."

Nina and Ian sat on the main table and took some bites of the delicacies and drank some champagne.

Kevin picked up his glass to get some attention. "Again, I want to welcome you at the wedding of Nina and Ian. For those who don't know me, I'm Kevin. The Best Man. I want to say again how beautiful the bride is." He laughed. "I wanna thank to the little girl and to the parents. From the moment I saw Nina, I knew she and Ian are perfect for each other. And now I'm gonna give an advice to Ian - if you want everything to be perfect don't forget those words 'you're right, honey.'" He laughed again. "We all wish you a long and a happy life together. Cheers to the new Mr. and Mrs. Somerhalder!" He took a sip from his glass.

"Thank you." Nina and Ian both said with a smile and took a few sips too.

Ashley then picked up her glass. "For those who don't know, I'm Ashley. I'm the Maid of Honor and Nina's best friend. I wanted to say what a honor is for me to be standing right here, on one of the most important days of her life. Nina, Ian? What can I say. I'm so, so happy you two found each other! I wish you all the best with all my heart in your life! To Nina and Ian!" Ashley drank from her glass.

"Thank you." Nina and Ian said again with smiles and drank as well.

The waiters started serving the food. It was from the Seafood Inspired Menu. Shrimp in some nice sauce. And the other ones dishes with sushi and seafood.

Nina and Ian started eating, just like all the guests.

Then suddenly Robert tapped his glass with a fork. Everyone turned and looked at him. "I would like to make a toast for my son and his amazing wife, Nikolina. I wish you long and happy family life. Love each other strong and passionate! And remember that there is no barriers your love can not pass."

Everyone smiled at the old man as he continues with his speech.

"Love and life are one fairytale with a common origin and winding ways. Because love is what gives us life! Love is boundless and endless."

Nina smiled, while listening to Robert, then she kissed Ian's cheek.

"Nikolina, I haven't seen Ian more happy since you showed up in his life. Once again, don't forget to love each other strongly. Welcome to the family, Nikolina! Cheers!" Robert picked up his glass and took a sip.

"Thank you." Nina and Ian said and everyone smiled and drank from their glasses.

I know that you don't know that I know what you know...

Suddenly the music for the first dance started playing and Nina and Ian got up and went to the dancing floor.

We've got secrets between us that nobody else would believe if we told them...

Ian wrapped his hands around Nina's waist and they started dancing lightly. She wrapped her hands around his neck.

So let the stars align and let the water make wine 'cause...

Some of the guest were taking pictures, some of them were just watching with a big smiles on their faces.

Ian pulled Nina closer to him and kept dancing with her.

Broken souls will become whole tonight, oh tonight we know it's right so...

Nina pulled Ian into a kiss, while they were dancing and he started kissing her back.

But then she pulled away. "I love you, Ian Somerhalder."

"I love you too, Nina Somerhalder." He smiled at her.

Lift your eyes and let me in 'cause baby I'm an alien like you...

Ian caught Nina's waist and spun her around. Ashley and Kevin were dancing a bit far from them too.

Would you ever wake at night and realize the reason why you knew me then...

"I want us to go." Nina giggled. "I can't wait for Belize."

"Yes me too. Where is the cake?" Ian asked, while dancing.

Is maybe I'm an alien too would you ever let me be an alien with you...

"There it is." Nina smiled and pointed to the cake, when suddenly another song started playing.

I feel so close to you right now it's a force field...

Nina and Ian started dancing just like Damon and Elena on that song, so happy. The other guests joined them and danced to that song too.

I wear my heart upon my sleeve, like a big deal...

"Do you remember that scene?" Nina asked, while dancing.

"How could I forget?" Ian laughed and danced, putting his hands on Nina's butt.

Your love pours down on me, surrounds me like a waterfall...

Everyone kept jumping around and dancing and having fun.

And there's no stopping us right now I feel so close to you right now...

"Everyone sit down and watch the bride and groom cutting their first piece of the cake."

"Come on." Nina giggled and went to the cake with Ian.

He took the knife and she put her hand on his. Then they cut a piece of the cake. Nina took some of the piece with her hand and gently put it in Ian's mouth. He ate it and licked his lips. Then he put some of the piece and smashed it on Nina's face and in her mouth.

"Ian!" She laughed loudly.

He started licking the cake from her face. "Num." He pulled her into a kiss.

Everyone of the guests left their presents on the table, dedicated for presents and took pictures of Ian and Nina.

"I love you." Ian smiled at Nina.

"I love you, too." She smiled back. "Should I throw the bouquet already?"

"Yeah."

Nina took the bouquet from the table and stood with her back to all the unmarried ladies. She then pretend she's throwing the bouquet but didn't and laughed at all the girls. Then there was another shot. She threw her bouquet behind her back and Holland caught it.

"Oh my god Neens!" She jumped happily.

Nina turned around and laughed. "Holls, I think you're the next one."

"Neen, I can't believe it! I'm so happy! What a modern bouquet!" Holland giggled.

Everyone sat back at their places to eat of the cake. There were small cakes for the other guests. The dancing floor was crowded again when Ian was supposed to throw the garter to the unmarried men.

Ian picked Nina up and put her to sit on the table. She giggled and blushed. Then Ian lifted her dress lightly and Kevin grabbed his hands behind his back.

Ian put his head under Nina's dress and went up, bit the garter with his teeth and lowered it down her leg, then took it off fully. Nina kept laughing and blushing all happy.

Then he stood with his back to all the unmarried men and threw the garter.

It was flying and flying and suddenly found itself on Noah's head. Everyone turned to him and laughed loudly.

"Oh my god, are you getting married Noah?" Holland laughed, cuddling the little boy.

Everything was ready now and Nina and Ian were ready to leave for their honeymoon. All the guests were sending them away and congratulating them.

"We all know you're going to have sex tonight." Kevin said and then laughed.

"Are you excited, Kev because I am!" Ashley laughed as well and turned to Ian. "Tell Nina to write in her honeymoon diary, that is inside my present!"

"Okay, Ashley."

Ilaria, the stylist put the luggage in Nina and Ian's car.

"Have a nice trip! Congratulations! We're so happy for you!" Everyone repeated that at least three times and Nina and Ian thanked them, getting into their car.

Everyone waved at them and they waved back. Then their driver drove them to the airport and they took a private flight.

Their honeymoon at Royal Belize was just about to start.

Was it worth it to see her smile? To make her dream night come true? :')
