A/N: I'm SO sorry, it's been WAY too long and I'm so sorry. I hope you guys enjoy this story.

Ruthie couldn't believe they had actually gone through with it; sure they talked about but always in a joking tone. She never in a million years thought that they would go through with it. "Do you regret it?" She heard him ask and she didn't need to turn her head to see the concerned look on his face.

"Not in the least bit." She felt him smile his lips lightly pressing a kiss to the back of her head.

Flashback

Ruthie crashed on Martin's couch exhausted after the weekend they had spent with her parents. She could still hear her and Lucy going over wedding details and screaming their excitement over Ruthie and Martin getting married and to Ruthie she wasn't all that excited about it. She just wanted to get married to finally make Martin Brewer hers for life but at this rate it was going to take forever for them to get married.

Martin walked out of the bathroom in only his sweats and sat on the couch next to Ruthie letting her head rest in his lap. "What's wrong, babe?"

"Nothing." She sighed not really knowing for herself what was actually wrong.

"Come on, something's bothering you." He pressed his fingers running lightly through her hair.

"It's just that this wedding was supposed to be simple and they're making it over the top. I just wanna get married in the simplest practical way without all this over the top stuff."

"So let's call up your parents and go to Vegas or something." Ruthie turned her head so she was looking up at him shocked that he looked completely serious.

"Martin we can't do that."

"Why not?"

"I know how important it is for you to have your dad there and Mac and I want my family there too."

"Then we'll call up your parents and tell them that we just want to get married with our families and friends nothing more nothing less." Ruthie smiled nodding her head before the idea struck her. Sitting up she reached for her phone and began calling all her brothers and sisters inviting them home for the weekend but to not tell Eric or Annie. Martin looked at her wondering what she was doing when she ended her phone call with Matt. "Let me guess, you're gonna go home this weekend and have your dad marry us then?"
"Is that okay with you?" She asked hoping that he wouldn't get mad at her. Martin smiled and nodded his head lightly kissing her. Sighing into the kiss she moved into his arms loving the feeling of having Martin's strong arms around her making everything seem unimportant.

That Friday morning Ruthie had just gotten out of school and Martin was waiting there for her so they could make the trip down to the Camden's before the rest of her family showed up and ruined the surprise. Ruthie hugged Brooke and Maggie before getting into the car with Martin.

When Martin and Ruthie arrived at the Camden's they were happy to know that the others hadn't shown up yet. Grabbing Martin's hand Ruthie began to walk into the house hoping that her parents would support their decision to just get married now with a simple ceremony with just their family and close friends around, Ruthie had even taken the plunge and called the Cornel and Ruth something that was very hard for her to do but she wasn't surprised that they had already heard about Ruthie and Martin and although they didn't agree with the timing and how young they were they supported Ruthie's decision and would be joining the family in celebration.

Annie was sitting in the kitchen reading a book while the twins ate their snack when the door bell rang. Looking at Sam and David wondering if they knew who was at the door she shut her book and walked to the door swinging it open while also checking on Sam and David. "Ruthie! Martin! What are you doing here?"

"We wanted to talk to you and dad is he around?"

"No he's still at the church but come on in I'll call him and see if he can come home early." Both nodded and walked into the house each hugging either Sam or David. Ruthie looked at Martin looking for reassurance that they were doing the right thing who leaned over and kissed her cheek whispering, "We can do this" in her ear.

Eric walked in minutes later with Martin's dad Bill and now it was Martin's turn to get nervous because if his dad wasn't okay with him and Ruthie getting married now he didn't know what he was going to do. Ruthie smiled and squeezed his hand making Martin smile. "We can do this." She mouthed as their parents sat down across from them in the living room.

"So what's up?" Bill asked breaking the slight tension in the air.

"Well Martin and I were talking after we got back last weekend and we decided that a big wedding isn't really what we wanted, that maybe we wanted to get married with just our families and closest friends."

"Ruthie it's your wedding so whatever you want is fine." Annie replied smiling warmly at her daughter as the doorbell rang. Ruthie and Martin smiled at each other as Annie got up to get the door. Eric jumped to his feet when he heard Matt, Simon, and Mary's voices at the door and went to the door looking between Ruthie and the rest of his kids.

"What are you guys doing here?" Annie asked as she finished hugging all of her children and their significant others and children.

"Well Ruthie why don't you tell them?" Matt asked looking at his sister sitting in the living room.

"Martin and I were thinking that we could just get married this weekend instead of waiting for a big grandiose wedding plus Matt and Mary said that they were going to visit anyway so why not just do it now?" Eric and Annie looked at each other as if having a conversation with their eyes when the doorbell rang again. Matt noticed no one else getting up and went to answer the door shocked to see both his grandparents standing on the doorstep laughing about something.

"What are you guys doing here?" Annie asked noticing who was at the door and hugging her father and Ginger.

"Ruthie called us and asked us to visit this weekend." Ruth answered as she hugged Matt.

"You really took care of everything, didn't you?" Eric asked looking at his daughter that only had a smile on her face her hand still clinging onto Martin's.

"It's what we want dad and we thought that if we called everyone then maybe you would go along with it."

"Ruthie, all you had to do was call and talk to me."

"Well we didn't just call everyone down here for the wedding; we also did it in celebration of how well Ruthie's doing." Annie nodded thinking over the idea in her head.

"I think if you guys are ready to do this then I guess we have nothing to do but say yes." Eric replied earning a bone crushing hug from Ruthie. Martin looked over at his dad waiting for his reaction and grew nervous when his dad wouldn't look at him sighing Martin stood up and walked over to his dad.

"Can I talk to you?" Bill nodded and followed Martin into the kitchen and out into the backyard. "Are you okay with this?" Martin asked as soon as Bill shut the door behind him.

"Martin I'm okay with this if you're okay with this. Being married is a big step and you're so young but if you feel that you and Ruthie are ready for this then I'll stand behind 110."

"Dad, I love her with all of my heart and after everything that's happened the past couple of months I'm more than ready to be married." Bill nodded and hugged Martin.

"Well if you ever need anything do not hesitate to call just because you're getting married doesn't mean that your old man can't help out." Martin nodded glad that his dad was behind him. Both walked back into the house and Martin walked over to Ruthie and nodded silently letting her know that everything was okay. He looked around the room where all of Ruthie's family and their friends were mingling and hanging out just wanting tomorrow to come so they could get married.

The next morning Martin was banished to his dad's house along with his friends in a way of keeping up with tradition of not seeing each other until the wedding and Ruthie was whisked off to get everything for the wedding that would take place that afternoon. Matt, Simon, and Carlos were immediately at the Brewer door the moment they heard Ruthie leave. They wanted to make sure that Martin was aware of what would happen if he ever so much as unintentionally made Ruthie cry. Martin was amused when the "Camden Mob" showed up at the door and had to resist the urge to laugh as they went through their well planned out speech about hurting their baby sister and all that jazz.

"Well Martin I guess it's time that we let you get ready for the wedding and remember she loves you and she's always going to support you." Matt added as the three stood and left Martin to get ready for his wedding. Martin nodded in thanks and walked them to the door reassuring them that they had nothing to worry about.

Finally after what felt like eternity Martin was standing at the end of the aisle with Mac, Dominic, Austin, and Anthony stood to his left and Eric stood to his right beaming as they watched Lucy, Mary, and Brooke walked down the aisle and last Matt stood at the back of the church with Ruthie on his arm both sharing a smile before they walked down the aisle. As Martin watched her walk down the aisle his mind seemed to drift back over the past couple of months and he couldn't believe that they were finally going to get married, they were finally going to put everything behind them and start their lives together.

Ruthie finally made it down the aisle and stood in front of Martin a smile as wide as the Nile River displayed on her face and as she grabbed Martin's hands she felt a weight being lifted from her shoulders and the dark cloud completely vanishing from over her head. Her dad's words didn't register with her until she heard Martin say I do and her heart began to race and she took a deep breath before saying I do.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife, Martin you may kiss your bride." Martin let out the breath he didn't know he was holding and stepped closer to Ruthie lightly grabbing her face in his hands and gently kissed her. Pulling away he rested his forehead against hers the tears of happiness slipping from her eyes, "We did it." She laughed and pulled away grabbing his hand in her own as they began making their way down the aisle.

As soon as they were out of the church Martin pulled Ruthie into his arms and twirled her around. "We did it!" She exclaimed laughing as Martin twirled her around. "I can't believe it, we did it!" He laughed as she exclaimed again and soon they were joined by their friends and families. As they went back to the house for dinner Ruthie and Martin couldn't be separated, they were attached at the hip and that's just how they liked it.

Present Day

She still couldn't believe that they actually did it; she couldn't believe that her parents went along with it, that her family was okay with it, and that it had actually happened. Ruthie turned in bed and looked at Martin who was sleeping with a huge smile on his face the gold band on his ring finger catching Ruthie's attention. She smiled and moved closer to him gently laying her head on his chest and immediately his arm pulled her closer. She still couldn't believe it, she was finally Mrs. Ruthie Brewer.
