After Oliver and William returned to the others and got changed, Oliver and John were standing on the platform with Slade and William (who was acting as the ring bearer) standing on Oliver's left and Felicity standing by the computers and Thea, Curtis, Rene and Ray all sat in the main area.
"Are we ready?" Felicity called over to the changing area.
"Yep, start the music." Sara called and Felicity nodded as she pressed a button on the computers and the wedding march began to play through speakers as Felicity went to take her seat next to Thea as Sara, who was actually wearing the same bridesmaid dress she'd worn in the Dominator's fantasy last year, carrying a bouquet of flowers as she reached the platform.
Then Laurel approached them, wearing a bright white wedding dress in arms with his father.
After Oliver took Laurel's arm from her father, he went to take his seat as Felicity pulled out her remote and turned off the music as John began.
"We are gathered here today to witness the long awaited and in some people's opinion, overdue, nuptials of Oliver Jonas Queen and Dinah Laurel Lance. For those of you who do not know the history between these two souls, allow me to elaborate. These 2 are what some people might believe to be soulmates. They've known each other since they were kids, started out as friends and then had what I believe is the definition of a complicated romantic relationship," John said and Sara and Thea especially laughed, "and despite everything that came between you, hardships, losses, other people," Felicity looked slightly uncomfortable at that, "but eventually, they found their back together and here we are today. But now, I must ask, is there anyone here who sees a reason as to why these 2 should not be wed." John said.
When no one responded, John said "So, have you 2 written vows or should we just do the typical stuff."
"I tried to write my vows, but I realized that I just couldn't write down my thoughts and that I should take some advice I gave Barry and just speak from my heart, so that's what I'm going to do." Oliver said as he turned to his almost wife.
"Laurel, while I wasn't always the best at showing it, I think I've loved you since the day I met you. You already know that I kept a picture of you with me at all times during my five years away, but what you don't know is that you were the only thing that kept me moving at times, you are the reason I survived. Not because I had to come home to right my father's wrongs, despite what I told myself, I survived so I could come home to you. I never stopped loving you. The only reason I didn't pursue you sooner was because I was trying to honor your wishes. And also, I didn't feel like I deserved you. But for some reason, you decided to take me back and I could not be happier for that. You are the love of my life and I will not make the same mistake I did years ago. I promise that I will always love you and treat you like you are the most important thing in the world to me, because that is exactly what you are, my pretty bird. I can't say that I can't live my life without you because I have and I don't ever want to lose you again. You are the only person I love more than my son, and he loves you almost as I do. I promise to always be a loving and committed husband to you." Oliver said and Laurel smiled as she pulled out the paper she'd written her own vows on.
"Oliver, when it comes to you, I'm pretty sure I've felt every emotion there is. Happiness, sadness, anger, a whole lot of anger, grief, pain. But the one emotion I've always found myself coming back to one emotion in particular. Love. No matter how mad I got you, and trust me, I've been pretty mad at you before, I could never stop loving you. No matter what you did or how many times you did it, I could never stop loving you, no matter how hard I tried, and I tried pretty hard several times. And, I've been waiting for this day ever since we first fell in love and honestly, now that it's finally here, it was well worth the wait. I love you and I promise to always be a loving and committed wife to you." Laurel said.
"William, will you present the rings." John said and William nodded and handed them the rings and the 2 took the rings and placed the rings on each other's fingers.
"Oliver Jonas Queen, do you take Dinah Laurel to be your lawfully wedded wife?" John asked.
"I do." Oliver said.
"And do you, Dinah Laurel Lance, take Oliver Jonas Queen to be your lawfully wedded husband?" John asked.
"I do." Laurel said.
"Then, by the power vested in me, I hereby finally pronounce you husband and wife. Please, kiss your bride." John said as Oliver smiled as he kissed his new wife passionately.
"May finally introduce to you all, Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Queen." John said as the others clapped.
"So Thea, you really don't mind watching William while we're on our honeymoon in Corto Maltese?" Oliver asked, since Raisa was on vacation.
"Are you kidding, I can't wait to have my nephew for a month, which will also give me time to plan your wedding reception for when you get back." Thea said.
"Great, thanks Speedy." Oliver said as Laurel walked up to them and they hugged.
"So, welcome to the family officially Laurel. You keep my brother in line." Thea said.
"If I can't, you can." Laurel said as she hugged her sister-in-law.
"Okay, enough, you 2 will have plenty of time to gang up on me after we get back from our honeymoon." Oliver said with a smile to the 2 special girls in his life.
"So, how are things with you and William?" Laurel asked of her new stepson.
"Good, I think he might've actually accepted my life as the Green Arrow." Oliver said.
"Great." Thea said as Oliver's phone buzzed.
"That is our pilot at the airfield, we need to get going, we'll see you guys in a month." Oliver said as he and Laurel headed out for their honeymoon.
