4 years later…

The day was finally here I stood in front of the mirror and smiled. I lifted the dress and each side and span around, I was like a little kid I just couldn't stop smiling. My hair had taken at least two hours early this morning and it looked perfect. It was half up and half down with loose curls, Maria had done my make-up and I was so pleased with it. Rachel and Maria were stood behind me both giggling in their bridesmaid dresses, I turned to them and smiled it was finally my turn to get married.

During the last four years there had been two weddings, Maria and Dave had finally admitted that they were together, had a quick engagement and were married two years ago. They were so happy together and Maria even had a beautiful little boy running around, Chase looked so much like Dave it was unbelievable. Rachel and Dan got married last spring and loved married life together, they had been a couple since that night at the beach house ten years ago. Now it was my turn, John and I were finally getting married and I was so excited.

"You look beautiful." Maria smiled.

"Thank you." I replied.

"I'm so excited! I've waited so long for you two to get married." Rachel giggled.

"Me too, I mean you guys are perfect together." Maria said.

"Shut up guys, you're making me cry." I laughed.

"No, don't your make up will smudge and I'll have to do it again." Maria said.

"Okay, okay. Just don't say anything to make me cry." I smiled.

"So, you ready?" Rachel asked.

"Yeah." I said as Rachel handed me my bouquet. "I'm so nervous."

"Don't be, it's going to be amazing." Rachel said as we walked downstairs. We had been planning the wedding since just after Rachel and Dan's day and I was so happy it was here. After everything that had happened in the last ten years, John and I were finally going to be married.

Once we were outside the door I began to get really nervous, my heart was in my mouth as I saw my dad walk towards me. I knew this was it, this was the day I was going to get married to the man I've loved since I was fifteen. A smile came across my face as I remembered all the moments John and I had spent together, there was so much to think about. Throughout the past four years I had been helping John regain some of his memories, he had remembered most of the important times of the year he lost but he didn't remember all the little things. I never expected him to remember anything so I was happy some things were coming back to him.

"You ready baby girl?" My dad smiled.

"Yes." I smiled as I saw Randy walk towards me, just behind him was a small figure running behind. I crouched down and smiled as the figure wrapped her arms around me.

"Mommy Randy said I get to walk down the, the—"

"Aisle?" I smiled.

"Yeah that thingy. Do I get to?" She jumped up and down.

"Yes of course, Randy will walk down there with you and everyone will look at your pretty dress." I said as I pulled her into my arms.

"Yay!" She yelled as she ran over towards Randy and grabbed his hand. Everyone was ready as we lined up to walk down the aisle. I had two bridesmaids and John had two groomsman. Randy and John had been getting along so well now they were best friends again, so he had to be his best man along with Dan. I watched as Randy held the little girls hand and smiled she was so excited about today even though she was only three years old.

"You ready to go Peyton?" Randy asked the little girl.

"Mommy can we start walking?" She turned towards me.

"Yes go ahead." I said. I smiled as I watched John and I's daughter walk down the aisle hand in hand with Randy, she looked so beautiful. Peyton was three years old now and seeing her grow up so fast was unbelievable. John was such a great father to her and she was such a daddy's girl, John spent all his time out of the ring with us he didn't want to miss anything.

Soon it was my turn my father and I stepped forward and everyone turned towards us. I smiled as we began to walk down the aisle, I could see John standing on alter waiting for me and he was grinning as he talked to Dan. Once I reached John my dad kissed me on the cheek and put my hand in John's, we both smiled as we waited for the ceremony to start.

"Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to join this women and this man in holy matrimony." And the ceremony had begun this was it John and I were finally getting married.

WEDDING

When it came to the vows John interrupted.

"I actually have my own vows if you don't mind." John smiled.

"You wrote your own? John I don't have anything prepared." I said.

"Its fine, I wanted to." John said as he grabbed my hand. "Charlotte we've been through so much since our early days in high school, and ever since our very first date I've known that one day we would be standing here. I've been in love with you since I met you and that day when you came back into my life was the best day of my life, although I don't remember it exactly I know how happy I must have been. When our daughter Peyton was born I was full with excitement and joy I don't think I can describe how amazing that day was. I'm so happy that were finally getting married and I can't wait to spend the rest of our lives together bringing up our beautiful baby girl. I love you Charlotte, always and forever baby." I could feel a tear starting to roll down my cheek, what John had said was beautiful and I felt so bad for not having my own vows prepared.

"That was beautiful, can I say something." I smiled.

"You don't have to." John said.

"I want to." I said. "Okay so I'm going to just wing this but here goes. John I've imagined this day a million times but nothing compares to actually standing here with you. I remember how perfect our first date was and how ever since that day I've been falling more and more in love with you. That day when we finally saw each other again was a day I never prepared for and it was a great moment. When our beautiful daughter was born I was so happy she is an amazing little girl and I love watching her grow up with you. I just can't wait for us to spend the rest of our lives together as a family. I love you John, always and forever."

After we had put the rings on it was now the end of the ceremony, Peyton was getting impatient tugging on Randy's suit throughout the ceremony asking when it would be over. She had given the guests a few laughs by dancing around during the boring parts.

"I may now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride." John leaned towards me and grabbed my waist pulling me closer towards him I smiled as he put his lips to mine. The guests began to clap and cheer as we were now married after all this time I could call John my husband. John called Peyton over and she ran towards John with her hands in the air, he quickly scooped her up and I smiled as she kissed him on the cheek.

"So mommy and daddy are married now?" Peyton giggled.

"Yup." John said as he gave her a little squeeze.

"So we can go home now?" Peyton asked.

"Well were having a party first to celebrate." I smiled.

"Is my best friend coming? Peyton smiled.

"Yes Chase is coming." John laughed. "Now look Randy is going to take you to the party so we'll see you there!"

"Sweet." Peyton giggled as she ran over towards Randy. Chase and Peyton were around the same age, Chase being born just months after her. It was quite a shock since no one really knew about Maria and Dave ever being together.

John grabbed my hand and we started to walk towards the car, I couldn't believe this was actually happening. My whole family was here, even my brother had managed to squeeze a few days out of his busy schedule to see his baby sister get married I hadn't seen him since the day I left. I smiled as we climbed into the car and headed towards the reception.

"So how does it feel Mrs. Cena?" John smiled.

"Amazing." I giggled. "And you Mr. Cena?"

"Best day of my life." John said as he leant in and kissed me.

"Mine too." I smiled.

"The reception is going to be great!" John laughed.

"Oh I know." I said.

"You know I never thought this day would come." John replied.

"You didn't?" I asked.

"Well I didn't think you would ever come back to me." John said.

"You'll have to thank Randy for that one." I laughed.

"Remind me to later." John smirked as he pulled me closer to him and kissed me. I still got butterflies just like the first time we kissed, he brushed his fingers along my arm giving me goose bumps.

We arrived at the reception to see hundreds of people packed into the room all smiling and dancing around, John and I walked into the room hand in hand. I could see my brother standing next to my parents ahead of us, I couldn't wait to give him a huge hug.

"We have to go see my brother!" I said to John.

"Sure, where is he?" John asked.

"Over here." I said as I pulled John over towards him.

"Imagine, my little sister getting married to John Cena." Ryan smiled.

"Ryan I've missed you!" I said as I wrapped my arms around him.

"I've missed you too sis." Ryan laughed. "Hey John how's it going?"

"Good." John replied. "I haven't seen you in forever."

"I know it's been too long." Ryan said.

Suddenly John grabbed my hand and spun me around, pulling me into his arms. I stumbled and followed him into the middle of the dance floor as the crowd parted. It was time for our first dance, I had been so excited for this part since I had started planning this wedding. Every little girl dreams of her first dance and now mine was with the perfect guy, to the perfect song.

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing,
Watch you smile while you are sleeping,
While you're far away and dreaming,
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender,
I could stay lost in this moment forever,
Well, every moment spent with you,
Is a moment I treasure.

I don't wanna close my eyes,
I don't wanna fall asleep,
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing,
'Cause even when I dream of you,
The sweetest dream would never do,
I'd still miss you, baby,
And I don't wanna miss a thing.

John held my waist tightly as we twirled around in the middle of the dance floor everything was perfect, the wedding, our life and our little daughter I could see dancing with Randy across from us. My life was finally the way I had always wanted it to be and I couldn't find words to describe how happy I actually was. I could feel tears brewing up inside me, John could tell and he giggled as I tried to hold them in.

"Don't cry, you're supposed to be happy today!" John laughed.

"John I am, I'm beyond happy." I smiled.

"Good, just don't cry." John said.

"Okay, I'm sorry it's just hard not to when everything has turned out so perfectly." I grinned.

"I know, can you believe that's our little girl over there." John sighed.

"She's an amazing girl." I smiled.

"Just like her mother." John said as he spun me around.

"But she has her father's eyes." I said as I rested my head on John's shoulder.

"Well I had to give her something." He laughed.

When the song was over everyone sat down at their tables to eat, I was so hungry I hadn't eaten since 7am. John and I sat down at the head table along with the bridesmaids, groomsmen and Peyton she looked so cute in her little dress.

During the meal Randy stood up to give his best man speech, and I had been waiting all night for this part. Randy had promised to give the most memorable speech ever and Randy was never one to disappoint, once all the guests were listening Randy began.

"John and I have been friends for about eight years now and he's honestly been the best friend I've ever had. When I first met him he would constantly talk about this girl that he dated in high school and how in love with her he was. At first I didn't believe him, but after bringing Charlotte back into his life, I saw how in love both of them still were. Although I cared for Charlotte a lot I knew that no one could stand between a love like that. If you know them personally you would see how in love these two truly are and they could make anyone believe in true love. And if you've met this little girl here you would see they have a beautiful little girl together. Charlotte and John are my best friends and I couldn't imagine a more perfect couple, I'm so happy both of you finally got married. I just want to take the time to thank everyone that helped out the wedding and to the bridesmaids who both look beautiful today as does the bride. So if everyone could join me in a toast." The whole room lifted their glasses. "To true love. Cheers!" Randy sat back down to a standing ovation his speech was beautiful, this would be the third time I've been close to crying today. John leant over and patted Randy on the back and thanked him for his wonderful speech, I think even John had tears in his eyes.

Soon it was time for John and I to leave, it had been an incredible day but it was getting late nearly 3am now and Peyton was falling asleep on Randy's lap. John and I walked around the room and said our goodbyes to everyone most of the party had left by now but as usual Paul was still dancing away in the middle of the dance floor with Stephanie. We walked over to Randy and John scooped Peyton up into his arms, she was out cold. I wasn't surprised she had been dancing with everyone all night, and talking none stop she was full of energy.

"I just want to say thank you for that beautiful speech you made earlier." I said as I leant over and gave Randy a hug. "And for looking after Peyton all day."

"No problem you guys deserve it." Randy smiled.

"Thank you so much man!" John said.

"No problem." Randy said. "I'll see you guys later."

When we reached the car John slowly placed Peyton into her car seat being extra careful to not wake her up. I jumped in beside her as John climbed into the driver's seat and began to drive us back to the house. Once we were home I carried Peyton up to her room and lay her down on the bed, I lightly pulled the blankets over her and tucked her in. I leant forward and kissed her softly on the forehead, John grabbed me from behind and we both gazed at our beautiful little daughter.

"She's amazing right?" I asked.

"Perfect." John whispered in my ear.

"Just like her father then." I smiled as John turned me around towards him, he had a huge grin on his face that hadn't moved since I first saw him today. Suddenly he picked me up and started to carry me towards our bedroom. John swung open the door to reveal our room covered in red and white roses with candles everywhere.

"This is amazing. When did you have time to do this?" I smiled as John put me down on the bed.

"I did the roses this morning and I had Rachel sneak over during the reception to fix the candles and stuff." John said as he lay down next to me.

"It's just—"

"I wanted to make it like our first time, minus the next morning." John laughed.

"Yeah let's forget that day ever happened." I giggled.

"What day?" John replied. I burst into a fit of laughter as I rolled over onto John.

John slowly began to slowly unzip my dress and this was it, after ten years John and I were married everything was perfect. Our beautiful baby girl was fast asleep in the next room and John and I were about to make our marriage official. I had never been so happy in my life and I was so excited to spend the rest of my life with the man I loved.

"I love you John Cena." I smiled.

"I love you too Charlotte Cena, always and forever."

THE END.
