Young Olicity AU where they're dating and they go to Vegas with Tommy and end up getting married - youbroughtmeacronut
This was such a cliché, she had never thought she would be one of those brides, never thought she'd be getting married in a chapel on the Vegas strip. She sighed slightly glancing around the big city around her, as much as she wanted to marry Oliver. This just didn't feel right. She didn't want a rushed wedding by an Elvis Impersonator, but Oliver and Tommy had said they'd take care of the impromptu wedding.
Tommy had dragged them both to Vegas for a weekend of fun. They'd been dating for over a year now, known each other for a lot longer. But between her and Oliver running QI, plus their night activities saving the city, they rarely got time away. So they jumped at the chance because one thing's for certain Tommy knew how to have a good time.
They had partied, seen various shows, multiple casinos, all in a day and half. What she wasn't expecting was Oliver to pop the question lay in bed the second morning there. But she couldn't say no, he looked so vulnerable, so gorgeous as he walked in holding a tray of breakfast for her. Then she surprised herself when she said yes and that she would happily marry him there and then, which he actually agreed too.
Now here she was in the middle of a bridal shop choosing a dress, scarily leaving the rest up to the boys. She had tried on nearly every dress in the shop but they all seemed too big, too in your face, she wanted something simple, something elegant. But everything made her bum look even bigger, her breasts even smaller, some had too many ruffles and others just seemed too plain.
She sighed taking her glasses off rubbing her temples. She was marrying the man she loved today, the man of her dreams, well he wasn't exactly but he had been for the last 4 years anyway. But nothing else mattered they could get married in bin liners stood in a dumpster as long as it was Oliver she was promising to share her life with. She took a deep breath grounding herself, it didn't need to be perfect or organised, it just needed to be him and her. That was it, the two of them agreeing to be a part of each other's lives, man and wife. That's when she saw it, the perfect dress.
It was late afternoon as she applied the final touches of polish to her toe nails; she had chosen a deep red. She was sat in her robe, her hair drying naturally when there was a tap on her door. She sighed walking slowly to the door pulling it open. Her mouth fell open when Oliver was there on one knee, a small box in hand.
"I know it's a little late now but Felicity Meghan Smoak, will you do me the greatest honour of sharing the rest of your life with me?" She actually had to stop the tears falling, as she looked at him. His eyes full of a whirlwind of emotion. He slowly pulled the box open to reveal a silver banded ring, a single simple diamond at the centre. "Don't leave a guy hanging..." He joked and she saw the hint of fear there. She leant down her hands wrapping around his head as she kissed him.
"Yes, always." She whispered against his lips. Then he was standing up their lips still together as his arms wrapped around her. They pulled apart slowly, both staring into the others eyes. "The ring?" She asked and he pulled back then. He held it up for her to see before he slipped it onto her ring finger with ease. It was oddly the perfect fit.
"Of course it was I know you remember, just like you know me." She gave him a heartfelt smile, feeling completely and utterly consumed by love.
"Well I hope you and Tommy chose a nice chapel." His eyes sparkled at her words.
"Oh you have no idea." He winked, and then suddenly he went serious. "You don't have to do this you know? It's entirely your choice." She ran a hand over his furrowed brow.
"I'll admit getting married in my hometown, in a cheesy chapel on the strip wasn't exactly how I pictured it..." His head dropped slightly and she cupped his cheek bringing his eyes back up to hers. "But my love, our love is more important to me than where we get married... You and I, Oliver... That's all I want." His eyes shone as he ever so tenderly kissed her.
"Well then I best leave you to get ready, Tommy will be here to pick you up in a couple of hours."
"Oh will he?" She teased.
"Yep, he's been a great best man." She smiled softly.
"Good I'm glad you guys still have each other, I'm glad you managed to save him. I just wish Dig was here too." His eyes shone as he smiled at her before stepping away.
"I'll see you at the chapel." He said walking down the corridor. She watched him go realising she couldn't wait for her future with him to begin.
It had been 2 hours, her hair was cascading around her shoulders in lose curls; she had applied her makeup keeping it simple apart from her fuchsia lipstick, her glasses traded for contacts. She smiled looking at herself in the mirror; her dress was simple and white. She had a jewelled band around the middle, pulling in slightly before it flowed over hips, and stopped just before her knees. She was wearing strappy heels, deep red to match her nails. She smiled softly, as her engagement ring glistened in the light. She was about to get married, and every part of her was screaming that she should be nervous, should be petrified but she wasn't. She was happy; she was ready to spend the rest of her life beside Oliver Queen. Just then the door opened and in stepped Tommy, his hands over his eyes.
"I hope you're decent I don't wanna see my best friend's bride naked." She chuckled, as she stepped up to him placing a hand on his shoulder. He was wearing a burgundy suit with black lapels and tie. Slowly he lowered his gaze taking her whole outfit in.
"Damn Smoak you are smoking! Pun intended." He winked playfully. She laughed shaking her head.
"And you Merlyn look magical." The laugh literally erupted from his chest, as he shook his head a smile spreading across his face.
"Felicity seriously you have changed Oliver's life, and mine. So the only magic I want to wield today is for you to have the wedding you deserve." She stared into his eyes, fighting back the tears.
"Stop it Tommy! I'm not even getting married yet and I don't want to cry now! You'll ruin my make up saying things like that." He shrugged.
"You might not like me for this..." He pulled out a piece of dark red fabric.
"You're going to blind fold me aren't you?"
"Yes... It's all one big surprise." She shook her head lightly still smiling.
"Fine but if you ruin my hair or make up I will kill you." She joked.
"I wouldn't dream of it." He winked as he slipped the blind fold over her head tying it. He linked his arm with hers leading her out the room. They travelled in silence, she was expecting to get in the elevator, go to the lobby and then drive to the little chapel they had select. Hence she was so confused when they didn't go all the way to the lobby and he stopped them outside a room, in the same hotel.
"Where the hell are we going?"
"Just wait."
Slowly the blind fold was removed from her eyes; she blinked a few times before she focused. Her mouth fell open when a tuxedo wearing Dig stood there with an easy smile.
"John what are you doing here? Where are we? What?" Her mind was running wild. Dig and Tommy exchanged a look, before chuckling.
"I should get back to my best man duties, good luck." He turned to Felicity giving her a quick peck on the cheek.
"I... What? We're getting married in the Bellagio, not is some chapel?" She turned her attention to Diggle who was smiling at her.
"As if I would ever miss your wedding. You two are family now, and even through all the ups and downs I've always wanted you to be happy." She fought the tears once more, trying to blink them away.
"Would... Would you give me away?" She saw his eyes glistening with tears; saw the joy radiating from his body.
"Of course I'd be honoured..." She stepped forward wrapping her arms around him.
"Thank you for everything John; you have been my rock, mine and his." He squeezed her gently before he pulled back.
"Talking of him, he forgot to give you this earlier." He pulled out a box, placing it in her hands. She opened it slowly, inside was a beautiful silver necklace with a silver pendant. It was in the shape of an arrowhead, just like the ones that Oliver made.
"It's... He..."
"He made it; apparently it's another skill we didn't know he had learnt whilst away." He teased, and she chuckled.
"Would you mind?" She asked holding the jewellery up to him.
"Of course not." He slipped it around her neck, closing the clasp, it landed perfectly on her chest the cut of the dress making it stand out. "Oh and here is your bouquet." He handed her a small posy of red and white roses.
"How did he know about the red?" She asked out loud.
"Oh you haven't seen anything yet." He held out his arm for her and she linked it as the wedding marched started to play.
"I guess that's our cue."
Diggle lead the way through the arched doorway, and Felicity's breath hitched. The room was beautiful, Tuscan design, decorated in shades of red and white. A large marble staircase lead to a terrace where Oliver was stood watching her. As she descended the stairs clutching Diggle so he didn't fall, she couldn't stop the tears.
The view was of the Bellagio fountains and lake; it was beautiful in the early evening sunset but what was more astonishing: all their family and friends were there, Roy, Thea, Laurel, Tommy, Connor, Sara, Nyssa, Lyla, baby Sara, her mother, Barry, Iris, Caitlin, Ronnie, Cisco and stood beside Oliver was Captain Lance.
Her heart swelled, the man she loved had known her so well, had known she didn't want the typical Vegas wedding and he got everyone involved. She smiled at every single person, their faces stained with tears too as she finally looked at Oliver. He was wearing a black tuxedo, a deep red matching tie and waistcoat with an elegant design weaved onto them. His smile was the widest she'd ever seen his dimples showing but he had tears in his eyes, they sparkled with love and admiration. Diggle pecked her on the cheek taking her posy leaving her stood beside Oliver, as he turned to stand next to his wife and daughter.
"Hey. You look stunning." He whispered.
"Hi." She replied turning to face him, as Lance looked between them. "I can't believe you did all this."
"Well I wanted all your dreams to come true." She sighed at him before they both glanced at Lance.
"I'm here to officiate the wedding between this unlikely partnership." The crowd chuckled. "Seriously I have seen you turn from reckless teenager, to a trouble young man, into something else and now the man that stands before us. I can without any doubt tell you that, a big part of that change was down to the lady stood beside you." He nodded along. "Now, this might have all been a little last minute so I couldn't prepare properly but you two deserve each other. So now for your vows." He nodded at Oliver who glanced at Felicity.
"I'm not always good with words, I'm better with my actions. I find it easier to show you how much I love you, with small gestures... and big." He winked and the crowd laughed. "With simple touches, small things to show you, you're a part of my soul now. But here's the thing I was an idiot thinking that I couldn't have a life with you. I was so wrong... What I have now actually realised is I have no life without you in it Felicity." His hand took hers entwining their fingers. "You brought the light back into my life, your belief in me always astonishes me. You constantly have the words to ground me, to make me know what to do and you have saved me." Her mind wandered back to her flying the atom suit. "You have saved my life over and over since the day I met you. You are the only person I want a future with, a life with and from this day I want us to do it all... When you said yes to my proposal and marrying, I was the happiest man alive. But I was wrong; I am the happiest man right now, just having you in my life." Her heart swelled as he stared into her eyes the tears running down her cheeks. His hand came up to her face cupping it, wiping the tears away.
"Well... I haven't prepared for this. Someone forgot to tell me about this." Oliver's hand fell from her face.
"Oops..." The group chuckled as did Felicity.
"You keep saying I brought this light into your life, but that's the reason I fell for you Oliver, because you have always had a light inside of you. After... after everything that happened to you, you still held on to your humanity... And when you finally made that decision to live your life, well that's when you made me the happiest woman alive. I still can't believe you chose me, still can't believe what we've been through but you saved me Oliver. You have made my life a million times better than I thought possible. You are my world now, look at this place. You did all this for me, for us. There is not a day, I don't thank whoever it is out there for bringing you into my life, for wanting me, for loving me, because Oliver Queen I love you with all my heart." Silence fell around them as a tear ran down Oliver's cheek and he hastily wiped it away.
"Well do we have the rings?" Lance asked.
"Here you go." Tommy stepped forward pulling two silver bands out his pocket into Lance's hand, before taking his place back at the side of Laurel, who he pecked lightly on the cheek.
"So do you Oliver Jonas Queen take Felicity Meghan Smoak to be your lawfully wedded wife?" Oliver smiled broad pushing the ring down her finger to join the engagement ring.
"I do." He said loud and clear.
"Do you Felicity Meghan Smoak take Oliver Jonas Queen to be your lawfully wedded husband?" She took the ring slowly pushing it onto his finger letting her hand linger there.
"I do."
"Well then I now pronounce you husband and wife." The group whooped and cheered.
"Kiss!" They shouted loudly. Oliver's hands slipped to her face cupping her gently as their lips brushed against each other. Her hands fell to his wrists feeling his pulse beating wildly under her fingertips. The crowd covered them with confetti and rose petals. Oliver's finger rubbed against her industrial piercing, he pulled away running his finger along it before glancing at it. There was a dark green arrow shaped industrial bar in place of her usual one, he grinned even wider then.
"Just for you." She whispered before letting go of him, his hands slipped from her face. "Thank you for this." She gestured to the chain around her neck.
"I wanted to make you something special."
"Well its perfect and I can't believe you did all this just for me, you got everyone here." He wrapped his arms around her as the fountains behind them came to life in the darkening sky. Their beauty was outstanding, as he ran his hand up and down her back surrounded by the people they loved.
"There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you. Remember Felicity you'll always be my girl." He kissed her on her forehead.
She grabbed his hand entwining their fingers, both their rings standing out against the lights. They stared at them both a little in disbelief at where their lives had lead them, both still shocked they had found the other half of their soul in the other. But here surrounded by everything that made their lives theirs, made life precious to them, they weren't shocked at all. Just blissfully happy.
