The morning of the wedding was one that Jac and Oliver would never forget. Oliver had stayed at Greg's the night before and Sacha, Daniel and Joseph had stayed too. Oliver had hardly slept last night, he just kept pacing the room, unable to rest.

Jac on the other hand, had slept right through. She was asleep upstairs, when she was awoken by a blinding light. She had to squint to adjust her eyes, but when they finally did, she found Connie stood beside her with a cup of coffee.

'Morning.' Said Connie brightly.

'What, why are you here?' Asked Jac as she rubbed her eyes.

'You're getting married today!' At that, Jac sat bolt upright.

'But, I need to get ready, where are the girls?' Said Jac as she clambered out of bed.

'Calm down, Sahira and Chrissie are giving the girls a bath. Go have a shower and come downstairs when you're ready.' Said Connie kindly.

'Okay.' Said Jac, taking a deep breath. 'Thank you.'

Meanwhile, at Greg's, Oliver was also panicking. Greg was trying to calm Oliver down, but he was having none of it.

'… what if she doesn't turn up, what if she gets cold feet and can't go through with it. What if she says 'I don't' instead of 'I do'? what do I do then, hey?' Said Oliver.

'Oliver, Jac loves you, you know that.' Said Sacha who was trying to get Daniel to eat some breakfast.

'I'm just being stupid, she won't have cold feet, she wouldn't do that.' Sighed Ollie.

Back at Jac's, the atmosphere was calmer; Jac had just got out of the shower and the hairdressers had just arrived. She sat down in the chair and tightened the tie of her dressing gown. She shut her eyes and let the hairdressers do their thing. They blow-dried and combed and curled and sprayed until they were completely satisfied. The hairdresser spun Jac round to see the mirror. Jac gasped as she saw the finished product, her hair had been put into a curly bun and on the top of her head was a collection of tiny burgundy and ivory roses.

Oliver was beginning to calm down by this time, he had managed to take a shower and had a shave and was about to do his teeth when the doorbell went. He rushed to the door and opened it to find Elliott stood there.

'Elliott, what are you doing here?' Asked Oliver surprised. 'Come in.'

'Thanks, I think we should talk.' Said Elliott.

'Why?'

'Well, as Jac has no family, it's up to me to protect her.' Explained Elliott.

'Right.' Said Oliver, waiting for the older man to continue.

'Jac is like a daughter to me, and I don't want to see her get hurt. I need to know that you'll look after her, she's been through so much in her life and I can't stand to see her get hurt again. I need you to promise me that you'll be there for her, that you won't cause her any more pain, that you'll do anything to make her happy.' Said Elliott seriously.

'I promise, she means everything to me.' Said Oliver reassuringly.

'Right, okay, now my fatherly speech is over, I need to go. Good luck.' Said Elliott rushing off.

Jac had just had her makeup done and was beginning to feel nervous, but before she was able to voice her worries, her bridesmaids entered.

Connie and Grace walked in first, Grace had a large smile on her face and was holding her mother's hand tightly. Grace had a burgundy bow in her hair which had been put into a neat bun. Connie on the other hand, had a burgundy scarf wrapped around her head and smiled brightly.

'Wow!' Said Jac. 'You two look beautiful, Grace you look so lovely and Connie you look absolutely wonderful.'

'Thank you, Jac your hair is great, I love it.' Said Connie as she bent down to look at her daughter.

Then Freya ran in and straight into her mother's arms. Freya was giggling quietly and trying to fiddle with the bow in her hair. Jac cuddled her tightly and kissed her forehead lovingly. Chrissie and Sahira entered with Milly. Hung in loose curls was their hair which sat softly on their shoulders. There well picked out dresses hugged their figures.

'Oh my god, you both look amazing, I'm speechless.' Said Jac.

'Thank you, I think it's about time you go into you dress.' Said Chrissie. 'Give Sahira the kids and Connie and I will help you get dressed.'

'Thanks.' Said Jac heading upstairs.

They made Jac keep her eyes tightly shut as they helped her into her dress. They'd added a few last minute touches and she now looked beautiful. Her hands shook s she felt them tightening the corset, the excitement shooting through her mind. Chrissie held onto Jac as Connie placed the burgundy shoes on Jac's petite foot.

'Open.' Said Connie excitedly. Jac opened her eyes to see herself in the mirror that stood before her, her eyes began to prick with tears. She was so happy, for once she was able to be happy.

'We have one more surprise.' Said Chrissie who held out a small box in her hand. 'Oliver asked me to give you this.'

Jac took the box and opened it slowly, inside was a beautiful silver necklace, it had a small heart with tiny writing on it. Jac held the necklace closer to her eye and read out: 'Jac and Oliver.' She turned it over to find that it had a small message on it: 'I love you forever and always'

That appeared to be too much for Jac and she began to cry. But the tears which streamed down her cheeks were of happiness not sadness. She felt Connie wrap her arms around Jac and pull her into a hug, but Jac didn't want to respond, she just wanted to saver the moment of happiness before it was gone again.

But seconds later, she dried her tears and pulled herself together. She took a deep breath and wrapped her friends up in the best hug she could manage. She smiled as she felt the love that her friends provided. Chrissie took the necklace from Jac's hands and put it round her neck. Jac held onto it before thanking her friends.

'We'll leave you for a moment.' Said Connie as she and Chrissie left the room.

Jac stood in front of the mirror and looked at the beautiful necklace which hung around her neck. She went over to her jewellery box and found the earrings which Oliver had bought her when they'd just started going out, she put them on and smiled into the mirror. She knew that this would be the last time that she'd be there an unmarried woman. She took one last slow, deep breath before going down stairs.

She stepped out onto the landing and walked carefully over to the staircase, clutching to banister when she got there. She padded gently down the first few steps and as soon as she began to get closer to the ground, she heard gasps from all around her. Stood at the bottom of the staircase were, Connie, Grace, Sahira, Chrissie, Milly, Freya and Elliott who all looked so happy.

'Jac, you look beautiful.' Said Elliott who was dressed very smartly.

'Thank you.' Said Jac whose smile was growing ever larger. 'Connie, have you got the ring?'

'Yes, it's here.' Said Connie holding out the red box.

'Jac, the cars here and so is Sam.' Said Chrissie. Sam was going to walk Freya and Milly down the aisle.

'Okay, I'm ready.' Said Jac. Elliott linked his arm with hers and they walked out of the house, a trail of bridesmaids behind them. Elliott and Jac climbed into one car whilst the rest got into another.

At the hall, Oliver was shaking with nerves. He was stood at the alter with his father, waiting for his bride. He looked down the aisle which was scattered with burgundy rose petals which matched his tie. Behind the doors, were Greg, Sacha and Joseph, waiting for the women to 'grace them with their presence.' Little did they know that two cars were pulling up outside, containing, 1 bride, 1 father of the bride, 1 maid of honour, 3 flower girls, 2 bridesmaid and a man who felt a little out of place as he was surrounded by women.

They all climbed out of the cars, carefully holding onto their dresses, each of them grinning like mad. Elliott helped Jac out of the car and walked her in through the doors.

'Are you sure about this?' Asked Elliott, putting his hands on Jac's upper arms.

'More sure than I've ever been.' Said Jac smiling.

'Well then, let's get you married.' Said Elliott wrapping his arms around her.

'Thank you, for everything.' Said Jac tearfully.

Sam rushed over holding Milly an clutching to Freya's hand. 'Connie said you'd want to see them before we went in.' He said as he handed the children to Jac.

Jac knelt down and kissed Freya on the head. 'I love you.' She said and she pulled her two beautiful girls into a tight hug.

Inside, Oliver was still shaking. But when the music began, he knew that he was in the right place. Suddenly the door opened and Grace and Daniel appeared hand in hand. They walked together down the aisle, grinning nervously. Then came Sam, Freya ran ahead towards her Father and was scooped up into his arms, making her giggle greatly. Sam and Milly followed behind, Milly looking around at all the people staring at her.

Then, Greg and Sahira appeared linking arms, they walked down the aisle, Joseph and Connie not far behind. As they reach Oliver, they stood on either side of him awaiting the entrance of the bride.

'Please stand.' Said the vicar.

Jac took a deep breath and linked her arms with Elliott. They walked slowly down the aisle, and Jac watched all the happy faces around her; she was so surprised that so many people had come. Even those who had disappeared from her life, stood around her; admiring her beauty. Jac had not ever thought she was beautiful, she wasn't vein and she had very low self-esteem, but today she felt beautiful. She felt as if she deserved those eyes on her, she deserved to be loved, she deserved Oliver.

Oliver watched as the love of his life walked towards him, she was stunning. He'd never seen her look so happy and so beautiful. The grin on her face was a giveaway that she loved him. He could see the silver necklace around her neck sparkling in the light.

As she reached him, she kissed Elliott on the cheek and turned to face him. Their eyes locked instantly. 'I love you.' mouthed Ollie as he took her hands in his. 'I love you two.' She mouthed back.

'Family and friends, we are gathered her today to witness these two people become one and begin their lives as a married couple.' Began the vicar. 'Before we begin, I am obliged to ask, does anyone have any reason why they may not be joined together in holy matrimony.' Nothing was said to the relief of everybody.

'Good. Do you Oliver James Valentine; take the Jacqueline Elizabeth Naylor, to be your lawfully wedded wife. To love her and protect her through the goods and the bads, the ups and downs, till death do you part?'

Jac gazed deeper into his eyes, waiting for the two word answer that meant the world to her and finally it came. 'I do.'

'And do you Jacqueline Elizabeth Naylor; take the Oliver James Valentine, to be your lawfully wedded husband. To love him and protect through the goods and the bads, the ups and the downs, till do you part?'

'I do.' Said Jac happily.

'And we may now proceed with the rings.'

Jac turned to Connie who handed her a plain silver ring, Oliver did the same and Greg handed him a silver ring with tiny diamonds in it.

Oliver slowly slid the ring onto Jac's finger and said. 'I give you this ring, as a token of our marriage and the sharing of our lives together.'

Jac did the same and said. 'I give you this ring, as a symbol of my love at the commitment we have made to each other.'

'I now pronounce you husband, and wife. You may now kiss the bride'

The step towards each other and their lips locked together. They were both so happy, that they wanted to keep the moment forever; but obviously it wasn't possible, so when the kiss did finally come to an end, they both whispered the words 'I love you.'

They heard the room fill with applauds and they walked back down the aisle hand in hand. They were the happiest people on earth, and nothing would ruin their day for them.

At the reception, the hall was already filled with people, awaiting the arrival of the happy couple. Jac and Oliver came striding in, hand in hand and large grins on their faces. They were greeted by a crowd of their friends wishing them the best.

'My wife and I would like to thank you all for joining us today, if you could all make your way through to the dining hall where we shall eat.' Said Oliver, ushering everyone through into the next room.

In the middle of the top table, were Jac and Oliver, next to Oliver was Greg who was sat next to Oliver's parents, next to them were Joseph, Sam and Sacha, on Jac's side, she had Connie, then Elliott, Sahira and Chrissie.

After everyone had eaten, the speeches began, starting with Greg

'For those of you who don't know me, I'm Greg.' Began Greg. 'When Oliver first asked me to make a speech at his wedding, I decided to research the role, and according to tradition, I'm supposed to sing the grooms praises and tell you about his good points, but I'm very sorry to say that I can't sing and I won't lie. But seriously, I don't think that Ollie could have found a better match. I remember when Jac first found out that she was going to mentor him; she wasn't a happy bunny to say the least. I vaguely remember standing outside Hanssen's office, listening in on the earful she was giving him. Anyway, I'm going to cut this short and ask you all to raise your glasses in the air. I wish you both a life time of happiness, to Jac and Ollie.' Said Elliott.

'To Jac and Ollie.' Said everyone as they raised their glasses in the air.

'I first of all want to thank a lot of people for today. First of all Greg, for everything you've done over the last few months, arranging the stag do and for your wonderful speech. I also wanted to thank Tara for covering for me at work when I had to have a suit fitting. And to Sacha and Joseph for being there for Jac and I. And the main person I want to thank is my beautiful wife Jac, for marrying me and making me the happiest man on earth. I love you so much and I can't wait to begin the rest of my life by your side.' Said Oliver. 'So, I would like to make a toast, to Jac.'

'To Jac.'

After the toast, Jac stood up. 'Right, I know that I'm not supposed to do a speech, but when have I ever played by rules.' She began. 'I want to thank my maid of honour, Connie, for everything she has done, for being the most amazing friend and for looking absolutely beautiful today. I want to thank my other two bridesmaids, Sahira and Chrissie, for looking stunning as usual and for just being fantastic. Thank you to, Elliott, my surrogate Dad, I don't have any family to be there, so thanks for being my father figure and for being the person I look up to. My final thank you is to my new family, Oliver, Freya and little Amelia, I love you more than anything and thank you for everything.' Said Jac tearfully. 'Oh and thanks for making me cry.' She joked.

'Now that the speeches are done, I would like everyone to make their way through to the next room where the bride and groom will have their first dance.' Said Greg standing up.

Everyone walked through to the hall and stood around the dance floor. Jac and Oliver had spent a long time deciding what they would have their first dance to and after a lot of thinking, they come to the conclusion that 'Marry me' by Train was the best song choice. Oliver had played it to Jac, the morning after they'd got engaged and they both knew how much it meant to them.

They walked out onto the floor, and Jac wrapped her arms round Oliver's neck and he wrapped his round her waist and as soon as the music began, they started to dance. They gazed into each other's eyes and smiled lovingly.

When the lyrics of the songs were 'you wear white and I'll wear out the words I love you.' Oliver mouthed it to Jac, earning a soft kiss on the lips and 'I love you' to be whispered back into his ear.

'Promise me, you'll always be, happy by my side.' Went the lyrics.

'I promise….'
