She was standing in front of the mirror curling her hair thinking about how fast time flies. Butterflies were flying freely in her stomach and she had to stop curling her hair to compose herself. With both hands on the bathroom counter she took a deep breath through her nose and let it out through her mouth. Hands wrapped around her middle and she melted in his arms. She positioned her neck when he placed his head on her shoulder. They looked into each other's eyes in the mirror for a while until she turned around. With their foreheads resting on one another she kissed him. When their lips touched the butterflies were gone she felt like she was where she needed to be so why be worried? She hugged him tightly and he reciprocated. She loved being in one of his bone crushing hugs; she felt protected. They stayed like that for a while until she pulled away because she needed to finish her hair.
"Careful I could burn you."
Stefan still kept his hold behind her ignoring her warning. Once her hair was curled to perfection they got dressed. Bonnie wore a knee length black and white with hints of blue, halter top dress. She paired the dress with blue studs and black platforms. With a quick look in the mirror she walked over to Stefan assisting him with his tie.
"You know I won't be able to help you with this in a few days." She finished up.
"I know how to tie a tie babe; I just like it when you do it."
He stared at her and pulled her closer capturing her lips. His hand traveled down her back gripping one of his favorite parts of her. He moaned in her mouth as she racked her fingers on his abs and she smiled. Bonnie was the first to pull away they were going to be even more late than they already were. Stefan wrapped a hand around his girl and they made their way to the car.
When they arrived most of the wedding party was there. She spotted Caroline and Elena and made her way over.
"Who's late to their own wedding rehearsal?"
"Nice to see you too Caroline oh I'm good thank you. I look nice? Aw that's so sweet you too babe."
Caroline smiled a sarcastic smile which made Bonnie laugh as she hugged Elena. They made their way over to the table that sat Bonnie's mom and dad, the Salvatore's and their cousin Zach. Bonnie took a seat between Stefan and her father and starting digging in to the plate that Stefan made her. After they finished eating their meal Demetrius; the wedding planner arrived. Demetrius ran through the wedding telling them what to do first then had them act it out.
Elena and Damon walked out first followed by Caroline and Zach.
They decided on a small wedding party but have a big reception dinner. Bonnie decided on Caroline and Elena both being her maids of honor; she simply couldn't choose one over the other.
Before she knew what was happening, Bonnie was walking down the aisle with her father. She looked at her husband-to-be and smiled. Rudy handed Bonnie over to Stefan and Demetrius played the pastor.
Bonnie laughed as Demetrius was saying random words and making different sounds with his mouth. The one thing that she understood besides "Dearly loved we are gathered here today..." was, "You may now kiss the bride." They shared an appropriate kiss for the occasion and walked hand in hand down the aisle. People cheered and clapped as Stefan picked up Bonnie bridal style and kissed her once more. After the goodbyes were exchanged they all headed home.
They decided to not stay in their private home until they were married and when all the furniture arrived which should be after the honeymoon.
After their showers, they spent their last night together as Bonnie Bennett and Stefan Salvatore.
Bonnie had decided to change her last name to Salvatore because she knew that she would always be a Bennett no matter what her last name says. Stefan was surprised by her decision but was glad that she would be a Salvatore. They snuggled close and within seconds they both were sleep.
Bonnie was woken up by a pull on her arm she opened her eyes to see a blonde.
"Caroline?"
She lifted her head up a little to see her friend yanking her out the bed. There was another pull on her and she looked over to Stefan tugging on her other arm.
"Do I look like a rope? Last time I check this is not tug of war."
Stefan won the battle because of his supernatural abilities. He curled Bonnie up in his arms and rolled over so that he was fully on top of her.
"Stefan!" Bonnie yelled.
He kissed her lips hard and Caroline made her way over plucking the vampire in the head multiple times.
"Come on you know the rules. No seeing Bonnie until the wedding you're lucky that I let you guys sleep with each other last night."
"Mine." Stefan tightened his hold.
"Ugh, fine you have one hour! Then Bonnie's mine until tomorrow. You're lucky you guys are a cute couple." Caroline gave.
She mumbled something on her way out and closed the door. Stefan laughed as he heard every word the blonde said.
"What she say?" Bonnie wondered.
"You don't want to know."
He captured her lips again and rolled them around so that he was on his back.
"You're such an ass grabber." Bonnie pulled away.
"Who wouldn't want to grab that?" He smirked.
He lifted his head up to kiss her again as her hands racked through his hair. She pulled away out of breath and slipped through his arms.
"No sex until the wedding! I have to get ready."
Stefan growled but let her go in the bathroom.
When they finished getting ready they joined Caroline, Elena and Damon downstairs. The girls quickly occupied both sides of Bonnie and scurried her out the house. Stefan shook his head and joined Damon in the kitchen.
"Bon, you'll never guess where were going for your bachelorette party." Elena closed the door.
"Where?" Bonnie got excited.
"Vegas!" The girls proclaimed.
"What? How?"
"Well my mom hooked us up; the guy that she's dating is trying to earn some brownie points." Caroline drove off.
They stopped at Kleinfeld Bridal so Bonnie could try on the dress after the altercations were made. She stepped out the dressing room to greet her friends.
"So? What do you think?" She smiled and twirled.
"Take it off or I'm gonna cry! Bonnie you're so beautiful!"
"Yeah Bon, it's perfect!"
After they dropped the dress off at Caroline's they made their way to the airport.
"Damn, brotha boy has got some bank giving us a private plane."
The girls laughed at Bonnie's comment and hopped in.
"Yeah, this was your city
You did it all and more, broke every law except for one, babe
Attraction, are you ready
I know you feel it
Pull you nearer 'til you feel it again, oh"
Before they knew it they were in Las Vegas. None of them had been before so they were all excited to enjoy it for the night. They went shopping for dresses and took a taxi to the Bellagio hotel. After they awed at the amazing room and complimenting view they got changed ready to party.
Caroline wore a tight sequenced thin strapped dress. She left her hair out and curled. With gold hoop earrings and black platforms it was the perfect party dress.
Elena also wore a thin strapped dress. Hers was black with sheer fabric going across her middle. She pared the dress with stud earrings and hot pink heels.
Bonnie wore a tight black dress that had slits going up the side of her left thigh and on the sleeves of the dress. She put her hair in a half up, half down do with bangs and put on her black three inch heels.
The girls swapped compliments as they looked in the mirrors, grabbed their purses about to head for the door.
"Don't forget these!" Caroline handed each of them fake IDs which looked surprisingly real.
"I wanna do something right
But we can do something better
Ain't no time like tonight
And we ain't trying to save it 'til later
Stay out here living the life"
A taxi drive later and they were standing in front of the Marquee Nightclub.
Boardinghouse
When night fell there were knocks in the door. Stefan opened it and Tyler, Matt, and Zach came through.
"Aye, this is my friend Matt, Matt this is Stefan." Tyler introduced.
"Congratulations man."
"Thank you." They shook hands.
"Nobody cares who we are tomorrow
You got that lil' something I like
A little something I've been wanting to borrow"
The beers and tequila shots were passed around and after a 'don't do it' speech was given by Damon they took the first of many shots. Music started to blast through the speakers and if he didn't have his phone on vibrate he wouldn't have noticed that he revived the text.
Don't get too wasted! There will be no throw up at our wedding!
XO - B
He chuckled and put his phone back in his pocket and joined the party.
Marquee Nightclub
Bonnie put her phone in her purse and walked out the bathroom. She joined her friends in their private area since Bonnie was a bride-to-be they have them their own VIP section.
"Tonight the night's, come on surrender
I won't lead your love astray, astray, yeah
Your love's a weapon
Give your body some direction
That's my aim
Then, we could"
After a few shots the girls headed to the dance floor. They were surprised that they could squeeze through the tightly packed floor. Once they were as comfortable as they could get they stared dancing to the music.
One of the workers at the club came over to Bonnie and handed her a tiara along with a veil and announced her news to the club. People cheered and held up their glasses as Bonnie 'woo-ed' in the microphone. They gave her a free bottle and she passed it around to her friends each taking a mouth full enjoying the night.
"Take back the night
Come on, use me up until there's nothing left
Take back the night
Dizzy, spinning, sweating, you can't catch your breath"
Somewhere Outside Mystic Falls
The boys decided to take the party elsewhere; to the club that Bonnie and Stefan met. He didn't realize it at first but something felt familiar and it wasn't until "Latch" played everything hit him. He remembers spotting the most beautiful girl he had seen dancing freely; her arms above her head shaking her perfect body to the beat. He remembers how his hands felt touching her for the first time and instantly feeling a connection. He remembered their first kiss and how the fireworks exploded as they shared that kiss. He was snapped out his thoughts as Zach handed him another beer.
"Take back the night
Ooh, don't know when the sun is rising next
Take back the night
So if the feeling's right, then raise your glass and let's take back the night"
Stefan should have seen this coming but he was too tipsy to stop it. A stripper made her way over to the group eyeing Stefan her whole way over. Damon had told her that his brother was getting married and was in need of a dance to enjoy his last night as an unmarried man. Stefan refused the dance but she ignored his request. He let her do her thing but when she started to touch the forbidden fruit, he sent her over to Damon and she made her rounds to the other boys.
Marquee Nightclub
The song was slowly ending and their feet started to hurt from the heels so they made their way back. They were starved so the ordered some food to fill their belly's.
"What do think they boys are doing?" Elena bit into the chicken.
"Probably out drinking, I'm sure a stripper here and there."
"You're not worried?" Caroline wiped her mouth.
"Nah, I know Stefan strippers aren't really his thing, I trust him. He's a big boy he can handle himself." She gulped down some water.
"Speaking of strippers..."
Caroline and Bonnie turned their heads to the direction Elena was facing and saw a loosely dressed man making his way over. The girls looked at each other and screamed.
"Shit, Caroline I told you we shouldn't have told them I was getting married!" She whispered loudly.
"Yeah but it got us this cool spot." She looked around.
Bonnie felt a tap on her shoulder and her eyes went wide. She timidly turned her head to face six pack abs and something extra.
The abs made their way over in front of her and she squealed as he turned around and sat on Bonnie's lap grinding against her. Bonnie's eyes almost popped out of their sockets with her mouth agape shaking her head and her friends laughed. He made his way over to Elena now it was her turn to shake her head as the others laughed. He made his way over to Caroline then back to Bonnie. He kissed her on the cheek telling her 'congratulations' and he left. Soon after that the girls left too.
Boardinghouse
Stumbling their way in the house the boys made their way to the couches. If they didn't get a taxi to take them home it would've been a bad situation. After a few minutes they raided the refrigerator looking for something to soak up some of the alcohol.
When Stefan woke up he was on the floor. He looked around and saw the rest of the group scattered out in different areas. He still had a lot of time to kill before the wedding so he made his way up to the room, set the alarm and when he hit the mattress he fell asleep.
Airport
After checking out the girls made their way back to the plane and took cat naps on the taxi ride there. Caroline sent a text to her mother telling her that they were still alive and that they should be there soon.
They lazily made their way in the plane, tilted the seats back as far as they could go and were soon in a deep sleep.
