A/N After many nights debating how I'm going to write this chapter, at long last inspiration in the form of JasminJadexx came to me. This chapter is dedicated to her as her influence from the start has kept me going. Just to make sure we are all clear, the wedding chapter will be in two parts, one Amber's, one Tom's. They will both be documenting the whole day, as I wanted to play the entire wedding from both perspectives, and a no person POV chapter would not do justice. Anyway, enough or my waffling, on with the show, and as ever let me know what you think, Ghostie.

AMBER'S POV

FRIDAY

I woke up quite early the next morning. It took me a few minutes to come round, and then I realised I was at Maddi's. It was strange not waking up next to Tom, and I didn't like it. I did have a fantastic night last night, but I miss my man. Today was the final day. The work, the pain, the blood, sweat and tears, all came to a close today. I never thought I would say those words, and I'm tremendously glad I am. Next to me, the others stirred and slowly woke up.

"Bloody hell, what time is it?" Maddi grumbled.

"Half 6" I replied.

"Ugh" she moaned. Imogen groaned as well, but she wasn't as bothered. It took both of us to finally drag Maddi out of her slumber. When we eventually did, we traipsed downstairs, and Imogen made us all breakfast. I pulled out my revision books.

"Do you really have to do that?" Maddi asked.

"What, revise? Yes" I replied.

"That's boring" Maddi moaned.

"Well, some of us actually want to pass" I retorted. She shrugged, and went upstairs to claim the bathroom.

"Don't take forever" Imogen shouted.

"It's my house" Maddi shouted back. I rolled my eyes, and checked my phone. I had nothing from Tom. He's probably still asleep. Lazy bastard. I left him a message telling him that I love him and I'll see him at school, and also to get his arse out of bed. When Maddi finally emerged, I raced Imogen to the bathroom. I won by a country mile.

"Yes!" I shouted triumphantly.

"Not fair" she whined.

"It was your idea to race" I retorted before slamming the door shut. Peace at last. I didn't take long to get ready. I straightened my hair, and put light makeup on. I bless the fact that Tom thinks I'm beautiful whatever, however much I protest against that it. I brushed my teeth, and finished up, before opening the door. Imogen rolled her eyes.

"What?" I asked.

"Finally" she sighed.

"I didn't take that long" I replied.

"You bloody did" she grumbled. I went to go down the stiars when I heard Maddi's voice. She was on the phone to someone at a guess. I only heard snippets of the conversation.

"Everything's all set"

"She knows nothing"

"I can't wait"

"I'll see you later"

I went into the living room, and sat on the sofa with Maddi, while we waited for Imogen. She finally came down the stairs and off we went. It was a long, slow walk, but made so worth it when I saw Tom's grinning face at the gates. I ran into his arms, and he swept me off my feet, swinging me round. When he put me down, he captured my lips in a deep passionate kiss, making me even more breathless then I already was.

"Hi" he smiled.

"Hi" I managed to force out.

"Missed me?" he asked.

"Always" I replied.

"If you take my arm, Miss Mints, I shall accompany you to your lesson, which just so happens to be English revision with me" Tom said, bowing, and offering his arm.

"Why thank you Mr Clarkson, and oh, what are the chances of that" I replied, courtseying, and linking my arm in his. I waved goodbye to them two, and walked with Tom.

"So are you looking forward to our date night tonight?" he asked.

"Have been all week" I replied, and we entered the classroom. It was half 8. Half an hour before class started. Tom locked the door, and shut the blinds, before crushing his lips to mine. When the need to breathe became too much, we broke apart.

"We have half an hour" Tom said.

"Save it for tonight" I replied, before pulling him close again, and deepening the kiss. I rolled my hips slightly, making him moan when my body came into contact with his. There was a knock at the door, and we both sprang apart, smoothing ourselves down. It was only Chris.

"Enter" Tom called. Chris walked in.

"Am I interrupting something?" he asked.

"No" we both said in unison.

"Good, would you mind if I had a word with Tom?" Chris asked, turning to me. I looked at Tom, and he shrugged.

"Sure" I replied, smiling. I stepped outside, and found Maddi and Imogen waiting. I raised an eyebrow.

"You're here early" I remarked.

"Bored" Maddi replied. Imogen nodded as well. "What are you doing out here?"

"Chris wanted Tom for something, no idea what" I replied nochalantly, secretly intrigued. A few minutes later, Chris walked out, grinning about something. Tom stepped out, also with a massive grin on his face, and called us all in. I could barely keep up with this revision, I was so fascinated with his meeting before. He's been acting a little strange all week, cagey. I was that focused on it, I didn't even notice when Tom asked me a question. I blushed and answered. The 2 hours passed quickly.

"Good luck everyone today, I know you'll all nail it, you have to, you have me for a teacher" Tom joked, making us all laugh, before dismissing us. He called me back.

"What's wrong with you space cadet?" he asked jokingly. I glared at him.

"I could ask you the same thing" I spat back. He raised an eyebrow. "Secret meetings with Chris, weird texts from Kim, you acting jumpy when I go near your phone, you've been acting cagey all week." He didn't say anything, his face was impassive. "Dammit Tom, if you're cheating on me, I'd at least like to know about it." He grinned.

"You think I'm cheating on you?"

"Know what, forget it Tom, fucking forget it" I spat angrily. Tom's face fell.

"No, Amber wait" he called, pressing his forehead against mine. He sighed. "Meet me on the roof at half 3 today, I'll show you"

"I don't know" I started.

"Please. Trust me" he whispered pleadingly.

"I suppose so" I muttered.

"Just trust me. Half 3. Now go. Good luck. Love you" he grinned, kissing me on the cheek. I turned on my heel and walked out. It's so bloody hard to stay mad at him, but for now, exam time. I strolled in there feeling cool. I can do this. I took my seat, and listened to the spiel that we usually got it. I just wanted to get on with the exam. This is it. The last one. I opened the paper and began. Everything just seemed to be moving so slow, but after a lifetime, I heard the words "please stop writing, put your pens down". I wanted to cry. I felt so happy it was over. We dismissed one row at a time, and I met Maddi and Imogen.

"What time is it?" Maddie asked.

"2 o'clock, why?" I asked, confused.

"Imogen, take her to the girls changing rooms, I have something I need to do" Maddi stated, before running off somewhere.

"Imogen, what's going on?" I asked, but she didn't reply. She sat me down on the bench.

"Just trust me and Maddi" she whispered, squeezing my hand.

"Funny, I seem to be doing a lot of trusting today" I replied.

"You won't regret it" she promised. At this point Maddi walked in with a plastic carrier bag. She pulled my plain white dress and heels to match.

"Put these on" she said.

"Is this to do with why Tom's asked me to meet him on the roof?" I asked. Maddi tutted.

"Silly boy. He shouldn't have said anything. You look beautiful" she replied, when I put the clothes on.

"Now you wait here while me and Imogen pop out. Don't forget rooftop at half 3", and before I could say anything she ambushed me with a blindfold. I started screaming bloody murder, and both of them squeezed my hands before Imogen muttered "Mead will be back for you, trust us". I heard their footsteps grow quieter before silence. What the fuck am I supposed to do for a hour and a half, blindfolded as well. I'm actually going to kill Tom. After a while, I felt a light tapping on my shoulder.

"Who is it?" I asked grumpily.

"Chris" was the reply.

"Thank god for that. I just want to get this over with now" I said.

"You won't when we get there" he murmured, just audibly. He took my arm and led mewhat I think was all around the school, through the carpark, around the playground.

"Chris, what are you doing?" I asked.

"I'm taking you on a tour, you'll understood soon enough" he replied, before taking me back inside. Thank god it was August and warm. Chris took me up the stairs, and onto the roof. I heard collective gasps, and whispers of 'she looks beautiful'.

"Will you please take this bloody blindfold off now" I asked. I heard a chuckle, presumably Tom's, and I felt the blindfold beong removed. I gasped myself. He'd planned a surprise wedding just for me. Everyone was here. I glanced over and saw Maddi, and Imogen dressed in the most beautiful purple dresses, I saw Kim, Sian, Grantley, Nicki, Izzie, all my favourite people, Luke was a paigeboy, I saw the most gorgeous sky blue lillies, I saw Chris take his place as best man, and finally there he was. The most wonderful man I could ever have. That's why he'd been jumpy all week, why did I ever doubt him? He was even wearing the suit he wore to prom, the one he proposed to me in. He caught my eye, and grinned at me, before Andrew walked over and took my arm.

"Will you allow me the honour?" he asked like a true gentleman.

"Of course Mr Treneman" I replied.

"Andrew, please" he replied, before guiding me down the aisle to my beautiful guy. I reached Tom, and he took me away from Andrew after I thanked him. The ceremony proceeded and we turned to face each other for the vows. "Amber first, if you please" the minister said. I took a deep breath, and steadied my hands.

"Well to be honest, I don't quite know what to say, as I had absolutely no idea you were doing this, so here goes. Tom Clarkson, you are the most honest, kind, caring, genuine, wonderful, indescribable man I have ever met. It's not been easy, and I can't guarantee it will always be fluffy rainbows and happy ever afters, but one thing I can absolutely guarantee is that I will never, ever stop loving you, and I will always be here if you need me. I will never let you down. I love you with all my heart, Thomas James Clarkson, and you can never get rid of me. Forever and always" I finished, and loked up at Tom. He had tears in his eyes.

"And now Tom" the minister continued. Tom also took a deep breath.

"Amber Louise Mints, you have been my everything from the moment I met you. You have been my rock, my support in times of need, an ear to listen, an ear when I rant, but you have never left my side, and for that I can't thank you enough. No it hasn't been easy, but you have taken the rough with the smooth, and never gave up on us. You have made me a better man, and you always keep me on the straight and narrow. You are honest, you make people better, and you keep them believing in themselves when they don't. You always see the best in the people, and that is why I am always in awe of you. What I promise you is that I will never hurt you, I will always care for you, and never, ever stop loving you. You can never get rid of me either. Always and forever" he finished, and I was in tears.

"The rings if you please" the minister stated, and Luke toddled over and gave them to him. He looked so cute.

"Amber, I give you this ring as a sign of our marriage. With my body I honour you, all that I am, I give to you, all that I have I share with you, within the love of God, the Father, and the Holy Spirit" Tom stated.

"Tom, I give you this ring as a sign of our marriage. With my body I honour you,all that I am, I give to you, all that I have, I share with you, within the love of God, the Father and the Holy Spirit" I stated. The priest carried on. He turned to Tom.

"Tom, wil you take Amber to be your wife? Will you love her, comfort her, honour and protect her, and forsaking all others, be faithful to her as long as you both shall live?"

"I will" Tom replied. The priest turned to me.

"Amber, will you take Tom to be your husband. Will you love him, comfort him, honour and protect him, and forsaking all others, be faithful to him as long as you both shall live?"

"I will" I replied.

"In the presence of God, and before this congregation, Tom and Amber have given their consent and made their marriage vows to each other. They have declared their marriage by the joining of hands and by the giving and recieving of rings. I therefore proclaim that they are husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." The priest happily finished, and we crushed our lips together as everyone cheered and whistled. We broke apart grinning. I heard someone shout 'party time' and everyone started walking back inside, Chris heading the party of people. Me and Tom stayed there.

"So, surprise wedding?" I grinned, raising an eyebrow.

"Have I made it up to you?" Tom asked grinning, pulling me close to him.

"Definitely" I replied, kissing him softly.

"Dance with me" he said simply.

"What? What about everyone else?" I asked.

"I don't care. I want to dance with my wife, in front of my best friend" he said. This man was too good for me. He put Bubbletoes on by Jack Johnson and took my hand in his, and we swayed to the music, in our own little world. It has been the perfect day.
