A/N: Hey! This is a new story I'm trying out. It's based on the film 'The Vow' which I went to see the other day and completely fell in love with. I'm also using my new favorite pairing on the Vampire Diaries, Klaus and Caroline. I really hope something happens with them, seeing as Damon/Elena isn't going anywhere at the moment.

It's completely AU, so there is nothing about vampires, hybrids, werewolf's or witches unfortunately.

Let me know what you think by leaving me a lovely little review, it would mean a lot! But anyway, on with the story, enjoy..

The warm sand felt soft under her feet as she strolled across the empty beach. The sound of the ocean waves washing up upon the shore was bliss to her ears. Slowly lifting her head, she turned and faced the light blue sea and sighed.

"This time tomorrow night, I'll be married." She stated to herself. A smile grew upon her lips, and she bit her bottom lip to keep her grin at bay. Tilting her head, her eyes focused on the twinkling stars above her, getting lost in her thoughts before she heard her name being called.

"Caroline!" Her best friend shouted. "Get your ass over here!"

She laughed to herself, shook her head and made he way back over to her half drunk friends. Sitting down on the sand she stretched her legs out in front of her and dug her fingers in the sand.

"There's the woman of the hour," Bonnie smiled happily. "You shouldn't go running off the night before your wedding you know."

"Bonnie, I didn't go running off. I went for a walk along the beach."

"Still! People might not know that, and then something terrible could of happened and no one would of known where you were." A worried look came upon Bonnie's face as thoughts started swirling round her head.

"I'm fine, Bon." Caroline pulled her friend in to a side hug. "No need to worry about me."

"Okay too much talking, not enough drinking." Elena said as she passed a bottle of champagne out to Caroline. "Drink up, miss Forbes."

Lifting the large bottle to her lips she took a sip and smiled as the bubbles tingled inside her before passing the bottle to Bonnie.

"I can't believe you're getting married tomorrow." Bonnie said taking the bottle from Caroline and taking a swig herself. "My little girl, all grown up." she joked.

"Me neither. It's all happened so quick, but I couldn't of wished for anything different." Caroline replied as she pulled her pale legs up to her chest and wrapped her arms around them.

"Well I'm glad to hear that, but I hope you know I'm incredibly jealous of you right now." Elena said as she laid back and placed an arm behind her head.

"Why?" A confused look appeared on Caroline's face as she waited for her friend to reply.

"Well duh! Your getting married to one of the nicest, hottest, funniest men I have ever come across in all the years I've been alive. We are currently sitting on a beach, in Barbados might I add, that in a few hours time you will be getting married on. And last but not least, have you seen your engagement ring?" Elena said turning on her side and pointing to the diamond ring that sat on Caroline's finger on her left hand. "It's bloody gorgeous, Care!"

"She's got a point." Bonnie chipped in.

"Guys, please don't be jealous. That's the last thing I want. I'm pretty sure that when you finally get married to Damon, Lena.. It's will be just as perfect as this. And Bonnie, when the right man comes along, you will have everything you want and more. You both deserve it."

"Well I'd love a beach wedding in Barbados but I'm pretty sure that will never happen." Elena sighed before rolling on to her back again.

"You never know, Lena."

"Oh I know, and I don't think it's really Damon's scene." She replied.

"Well whatever happens, I'm sure your wedding day.. In fact, both, your wedding days will be amazing." Caroline said, looking at both her friends.

Caroline smiled, and thought back to the day that she met Klaus. The music had been loud, too loud in the club that Elena and Bonnie had dragged her to. She felt uncomfortable with the amount of people that were crowed in the room, and decided to stand outside to get some air. The cool breeze that hit her as she stepped outside felt heavenly, and she found herself leaning against the cold brick wall. She closed her eyes and sighed. She never wanted to come out in the first place, and for her two best friends to take her to the crappiest club did not impress her one bit. The sound of the busy New York streets surrounded her, before she heard a voice.

"I'm guessing it's not really your scene." A thick British accent said.

Whipping her head to the side, her eyes caught sight of a tall man, with short slightly curly dark blonde hair, blood coloured lips and gorgeous blue eyes.

"Excuse me?" Caroline asked, pushing herself off the wall.

"In there." The man pointed to the club.

Caroline opened her mouth to reply, but was unsure what to say. She nodded her head, and looked down at her hands as she started picking the black nail varnish off her fingers.

"I'm not a stalker, or anything like that. But I saw you in there, I mean, how could I not. You're beautiful." The man ducked his head to try and get a look at Caroline's face. Caroline bit her lip, and turned her head to the side. A smile appeared on the man's face. "My name's Klaus." He said, holding out his hand.

Caroline breathed in before extending her long arm and shaking his hand. "Caroline." The warmth of his hand gave Caroline goose bumps, and what felt like an electric shock made them let go of one another's hand. "So why did you follow me out here?"

"I guess you could say it's not really my scene too." Klaus moved so he was now leaning against the wall. "My friends thought it would be a good idea to drag me out tonight, I disagreed of course."

"Same." Caroline smiled at him, before moving back over to the wall.

They both stood in silence. The noise around them filling their ears as they both got consumed into thoughts.

"I've always loved New York." Klaus said starring across the street. "The feel of it.. It's empowering. The lights, the sounds, the smell. Its-"

"The city that never sleeps." Caroline looked at Klaus. "it makes you feel alive everyday, and that's what I love about this city."

"It does indeed."

"So, you're from England?" Caroline asked.

"Ahh, what gave it away? Was it the hair?" He joked. Caroline laughed, and looked down at her feet. A few blonde curls fell lightly in front of her face and before she knew it, Klaus was brushing them back behind her ear. "Born and raised in London."

"I've always wanted to go there."

"It's a lot like New York actually," Klaus crossed his arms. "Especially at night."

"So you're on holiday?"

"No actually, I moved out here less than a year ago." He replied.

"So if London is like New York, why did you move?"

"Wanted a change of scenery I suppose."

Caroline nodded her head. She had lived in New York all her life. London and Paris. Two places where she dreamed of going ever since she was a little girl. With her parents being divorced after her father had an affair, her mom put all of her time and energy that she had by being in the police force. She hadn't seen her father since she was eight years old. She never got to experience a true family holiday and it upset her to think that she missed out a big chunk of her childhood. She shivered as a gust of wind hit Caroline sharply. Quickly, she moved her hands up and down her arms to try and stay warm.

"Here." She watched as Klaus slipped off his black leather jacket and placed it over her shoulders. She was suddenly surrounded in warmth and the delicious smell of his cologne.

"Thank you." She smiled at him.

"So what about you?" Klaus asked.

"What about me?"

"Tell me something about yourself."

Caroline looked in to his blue eyes, mesmerized by the color. "I'm a fashion designer."

Klaus smirked. He slowly drifted his eyes down her body. He loved the way her short blue dress clung to her like a second skin. Dragging his eyes back up, he saw her blush. God, she was fucking gorgeous. "I guessed."

"How?" She asked.

"You looked better than every single girl in there."

"Quite the romantic, aren't you?"

"Just telling you how I see it, darling."

They're eyes locked, and before she knew it, she was leaning in. Her heart pounded in her chest as she was inches away before..

"Caroline!"

She jumped back. Quickly composing herself, she looked over Klaus' shoulder to see Elena and Bonnie standing there.

"Hey.. just give me a minute." She said to her friends. "Look, I'm really sor-"

"Don't be. It's fine, just calm down." He gently touched her arm and smiled. "I guess you're leaving me then." She bit her lip before nodding.

"Yeah."

"Well, I don't know how you American's do it around here, but would it be rude to ask for your number?"

Caroline smiled and shook her head. "Not at all."

She quickly typed her number into his phone, passed it back to him. She started to shrug his jacket of but he stopped her.

"Keep it. You'll just have to give it back to me next time you see me." He said.

Without saying anything, she leant in and kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you."

"See you around, Caroline."

"Do you know what the guys were doing tonight?" Caroline snapped out of her trance before looking at Elena.

"Klaus told me that they were just going to a bar. God know what they'll do to him tonight though." Caroline laughed. "I told them all to behave." The girls fell in to silence before Caroline phone started to ring. "talking of the devil... Hello?"

"God I miss you." Klaus said.

"It's only been a day, Nik," She smiled in to the phone. "But I miss you too."

"Yes, well a day is too long for me when I don't get to see my beautiful fiance." Caroline closed her eyes. His voice would be the death of her. "What are you girls up to?"

"Just sitting on the beach talking."

"About?" Klaus asked.

"Stuff. And thats all you're going to get out of me."

"Okay okay. As long as you're not having any second thoughts then I'll be fine."

"Never. I could never have any second thoughts when it comes to me and you. I love you too much." Caroline said, as she played with a piece of her blonde hair.

"Right back at you, darling."

"So what are you boys up to?"

"They just took me to a bar to have a few drinks. And don't worry, we are all on our best behavior." Klaus chuckled. "But I just had to ring you, hear your voice, make sure that you still want to be my wife." He joked.

"I'm one hundred per cent sure."

"The start of the rest of our lives tomorrow babe. I cannot wait. Especially for the honeymoon, I get to have you all for myself." He said, half joking half serious.

"Looking forward to it." She replied, biting her lip, a habit that she always done.

"Well i'll let you get back to the girls." She heard him breathe out. "I love you, so much Caroline Forbes."

"I love you too, Niklaus Mikaelson."
