Liam looked at himself in the mirror once more before leaving the hotel room. He asked, "Are you sure about the attire Drake." Drake scowled at Liam saying, "Well you've always wanted to be a commoner. Now you get to be one. This is what I could find at the last minute. Just be glad your doing this Hana has said Riley's dress is scandalous." Liam chuckled he had no doubt that Riley would look breathtaking.
They got into a cab Liam asked, "Where are we meeting?" Maxwell replied, "Central Park near the Balto statue. It's really close to a children's zoo. I'm sure we will all stand in a grassy area near there." Liam nodded asking, "Then what is planned after the ceremony?" Maxwell smiled saying, "Your honeymoon of course. I texted you the address. Your reservation is for Liam and Riley Brooks I wasn't sure of your last name." Liam nods his head in understanding silence entering the cab. Soon they arrive at Central Park. They had used a park map to find the Balto Statue and made their way through the park to it. Soon they found Hana and she leads them to the grassy area nearby that had been chosen. Riley stood surrounded by everyone as Drake lead Liam to the Minister. "Wait here," Drake said as he left to the group grabbing Olivia and walking down with her. Next was Maxwell and Hana Riley only having Daniel and a tree for cover. Daniel took her arm and walked her towards Liam.
Liam's breath caught in his throat at the sight of her. As she drew closer he couldn't help his bodily reaction to the sight. His eye darkened as he took in the see-through material. He could see her white bikini style underwear. He couldn't, however, see a bra meaning she wasn't wearing one. His pants grew tight against him causing him to have to adjust himself. She finally arrived and faced him taking his hand in hers. The Minister cleared her throat saying, "I have been asked to officiate this but it's your friends who wish to participate in the ceremony. I will cover anything they have missed."
Olivia stepped forward saying, "I was determined not to like you, Riley Brooks. However, you refused to back down or take my shit and I grew to respect you over time. I know my best friend Liam is safe in your hands. I hope that one day our country will be safe in your hands as well. On a final note if you ever hurt him you'll have to deal with me." Riley smiled saying, "I love you too Olivia." She scoffed at Riley muttering, "I said no such thing" before adding, "Liam you have been a good friend to me. As your friend, I want nothing but the best for you. Riley is the queen you deserve and I will help you both until Madeleine is an issue no more."
Maxwell went next saying, "Little blossom you have the full support of our house. I have seen you grow into yourself through the social season. I also, have seen you meet every challenge placed in front of you. Nothing seems to be able to stand in your way too long. I hope we will find Tariq so all will be good. Should that not happen I am sure you will find a way to outshine us all. Liam, I can't say I knew you well before our outing to New York where we met Riley but I am glad she has allowed me to get to know you."
Hana stepped forward saying, "I wasn't sure I'd find a place here when I arrived a stranger to Cordonia. I was pleasantly surprised when I met Riley and we became fast friends. She gave me a strength I didn't know I had and reminded me often how talented I was. I can honestly say Liam I wouldn't have received the kind welcome I did without Riley there amoung your suiters. Who knows where I would have been without either of your support."
Drake was the last to come forward saying, "I always thought that one day the crown would take you away from me. Not in the physical sense but that you'd become someone else like what happened with your father. I was worried that someday I wouldn't recognize the man I considered to be a brother. Then Riley came and at first, I wanted to hate her. I thought she was a crown chaser so I wasn't overly nice to her. It didn't seem to bother her, she just tried harder to get to know me. When I asked why she said you can learn a lot about a person by the friends they keep. I was surprised by her time and time again. I finally realized that she was trying to be my friend simply because I was so important to you Liam."
A shout of, "Wait don't start" came from the distance causing everyone to pause and turn a moment. Soon Leo came rushing up to his brother saying, "I hope I didn't miss the whole thing." Liam shook his head before clapping his brother on the shoulder saying, "We were just finishing up but, I'm glad you could make it." Leo looked over to Riley saying, "It's a pleasure to see you again. I look forward to having you as a sister in law." Leo leans over to whisper in Liam's ear, "I think I may be jealous she's hot." Liam glares at his brother growling, "She's mine you have yours."
The minister clears her throat, "If we are done I'd like to get to the official part of the ceremony." With everyone's nod she continues, "Do you Liam take this woman as your wife? To have and to hold for richer or poorer in sickness and in health until death do you part?" Liam replies, "I do." The Minister turns to Riley asking, "Do you Riley take this man to be your Husband? To have and to hold for richer or poorer in sickness and in health until death do you part?" Riley smiles saying "I do." The minister smiled saying, "Liam place the ring on Riley's finger and say with this ring I thee wed." Liam smiled as he placed the ring on her finger saying, "With this ring, I thee wed." Riley takes Liam's ring and places it on his finger repeating, "With this ring, I thee wed." The minister smiled saying, "I now pronounce this couple man and wife you may kiss your bride."
Liam dips Riley and crashes his lips into hers in a passionate kiss. A loud round of applause and whistles were heard throughout the park. As a crowd had gathered to watch the small ceremony. Liam picked Riley up bridal style causing her to squeak out, "Where are you taking me?" Liam chuckled replying, "To our honeymoon suite of course." Riley flushed as he carried her to the nearest street to hail a cab.
