"Oh god" Callie moaned as she woke to Sofia jumping on the bed waking her up. "Sofia where is your mommy?"
"Get married" Sofia grinned as she rolled into a cuddle and kissed Callie wetly on the cheek. Callies eyes widened instantly. Today was the day. THE day. The day she had waited her entire life for. It was finally here.
"Mija, come on. Rise and shine. The hair stylist and make up artist will be here in fifteen minutes" Lucia said as she poked her head around the door and smiled at the sight of her daughter and granddaughter snuggling.
"Come on little miss, lets get some breakfast in that tummy" Lucia said as she held her hand out for Sofia to take, the little girl did as requested and followed her Abuela down stairs and into the kitchen.
Callie rolled onto her back and looked up at the ceiling. She felt... funny. The last time she had woken up on her wedding day she had been terrified of the day and what it meant. But today she didn't feel that way, she knew she was safe with Arizona but still there was something holding her back, something making her nervous and she couldn't pinpoint it.
Aria walked into the room and saw the look of sheer confusion on her sisters face and sighed before sitting on the bed gently.
"You look like your going to be sick?" Aria asked after a few moments of silence.
"Am I making a mistake?" Callie asked, not looking at her sister.
"By marrying Arizona?" Aria asked to clarify.
"By getting married again, look how the first one turned out. I'm damaged goods, what if I'm cursed and I ruin this marriage too" Callie sobbed.
Aria crawled further up onto the bed and pulled Callie into an embrace, something rare for the two sisters but the younger Latina knew that her big sister needed some comfort right now.
"Callie, you didn't ruin your marriage with Earl, he ruined it. It was him that was toxic, you did you best holding on for as long as you did and look where its lead you. Here you are about to marry your soul mate, your daughter is downstairs and is the happiest little girl I've ever known, your family love and adore you, your surrounded by friends that would do anything to protect you. This is it Callie, you made it, you survived it all for today"
"So you don't think this is a mistake?"
"No you doofus, now get up and get ready. If your even a second late Arizona will think you've changed your mind and will shit herself" Aria advised with a smile.

"I'm going to be sick" Arizona commented as she glanced to her twin brother who was smirking at her annoyingly. "What?"
"Two months ago we were stood at a different alter having this exact same conversation... do we need to go into to nitty gritty of it or are you just going to calm down?" Tim asked still smirking.
"This is slightly different, what if she woke up and freaked out and decided she cant do this again?"
"Not going to happen... if she does have a freak out Lucia, Aria and Addie are there to talk her down, and if they cant talk her down they will call you so you can talk her down. I have your phone and it hasn't vibrated so calm down and relax" Tim coached. The wedding planner appeared to give them the queue that it was time and he turned to smile at his sister. "Its go time, now remember. This is your big day, your never going to get this day again and its going to go so fast so soak in every single moment"
Arizona nodded at Tim's sage advise as she turned to her father with a smile.
"You ready pumpkin?" Daniel asked lovingly.
"Yeah I really am" Arizona smiled back.
Tim went first, escorting his mother down the aisle and to the front row where Barbara took her seat and Tim made his way to the center to await is sister. Next Arizona walked down the aisle with Daniel, as she walked she looked around and for such a 'small' ceremony there was a hell of a lot of people there watching her and she knew if she was feeling this way, Callie was going to be feeling it worse which made her worry.
"You ok?" Tim asked as he saw the worry etched on the shorter blondes face.
"there's a lot of people here... Callie doesn't like crowds" Arizona murmured quietly.
"Well its too late now, here they come. Just keep your eye on her and don't look away, maybe she wont notice" Tim offered.
First Addison and Aria walked down the aisle in their matching dresses, then Lucia and Sofia walked down the aisle, finally Callie began to walk down the aisle with Carlos on her arm. She looked stunning if a little green around the gills. That is until her eyes met Arizona's. Suddenly all the doubts and fears, the insecurities and worries faded away. She took in her soon to be wifes dress, from toe to smile and she felt herself completely relax. This was Arizona she was marrying, everything was going to be just perfect. It always was when the blonde was involved.
Eventually she made it to the centre and Arizona held out her hand for the brunette who took it and squeezed it within her own.
"Ok?" Arizona mouthed nervously but her nerves washed away as Callie smiled and nodded her head.
Tim was right when he said the day would fly, before either women knew what was happening, they were saying 'I do' and sliding wedding bands on each others fingers. The wedding officiator announced them wife and wife and with big smiles they walked back down the aisle, hand in hand with huge smiles.
After taking some family and friend photos, the happy couple were whisked away for some more private photos.
"Happy?" Arizona asked with a big smile.
"I am now" Callie admitted. "I may have had a little melt down this morning"
"Well thank you for showing up" Arizona smirked softly as she snuggled into her wife. She loved the sound of that, Callie was her wife.
"No matter how much I might have worried this morning when I woke up, there was no doubt in my mind that I would be here today. Marrying you is the joint best thing to ever happen to me"
"Giving birth to Sofia best be the thing I'm joint with" Arizona joked as she nuzzled a caramel nose.
"Of course" Callie scoffed as she kissed her wife for the first time without an audience.
-oOo-
"Ladies and Gentlemen, may I introduce to you, Mrs and Mrs Robbins-Torres" Tim announced with a big smile as Callie and Arizona walked into the room, grinning at Sofia as they passed her.
The next hour passed as food was served and eaten, toasts were made and many laughs were had. Finally it was time for the first dance and Callie was a ball of nerves, Arizona could feel the nervous energy coming from her wife.
"It's gonna be ok, just focus on me" Arizona soothed into her wifes ear as she slid a pale hand down a tanned arm until their fingers connected and wrapped around each others.
"There are a lot of people here, they're all going to be watching me" Callie mumbled back.
"They'll be watching us, both of us. But if you really don't want to do this we can just skip it, it's a silly tradition anyway" Arizona offered graciously.
"No... no way. Remember that night when we were talking about marriage, this was the moment we imagined. You and me on the dance floor, lost in each others eyes, swaying to the music... as nervous as i am, I really want this" Callie admitted.
"Ok then" Arizona finally smiled. "Lets go boogie" Arizona guided her wife onto the dance floor as 'Your still the one' began to play.
"You picked this song?" Callie asked with a wistful smile.
"This song says it all for me. After all these years, after loving you for almost my whole life. You are still the one for me" Arizona smiled softly.
"Your such a sap" Callie giggled.
"Only for you" Arizona grinned as she wrapped her arms around Callie's waist, feeling Callie's arms wrap around her neck. "Just remember to keep your eyes on me, nobody else matters"
"Right now, there are only two people in the world" Callie smiled softly as she basked in the moment. "You were right" Callie said after a few moments of listening to the lyrics as she swayed to the music.
"I usually am" Arizona joked which gained a hearty laugh from Callie. "About what exactly?"
"This moment, its perfect. You said it would be, the picture you painted was perfect but this moment, right here and now, dancing with my wife" Callie smiled as the word passed her lips "Its perfection"
"Thank you for turning up today, i was so nervous that you would change your mind. I wouldn't have blamed you for running, but you didn't... you actually came" Arizona said softly so that no one would overhear.
"I will admit when I woke up I panicked, but Aria reminded me that today... today I got to marry you. My best friend, my soulmate, my love... the only direction I was gonna run was to the aisle. Id do this day all over again if i could"
"I love you Calliope"
"I love you too Arizona"
Once the first dance was finished, Carlos and Daniel approached their daughters with their hands out and a hopeful look on their face.
"You going to be ok?" Arizona asked worriedly.
"Yeah, yeah I'm going to be just fine Arizona. Because I just married my soulmate, I have a beautiful daughter and everything in the world just seems perfect... I'm going to be just fine" Callie smiled softly before taking her fathers hand.
