"You're falling asleep on me too much," she mumbled as she bent to give him a kiss on the forehead. Immediately Nathan awoke and pulled her down to sit by his feet. "What are we doing in front of a church, Nathan?"
"And I thought I was supposed to be the slow one?" he questioned innocently as she smacked his arm. "What do you think...about getting married?"
"I think that was the whole point of getting engaged," she replied smartly as he rolled his eyes.
"Okay, let me be more specific. What do you think about getting married right now?" Haley stared at him completely amazed, this is the emergency he had. She leaned forward and gave him a kiss, long and sweet. "Is that a yes?" he asked, chuckling as she pulled away.
"I think I already said yes six months ago. And I think it's about time I said I do," she responded and took his hand almost dragging him behind her as she took off towards the church.
They got inside and immediately Haley went for the second pair of doors but Nathan stopped her with a laugh, "You don't honestly think you're getting married like that. What about your dress? And your hair and makeup?"
Haley continued to stare before he pushed her towards a side door. "Go. The dress is the one you showed Peyton the other day. And the measurements are from the bridesmaid dress you wore last month to your brother's wedding," Nathan explained, taking amusement in her surprise.
Smiling, Haley pushed the door open, turning around to give one last look to Nathan. Inside, Peyton was having some last minute touches on her makeup, her favorite sister was having her hair done, and Brooke and her mother were trying to calm an overly-hyper, flower girl Jenny. They all paused to look at her and immediately began talking.
Eventually her mother got her into another room to change into the perfectly white wedding dress. When she came out Haley was instantly rushed by the two women who had previously been working on Peyton and her sister, Cassidy.
Before she knew it Haley was standing outside the second set of doors, bouquet in hand, and her father by her side. "You look beautiful, honey."
"I bet you say that to all your daughters on their wedding days," she laughed and he smiled widely at her. "You knew about this? I thought you hated Nathan?" Jenny rushed down the aisle and int Jake's arms and he quickly handed her off to Haley's mother who gladly took her.
"Every father hates every guy his daughter brings home," he explained as Brooke started to walk down the aisle. "But actually, I respect Nathan more than any of your sister's husbands," he whispered as if telling her some secret.
Haley shot him a disbelieving look and watched Peyton start to walk. "Yeah, did you know that unlike your three other sister's husbands, he actually came to me to ask for your hand?"
"Did you say yes?" she immediately questioned and her father made a sweeping gesture to where they were standing, as if saying 'what do you think?'. "Well, he could have proposed anyways, he would have proposed anyways."
Her father laughed but quickly quieted down since the church doors were still open. "Of course I said yes. But my point is, after that, I've always liked him just a little bit more than the others," he confessed and took her hand in his when the traditional wedding march started.
Nathan was standing by the altar, Luke, Jake, and her oldest brother by his side, but she barely noticed them. What she did notice though, was Brooke, gesturing to her brother and mouthing 'he's hot'. Peyton jostled her side quickly, to get her to shut up and Haley almost started cracking up.
Her gaze shifted to the others in the room and noticed that the entire basketball team plus the coach were sitting off to the side. Surprisingly, all her brothers and sisters were in attendance along with her nieces and nephews. Her mother was front and center with tears in her eyes. Haley almost wanted to laugh, she didn't know how many weddings her mother had already been too and cried for.
Finally she reached the end of the aisle and her father reluctantly handed her over to Nathan who kept an idiotic grin plastered all over his face. The priest started the ceremony but they barely noticed. When he asked if anyone had any objections, no one so much as twitched.
"Nathan Scott, do you—," the priest couldn't finish.
"I do," Nathan had cut him off, grinning widely as every in attendance chuckled softly. He took her hand and quickly slipped the ring on before anyone could protest.
The priest cleared his throat, almost embarrassed and moved on. "All right, Haley James," instead of trying he quieted and let her cut him off.
"I do," she replied confidently, smiling at him almost apologetically before taking Nathan's hand and doing the same.
"Then I now pronounce you man and wife, you may kiss the bride." Nathan leaned in slowly, but Haley quickly went up to meet him and they shared their first kiss as a married couple. They rushed out of the church and everyone followed.
Nathan lead her out to the awaiting limo and they got in but not before the Coach approached them. "Now I hate to be the bearer of bad news. But Nathan we have a game tomorrow. Mrs. Scott don't keep him up too long," he grinned and backed off and the driver took it as his cue to leave.
Haley blushed deeply at his implications and Nathan smirked from across the seat. "What are you laughing at? That wasn't funny," she protested but was shortly cut off by his lips.
"You know, I always did have a problem listening to my coaches," he responded cheekily and she presently smacked him on the arm.
