(A.N) Hey everyone! Here's the second part of the wedding. I included Ryan and Marissa's 'song' as the theme of the chapter. It was originally sung by Alphaville but covered by Youth Group on The O.C. in 'The Last Waltz'. Well read on and enjoy. Please give me your reviews!

The Happy Couple Part 2

'Forever Young'

Summer climbed out of the car, the other bridesmaids behind her. She looked at the large chapel ahead of her, where Julie married Caleb, seeing the packed congregation Summer shivered. It was so scary.

She clutched her bouquet and waited by the entrance for Marissa. She glanced behind into the church and saw Ryan, Seth and Sandy stood by the front. Seth waved at Summer.

She grinned and waved back.

"Look, she's coming!" Savannah cried, spotting the vintage black Bentley in the distance.

Summer took a deep breath, fingering her dress. The golden silk slipped through her fingers like liquid.

The car pulled up outside and Jimmy jumped out, running around to the other side where his daughter was being helped out by the driver.

Summer smiled at her friend. Marissa smiled back, her eyes starting to well up with tears.

"You'll be fine," Summer mouthed as the photographer snapped away. Marissa took a deep breath, linking her fathers arm tightly.

"I love you kiddo," he said as the music started.

"I love you too Daddy."

Summer clasped Savannah's hand and they followed Marissa and her father up the aisle, every note of the music making Ryan's heart want to fall out of his chest.

They reached the altar, the sound of Julie sniffling in the background.

Ryan took Marissa's hand softly and the vicar started to speak.


The congregation cheered as the bells began to chime. Ryan and Marissa kissed passionately, their two best friends looking on.

Ryan clasped her hand and they walked out of the church, the photographer waiting to pounce. Seth stood by the altar, wiping away a tear, trying to be discreet.

"Cohen? Are you crying?" Summer giggled as she hugged him tightly.

"Me, no! The pollen in this place is outrageous." Summer laughed and took his hand, exiting the church.

The happy couple were stood under a large tree, having their photo taken as Seth and Summer appeared.

"Hey, how about a picture of the fantastic four?" Seth said, tapping the photographer on the shoulder.

"Sure, big smiles everyone!" Seth and Summer held onto each other and they all smiled, feeling genuinely happy.

"So, Mrs Atwood, how do you feel?" Seth asked Marissa.

" I feel fantastic," she replied, loosing herself in Ryan's eyes.


Ryan held Marissa closely as he led her onto the dance floor, the day that he had dreamt of for years had happened, was happening. Ryan turned and nodded to the band, who started to play a song. He danced slowly on the mahogany floor at the country club where the reception was being held, as the music kicked in

Let's dance in style, lets dance for a while
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?

Marissa perked up and stared at Ryan.

"Oh my god, it's our song!" she cried. Ryan smiled and looked into her eyes.

"I know, I thought what better song to have for our first dance?"

"I love you Marissa and I promise you that I'll always be here." Marissa smiled and rested her head on his shoulder.

Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men

"Awww, look at them, they are so cute!" Summer smiled over at Ryan and Marissa, slowly dancing with everyone looking on.

A couple of people went onto the dance floor, beginning to dance.

"You wanna dance?" Seth held out his hand which Summer took eagerly.

Forever young, I want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever, forever and ever
Forever young, I want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever? Forever young

"So, how's Bailey?" Seth asked. Summer rested her head on Seth's chest, her arms draped around his neck.

"Oh, he's good, I tried to make his apartment liveable, it was so, ew." Seth smiled.

"So, uh, have you met his girlfriend yet?"

"No, things are bad between them, long distance thing," Summer sighed.

"I just, Summer please don't get mad, but I just think that something is off about him," Seth admitted.

Summer looked up at him.

"Like what?"

"Well, I just don't like the way he looks at you," Seth said. She sighed.

"Oh Cohen, don't worry, he knows that I'm totally in love with you," Summer said. Seth shrugged.

"Look, I'll make sure he knows it even more if you like," she sighed.

"Okay, but if anything changes, you'll tell me?" he asked.

"Okay, I promise." She moved his head closer to hers and closed her eyes.

It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fleeing horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
and diamonds are forever

"The kids look so happy," Sandy said to Kirsten as they danced alongside them.

"Yeah, but that's the thing Sandy, they're not kids anymore," Kirsten said sadly.

"Aww, honey I thought we got over this after they graduated," Sandy chuckled.

"I know, but Seth being back just makes me feel sad, he's a man now and so is Ryan." Sandy shrugged.

"Well you can think that or you can think that you can bet that some grandchildren will be headed our way soon and look at Seth, he'll probably propose to Summer any day!" Kirsten's face lit up.

"You're right, thanks Sandy," Kirsten smiled lovingly and kissed him softly.

"Well I'm good for some things."

Forever Young, I want to be forever young

Do you really want to live forever? Forever Young.
