The Wedding

"So man, are you ready?" Seth asks as they drive to the beach. They're gunna be meeting with Luke, and Zach to just hang out to get rid of the "wedding jitters" as Seth likes to call it.

"Let's just go to the beach and relax, okay?" Ryan asks, keeping his eyes on the road.

"Alright, fine." Seth says, knowing that if Ryan wants to talk about it, he will. Forcing feelings out of Ryan is never good.

"I'm just… it's crazy you know? I'm getting married. Before I came to Newport I've always kind of figured I'd get married to Theresa and work as a construction worker in Chino." He says glancing at Seth, "Don't get me wrong, I love Marissa to death and I'm so happy that we're going to be spending the rest of our lives together, but, it just seems so insane. I'm gunna be marrying a gorgeous girl from Newport and I work for the biggest company. Six years ago I wouldn't have even thought about going up to Marissa Cooper."

Seth nods, knowing where Ryan was coming from. And it's true, Ryan's grown since he got to Newport and everybody couldn't be more proud of him, but Seth knows that that wasn't the life Ryan was expecting and it's a shock to take it all in. "Dude, you're marrying the girl you love and things are finally going great for you both. Sure, it's a lot to take in, but you both deserve this. Things are finally working out, for everybody."

Ryan nods and smiles at his friend. "Yeah, you're right."

"When am I ever not?" Seth says without a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

Ryan turns the car off and they begin their way towards the beach. "You see them?" he asks, looking around.

"Yeah, I can see Luke's hairy chest from here." Seth says casually walking over to their two friends.

"Chino!" Luke says happily, giving him a hug. "It's the big day, man! How you feeling?"

"You know, nervous as hell." Ryan says with a small laugh.

"You got your vows ready?" Zach asks.

"Yeah, I finished it this morning." Ryan replies, "I've been working on it since I proposed, and even now I still don't think it's good enough."

"I'm sure it's good enough. Dude, I heard your speech for when you proposed was awesome!" Luke says with a smile.

"Yeah, it was pretty amazing." Seth says putting a hand on Ryan's back.

"Really? I mean, what did you say that was so amazing?" Zach asks turning to Ryan.

"I wasn't talking about the speech, I was talking about how Ryan managed to say so much in so little time." Seth points out.

Ryan punches Seth on the arm before taking the football out of Luke's hands. "Alright, let's play!"

"Hey! No one told me we were gunna be playing sports!" Seth cries out as he watches his three friends pass the ball around.

At The Cohen's

"So, Coop. Today's the big day!" Summer says as she puts her earrings on.

"I know. I can't believe it." Marissa says with a wide smile on her face. They had about 3 more hours until the wedding and all the ladies are getting ready at the Cohen's house. "Mom, is my dress here yet?" she asks, turning to face her mother.

"Your father should be here soon with it." Julie replies looking at herself in the mirror.

"Okay, and the flowers?"

"Already downstairs." Kirsten says as she walks into the room in her robe.

"Okay, and what about your dresses?" Marissa asks walking around the room trying to make sure everything is set. "You should start putting them on, so we can start taking pictures as soon as my dad gets here with my dress and where the hell are Kaitlyn and Anna—

"Coop, relax, they're downstairs on the phone making sure the boys are doing okay." Summer says reassuringly, "The hair dresser should be here any minute, our dresses are already in the closet, the flowers are ready, and your dress will be here soon. It's gunna be okay."

"I know, I'm just…it's nerve wracking, you know? I mean, I just finished my vows last night." Marissa says anxiety in her voice. "It's just a lot to take."

"Sweetie, today is your day. Enjoy it. You're marrying the man you love, there's nothing better than that." Julie says putting a hand on Marissa's shoulder.

"You're right." Marissa says with a smile. "You guys are right! Today's gunna be perfect…I'm about to marry Ryan Atwood." She utters, not to anyone particular, "I'm getting married today." She says with a smile on her face.

"Here, let me help you, kid." Sandy says with a smile as he begins helping Ryan with his tie. The wedding starts in 45 minutes and he was just about finished getting ready. The groomsmen are already downstairs and the limo is already up front.

"Thanks, Sandy. I'm usually okay at doing this." Ryan says with a small laugh, "I don't know what's going on with me today."

Sandy nods with a smile, "You nervous?" he asks, pulling the tie up to Ryan's neck.

Ryan laughs and lets out a small sigh, "To death." He says, "But I'm marrying Marissa Cooper, and really, it's what I've wanted since the night I met her."

"Well, I'm happy for you, kid." Sandy says, putting a hand on Ryan's shoulder, "Who would've known that a kid from Chino would be marrying a Newpsie girl?" he says with a laugh.

"Not me." Ryan utters, smiling at his foster father, "Listen Sandy. Thanks…for everything. I don't know how I could ever repay you for everything you've done for me."

Sandy nods with a small smile and looks at Ryan, "You've done enough for me as I have for you, and Kirsten and I cannot be anymore proud." He says in a serious tone, "Both of my boys are growing up." He pulls Ryan into his embrace and Ryan smiles, "I'm getting so old." Ryan lets out a laugh as they pull away. "Now, let's get you married."

Ryan gives him a smile and they head towards the front door.

"You look incredible, kiddo." Jimmy says softly to his daughter, as they got ready to walk down the aisle.

"Thanks, dad" Marissa says with a smile, "I'm so glad you came."

"Are you kidding? I would never miss my little girl's wedding. Work can wait." Jimmy replies giving her a kiss on the cheek. Suddenly, they begin to hear the wedding music beginning to play. "Here we go. You ready, kiddo?" he asks, looking at his daughter.

Marissa lets in a deep breath and nods with a smile. Jimmy returns the smile and they begin to walk down the red carpet.

Ryan watches as Marissa comes into view, white dress and all and Ryan's heart begins to race as he gazes at the love of his life, She's beautiful. And I get to be the one to marry her. He thought with a smile.

Marissa's heart begins to race as well, as soon as she saw the man of her dreams, standing up at the altar. It's finally here. I'm about to be Mrs. Ryan Atwood.

They approach the altar and Jimmy shakes Ryan's hand, "Take care of her, alright?" he says softly, giving Ryan a smile.

"I promise." Ryan replies.

Jimmy nods and gives Marissa a soft kiss on the cheek before letting his daughter go. Marissa's eyes begin to water and she blinks back tears of joy and takes Ryan's hand as they begin to walk up the altar, before the priest.

"Friends, we have gathered here today to witness Ryan Atwood, and Marissa Cooper to unite in holy matrimony. Will you please join your rights hands." The couple takes each other's hands and smiles. "Let us now proceed with the vows." Summer leans in and hands Marissa her vows.

"Ryan, for so long, I wondered if I would ever find my prince, my knight in shining armor who comes into my rescue when I'm in need. And six years ago, at the end of the Cohen's driveway," Ryan gives her a smile and Marissa continues on, "I found everything I have been looking for my whole life, and now here we are, with our future before us, and I only want to spend it with you, my prince, my knight, my friend."

The priest gives Marissa a smile and then turns to Ryan. Seth leans in and holds out Ryan's piece of paper. Ryan looks at Marissa and then to Seth and shakes his head, "It's okay…" he utters turning back to face Marissa.

"Marissa, I thought, this would be the hardest thing I have ever had to do, and it took me a long time to write my vows because I knew something was missing from it. And when I saw you walking down that aisle, I realized how simple it was because I love you…more than anything. I ask you to share my life with me, from now and forever. Whatever you need, I'm here for you. Always, from here to eternity. You're the person I was meant to spend my whole life with."

Marissa smiles, tears in her eyes and gives Ryan's hand a small, gentle squeeze. The priest then asks for the rings and turns to Marissa, "Place this ring on Ryan's finger as a token of your love for him."

"Take and wear this ring, as a symbol of my love. With it, I wed you and commit my life to you forever."

The priest then turns to Ryan, "Place this ring on Marissa's finger as a token of your love for her."

"Take and wear this ring, as a symbol of my love. With it, I wed you and commit my life to you forever."

The priest turns to face the guests, "By the authority invested in me by the state of California, I know pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride."

Almost instantly, Ryan pulls Marissa and kisses her passionately, "I love you." He whispers after breaking off.

"And I love you." Marissa utters softly with a smile.

"May I present to you, Mr. And Mrs. Atwood." Their family begins to applaud as they walked back up the aisle in the church, hand in hand.

"We're married!" Marissa says softly as they stood in the back of the church for the first time as husband and wife.

"Yes, we are, Mrs. Atwood." Ryan whispers gently, pulling her into his embrace.
