'' There's my hubby-to-be'' Ally grinned one morning, as she wrapped her arms around Austin's shoulders, as he did some work on his laptop.

'' Hey. You're pretty affectionate this morning'' Austin commented, as Ally sat down on his lap, her arms still around his upper torso.

'' What can I say, I love my life. I love my career, my fiancé, my home, but mostly I love the fact that now we get to plan who gets to come to our wedding!'' Ally squealed.

'' Wait? We had to do that? Why didn't we do that before we booked at the Sunshine hotel?''

'' Yeah good point. Ah well they have the space, also Jack adores us so he won't pulling a few strings for us. So, lets get planning!'' Ally clapped giddily, getting off of Austin.

'' Do I have a choice?'' Austin breathed.

'' Do you want the ring back?''

'' Fine, I'll do it. But its not like you have everything planned out already, I mean, have you been planning our wedding without me?''

Ally just grinned. '' Oh baby, you have no idea.''

-x-

'' Alright, let's get to it!'' Ally snapped, half an hour later.

'' Uhm Goose pickle, what're you wearing?'' Austin laughed, as he took a seat on the nearest coach.

'' What? Its my go to planning outfit'' Ally protested, as she looked herself up and down. The outfit the young woman had chosen was quite interesting in that she was wearing a peaked-general's cap, military-style jacket, black shirt, jeans and combat boots.

'' Babe, you look like you're about to invade Poland. Also that riding crop your cousin left behind a few days ago doesn't help'' Austin chortled, pointing to the instrument near him. '' I'm not sure if I'm attracted to you or ready to declare glory to the vaderland.''

'' Oh haha, I'm dressed like a dictator, moving on. Here we have, all the people we may want to invite'' Ally said, dragging in a dry-erase board from the hall closet. On it was a list of essentially every person the pair knew, from their first Music Factory students to their closest friends.

'' Wow, you really went all out'' Austin said, clearly impressed by Ally's organization.

'' Hey, this is my special day, it has to be perfect.''

'' You mean our special day Ally.''

'' Sure, whatever. So, listen, family wise, who do we want?'' Ally barked, picking up the riding crop and smacking it against the board.

'' Well of course my parents, they've been with us through thick and thin, every step of the way'' Austin remarked.

'' True, and of course mine are coming'' Ally said, sadly.

'' You ok?'' Austin asked, putting a hand on Ally's shoulder.

'' Fine. It's just, every scenario I played out in my head about this involved my parents being back together, or having never split in the first place'' Ally answered.

'' Sorry, I didn't mean to-''

'' No! I know you didn't'' Ally said, sadly.

'' Well look, let's change the subject, distant relatives, naturally both our extended families are coming, I know for a fact that my great uncle Randall adores you.''

'' Oh, I know. Last Thanksgiving at your parent's place, I was cornered and told how gorgeous I was or how I should ditch the zero and go for the hero.''

'' He said that? Called me a zero? The guy is in his late 70s and still works at a Dairy Queen earning minimum wage. The dick. I'm not inviting him.''

'' No, its fine. I'm used to being hit on. Remember when we got back together at prom? You wondered why all those cute guys wouldn't leave me alone. Also Austin, remember that I'm a model, I can take flirtation from older men.''

'' Fine, but I'm making sure that his newest girlfriend keeps him away from the booze. The last thing I want is for him to yell something racist or homophobic.''

'' So, you basically don't want a stereotype at our wedding?''

'' Precisely! Also, I'll want to have my grandparents, all four of them please.''

'' Please?'' Ally giggled. '' Austin, you don't have to ask my permission to have anyone at our wedding, I'm not some wedding fascist who'll forbid you to have anyone I don't approve of.''

'' You want me to bring up the outfit?''

'' You want me to call this whole thing off?'' Ally threatened, smirking.

'' You win. But enough about my family, let's move onto yours. We already decided to have your parents come, I mean, it was you dad's music store that got us to meet, and your mom's book got you to overcome your stage fright which led to the greatest kiss of my life.''

Ally beamed, as she nuzzled into Austin's torso. He really was the nicest guy she'd ever met.

'' Besides my mom and dad, on my mom's side there are my aunt Camille, her boyfriend Ray and their two kids, along with my mom's five other cousins.''

'' You never mentioned them before.''

'' Well, they sided with my mom during the divorce, I don't see them much and I'm not sure that they like me in any way shape or form.''

'' They why invite them?''

'' They're still my family Austin. They deserve to be there. But besides those guys, on my dad's side there are his parents, including your favorite grandma'' Ally winked.

'' Cookies grandma?!''

'' Yes, cookies grandma. Now, there's also my uncle Al, his wife Christine and their three kids. They're all so sweet.''

'' Aren't they all like 5?'' Austin asked.

'' Yes. Al was born when my dad was 23, why?''

'' No reason. So, I think its time we focused on our friends. We've already decided on who's in our wedding party so I guess we can start narrowing down on who else we want.''

'' Sounds good. I think we should invite Gavin.''

'' Gavin'' Austin softly growled. '' You want to invite your ex-boyfriend to the wedding? I almost lost you to him back when we were 17.''

'' Austin, he's still a good friend. Besides, we have each other now, we don't need to worry about him jumping up in the middle of the ceremony to declare his objection to us.''

That'd be interesting'' Austin smile. ''Fine, who else do you want?''

'' Elliott, I love the guy, he's so sweet'' Ally gushed.

'' Sure'' Austin shrugged.

'' Wait? You're ok with him? Why?''

'' Ally, you both showed that you don't like each other that way a long time ago, also, I'm pretty sure he's gay.''

'' Elliott isn't gay'' Ally giggled. '' Why would you say that?''

'' Trust me, I can tell. So since you're inviting ex-boyfriends, I guess I'm entitled to inviting ex-girlfriends?''

'' Oh yeah? Like who?''

'' Cassidy for instance.''

'' Seriously? When's the last time you even spoke to her?''

'' Yesterday, look'' Austin dug out his phone and showed an entire chat on his phone with her.

'' Wow, ok. Kind of weird that you wouldn't tell me that but ok. Also, who are the other exes you want to invite?'' Ally asked, her fingers making quotation signs in the air.

'' Kira for sure. She's more of a close friend than anything else anyway, also Piper.''

'' Kira, I understand, but Piper? I get that she's Carrie's sister, but besides that, do you really have any connection to her whatsoever?''

'' I'm just being polite. I can't invite one sister and not the other you know?''

'' No, no, fair enough. Other than that lot, who else should we invite?''

'' Well, we still spend a huge amount of time there, so should we invite the mall store owners?''

'' All of them? I mean, we aren't super close with all of them, the only ones that come to mind besides us and my dad, are Billl, pirate Frank and Miss Suzie.''

'' Then we secretly invite those 3. Pirate Frank, mostly because he's an absolute wild card and is definitely going to get hammered and sing a shanty'' Austin laughed, the visage too much for him to handle.

'' And Billl, willl definitely be stoned'' Ally added.

'' Also maybe if you ask nicely, Miss Suzie will give you a gold star.''

'' Watch it'' Ally smirked. '' Ok, we also should invite the original A&A Music Factory band members. That means Dylan, Max, Herman and Lily.''

'' We kinda have to anyway. We signed them'' Austin chuckled.

'' Hey!''

'' Kidding. You're so serious, you know that?''

'' That's just one of the things you love about me'' Ally smiled, sitting down.

'' That's true. Also, we're definitely inviting Shelby and Ridley.''

'' Well of course we are. Those two are some of the Music Factory's biggest success stories.''

'' They're also our friends.''

'' Yeah, that too'' Ally responded. '' You want to invite Violet too? You know, because it'd be rude to invite one sister without inviting the other?''

'' Haha. No, Violet's just a nightmare.''

'' Good. Now, we also need to invite Jimmy and Ronnie, you know since they're kind of instrumental in us even having careers at all.''

'' Kind of? We were doing awesomely without Jimmy and Ronnie but with them, we went from Pancakes with butter to pancakes with imported Canadian maple syrup, you know, except for Jimmy refusing to keep me signed as long as I was with you and Ronnie originally forbidding you from writing songs with me.''

'' Fair point. But you know, I feel like we actually became a better couple because of them.''

'' Yeah, I guess you're right. Also, other people on the invite list, Didi, JJ, Dennis, Donna and both of Trish's parents.''

'' True, also do you think we should invite Shiny Money? I mean, the last time we saw him we ended up sinking his houseboat, got him mauled by a 20ft long reptile and got him in a full body cast.''

'' Why not? I mean he loves our work.''

'' How do you know that?''

'' From the text he sent me saying that he loves our work.''

'' Fine. One more planning aspect out of the window'' Ally said, mild sadness in her voice.

And scene. Sorry this chapter is a little short guys, it gets better I promise. But until then, stay safe and stay awesome!
