Holly looked at herself in the mirror, trying not to cry as Kerrienne did her hair and Fiona put her shoes on for Holly.
"You ready for your dress, sugar bear?"
All she could do was nod. She was speechless. In a good way. She couldn't believe Jax had set all this up. Just so he could marry her. She stood up carefully and went over to Venus, letting Venus and Fiona help her into the dress, panties and garter before letting Fiona do her makeup.
"And the final touch, sugar bear."
Holly watched in the mirror as Venus put the flower crown on her head, starting to tear up a bit. She was gonna be married to man she loved more than life itself.
Jax stood at the altar with Opie, waiting patiently for Holly to come out. And then he saw her. Her blonde hair under the blue flowers blowing in the light wind. Her wet eyes sparkling in the dimming light and matched his own. The dress clinging to her in the best ways. But more than the dress or the flowers or her hair, he loved her smile. It was the smile he fell in love with. The smile that brightened his darkest days and warmed his heart. The smile that he would, and has, killed for. The smile that he would die for if she asked. He smiled back at her as a couple tears dripped down his face as he watched Holly walk down the aisle with Chibs, who was beaming. He took her hand gently when she reached him, clapping Chibs' shoulder before letting him sit down so Opie could start.
"I'm not good at this shit. But I've known Jax and Holly since the three of us were born. I've seen them go through everything. The tricky shit, the difficult shit and the shit that should've broken them a long time ago. And through it all, they've remained by each other's side. Now they're standing in front of their friends and family, a new promise. You two have anything you wanna say?"
Jax watched Holly nod and clear her throat, his own throat thick with emotion.
"Jax. When we were kids, most girls were playing with dolls and starting to plan out what it would look like when they got married. Lots of tulle, fluffy white princessy looking dresses and puppies and rainbows. When we were older, the other girls' visions of their weddings changed to include a hot celebrity to marry them and their favorite band playing. I was never one of the girls that planned out their wedding or what it would look like when I was married because nobody else measured up. They were losers that didn't deserve my love. They weren't you. But now, through everything we've been through, when I pictured us getting married, it looked a little different than this, but the feeling would be the same. You and me, standing in front of the people that we love, being watched over by the people that love us."
He watched as Holly had to stop, her voice breaking from the emotion that he was feeling too. And by the sniffling coming from the audience, they weren't alone.
"You gave me 4 beautiful kids, a family that's become my anchor to life, and a relationship that nobody ever sees outside of a fairytale. You've given me the world, Jackson Teller. And I will gladly spend the rest of my life doing what I can to make it up to you."
He cleared her throat, watching her put the ring on his finger that Opie gave her. He looked into her eyes, holding her hands in his, kissing them softly before looking back at her.
"Most of what I wanted to say to you today I said last night. But you're my whole world, Holly. You and those kids are my reason to get up in the morning. The reason I try so hard. I'm certainly not Prince Charming, but you're the princess that I got incredibly lucky to get. I never imagined I'd ever get this lucky to have the love of my life giving me everything that you've given me. I love you, Holly. And you will forever be my always."
He finished with another kiss to her hand before he slipped the second ring on her finger, looking over at Opie when he cleared his throat.
"And I promise to treat you as good as my leather and ride you as much as my Harley."
He smiled as Holly laughed, both of them hearing the SoA members say that along with him, shaking his head as Opie started talking again.
"Because we're ready to see you all kiss and be gross, do you, Holly Skye Pavlov, take this freak, Jackson Nathaniel Teller, to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
"With an emphatic yes."
"And do you, Jackson Nathaniel Teller, take Holly Skye Pavlov, to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
"Hell yes."
"Then by the power invested in me by the internet, the church and the State of California, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Finally. Kiss her."
Jax smiled happily, cupping Holly's face gently before kissing her passionately and deeply, everyone in the crowd cheering for them.
Holly walked onto the dance floor with Jax after taking her pills and changing her shoes. Her heels clacking against the faux wood of the makeshift dance floor, smiling as the music started to the song that always reminded her of her and Jax. she leaned into him, laying her head on his shoulder, her hand in his while the other held onto his shoulder as they started slow dancing to the slow beat.
"I can't believe that you did all of this for me, baby. You didn't have to."
"I told you the other day. I'd do anything for you, Holly Teller. And don't thank me just yet. You haven't seen everything yet."
"What else do you have planned?"
"Let me have more fun. Especially we can't have sex on our honeymoon."
She couldn't help but laugh, kissing him softly.
"Sorry about that."
"It's ok. I'll be alone with you. That's enough for me."
"I think this is the one time I'd understand if you found yourself in someone else's bed."
"Never again. Only you, darlin'."
She smiled happily as she put her head back on his shoulder.
"Good answer."
"I'm sorry your grandpa couldn't be here."
"He's still here. So are our parents."
"Babe."
"I know they're not physically here and you don't believe in ghosts. But I do. I think, right now, their spirits are here, watching their babies get married and begin the rest of their lives."
"You're twisted, darlin'."
"And you married me. What does that say about you?"
"It says that I'm twisted too."
"At least we're the same amount of twisted."
She looked back when the song ended and another faster song started. She looked over when Venus came over before looking at Jax.
"I have a bit of a surprise too."
She smirked as Venus took off the overlay, giggling softly at Jax's reaction.
"Ok, that's kinda hot."
Jax stood with the guys, watching Holly dance with Nero, taking a drink of his beer. They were set to leave soon, but Holly was having so much fun.
"So what happened earlier, Jackie Boy?"
"She's got a couple infections. Tara gave her meds and painkillers and said she'd have to take it easy with things for a while."
"That's not a fun honeymoon. If you were gonna have to wait for your old lady's pussy, you should've just taken the kids with you."
"Fuck off, shithead."
He laughed, tossing the bottlecap at Juice before looking over as Holly came over.
"Hey, darlin'. You eat anything?"
"Yeah, I did. Tara made sure of it."
"You ready to go?"
"Can we go say goodbye to the kids first?"
"Of course. I'll drop you off at Ope's, get our bags from the house and then pick you up. Is that ok?"
"Yeah. Let's go."
He smiled and nodded, getting up and kissing her softly, holding her hand. They said goodbye to the guys before he led her to his bike, climbing on before handing her his helmet.
"You ready to go wife?"
"As ready as you are husband."
