"And here's the bouquets girls," Ella said, handing each of them a cream colored bouquet and Aria a large one with blue and white flowers. Hanna was pinning white corsages on Caleb, Toby and Mike, and adjusting the dark blue ties they each wore. Aria's dad came walking back into the room and Ella rushed over to him to fuss over him some more.

Meanwhile, Ezra was in the guest house, nearly ready to make his less dramatic walk down the aisle, twiddling his thumbs in anticipation. Taking a deep breath, he adjusted his suit and wiped his hands on his pants.

"You nervous bro?" Hardy said, slapping Ezra on the back. Ezra sighed.

"Yeah, a little," Ezra said, downplaying his anxiety. Hardy laughed. Thomas, Ezra's brother came out of the bathroom.

"Looking good Tommy," Hardy teased. Thomas pulled at his rental suit and sighed. He was a year older than Aria, but his maturity was much lower than hers, and he was very close to Aria's younger brother, Mike.

"Shut-up Hardy," Thomas said, smacking his hand against Hardy's head. Ezra just watched them goof around, swallowing hard to attempt to calm his nerves.

Ezra didn't sleep at all the night before, which was ridiculous considering he was more excited and anxious than nervous. He hadn't been able to see Aria for the past couple days; she had been staying out with her friends and crashing at their houses, and he truly missed her. A smile came over his face as he realized that he would be able to see her within a few minutes, and he could only imagine how beautiful she looked, she never ceased to amaze him. Butterflies in his stomach, Ezra paced over to the window to look out at the land the Hastings owned, where, he in a few minutes would be getting married.

As if to taunt his thoughts, there was a quiet knock on the door, and the pastor walked in.

"Ready to go, boys?" He asked, a grin on his face when he saw Ezra's expression. Ezra straightened up at the sound of the man's voice. After all, he was just marrying Aria, the girl he trusted with all his secrets, the girl he would soon vow to spend forever with.

A few minutes later Ezra and his best men walked down the aisle, and he stood at the head of the aisle, hands clasped but head high. Guests on either side of the aisle mingled quietly, ever so often turning their heads and smiling up at the boys. Soon, the soft music of the piano faded, and a new march as old as time began. Ezra took a deep breath as he first saw his niece Lily and his nephew Adam round the corner, stumbling over their small limbs but wide grins on both of their faces. Next came Emily and Mike, followed by Hanna and Caleb, Hanna winking teasingly at Ezra before taking her position next to the alter. Finally, Spencer and Toby, arm in arm made the descend down the small aisle. The music paused, and then built as Ezra realized the next thing he would see would be his beautiful wife to be. Vaguely realizing the guests were rising, he stood up taller, took a deep breath and smiled. As Aria and her father turned the corner, Ezra, as well as many of the guests, gasped.

Ezra grinned from ear to ear, and Aria smiled right back at him. She looks breathtaking, Ezra thought to himself, and had to force himself not to run down the aisle to meet her. Each step she took was too small, too slow, and Ezra longed for her to hurry up so he could say the words that would bound her to him forever. It was hard for him to take his eyes off of her face, her beautiful eyes that were locked onto his, the same he had fallen in love with in Period 2, so many years ago. When he did, Ezra saw how delicate and soft her hair sat on her shoulders, how her veil contrasted so beautifully to the dark tresses and flowed down her back. Next, he took a quick look at her dress and realized how utterly stunning his beautiful, smart, caring, thoughtful, selfless bride was. The dress couldn't have fit Aria's personality any better. It was then that Ezra realized he had tears in his eyes, and how much in awe he really was. On her father's arm, Aria smiled her famous smile at Ezra, and winked.

Once she reached the alter, Byron place Aria's hand in Ezra's and clapped him on the shoulder. The familiar touch of Ezra left Aria feeling safe and at home, and as she turned to face her soon to be husband, she realized a tear has escaped out of the corner of her eye. Before she could reach up and brush it away, Ezra's hand was already there, brushing her tear away, his hand lingering perhaps a few seconds too long for in front of an audience. The priest spoke, and after a few words, he told Aria and Ezra it was time for their vows. Aria glanced up and smiled at Ezra before turning away slightly to grab a piece of paper from Spencer.

"Ezra," Aria started, looking up into his blue eyes. "I've always known that this love was right. That you and I were right, no matter the circumstances, no matter the boundaries or obstacles we've had to face. The hard times only made us stronger, and the beautiful times only made me happier." Ezra grinned. "I think that a love like ours doesn't come around that often. I never expected to feel the way I do about you for anyone. I never thought that I'd be so lucky as to fall in love so deeply and so recklessly." The crowd tittered. "But I did. I got lucky, I found you, and I will never look back at the how or when's or where's but I promise to always remember the why's. Why do I love you? I love the way you look at me, even when I've upset you or done something wrong. I love the way you are always there for me, through the good, the really good, the bad, and the really bad. I love the way we have spent half of our life savings on take-out because neither of us can cook more than three decent dishes." Aria stopped to wipe her eyes as the crowd laughed. "But most of all, I love you because you are you, the goofy, clumsy, inspiring, smart, loveable, funny, you. And today I am promising that I will love you for you forever. I promise to love you as much as you love me, I promise to support you, to laugh at your jokes, to not comment on the messiness of whatever home we end up in, I promise to listen to bands I've never heard of, I promise to read anything and everything of yours I'm allowed without making edits unless you ask, I promise to, I don't know, take a cooking class!" Aria exclaimed, looking back up at Ezra, who was crying. "This love is ours Ezra, and my biggest promise is to never let it go."

It was Ezra's turn now, and he reached inside his tux pocket to pull out a long piece of paper.

"Aria," he started. "When I sat down to write this, I thought it was going to be easy. Putting my emotions onto a piece of paper is kind of my speciality." Ezra paused, and the crowd laughed. "This time, though, I knew there wasn't going to be a way for me to effectively share how I feel for you. Because there are no words to describe how I feel about you. Because, every day, you find a way to make me speechless. And if that's what I get for the next, well for forever, then I'll be the luckiest man." Aria blushed a deep shade of scarlet. "But, knowing that you would write something phenomenal, and knowing I would have to follow it, I decided I needed to at least try." Ezra and Aria shared a long look before Ezra looked back at his speech.

Best even at her worst.

Smiles that never falter

This is something I've never seen

But hope to see forever

She's more than just some girl

I somehow came across

I have three words. Fate. Destiny. Love.

Someone, something, planned this out,

And damn, what a plan.

Today I make three promises,

The first to never let her go

The second, to cherish her, to love her for as long as we shall live

The third, to never forget the fight that got us here, and all I have to give

Ezra looked back up from his paper, and into Aria's eyes. "I love you," he mouthed to her. She smiled and winked.

"Do you, Ezra Michael Fitz take Aria Rilee Montgomery to be your wife?" The priest said, snapping Aria and Ezra out of their private moment.

"I do." Ezra said the words that made him so happy, the words he had been aching to say for almost as long as he could remember. Slipping the simple wedding band onto Aria's hand, he realized she was his forever now.

"And do you, Aria Rilee Montgomery take Ezra Michael Fitz to be your husband?" The priest asked, and Aria stared into Ezra's eyes.

"I do," she said, not breaking eye contact. As she slid the wedding band onto Ezra's finger, she too was overcome with the reality that they were married. Husband and wife. Partners.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife," the priest said, "Ezra, why don't you go ahead and kiss that bride of yours?" The priest said, smiling brightly.

Ezra leaned in to kiss his bride, his tears finally cascading down; he decided he no longer had reason to control them. They showed how happy he was, and as Ezra and Aria kissed, his happiness was at an all-time high. He should have stopped it, the kissing, at a peck, but nothing made him happier than Aria's lips on his. As the kiss went on, there began to be some throat clearing from the crowd, Aria was forced to stop the kiss before Ezra tried to make a move with his famous tongue.

As the night went on, Aria found herself in Ezra's arms on the dance floor in the old barn, surrounded by family and friends and flashing cameras. Aria was having quite a hard time focusing on anything but her husband. Husband, she thought. That has a nice ring to it. Ezra was holding her close, and she rested her head on her shoulder. The cake had been eaten; Ezra had politely fed Aria a mouthful while she has shoved a piece in his face. The first dance had been danced, along with the father daughter dance, which had made Aria cry even more. The bouquet had been tossed, surprising both Aria and Emily as Emily caught it with a bashful smile. The garter had been, ahem, taken off by Ezra as he was egged on by his brother, but mostly Hardy, Toby and Caleb. The night had been everything Aria had ever dreamed of, and she never wanted it to end.

"I love you," Ezra whispered in Aria's ear, causing many flash bulbs to go off.

"I love you more," Aria teased, pulling back so she could see his face. Ezra shook his head and leaned in for a chaste kiss.

"No way, Mrs. Fitz." Ezra chuckled and he pulled Aria back to rest her head on his shoulder.
