Ezra's POV
I smile to myself as I recollect every wonderful detail of last night. I finally have Aria back, and I plan on never letting her go again.
" Good morning princess." I whisper in attempt to wake Aria up.
" Good morning." She moans sleepily.
" It's time to get out of bed, Hanna and Caleb's wedding is today." I say as I nudge her gently.
" Fine." Aria says as she drags herself out of bed.
I let Aria get ready in the bathroom while I change into my tux. After nearly forty minutes, Aria finishes getting ready. I stare at her in awe when I see how gorgeous she looks in her bridesmaid dress.
" Wow." Is all I can manage to say.
" You don't look so bad yourself Fitz." Aria says as she wraps her arms around my neck.
" I'm so happy that I have you back." I tell Aria.
" I'm the lucky one here." Aria says blushing.
Our love fest is interrupted when we hear someone knocking on our door.
" Come in." Aria yells.
Spencer, Hanna, and Emily enter our hotel room.
" Ezra, look who decided to knock." Aria says glaring at Hanna.
" Lay off Montgomery, it's my wedding day." Hanna teases.
" I know, and Caleb is a very lucky man." Aria says as she gives Hanna a bear hug.
" Hurry up and come with us Aria, as a bridesmaid it's your job to help me deal with any problems that happen three hours before the wedding." Hanna says as she grabs Aria by the arms.
" Okay. Bye Ezra, I love you." Aria says as she leaves the room.
I stand in my tux wonder struck. How did I get so lucky? To think that I almost lost Aria for good. We have been through so much together, good and bad. In spite of everything though, Aria always manages to end up back in my arms.
Aria's POV
I sit in the dressing room of the chapel with Emily, Spencer, Hanna, Ashley Marin, and my mom. A professional cosmopolitan just finished touching up Hanna's hair and makeup. I stare at Hanna in her lavish white dress and begin to tear up. Hanna Marin is about to become Hanna Rivers, nothing will ever be the same again. We are no longer young girls jumping rope and playing with dolls, we are young women who are growing up and experiencing the world. I know that soon it will be Spencer, Emily, and my turn to walk down the aisle. I look at Hanna and realize she is tearing up as well.
" You look absolutely gorgeous." I say squeezing her hand.
" Thanks." She says hugging me.
Hanna's mom places the white vail on Hanna's head and kisses her cheek.
" Are you ready?" Ashley asks.
" As ready as I'll ever be." Hanna replies with a grin.
Line Break
After getting Hanna all dolled up, I find my seat next to Ezra in the front of the church.
" This venue is beautiful, you all did a great job organizing this." Ezra whispers to me.
" Thanks babe." I say squeezing his hand.
The wedding is lovely and everything is going very smoothly. When the priest finally proceeds to the I do's, Ezra looks at me lovingly.
" This could be us someday." He whispers to me.
Ezra's words give me the chills, the idea of marrying him is just to perfect.
" I hope it is." I whisper and kiss Ezra on the cheek.
Line Break
Ezra and I sit at a highly decorated table at the Hastings's mansion in The Hamptons. This is where Hanna and Celeb are having their wedding reception. After everyone makes their toasts to Hanna and Caleb, the party gathers around the dance floor. The DJ puts on "Happiness" by the Fray causing me to smile and kiss Ezra's cheek.
" Can I have this dance." Ezra asks me.
" Of course you may." I say as Ezra leads me to the dance floor.
I place my arms around Ezra's shoulders while his hands rest on my hips. I lean into him as we sway to the calming music.
" What are you thinking about?" Ezra asks me.
" How amazing this year was." I respond.
" It was pretty good wasn't it?" Ezra asks chuckling.
I nod my head in response.
" I have something very important to ask you." Ezra asks seriously.
" What?" I ask curiously.
" Come outside with me so we can talk." Ezra says as he leads me through the crowd.
Ezra takes me to the beautiful rose garden in the Hastings's backyard.
" Isn't this the most beautiful thing you've ever seen?" I ask Ezra as I pick up a little red rose.
" Second most beautiful." Ezra says looking at me.
" Stop it!" I say.
" Your cheeks are as red as the roses." Ezra teases.
" You have that effect on me." I tell Ezra.
A nervous look washes over Ezra's face as he takes something out of his pocket. Ezra holds a jewelry box out for me to see and opens it slowly. I gasp in shock when I realize that a beautiful diamond ring is inside the box.
" I'm really nervous and I don't even know how to say this, so here it goes. This year has been the happiest of my life, and it's all because of you. I know we've had our ups and downs, but together we can overcome anything. The only life worth living is a life with you. Aria Montgomery will you marry me?" Ezra asks.
I am at an utter loss for words, and tears of joy run down my face. Unable to answer his question, I simply throw my arms around Ezra and kiss him gently.
" So um, is that a yes?" Ezra asks nervously.
" Of course it's a yes." I say through my tears.
A smile washes over Ezra's once nervous face as he lifts me up kisses me.
" I can't believe I have to plan another wedding! So much needs to get done..." I start to ramble.
Ezra silences me with another kiss.
" Sh-sh it's okay." Ezra says grinning.
" You're right." I say immediately relaxing.
Everything is okay, my life is absolutely perfect. I never have to worry about Noel or A again, I'm a moving closer to my friends and family, and best of all I'm engaged to the most wonderful man in the world!
" I love you Ezra." I tell him.
" I love you more Aria." He teases.
I smile to myself. With Ezra Fitz by my side, life after Rosewood is turning out to be pretty great!
