I know it's been a while and I'm sorry but here you are! :) This is the second last chapter, my first story coming to an end, *tear tear*

8 years on...

I never got nervous. Never ever, until today.

I stood shaking a little as I stared in the mirror. If I was honest I never looked better, my white strapless dress clung to me perfectly. My hair was tied up in a neat bun and my makeup was minimal.

My mother stood behind me telling me that it was going to be a beautiful day and how proud of me she was. I turned and hugged her tightly; finally mine and Santana's promises were coming true.

"Britt, honey, it's time to go." My dad announced as he put his head around the door.

"I... okay, I'm ready." I said as I picked up my bouquet.

"Sweetie, I love you and I know Santana does too. I just can't believe how fast you've grown up, it seems like it was just yesterday that you were first introducing me to her and look at you two now." My mom sobbed.

We hugged one last time before I hooked my arm in my fathers and we waited at the bottom of the aisle.

The music started up and we began to walk. I didn't even feel myself moving, all I saw was Santana looking as beautiful as ever. She decided to wear a little black dress because it suited her more than white, although I thought she would have looked stunning in anything.

My father kissed me on the check and handed me over to Santana and she gently grabbed my hand. She smiled widely; it was the best smile I've ever seen on her face.

"You are the most gorgeous person I have ever met" She whispered softly into my ear.

I giggled and returned an 'I love you'.

The ceremony was beautiful and it came time to read our vows. Santana started off and took both my hands in hers.

"Brittany, I've always dreamt of this day, the day where you finally become my wife. My future has never been with anyone else, it was always you. You mean the world to me and I hope you know that I am never going to let you go. I love you and want nothing more than you" A tear fell from her eye and I swiped it off her cheek.

It was my turn now and I met her eyes. "Santana, I don't remember most things, but I do remember everything you say. That's because it's the most important to me, you're the most important to me. I know I may not be the brightest but you've always made me feel special, feel like I could do anything. You're amazing and I couldn't ask for anything other than you. I love you San."

We were both crying, trying desperately not to ruin our makeup though.

Quinn then brought up our rings and kissed us both on the cheek. We slid on each other's rings and just looked at each other for a moment, taking in what had just happened.

Our dreams had finally come true. This was what we'd both wanted since we first met; now we are officially going to stay together forever.

We shared a kiss and made our way down the aisle pinkies linked. There was rice thrown everywhere thanks to Puck getting his hands on it. Santana was about to hit him over the head but I briskly pulled her into the wedding car. I hugged her and placed my head in the crook of her neck. I pulled back slightly to examine my ring and smiled gleefully at it.

"We did it, we finally did it." She whispered pulling me close once more.

"We're going to be together forever and ever."

"Until death do us part, right?" She smiled.

"Exactly."

As we pulled up to the reception I kissed Santana one last time before exiting the car. She grabbed hold of my hand and we walked in together.

"May I present to you Mrs and Mrs Lopez-Pierce." The announcer called and the attending crowd stood and cheered at our arrival.

We sat at the head table and listened as Santana's father made a very quick speech and then my own father got up and spoke of memories gone by. He spoke about how Santana and I had always shared an unbreakable bond and that we were simply meant to be together. I kissed him on the cheek and as he sat down Santana rose to her feet.

"I would just like to thank everyone for being here today. This is undoubtedly the greatest day of my life and I'm glad I got the chance to share it with you all. This woman has made me the happiest I've ever been, and the prospect of sharing the rest of my life with her isn't daunting or scary, it feels natural. I love you Brittany and I don't think I'll ever stop." She looked down towards me with fondness in her eyes. "I hope everyone enjoys the rest of the night here, thanks again." With that she sat back down in her chair.

She looked towards me, waiting for me to get up and speak. I stood up slowly and surveyed the room.

"I'm not sure if I can say it any better than Santana did. I want to thank everyone who supported us. To Quinn also for being the best friend we both could have asked for because Santana can be kind of a handful sometimes." There was an air of giggling around the room and Santana smiled too. "I want to thank my parents who encouraged me to be who I truly am and not to change. And I want to thank you Santana for being my soul mate. There is no one else like you San and I think it's a bit of an understatement when I say I love you because I really love you! So um thanks and have fun."

I took my seat and kissed Santana on the lips, smiling all the while.

We went to cut the cake and Santana wrapped her hands around mine as we posed with the knife in hand for the photographer. I cut a slice and grabbed some of the icing. I stuffed it into Santana mouth and she laughed heartedly as she returned the attack. I put a stop to it by kissing her and that settled it.

We danced the night away and fell into bed at an unholy hour. We consummated our marriage three times, just to make sure and fell asleep wrapped in each other.

Before we fell totally asleep however Santana held out her pinkie and I latched on with my own.

Best Friends. Partners. Soul mates.

The next chapter will be our last and so I think all who faved, alerted and reviewed it meant a lot and still does... REVIEW :)
