A/N: Well, this story has come to an end. It's time for me to move on and do other stories :/ BUT this has been my favourite one to write, ever, and I've just enjoyed all of the support you guys have given me throughout this, like, almost three year journey. Wow, it doesn't feel like it's been that long since I started this story. Although, I WILL be uploading an epilogue to this story, so please look out for that :) I love all of you so much, thanks for sticking with me until the end!

Disclaimer: don't own A&A.

Ally POV

"She should pin this to her dress. It would look so cute."

"Quinn, she's going to rip it off eventually and end up stabbing herself, so no."

The two of us, plus Leah and Trish, were all sitting around my dining room table going over final wedding preparations. It was the evening before the big day, and Maci was upstairs in bed already. Austin was out with the guys and was supposed to be back soon.

She sighed. "Fine. But we should add something to Maci's dress. Just to spice it up a little bit."

"Just throw some glitter on her and boom, you've got spice," Trish commented.

"No one is touching my baby's dress, alright? It's perfect the way it is," I said, putting my hands up as if daring anyone to say anything else. None of them did. "So, everyone is ready for tomorrow then?"

"Us? You're the bride," Leah spoke up. "We should be asking you that question."

"I've never been more ready for anything in my life," I said, before pausing. "Well, besides having Maci. Because I was so ready to get her out of me by the end."

"Preach," Quinn agreed. I grinned and squeezed her hand.

"Wow, I still can't believe you're going to be Austin's wife in approximately," Trish looked at her watch. "eighteen hours."

"I know," I said excitedly. "Although I'm ready, I'm nervous."

"You can kiss your last name goodbye," Leah said. "Or are you keeping it? For professional reasons and such."

"No, I'm taking Austin's last name," I replied.

"You could hyphenate your name," Quinn suggested.

I shook my head. "Nah, I want to take Moon. Besides, Ally Moon has a nice ring to it. It sounds better than Ally Dawson does, actually."

"Speaking of Moon," Trish said as she heard a car door slam outside.

A few minutes later, Austin walked into the dining room. "What's up ladies?" He asked as he shrugged out of his coat.

"Going over wedding preparations," Leah said.

"What? Ally, I could be helping you," he replied, looking at me.

I waved him off. "Oh no, it's nothing major, I promise. Besides, it's nothing you can do. It's fine."

He shrugged. "Alright, well, I'm going to say goodnight to Maci."

"She's already asleep!" I called after him as he went up the staircase.

"Don't care!" he called back.

My three friends stood up and grabbed their coats. "We should head home and get some rest, as should you. It's a big freaking day tomorrow," Quinn said, grinning like an idiot at me.

I nodded and stood up as well to see them out. "Agreed. I'll try my best."

"We'll be here bright and early!" Leah quipped on their way out the door. "So be ready for us!"

"Yeah, yeah, I will," I smiled. "Have a good night, girls."

"See you!" they said and I closed the door behind them.

As I was gathering up the stuff, Austin came hopping back down the stairs. "She was totally awake."

"What? I put her to bed an hour ago," I replied.

He shrugged. "She was sitting in her bed fiddling with her bunny."

"Well, is she asleep now? The last thing she needs is to be grouchy for tomorrow. The last thing we need."

Austin grinned and came over to rub my shoulders. "Relax, Als, she's dozing off as we speak."

I sighed and turned in his arms. "So? How are you feeling?"

"Well, I've got a few drinks in me, so fabulous!"

I smacked his arm as he snickered. "I'm serious," I said.

He grinned. "I know, I know." He pulled me in for a hug. "I feel ready. What about you?"

"I'm ready, too, but I'm nervous."

"Don't be, it's not a huge wedding," Austin replied. "Besides, you know everyone coming, and the actual ceremony is like, ten minutes long. It'll be over quick."

"Yes, I know." I leaned up to give him a quick kiss. "But I'm heading to bed. You should, too."

"Oh, I'm always right behind you when you mention the words bed or bedroom," he said seductively, which made me hit him again, except I bolted up the stairs like a giggling teenager as he chased me to our bedroom.

After we were changed and in bed, I spoke up in the dark. "Our last night being unmarried."

"Feels odd. Almost like this should be sentimental." Austin paused. "Maybe I should write a song about it."

I burst out laughing, but put my hand over my mouth to smother it when I remembered Maci was sleeping in the other room. I heard Austin lightly laughing with me.

"Okay, seriously, we really need to get some sleep now," I told him when I calmed down.

"Goodnight, Als," he said as I heard him shift so his bare back was to me. I could feel the warmth radiating off of his tan skin.

"Goodnight," I replied, smiling to myself.

"Austin, hurry up, the guys are here!" I yelled up the stairs as I bounced Maci in my arms.

I heard footsteps rushing down the stairs and he appeared, still in his pyjamas and looking totally unkept. "You look crazy," I said at the sight of him.

"I figured I'm going to be shoved into a tux soon, so why bother trying to look decent now?"

I thought about it for a second. "Good point. I respect your thinking."

He grinned and I set Maci down so he could give me a big kiss. When we broke apart, I gasped. "Holy shit, what was that for?"

"Just because I love you so much and in like, four hours, you're going to be my wife and that makes me really freaking happy because I just adore you, okay?" he said.

I smiled. "Okay, then I'm not complaining. I'll see you soon."

"I'm sorry, I just can't stop smiling right now," Austin said. He grabbed my face and kissed me three times before bending to kiss Maci on the head. "Love you both. Okay, I really have to go."

"Have fun spending your last few hours as an unmarried man!" I teased after him as he heading for the door.

"Same to you. Except you know, as an unmarried woman, not man." With one last wave and huge grin, he left, and I heard them drive away shortly after.

"Where are those girls?" I asked Maci.

"Home!" she replied.

"Well, they better not still be at home," I told her.

As if on cue, the door burst open and Leah, Quinn, Trish, Sheridan, my mom, and Austin's mom came through the door.

"Who's ready to get married?" Leah exclaimed.

"Oh, Ally, you look so gorgeous," my friends and family gushed.

"Yeah?" I smiled, admiring myself in the floor length mirror. Quinn had worked her magic on my hair; it was up in a curly bun with braids flowing through it. Leah had done an amazing job on my makeup; it was a soft brown smoky eye with a nude lipstick. My eyebrows were penciled to perfection, my skin flawless.

"You didn't get a vail, Ally?" Austin's mom asked.

"Nah, I didn't want one," I replied. "I think the dress speaks for itself."

My mom was close to tears. "Oh, honey."

"Mom, please don't cry, because then I'm going to cry and my makeup is going to be ruined," I told her, patting her arm.

My three friends were in their bridesmaids' dresses, which I had chosen to be dark purple that went to the length of their knees. My mom and Austin's mom had done their hair for them, and I had to say, I had definitely underestimated their talents. Quinn's hair was in a slick ponytail, her straight across bangs hanging perfectly. Leah's was just curled, and my mom had straightened Trish's ringlets so that they hung in beautiful waves.

"You guys look gorgeous, too," I smiled. "And of course, my little baby and Sheridan look stunning as well!"

Sheridan and Maci were the flower girls, so they were dressed in the same dress, which was a baby pink colour. Their hair matched as well, with two pigtails.

"Come on, we'd better get down there!" Austin's mom said.

As I waited for my dad to come find me, Jesse came into the foyer. "Wow," he said.

I smiled at him. "Really?"

He nodded. "Yes, really. You look beautiful," he said, giving me a hug. "My little sister is growing up."

"Oh hush, I'm a year younger than you," I teased. "But thank you."

"I'll see you later," he smiled, kissing my forehead.

I gave his hand a squeeze and he left.

"Alright, you ready, sweetie?" my dad asked as he arrived.

"Yeah," I smiled. "But I've got butterflies."

"That's normal," he said. "You look beautiful, Ally. Austin is a very lucky man."

"Thanks, dad," I replied with a grin. "And damn right he is."

The music started, and I linked arms with my dad. "Alright, daddy. Let's do this."

As soon as those big doors opened, and I saw all of my friends and family as I walked down the aisle, my nerves started to calm down. But as soon as I locked eyes with Austin, my nerves totally subsided, and it was just the two of us.

Austin seemed to be feeling the same as I did, because he put his hands over his mouth as he grinned and I could see that he was crying.

When I got to the front and my dad handed me over to Austin, my eyes started to well up. "You know when you cry, I cry, right?" I whispered to him as the minister started talking.

"I can't help it, you look so perfect," he whispered back.

I smiled as a tear dropped from my eyes and he reached down to brush it away. The rest of the minister dude talking was kind of a blur to me until we had to say our vows.

Austin went first. "Ally, the first time we spoke, you were yelling at me for playing the drums in your dad's store with corndogs." Everybody laughed at that. "Oh, you all laugh, but it's true. I still don't know if it was for playing the drums, or for eating corndogs."

"It was the drums. Plus, no eating in the store," I interjected, which made everyone laugh even harder.

"Well, now that we've cleared that up," Austin said. "Anyway, after that, I proceeded to steal one of your songs and take credit for it. I was a ruthless teenager. But you still managed to forgive me and we became music partners. Shortly after that, best friends. I could literally tell you anything because I trusted you more than I had ever trusted anyone in my life. Sorry Dez. You helped me overcome so many obstacles in my life and for that, I am truly grateful." He paused to try and compose himself a little bit because he was starting to get really emotional, but it was to no avail. "I can't even begin to tell you how much you mean to me; there isn't enough breath in my body to do that. Even through our ups and downs, and we've had a lot, and having Maci, we've still come back to each other because that's what people do who love each other. You had to become a mother at a young age, but god, you are so good at it. I can't even imagine our lives without Maci now. And I promise to love you until the day I die. You can't have Austin without Ally because there's no way I can or want to make it without you."

"Wow, those are going to be tough to beat," I laughed through my tears. "Okay." I unfolded my paper. "Damn it, why do you have to do that to me?" I asked, making everybody laugh again.

"Austin. The first time we met, you were right; you were playing the drums with corndogs, which by the way, was disgusting. But I overlooked that because I thought, wow, this guy is cute." Austin laughed. "Yes, you stole my song, and oh boy, was I mad. We went through that phase where we were kind of awkward around each other and at one point, you even made it your mission to cover yourself in fake tan until you were orange so that I wouldn't have a crush on you. Unfortunately, it didn't work, because before I knew it, I was falling for you hard and fast. We ended up together after a while and I've gotta say, after that, our love for each other just grew stronger. You helped me overcome my stage fright, you made me believe that I could do anything, and for that, I'm so grateful. You've made me cry, scream, laugh, smile, hit you, yell, and even swear like a sailor, but all of those effects you have on me are what make me love you more and more each day. You make me a better person, Austin, and you're an amazing father to our little girl. I want nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with you." I unfolded my paper. "I think I win." The crowd erupted into laughter as Austin and I bantered about whose vows were better.

We then exchanged rings and said our "I do's", and when the minister said to Austin, "You may now kiss your bride," Austin literally scooped me up, causing me to shriek and planted a big kiss on my lips. I grabbed his face and kissed him back hard as everyone jumped to their feet and erupted into applause.

After he put me down, the minister said, "Ladies and gentleman, for the first time ever, I now present to you, Mr. and Mrs. Moon." And then, just like that, I was married to the man of my dreams. Everything was so perfect, my life was perfect, and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.

"Maci has moves," Austin complimented as we held her hands and spun around on the dance floor.

"Guess she's inherited that talent from her dad," I grinned. "I can't wait to see her as a teenager."

"I can!" Austin said, eyes wide. "I don't want her to get older."

"Awe, I know," I said.

"Ally, it's time to toss the bouquet!" Dez said as he ran over to us.

"Already?" I asked.

"Yes, come on!"

He ran into the crowd with the rest of the girls, and I looked up at Austin. "Um, what is he doing?"

"Just go with it."

I shrugged and grabbed my flowers. "Ready?" I called to all the girls, getting a cheer in response. I turned around and blindly tossed it. I turned back around in time to see that Leah had caught it.

"Bullshit, you're still in high school!" Quinn yelled, making everyone around her laugh.

Dez stomped over to us. "That was supposed to be my bouquet."

I reached over and patted his shoulder. "You can have the flowers in all of the vases on the tables when the wedding is over, okay?"

"Sweet!" he exclaimed, giving me a hug. "Thanks, Ally!"

"Anytime," I smiled as he went off to join the crowd dancing.

As I glanced out at the crowd of our friends and family dancing and having a good time, I smiled. I spotted Cassidy dancing with my friends and caught her eye. She had come over to us before and congratulated us, so this time, we just smiled at each other.

"Shall we rejoin our wedding party, Mrs. Moon?" Austin asked, holding out his hand for me.

I grabbed it. "We shall, Mr. Moon."

A/N: And there you have it! Hopefully I did it justice, it was actually rather hard to write this chapter because I wanted to get a lot of the wedding in here, but I didn't want to overdo it. I don't know, I hope you guys liked it :) And remember, watch for that epilogue! 3333

Again, thank you guys so much, and I love you all. You're so fabulous, every one of you. Watch for future stories, and keep following Hate at First Sight, because that one isn't over yet. I'll update it as soon as I can, I promise :)
