So I lied! I had some time so I made a quick chapter for you guys because I love you guys so much. Nothing like drama in an AYWR wedding. But this is looking to be like a three part thing so – the third part with be up soon. Hope you enjoy and don't forget to leave me a review.

"Hey Layla!" said Adele as spotted the British brunette walk toward her and Phil. Layla looked stunned as she placed one hand on her chest.

"Adele… you look… beautiful. That dress looks incredible" she said. Her eyes then turned to Phil who had his eyes on his bride as well. "You look very nice too, Phil."

Phil grinned, "Thank you."

Layla handed the newlyweds a gift wrapped box, "Congratulations. I wish you all the happiness in the world."

Adele gave Layla a hug, "Aw, thank you so much Layla – that means so much to us." Phil nodded.

Layla grinned and looked around the house, "Have you seen Lea around?"

The couple stared around the crowd. "I'm not sure" said Adele.

"Scott went to look for her as well to talk about his speech" said Phil.

Adele sighed, "Maybe that's a good thing." Phil chuckled and then placed a kiss on her neck and caressed her waist in his arms. Layla felt a bit like the third wheel with the overly loving couple. She stared around the crowd hoping to see if maybe the Irishman was around – but he was nowhere to be found. She spotted Natalya and Alex sitting together in a corner.

"I'll leave you guys – enjoy your night" Layla said sweetly.

"Thank you so much for the present Layla" said Phil, his arms still tight around his wife.

"That's alright" she said as she walked away from them. Natalya shot up happily as she saw Layla walk her way.

"Layla!" she yelled. Alex stood up slowly, her hand placed on her stomach.

"Hello ladies" said Layla, "Having fun?" The trio gave each other hugs and kisses before sitting back down.

"Having a lot of fun" said Natalya, "Adele and Phil look so happy."

"Next will be you and Randy" said Alex giggling.

Natalya shook her head friskily, "No, no… no. We won't be getting married anytime soon."

"But would you like to be married to Randy?" asked Layla, "I know I'm not your closest friend but from what I have seen you two look as much in love as these married couples."

"We are in love… but we're still fairly new to each other. Maybe in a year or three" Natalya chuckled.

"I think Randy would love to marry you" said Layla, "He's crazy about you."

Natalya blushed, "I feel the same way. Actually – we're going to my home town in Canada next week. Randy bought me tickets."

Layla and Alex looked at each grinning like teenagers. "That's so sweet Nat!" said Alex, "He'll get to meet your family."

"Yeah, my Dad might be a little harsh on him – but I think he'll be alright" said Natalya, "I think they'll all really love him, like I do."

"Speak of the devil" whispered Layla as her eyes moved to Randy and John who joined the ladies. "Hello boys" said Layla.

"Hey Layla" said John. John cuddled his wife warmly and handed her a glass of orange juice. She took a sip and then rested her head against his chest. Randy gave Layla a kind nod and then placed his hand in Natalya's. The two gazed at each other before Randy pecked her lips. Layla felt a little out of place as she sat in between the two couples.

"Have you guys seen Lea?" she asked, "I don't really see her down here."

"Maybe she's with Wade" suggested John, "Or maybe try upstairs with Adele."

"Yeah…maybe" she said as she stood up. The couples didn't really seem to notice her leave. She wandered through the crowd and went upstairs. Once she got up there she felt even more unsettled at the number of rooms and hallways there was. "How are you supposed to find anyone here?" she said to herself.

She wandered through each room, finding one by one to be vacant. She opened another door and spotted a man in black trousers, he had a black shirt that was open revealing his chiselled torso. His hazelnut hair was brushed into a smooth ponytail. His blues eyes stared at her as she stood in the doorway gawking at him.

"I-I'm sorry" she said hopelessly, before shutting the door. Layla cringed in embarrassment before walking to the next

Drew grinned and then wandered to the door and walked out to the hallway, "Can I help you with something?" he asked her.

"I'm sorry – about watching you change, I mean" she stuttered, "I'm sorry… I didn't mean to walk into you getting changed."

"It's alright" he said as he noticed her British accent, "Who are you? If you don't mind me asking, I've never seen you before."

"I'm Layla. I work with Lea at the gallery" she said, "And by your Scottish accent and your familiar looks you must be Drew."

"Familiar looks?" he said. "Oh right you met my dear old man."

She nodded, "He's a very nice man."

"He is… also very hopeful" said Drew scratching his head, "Anyway were you looking for something?"

"Yes, I was just looking for Lea" she said, "Have you seen her?"

"No I'm afraid I've just been staying in this room" he said.

Layla looked confused, "Why?"

"I'm sure from the stories you've heard – you'd know why" he said sighing. "I was about to go downstairs for a bit. I need to chat with someone and then I'm leaving."

"Oh, well… it was nice to finally meet you" said Layla.

"You too." Drew grinned at her again and then went back into his room. Layla went on searching through the house.

….

"What possesses you to go after a married woman?" Wade argued. "How would you feel if some woman showed feelings toward Phillip? How would your sister feel? I bet you wouldn't like that."

"Of course not!" Sheamus shouted.

"Then what made you start to want my wife then? You hardly even know her!" he yelled.

"I just couldn't help it. I just felt a connection with her and my feelings just went wild" Sheamus explained, "I've tried so hard to repress it but I just couldn't."

Wade crossed his arms, he was livid. "So that's why you decided to go express yourself and tell her your feelings. How did that go?"

Sheamus lowered his head, "She didn't want anything to do with me. I haven't talked to her since."

Wade sighed heavily. Yes he was angry and disappointed in Sheamus but he knew what it was like to put your feelings out and then to have them rejected. "Look… I'm not going to lie and say I wish things were different because I don't. I'm glad that my wife didn't return your feelings but don't think that I have a little compassion." Wade sighed; he took the bottle of whiskey and glass and slumped into one of the stools.

Sheamus was baffled as he slowly approached him. "I appreciate it, Wade. I see why Lea loves you so much – you really are a good person. She's with the better man."

Wade poured the whiskey in his glass and gulped down a sip. "I like to think I'm the best man for her. But I do the stupidest things sometimes and I always make her upset. I'm sure if she were to be with you or anyone else then they wouldn't hurt her. You see I always hurt her."

Sheamus shook his head, "But you always make her happy. I see it, whenever she sees you it's like you brighten her life. She never looked at me like that – she only saw me as a friend but you mean everything to her."

"I feel like sometimes I just spoil our relationship over the most idiotic things… I mean that's why we were so disconnected these past few weeks" said Wade as he took another gulp. "Then you enter her life – you're kind and sweet to her. You're there for her. I saw that you two were getting close. It was killing me. I kept wondering whether Lea might get sick of me and my bullshit and then leave me. Maybe she'd want to start something with you, maybe not but still I never tell her but I was scared that she would go."

"But she hasn't Fella…" said Sheamus.

"I'm sure she didn't completely reject you. I mean I was a complete dick and you were the saint she needed. You can't tell me that she didn't hesitate. I wouldn't blame her if she did with the way I acted with her" he said.

The Irishman sat in the stool next to him and pressed his hands together, "I'll be completely honest, the more you acted like an idiot the happier I was. I thought that she would come running into my arms."

Wade rolled his eyes and refilled his glass.

"But! She just wasn't interested in me at all. She never even looked at me as anything but Adele's older brother. I think even if you do stupid things she'll just always still love you." he said, "I hate that she loves you so much."

Wade chuckled wickedly. This evil smirk appeared as he glared at the Irishman, "You do know that if I hear or see you try anything to swoon over my wife. I will most likely slit your throat."

"Don't worry. I haven't talked to her since – I know she wants to still be friends and she feels bad for me but I can't talk to her" he said. "I wish I never felt anything toward her."

"Talk to her, you're going back to Ireland tomorrow you should at least say goodbye. You've been a good friend to her when she really needed one" said Wade.

"Just promise me that you won't hurt her anymore so that I don't have to worry about her" said Sheamus as he stood up.

Wade copied him, "I promise. I'll never hurt her again."

Sheamus smiled and put his hand out, "You're a really lucky Fella, do you know that?" Wade shook his hand firmly.

"I know."

….

"Adele… Adele" begged Drew as he followed the beautiful bride toward the front yard. "Please talk to me. I really want to say something to you."

"What are you even doing here?" she asked, frustrated with him. "The last person I want to see on my wedding day is you."

Drew lowered his head. Her words had hurt him. "I just want to apologize to you – for everything, especially for going to your house last night."

Adele tightened her fists, "I'm sick of these apologies Drew. Every time I see you you're apologizing or doing something that you're going to apologize for. Maybe you should just leave."

He huffed as he held on to her wrist. "You know I was really sad yesterday because I knew the biggest mistake I had ever made was giving up on you and letting you get away. Knowing you were getting married to Phil and never going to look my way again destroyed me."

She pulled out of his grip. "Even if I wasn't getting married I still wouldn't look your way" she said bitterly. "Why do you even care about me? You should just leave me alone. All you've done is brought trouble Drew, if it's not to me then it's to people like Wade who you say is your best friend."

His eyes grew moist, "I've made mistakes… I'm only human."

Adele ignored his plea and saw Phil standing on the front porch waiting for her, "Just leave Drew. I'm so sick of you and so is everyone else."

Drew saw Phil as well and then nodded to Adele, "If that's what you want, Adele. I am sorry."

Adele watched the Scotsman walk away and then flinched in regret, "Wait!"

The Scotsman turned around to face her, "Yes…"

"I think you should stay in your room- I'll come up later" she said simply and then paced toward her husband. Leaving Drew stumped with a small grin appearing on his face.

"Is everything alright?" asked Phil as she took his hand and they walked back inside.

She smiled and kissed her husband deeply, "He just needs to be taught a lesson."

….

The guests had taken their seats at the tables outside. Scott and I were waiting nervously both with our speeches. Scott decided to go first. I patted him on the back, "Good luck."

Adele looked even more freaked out when he stood up in front of the couple. Phil assured her that it would be alright; he then turned to Scott and gave him a wink. Scott chuckled as he stared out at the crowd in front of him. "Uh… Hello folks my name is Scott and I am the best man to this handsome man, Phillip Brooks. I just want to say congratulations to this happy and loving couple. Adele, I consider you as my sister in law and love you dearly but you still promised to let me have Phil on Monday's right? But anyway let me tell you about this lovely man here. He is my best friend in the whole world. He's been there for me through thick and thin and has never doubted me. You know when we were younger we would get up to so much mischief. I mean every prank you can think of – we did it right until we turned about 25 right, Phil?"

Phil nodded, smiling afterwards. Adele nudged her husband but listened on.

Scott grinned and carried on, "I could tell you guys about the stupid, embarrassing stuff we boys did but tonight I've decided to become a little classier and tell you a story about the first time I met Adele."

"Oh lord" said Adele as she covered her face with her hands. Phil beamed and pushed her hands away from her face.

"Now one day Phil took me to his work place, it's this huge building with about a gazillion storeys" he went on. "And Phil pointed me to this beautiful woman. He was talking about her and I couldn't really here because I was just… bewildered. I was just flabbergasted by this beauty and you know what I said to him. I'm going to marry that woman one day."

"What?" exclaimed Adele. She had been cringing throughout his speech. Phil howled in laughter and so was everyone else. Scott owned this.

Scott smirked. "Wait… I told the story wrong" he joked. "Phil said to me that day while he stared at Adele, that he was going to marry her someday and look he did."

Adele gazed at Phil, "Aw. You wanted to marry me then?"

Phil nodded, "I've always wanted to marry you." The couple shared a kiss and everyone applauded.

"Congratulations to the bride and groom" said Scott as he held up his drink. Everyone mimicked and took a sip. He walked back toward me where I was still clapping, "Wow they really liked my speech, Lea. Thanks for the help."

Adele looked at Scott and worded "Thank you." He blushed and smiled.

"It was all you, Scott" I said as I went to stand up in front of the couple. My heart was racing I hated public speaking. I looked through the crowd for Wade but couldn't see him anywhere.

I looked back at Scott who had his thumbs up and this encouraging smile on his face. "Hello everyone, I'm Lea and I am Adele's maid of honour. Can we all agree on how beautiful she looks tonight – she looks like something out of a movie. I think she's put all of us past brides to shame. But I just wanted to say that I know you two will have such a happy and love filled marriage because you two are perfect for each other. Marriage is a hard thing but with the right person – it becomes easy." My eyes grew moist for some reason, I don't know if it was from the light, the atmosphere or just me personally. I spotted Wade standing with Sheamus at the back. Both of them were smiling at me. Wade gave me a nod that told me that I was okay and I was doing fine. I was kind of surprised to see Sheamus flash a smile at me; at least I'm sure it was to me.

"I never knew that a job that I needed just to help my Dad out was going to lead me to making the most important relationships. One is with my husband Wade who made this beautiful reception happen" I said as I pointed to him. I watched him blush as everyone turned around to look at him.

Then I turned to look at the newlyweds, "The other is with these two, especially Adele. She is one of the kindest, loyal and most beautiful women that I know. She befriended me when I was new to the job and we hit it off straight away. She's become a sister to me and I just hope that she has a life that is as beautiful as she is."

Adele had tears flowing down her cheeks as she smiled at me. "I hope Phillip that you take care of her… otherwise my husband will fire you."

Phil and Adele chuckled and so did the guests. "But I know Phil would never hurt you – he will keep you smiling until you can smile no more. He is a very sweet and loving man and he is going to be a great husband. So everyone could we all toast the new couple, Phil is drinking Pepsi of course – Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Brooks."

Everyone held out their glasses and then sipped their drinks. Once my speech was done, the crowd resumed talking and the photographer was taking a million photos of the couple. I returned to stand with Scott who was grinning. "Awesome speech, Lea."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah it was really good" he said, "Great job."

"I think yours was much better" I said, "You had the crowd in your hand."

He smiled, "My speech was going to be about bums and boobs but you turned into something Adele even enjoyed."

"We both did a great job" I said as I clinked his glass with mine. "I think we made a good pair."

"Cheers to us" he said. I took a sip as did he. The music slowed and Adele and Phil were taking their first dance as a married couple. After a while as tradition other couples joined in and began to dance. Scott stood quietly as he watched the other couples. I realised that seeing Phil get married kind of left Scott alone.

"Hey, you can say no if you want to but would you like to dance with me?" I asked.

He looked ecstatic. "Of course I would! I mean… sure."

You had to admit he did start to grow on you. I took his hand and then led him to the floor where we swayed to the music. "I'm glad to have met you today" I said.

"Me too" he said, "If you ever visit Chicago you and your husband should visit me."

"We will" I said smiling at him.

….

Layla watched the couples dancing. She was sitting with Dad, Stephanie, Donna and Harold. They were talking about things that she hadn't even heard of and made her want to fall asleep of boredom. "Hey Layla" sounded a warm, familiar voice.

She gleamed with so much delight she could have rocketed into space. "Hello Sheamus" she said blushing; she pulled her hair behind her ear.

"Are you enjoying the evening?" he asked her.

She nodded, "It's been alright – your sister just looks so beautiful and happy. It must make you feel really good."

"I'm very happy for them but now that they're married I'm leaving to go back to Ireland tomorrow" he said.

She frowned. "Oh… of course." She felt devastated, here was the guy she liked but he was going to be in a different time zone tomorrow.

"I'll miss you" he said, "I thought I made a real friend in you."

"Right, friend" she thought. "I'll miss you too Sheamus."

Sheamus grinned, "Could I dance with you, lass?"

She blushed, "Of course." Sheamus pulled her seat out like a gentleman and placed her hand in his and the moved to the dance floor to join the other couples. Scott had left – he had to catch an early flight in the morning to go back to Chicago. I was watching the dancers and could see how much it meant to Layla and how happy she looked with Sheamus. I decided to find my own love.
