Epilogue

Six months later.

Daryl was very nervous as he was planning on proposing to carol tonight, he had manged to pick up a nice blue Diamond ring on his last run out. He picked that ring because the Diamond matched color of carol's eyes.

Carol had just finished making dinner when she heard Daryl come through the door, she made her way into the hall to greet him, "hi dinner is nearly ready" carol tells him as she leans up to kiss him.

"hi sweetheart" Daryl says after kissing her back. "I'm just going to grab a quick shower, then I will be down."

Carol watched as Daryl made his way upstairs wondering why he looked so nervous, also wondering why the shower before dinner, since it normally took a lot of moaning from her to get him in the shower, unless she was joining him.

After dinner Carol and Daryl were relaxing on the sofa watching a film. Daryl was watching carol and he knew he had found the right moment to ask her, so getting up off the sofa he went to kneel in front of her.

Carol was shocked as she saw Daryl kneeling on one knee, she was watching him with wide eyes, she couldn't believe what she was seeing, when Daryl took a little black box out of his pocket, carol suddenly felt her heart beat faster she never thought she would ever see this.

Daryl could tell that carol was shocked, truth was he was shocked himself, in all his life he never saw himself as the romantic type and defiantly didn't think he would ever want to get married. But when carol walked into his life everything changed he knew that he had never loved anyone in his life apart from carol and he knew there was one else for him, she was all he wanted. He took a deep breath to calm his nerves down before looking her in the eyes.

"Carol in all of my life I have never met anyone like you, you are the strongest person I know. I know that it took me while to realizing that I was in love with you, when I thought I was going to die all them months ago you were the only person to keep me fighting, you gave me strength to carry on, I can't imagine my life without you. You are the only woman I have ever loved and there will never be anyone else for me, I know that is world is hard and there are no guarantees any more, but I promise you that I will always do my best to always make it back to you and to protect you. Will you do me the honour of making me the happiest man alive by becoming my wife?"

Carol could feel the tears running down her face, she couldn't believe that Daryl a man of few words had just told her the most beautify things she had ever heard in her life. "of course I marry you Daryl I love you so much and nothing will make me more proud than to be your wife."

As soon as Daryl had slip the ring onto her finger, carol flew her arms around and crashed her lips against his "I love it" she said between kisses.

One month later

Carol was standing in front of the mirror looking at her dress she wore which was a lovely white with pale blue Diamond's running along the top that Tara had manged to pick up for her, she couldn't believe that was about to marry Daryl.

Daryl was standing in the small church that Alexandria had. Father Gabriel had offered to marry the couple. Rick was standing next to Daryl as his best man "I'm so happy for you Daryl after everything we have all been thought, that you get to have this, you deserve it all, you and carol make a wonderful couple"

"thank you rick"

Daryl turned to see carol walking into the church with Tara and his heart skipped a beat she looked so gorgeous in her dress and he loved that the blue matched her eyes.

Carol took her place by Daryl, she noticed that he had cut his hair making him look even more handsome. The two looked into each other eyes holding their connection.

"you two ready" said father Gabriel.

Carol and Daryl broke their connection and nodding at father Gabriel.

"we are gathered here today" father Gabriel began "to celebrate the love between Carol and Daryl, who have gone through a lot to be here today, they both have brought their owns vows. Daryl, would you like to start?"

Daryl took a deep breath "Carol" he said as he looked into her eyes "before you I was on one, you were the first person to believe in me, who thought I was a good man, you never let me pull away even when I wanted to. You taught me that the past is it not anything to be ashamed of, you gave me a place to belong to in this world, you have even saved my life. Many people might not have considered the end of the world to be a good thing, but I do because it brought me to you, you are not only my best friend but also my life, I promise to do anything in my power to make you happy, keep you safe and to always fright by your side. I will go to the ends of the world for you. I love you"

Carol could feel tears falling down her face, as she looked at Daryl she could see that he also had tears falling down his face. "Daryl" she said "you have always been here for me when I needed someone, you have saved my life repeatedly, with you I don't always need to use words you can always tell what is wrong just by looking into my eyes. You were there for me when I lost Sophia, you help me though the worse time of my life, I know this world we live in now will always be hard but with you by side I know we can overcome it. you are my best friend, my man in honour, it makes me so proud become your wife, I promise to always be by your side no matter what life throws at us, to fright with you and not at you, to make you happy, I also promise you that if we ever get separated again I will always find you. I love you"

There was not a dry eye in the room as everyone listened to Daryl and Carol say their vows to each other.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride" father Gabriel announced

Daryl smirks at carol "come here Mrs Dixon" as he pulls her close to him and kisses her softly.

Everyone is dancing at the small reception that is held in one of gardens, no one has noticed that Daryl and Carol have left.

Daryl grabs carol as soon as they get through the front door of their house and smashes his lips against her. The two make it to their bed where they make love for the first time as husband and wife.

Carol is wrapped around Daryl with the biggest smile on her face, she knows that what every comes their way next, they will make it as they have each other.

"Daryl" carol whispers against his chest

"yeah"

Carol pulls back a bit to look into his eyes "you make me so happy and I'm so proud to call you my husband."

"I proud to call you my wife carol and you make me happy, I love you"

"I love you too Daryl"

Daryl kisses her softly "night Mrs Dixon"

"night Mr Dixon"
