Hi everyone, I spent about 2 hours on the Daryl Dixon/Norman Reedus tag on tumblr last night and it got me in the mood to write so I'll literally be posting every day for a while now because I've got like 4/5 chapters finished for you all. Again, thanks for favouriting/following/reviewing, I absolutely LOVE reading reviews, it means a lot to me!

Anyway, enough rambling off me...

Maggie raked her fingers through her tousled hair and sighed inwardly, she looked anxiously from Beth to Carol and then back again, "I'm nervous. Is that not the most stupid thing you'll ever hear?" She asked.

"It's not remotely stupid." Beth told her, a small smile tugging at the corners of her mouth.

"It's stupid." Maggie repeated, she pulled nervously at a strand of her hair, "It's not like it's a real weddin' or anythin'."

"It's as real as it gets." Carol smiled, "You might not have a dress and you might not be dolled up to the nines but you've got a good man promisin' you that he'll love you forever." She took a seat on the bottom bunk next to Maggie and took her hand, "That sounds pretty real to me."

"What was your weddin' like?" Maggie asked.

"Small." Carol explained briefly, "It was one big farce. Ed beat me a few nights before, I was wearin' make-up two inches thick on my face to hide the bruises." She frowned at the memory, "Then afterwards we went home, Ed drank too much and fell asleep in front of the TV. So believe me, your weddin', however unorthodox, will be more real than mine and Ed's ever was."

Maggie smiled slightly, "You think?"

"I know." Carol stated confidently.

"He's ready for you." Carl interjected; he smiled and adjusted the hat on his head.

The three women got to their feet and they walked – in single file – out of the cell and over to where the group of survivors had congregated.

Carol's eyes immediately fell on Daryl who stood with his back against the wall a little way away from the rest of the group, they exchanged a look before the sound of Hershel's drawl broke through the chattering.

"And here she is!" Hershel exclaimed and every head in the cell block turned their attention to Maggie.

Carol and Beth had limited supplies, a bit of pharmacy make-up and a new peach lacy, frilly top Carol had found on one of hers and Daryl's runs into town, but together they'd created a look that caused Glenn to stare, open mouthed, at the woman of his dreams. She looked beautiful.

No one spoke as Maggie, Carol and Beth joined the group, but Daryl couldn't help but notice that Carol – for once – hadn't stood by him. Was she giving him the cold shoulder? And why?

"You look..." Glenn began, leaving his sentence hanging in midair, he didn't quite know how to articulate how beautiful she looked.

"I know, jeans on my weddin' day... I look silly." Maggie half-laughed, though the smile didn't quite reach her eyes.

"You look incredible." Glenn concluded as though the answer was obvious, "Jeans and all."

The old man smiled slightly and pulled a weathered bible from the inside of his blazer, he opened it to a bookmarked page and cleared his throat, "Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends." He emphasised the last sentence before looking up and giving Glenn a little nod.

"Maggie, before you I was living with no real purpose, existing in this crazy world we've come to know... I was a fraction of the man I am today. Then you came into my life and brought purpose and peace, you showed me what it is to truly love someone." He stated, voice thick with emotion, "I love you Maggie Greene, I love everything you are and everything you will be and I'm so proud to call you my girl."

Hershel, amongst others, smiled widely and nodded his head at a tear stricken Maggie.

"How can I put into words how grateful I am to have you in my life?" Maggie shook her head, allowing her tears to ruin her mascara, "I can't. This world is so dark and cruel, but you are my light in all the dark. You shine through all the bad. You give me reason and hope for the future, somethin' I thought was long gone. You make the fightin' worthwhile and mere words can't tell you how happy I am when I'm with you." She told him, "You're my everythin'." She concluded emotionally.

Carol wiped at a stray tear that had escaped her eye and dared a look in Daryl's direction, he was watching her too. She quickly looked away, hoping that he hadn't realised she was crying.

"I guess that makes you man and wife..." Rick beamed over at the couple who had been so absorbed in each other they'd barely noticed the audience who were eagerly awaiting their first kiss as a married couple.

"It's not official till you kiss." Beth pointed out.

Maggie grabbed a fistful of Glenn's t-shirt and pulled him close before softly brushing her lips against his.

The cell block erupted into cheering and whooping, as the couple separated, smiled at each other and kissed again.

Carol's eyes came to rest on the space where Daryl once was...

I'm sorry if this wasn't great but this fic has always been about Daryl and Carol and not about Maggie and Glenn so I didn't know how to approach the wedding. Hope it wasn't TOO disappointing!
