A few weeks later and Carla and Nick's special day had arrived.
Carla was sitting getting ready with Maria doing her hair and makeup and Kylie doing her nails. Michelle came into the room and handed everyone a drink.
"Carla I hope you know what you're letting yourself in for marrying into the worlds craziest most complicated family" Kylie laughed.
"Complicated? I don't think you've met my family, Kylie!"
Maria had just finished working her magic on Carla's hair and Michelle suddenly started crying.
"I'm just so happy you've found Nick and you're doing this." Michelle blubbered. "You've finally found your happiness."
Carla stood up and hugged Michelle. "Stop it or else you'll make my makeup run."
A short while later, Carla was now in her dress.
"You look amazing" Kate gasped when she came into the room.
Then, Carla's phone started to ring.
"Hello?... Yeah I'll take the call." she said, smiling.
"Hello. Carla, I don't have long but I just wanted to phone and say I hope you have the most amazing day.." Rob started. "I just wish I could be there with you all."
"Aw thanks Rob.. And so do I. I wish you were able to stand here and walk me down the aisle." Carla sighed, wishing more than anything that she could have her brother there to celebrate the happiest day of her life with her.
"I want to hear all about it." Rob said. "I'm so glad you're finally happy now."
"I am Rob. I really am happy with Nick." Carla smiled.
Nick and the guests were all now at the wedding, eagerly awaiting Carla's arrival. She was late but Nick had expected her to be. There would be something wrong if she had turned up early, he thought as he laughed to himself.
A short while later, Carla had arrived and was now standing outside with Johnny and her bridesmaids, Michelle and Kate.
"Are you ready?" Johnny asked as he smiled. He was delighted at the fact he was getting to give his daughter away and that they were making progress with each other.
"I've been ready since the day I met him." Carla grinned.
"Thank you for giving me the chance to do this. It means a lot to me." Johnny said, as the music started playing.
"That would be our que." he said as he took Carla's arm and gave her a smile.
Carla began to make her way up the aisle with Johnny. Nick turned around to look at his bride and his breath was taken away when he saw her. They both instantly grinned at each other and they couldn't stop smiling as Carla reached the top of the aisle.
Maria was sat at the front with Lily on her knee. The little girl had just woken and was dressed in the smallest, cutest dress. Carla bent down to her daughter when she reached the top of the aisle and gave her a gentle kiss before she went to join Nick up at the front and they joined hands.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss your bride."
Nick and Carla grinned at each other before Nick wrapped his arms around Carla's waist and she placed her hands on his cheeks and they both kissed.
Johnny looked on proudly as Michelle and Kate sat and wiped away their tears, hoping their makeup wasn't smudged.
"I love you Mrs Tilsley." Nick whispered into Carla's ear as they walked back down the aisle and headed towards their reception.
"Come on you, it's time for our first dance" Nick smiled.
"But Nick, I can't dance.." Carla complained, as he pulled her by her hand to the dance floor.
"You don't really dance to be honest, just follow me." He said as he wrapped his arms around her and she rested her head onto his chest.
"Wait a second.." Carla said, as she pulled herself away from Nick and went over to Michelle, who was holding Lily, and took her daughter into her arms before going back to Nick.
The married couple now swayed their way around the dance floor with their daughter between them, as they looked at each other with nothing but pure love.
A while later, the attention of the guests were all now back on Carla and Nick as they said a few words.
"We would just like to thank you all for coming to celebrate our big day with us" Nick started. "Years ago if you'd told me I'd be stood here married to Carla, I'd have laughed in your face." He said, causing a few laughs. "But now I couldn't imagine life without her and my beautiful little Lily.."
He continued as Carla beamed up at him.
"Here's to our long and happy marriage together, Mrs Tilsley." Nick said, as he raised his glass and Carla and all the guests did the same.
"A long and happy marriage"
