*A/N: This is going to be really weird because like it's breaking the 4th wall or whatever... But I really wanted this song for our *SPOILER ALERT* Wedding. I know that this is au and Harry and technically One Direction doesn't exist but I'm in charge and don't care because I literally want 18 to be my wedding song so screw off technicalities. Rule #1; Never Apply Logic To Doctor Who. (Jk rule number 1 is the Doctor lies but oh well shhhh just read losers)

Brookie's POV

Harry and I married in the spring of our beautifully, scarred love affair. Everything in its power had attempted to keep us apart but failed. Love conquers all, haven't you heard?

My wedding vows to Harry were nothing he already knew but they were said more poetically at our ceremony.

"You were my first and now you're my last. There seems as though there was never a time before you, and I hope I never have to witness a time after you. I don't know how simpler to put it other than: I love you. It's crazy how much I love you. It's as though you understand the deepest parts of me and you take them and put love and light into them making them beautiful. You're the type of person I strive to be. The way you talk to people and offer your entire love and affection onto people and to think you've given it all to me. We've gotten through so,so much to be here and this feels right. I have no regrets and the red flags aren't here. This feels like my whole life falling into place. Thank you Harry for being my personified home. You comfort me and make me feel safe and at peace. You settle the demons within me and make me see the good in myself instead of the bad. I'm not good at many things, but I do know that I will love you until the day that I depart, and even after. I finally understand why people refer to their great loves as their other half. I finally understand what ever song lyric and poem and novel meant when they discussed love. But most importantly, I understand the empty thoughts the most. Because that, that is the kind of love so indescribable that no one could ever form it into words. That is the kind of love I bare towards you." I spoke softly as the tears fell from my eyes.

Harry began his vows, "Darling, the single most beautiful thing that has ever come into my life. Meeting you was by fate, so undoubtedly. Never in a million years did I think I'd be searching for a book and end up meeting you. We started off rapidly, from day one you and were an emotional whirlwind. Sucking in each other with every turn of our legacy. A love destined for novels and for the greats. That's us. We've came so unexpectedly into each other's lives but it feels like we were destined to be together. I've waited through a lot to be here now and done so many things wrong. But quite frankly, I'd wait 2,000 years a centurion to be with you. I would burn up Suns while orbiting a Supernova. I'd put you away in a library just to prolong having to say goodbye to you. Honest, I would. Because I dread the day we say goodbye again. Our life together had been filled with way more goodnight than goodbyes. So, my love, thank you for choosing me to spend your life with. I know I've hurt you so badly before, I know it's inevitable that I'll hurt you again, but I will promise that you will be the only person who has ever gotten to have my heart. Today, I submit myself entirely to you and that being said my heart only belongs to you as long as I breathe. The only thing that I ask is that you try and love me with even an ounce of the power I have for you."

I was a mess of tears and emotions and I didn't even care. It took me two attempts but I had finally gotten it right. Brookie Styles, I repeated it over and over again. It fit like a glove.

Our love had always been like great novels. I had always pegged us for more of romantic novel. Not a gothic. But like realistic stories, you never get to choose your own ending. If I could've chosen by no means would I ever of picked my ending.

We were cutting our beautiful cake. Harry surprised me by combining my two favorites, The Nightmare Before Christmas and Doctor Who, together.
We laughed as we sliced the cake with Sonic Screwdriver cutlery. When he laughed I looked up at him as if he was my world.

Have you ever seen a dramatic movie where everything kind of slows down and it gets dark in the corners? That's what the next moment of my life felt like. Like nothing was real as I watched my whole world crumble in an instant.
