The Wedding

2 weeks after the media conference, it was the week of Evie and Benson's wedding. During the past 2 weeks, the couple and their two families have been planning the wedding at the last minute. 

With the help from Benson's older brothers and sister, the wedding is planned and wedding invitations were sent out to Evie's relatives and friends from the UK and to Benson's relatives and friends in LA and New York. 

On the day of the wedding, all of the guests arrived to the church. All of Evie's friends and relatives flew to the U.S. from the UK to attend, including Benson's relatives and friends from New York, also flew in to be involved. 

Minutes before the wedding ceremony, Evie at her family home, getting ready for the big day, along with Rebecca and Desiree. A professional hair and make-up stylist, does all of their hairs and make-up. 

After Rebecca and Desiree finish getting into their dresses, Desiree helps Evie get into her wedding dress, with a helping a hand from Fiona. "There, you look perfect.", Fiona sighed. Victoria and her three daughters came in to see Evie. "Not yet. Just missing the last touch.", Victoria replied. 

Victoria gives Jasmine the box that she held and Jasmine opens it, revealing a beautiful necklace of pearls inside. Victoria takes it out in her hands and Evie is amazed how beautiful the pearls look and smiles at Victoria, who walks up to Evie from behind.

"Please take good care of it for me. The last time I wore these pearls was on my wedding day.", Victoria sighed, putting the pearls around Evie's neck. Evie is stunned that she gets to wear the pearls, and gently touches them. "I'll give them back to you after the wedding.", Evie smiled. 

"No darling, it's yours now. I'm giving them to you as a gift, because you're official now apart of this family and you're now my daughter-in-law.", Victoria smiled. Evie is speechless and takes Victoria's hand and smiles at her. 

"Thank you so much.", Evie smiled, as Victoria leaves with her daughters, while Evie became concerned. Meanwhile at the Hawkes' mansion, Benson is getting ready with his brothers, who are his best man and groomsman. Then Paul and George come in to check on them. 

"You boys ready?", Paul asked. "Yes, Dad. He's ready!", Jacob replied. Paul goes to Benson and sees him wearing a black tuxedo with a white shirt and a black bowtie. "Let me take a good look at you, son.", Paul replied, as Benson stands up for his father. "You're now a man, Benson.", Paul replied. 

"I hope you and Mom are happy of me,  what you both wanted me to do.", Benson sighed. "We are more than happy, son. We are so proud of you, for stepping up for yourself and chose to settle down in life. Your mother and I delighted and Evelyn deserves you.", Paul sighed. 

"Thanks, Dad.", Benson smiled, as he and Paul embrace. "I love you, son.", Paul sighed. "I love you too.", Benson replied. Paul then leaves to head to the church, as George comes up to Benson. "Benson.", George replied. "Mr. Collins.", Benson replied. "Please, call me George. You're now apart of the family. My daughter is lucky to be with a man like you.", George smiled. 

"As in, being married to a billionaire?", Benson asked. "No, not just a billionaire, Benson. Evie is a bright young girl, who has never been in a serious relationship with a man before and you're the man who swept her off her feet. You're a good man, Benson and you'll look after my daughter for me.", George replied. 

"I will, I promise.", Benson smiled, shaking hands with George. Glen looks at his watch and realise the time. "It's almost time, we better get to the church.", Glen cried, as everyone starts to leave the mansion and head into the limousine, which takes them to the church. 

Benson arrives to the church before Evie and he and his brothers walk down the aisle as guests are seated and waited for the bride to arrive. Minutes later, Evie and her bridesmaids have arrived to the church by a limousine and George is outside, waiting for Evie. 

"Hey, Dad.", Evie greeted, as George looks at her, in her wedding dress. "What do you think?", Evie asked, showing herself to her father. "You look so beautiful, sweetheart.", George sighed. "Thanks, Dad.", Evie sighed. "Come on, it's time.", Desiree replied, as she and Rebecca walks down the aisle first. 

"Are you ready?", George asked. "Yes, I am.", Evie smiled, linking arms with him and they both enter inside the church. All of the guests stand up from their seats as Evie and George walks down the aisle together, with Benson standing there with a smile on his face. 

Evie smiled back until she and George makes to the end of the aisle where Benson was. George kisses Evie on the cheek goodbye, and shake Benson's hand, before giving her away and joining Fiona in the crowd. 

"Hello.", Benson greeted. "Hi.", Evie smiled, handing her bouquet to Desiree, and joining hands with Benson. As everyone took their seats, and the wedding ceremony begins. Benson and Evie began to exchange vows and then rings. 

Evie is nervous as Benson puts her ring on her finger, and Evie then puts his ring on his finger. "I now pronounce you, husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.", the priest called out, as Evie and Benson share a kiss in front of their families and friends. 

Evie is given her bouquet back by Desiree, and she and Benson exit the church with the bridesmaids and groomsmen as the guests applause for them. As the couple happily exit the church, paparazzis and the media press are outside the church, taking photos and asking them questions. 

"Benson! How does it feel to be married again?", one person asked. "It's feels great, I mean getting married again, this time in front of our friends and families. Yeah, it's fantastic.", Benson smiled. "What about you, Evelyn?", another person asked. "Like what Benson said, it feels great. I get to be in an actual wedding dress.", Evie smiled. 

Soon, Benson's bodyguards pushes the paparazzis and the media press out of the way, to let Benson and Evie get to their limousine and head to their wedding venue.
