The Duke's Wedding (a free rein fanfiction)

The Ceremony

Faye's POV

She twirled in her dress, her daughter laughing with joy as the skirt danced as she turned. Faye kept doing it to entertain her, though she was about to get dizzy so she took it slower. She was determined not to get sick today.

Because today was the day she married the love of her life.

"You look gorgeous Faye!" Gabby cheered as she spun. "Rosie out did herself."

The dress was a ball gown, silver flowers embroidered into the skirt. Her veil was on a dresser. Her hair was left down the natural curls left untouched, a simple crown on her head.

"Thank you gaby." She finally stopped spinning, her daughter giggled and lifted her arms up to be held. Carefully, Faye did so.

"Auntie Gaby, you look pretty too!" She squealed. Faye rather agreed, the soft pink color of the bridesmaids dresses look stunning on her.

"Thank you, now your granny is waiting for you outside Abby, your mum will be there in a minute."

Abigail went running to her Granny the moment her feet hit the ground.

Faye felt a bit sick, and it was not because of the spinning.

Gaby sat her down, noticing her face go pale. "It'll be alright, you're nearly married."

Faye laughed. "Just got to get to my husband and everything will be okay."

She told herself that, she didn't know about the cake being ruined. Or that hidden amongst the guest was her fiancée's ex, planning her next move.

"Come on, it's about time for you to walk."

Zoe's POV

The wedding crowd was huge. The entire island came along with other royal members . Zoe saw other dukes and duchesses, and even Prince Harry and Meghan. She wasn't sure why so many people bothered to come, yet she was glad because it was easy to hide from security and from gaby amongst the guest. Paul had no idea that she wasn't welcomed here.

"Can't believe the wedding is at a real castle!" Paul looked around and then saw the royals. "Why are royal people here? Who's wedding is this?"

Paul stared at her. "Paulie. I told you it's my ex's wedding."

She looked down at her hands. Noticing some icing she missed on them. She took her shawl off and wiped the icing off her hands. Hoping he didn't notice.

"Yeah but who's your ex?"

She didn't have to answer because there was a sound and then men started walking down the isle. Pin looked as handsome as he did the other night, she had a good view. He wore a black suit with a pink rose pinned to is. His tie was the same shade of pink.

She saw Marcus, Alex, Aaron, Ben, Jade and man she didn't know walked behind him, escorting Mia, who go Zoe's surprise was pregnant, Winnie, Becky, Rosie, Susie, and Gaby. Two kids walked, the ring bearer was a little boy with the same skin tone as Faye, and a little girl with brown hair. They looked close on age. They must be Pin's kids.

Then the bride.

Zoe hated how beautiful Faye looked, an older man walked her down the isle and she joined Pin up there. She handed her Bouquet of roses over to gaby.

There was a camera recording the whole thing, Zoe smiled as she looked at it then at Paul. Paul had gone pale when he saw the bride.
She had to wait through the vows then she could strike.

Pin's POV

Tears stung Pin eyes as he took Faye's hands in his.

"Ladies, Gentlemen, and Nonbinary friends, we are gathered here today to celebrate the union of Duke Peter Hawthorne and Faye Winters. Thank you for bearing witness as they take their marriage vows." Pin's father was officiating the wedding.

He managed to forget about all the extra people in the room, that there were cameras filming, and that there was literally a prince in the front row.

None of that matters. Only she did.

"Peter and Faye have walked hand in hand together and have loved each other. Faye, Peter I believe you have prepared your own vows?"

Faye nodded, tears streamed down her face.

"We did."

Ted gestured to Faye to begin.

"Pin, for years you have been the greatest partner any one could ever hope for. You are the greatest person I have ever met and have the biggest heart. When I was a little girl I used to imagine what my future husband would be like. Never in my wildest dreams would he be my best friend and a Duke." There was laughter. Pin was crying. " I know you'll be an amazing husband just like you're an amazing father. You are my heart, I can't wait to be your wife. I love you."

Pin wiped the tears from her face and kissed her hands

"Faye. For years I was convinced I would never find my soulmate. I thought I was doomed to a life full of loneliness, you showed me a different way. You stole my heart, you didn't even try. Your smile brights the entire room. I feel blessed to be able to wake up to it everyday for the rest of our lives. Even that won't be enough time with you. I can not wait to be able to call you my wife. Thank you for everything, I love you. "

There was a collective Awww and she mouthed I love you. Pin squeezed her hands in his as the ceremony continued.

Zoe's POV

It was time for her to strike.

"Now that Peter and Faye have said their vows, is there anyone who objects to their union?" Ted asked, clearly about to move on.

Zoe stood up before being shoved back into her seat.

"What the fuck?" She asked loudly. She looked at the pair of hands on her shoulder and turned angrily to the owner. Callum sat there smirking.

"Hello Zoe, sit and shut up." He nodded towards two men who were coming closer.

Zoe almost said something but Paul stopped her.

"What is wrong with you?"

He nearly said more but ted had continued to speak.

"Since there's no objections, can we have the rings please?"

Pin's POV

Marcus handed Pin the ring, gaby did the same for Faye.

"With this ring, I thee wed, and with it, I bestow upon thee all the treasures of my mind, heart, and hands." They said it at the same time. Pin's heart hurt with how much he loved her. They were both crying as they said it. Pin hadn't cried this much since Abigail was born.

"By the powers vested in me, I now pronounce you Husband and Wife. You may kiss your bride."

His father barely finished speaking before Pin pulled her close and kissed her. They kissed deeply and held on to each other like their lives depended on it.

Cheers echoed through the room as did applause.

"Introducing Duke and Duchess Hawthorne."

They finally broke apart and laughed.

"God you're beautiful, I love you."

"I love you too." They hugged this time.

"My wife." He whispered into her hair.

"My husband." She responded.
