Niall: You were sitting in a chair, having your hair and makeup done simultaneously. "This is the life" you said, and you mom let out a chuckle. You smiled. It was your wedding day. You were about to become Mrs. Niall Horan. You had been thinking about this day since before you met Niall, before you knew about One Direction, before you could even comprehend love. You were so excited to be getting married and starting a family. There was just one thing missing. "I miss dad" you said, and your mom looked down. Your dad had been in a fatal car accident last year. "I miss him too sweetie" your mom said, and you could tell she had been thinking the same thing. The room was silent as you finished getting ready and went into another room to get your dress on. Your maid of honor and your mom helped you put it on. "Y/N..." your mom whispered. You looked in the mirror and felt the sting of tears. "I can't cry!" you said, fanning your eyes. You walked out and your other bridesmaids saw you. They gushed over how beautiful you looked. There was a knock at the hotel room door. "No boys allowed" you called out as your mom answered the door. "Hello love" you heard an Irish accent say, and you froze with your back to the door. "If that's Niall then get out!" you said sternly. "It's Bobby, Y/N" your mom said laughing. You turned "Oh, sorry about that" you laughed. "Don't be. You look wonderful, Y/N" he smiled. You smiled back, feeling good to know that someone who didn't have to say it thought you were beautiful. "I wanted to talk to you about something, do you have a moment?" he asked, fidgeting with his hands. You nodded and everyone but your mom left the area to give you some privacy. "So, Niall told me about your father. I can't imagine doing this without him." You looked down, and you welled up. You felt your mom take hold of your hand and squeeze. "I know this must be difficult, but I wanted to see about how you felt about me acting as your father today. I could walk you down the aisle, we could dance together if you wanted to. I never had daughters, so it would be a new thing for me, but if you tell me what to do I would be happy to do it. You're about to become my daughter, so I thought I would ask you. Don't feel obligated, and I wouldn't be replacing your dad. Just being a stand in for him. I love you very much, for Niall, and I want you to be as happy as you can be on your special day." You were in hysterics. "That's the kindest thing anyone has ever said" you said to Bobby. You gave him a hug and you could hear your mom crying behind you. "I'd be honored if you would be my Papa Horan today." You, your mom and Bobby all laughed. "Ceremony's about to start!" your maid of honor called out. "We should go" you said quietly, wiping the tears off and cleaning up. You got to the door of the ceremony and everyone stood. Niall looked down the aisle and saw you walking arm and arm with his dad, and he started to cry. Later that evening, you and Bobby danced to 'My Girl' by the temptations, which the boys sang. You were so emotional. As you finished dancing, Bobby hugged you close and said "Welcome to the Horan family." You smiled and looked at Niall, and he blew you a kiss.
Harry: You woke up in the morning feeling like you were soaring. It was your wedding day and you were marrying Harry Styles. Your sixteen year old self was fangirling inside. You were in the bridal room at a castle you had rented out for your wedding. Your friend has slept in an adjacent room, and walked in right as you wiped the sleep out of your eyes. "Y/N, you bitch, it's your big day. I never believed you when we were younger that you would actually marry Harry Styles. Do you know how many girls are going to want to skin you after tonight?" You threw a pillow at her and got out of bed. You took a shower and got in your 'bride' nightgown. You spent the day getting your hair done and make up done. You were visited by your friends, your family and of course, your mom spent the day with you. You were missing your dad a lot though. He had passed away six months ago and you were still devastated about it. You tried to put on a brave face, but while you were slipping on your dress with your mom, you broke down. "I miss dad so much today mom. I wish he was here" you said crying. You mom hugged you, and she cried too. The day wasn't the same without him. You and your mom hugged, and you regained composure. You stepped out in your gown, and jaws hit the floor. You walked over to the floor length mirror and gasped. "I've never looked this pretty in my whole life" you said, whispering to yourself. Your mom hugged you and you and your bridal party went out to the ceremony area. You had a long walk down the aisle ahead of you, and you were doing it alone. Harry was at the altar, and you watched as your bridesmaids and the boys went down the aisle before you. "Good luck loser" Louis said as you walked past. "Shut up jerk" you said, smiling back. He smiled and winked and walked. You had jitters. You didn't know how you felt about doing this alone. The walking music queued and you walked out into sight. Harry covered his mouth and you smiled. You had to walk down three stairs, which you did gracefully. You were almost half way when you saw your uncle from your dad's side. He smiled, and the memories of your dad washed over you. You froze and tears attacked your eyes. "God, please, relax Y/N" you said, trying to force another step. "Y/N" you heard from behind you and you felt an arm link in yours. You turned and saw Ed Sheeran standing there. "Let's go, we can do this" he said. You took a step and got down the aisle, thanks to Ed. Harry thanked him and you asked Ed to stand beside your maid of honor during the ceremony. After you were married, you approached Ed. "Thank you so much. I don't know what happened, cold feet I guess." "Y/N, you know what happened. You missed your father. That is normal, and you're brave for even trying this. I know we're similar in age and you and I haven't been very close, but I love Harry like a brother and that makes you my sister. You can come to me for anything." You smiled, tears in your eyes. "Well, there's one thing... I have nobody for a father/daughter dance. I was just going to let it go, but it might be nice if you would dance with me" you asked hopingly. "I would be honored" he said. You mentioned it to Harry and he knew he had the perfect song, but wanted to surprise you. You and Ed took the floor, and Harry took a microphone. He started singing 'Isn't She Lovely' by Stevie Wonder. That was too much for you to take. You were a crying mess as Ed twirled you around. You were so happy as you danced, and you thought about how happy your dad would be looking down.
Liam: You and Liam were getting married at a garden in London. You were dressed and ready, waiting in a carriage a few blocks away. You were thinking about everything. Your new husband to be Liam, your new brothers to be in One Direction, your new life. You were thinking about how your mom was probably already crying. You reached up and touched your locket. Of course, you were thinking of your dad. He has passed away when you were young, and you missed him every day. You had the locket to remind you of him. You had your phone in the carriage, and it buzzed. You looked down and saw a text from Andy, Liam's best friend. "Ready kid?" it said, and you sighed. That was the signal to start the carriage. You leaned forward and tapped the driver. "They're ready for me" you said. The horses slowly trotted down the road. You got another text. "Whos walking you down?" Andy asked. You felt a tear drop down your cheek. "Nobody" you said. You turned your phone off and put it in the bag you were to leave in the carriage. You wished your dad was there to walk you down the aisle, and it hurt that you were doing it alone. You were so traditional, and this was the one thing not going to tradition. You could see the people sitting, waiting for your arrival. You were in a covered carriage, so you weren't visible. You saw Liam rubbing his hands in his pants and fidgeting. "He's so nervous" you whispered to yourself, smiling. The carriage stopped and the door opened. The music started and you gracefully walked to the door. To your surprise, an arm was waiting for you. You stepped down and linked your arm in the arm awaiting you. It was Andy. "Didn't want you to fall and hurt yourself, because that's something you would do" Andy laughed and you smiled. He walked you down and when the officiant asked who was giving you away, Andy said your 'new brother'. You and Liam smiled and went through with the ceremony. At the reception, Liam stood up to do a quick speech. "Y/N, as most of you know, has grown up without her dad. She has been incredibly strong today, and has been so brave. In saying that, no girl ever deserves to not have a special dance with a man who cares about her. And I'm not talking about me" Liam laughed and sat down and Andy stood up. He took you by the hand and walked you out to the dance floor. You were giving Liam the look. You asked for no surprises and here you were with your second one of the day. Andy put his hand on your midback and held your hand like he was a professional ballroom dancer. You laughed at his poise as 'You Got A Friend In Me' by Randy Newman played. You and Andy had fun, shaking your butts and even throwing in some other new moves. It was so much fun, and the best part was that you knew your dad was having a great time watching.
Louis: Today was the day. You were going from Y/F/N Y/L/N to Y/F/N Tomlinson. Come on, how can that not be exciting? You were getting all ready, shaving your legs and doing your hair and makeup, in a trailer you rented. You and Louis were getting married on a beach in a very laid back wedding. You had your hair in beachy curls and really natural make up. You walked through the trailer and sat at the vanity. You put a picture of your dad with you on his shoulders on the vanity. You held it and felt tears stream down your face. Your dad has passed away when you were younger and you missed him a lot. You were wiping the tears away and you slipped the picture into your dress. You heard a knock at the door. "Ready to go, Y/N?" you heard Paul call in. "Yep, ready" you said. Paul was going to drive you down the beach to the ceremony in a Rolls Royce that you had rented. "Y/N you look lovely" Paul said. "Thanks." "You've been crying though" he said, and you were caught. "Just struggling missing my dad. I wish he was here. It's tough doing this without him, you know?" you said. Paul nodded, and you walked towards the car. "You know, I kind of look at you like a daughter Y/N. You are just like Claudia to me. I want what's best for you always. You know that right sweetie?" you smiled and nodded. Paul had been like a dad to you since you met Louis five years ago. He even gave Louis the talk when he wanted to marry you, he would come over and fix things in your house and even came and met you to change a flat tire on your car a few times. Paul opened the door and you got in. You both drove towards the beach where Louis was waiting. "Almost there" Paul said, and you got anxious. "Walk me?" you asked. Paul looked shocked. "Walk you down the aisle?" he said. "You don't have to..." you said, feeling embarrassed that he was questioning it. "I would be honored to walk you down the aisle, Y/N". You smiled a huge smile, and Paul put his hand on your shoulder. As you pulled up, everyone stood. Paul got out first and walked around to your side. He opened the door and took your hand. You stepped out and the crowd gasped. Louis was smirking. The plan was for Paul to let you out and take the closest seat. Instead, he took your arm and walked proudly down the aisle. Louis smiled bigger and your mom cried. When you go to Louis, Paul kissed your hand and sat down. You did the ceremony and you glanced over at Paul who was still beaming. It was like he was your dad, proud to see his little girl getting married. You went to the reception and you were elated. The day had gone great and, while you still missed your dad, Paul and Louis were doing a great job making you feel special. It was time for speeches, and Louis's mom and dad made a speech, your mom made a speech, your best friend made a speech and the boys made speeches. You thought they were done, until Paul stood up. He walked over to the podium, and you lit up. You imagined your dad walking towards the microphone. "Hi everyone, I'm Paul and I am the tour manager for One Direction. I met Y/N a few years ago and I knew she was special and perfect for Louis. At first, she was shy, just getting accustomed to dating a teen pop idol. I am sure everyone can understand that. But as their relationship grew, so did she. She went from being a shy, quiet young girl to an outgoing, funny, caring and beautiful woman. She has become someone that Louis turns to in the most difficult times, and is incredibly strong. While I am not her father, I have been kind of acting like it for the last few years. Sometimes I get overprotective, even having some stern talks with Louis. Y/N is a wonderful girl, and she is very special to me. I am thrilled that she invited me to be a part of her special day, and I couldn't be happier that she is marrying someone who cares about her so much. To Y/N and Louis, and many years of bliss" he raised his glass. You stood up and went over to him, giving him the biggest hug. "I know my dad couldn't be here today, but he sent you instead. Thank you so much" you said, letting a tear fall.
Zayn: You and Zayn were going to be getting married in an art gallery in downtown London. The venue was cool and classy. You were excited to get married, and you had your family supporting you. "Y/N, ready to get that dress on?" your mom said. You nodded and the task began. It took you, your wedding planner, your mom and your maid of honor to get you into the form fitting dress. It was worth it when it was on. "You look amazing" your maid of honor said. "Thanks" you smiled. You looked at the door. Now was the time in the movies where the girl's dad would walk in and cry about letting her go. But your life wasn't a movie. Your dad had passed away when you were a little girl. You knew that he wasn't going to be there today, and you tried to prepare yourself. The moment still hit you hard, as you stared at the door, daydreaming of your dad walking through the door. Your event planner got a phone call and the ring woke you out of the daydream. "A few photos?" the photographer asked and you posed as she took pictures of you in the gown. "They're ready for you downstairs" the planner said and you felt your stomach do a back flip. You were to walk down a tall flight of stairs before walking down the aisle. You only had one maid of honor, and Danny was Zayn's best man. You stood at the top of the stairs as your maid of honor was getting ready to go. You saw Liam walk by down the stairs. "Li! Where are you going?" you called. You were super close with Liam since meeting Zayn, he had become your best friend. "I wanted to come find you! I knew you were past the doors somewhere" he laughed, running up the stairs. "Y/N, you look.... Wow" he said when he saw you in your dress. "This old thing?" you laughed. The wedding planner tapped her watch, signaling you needed to start soon. "I should get going" Liam said, turning. You grabbed his wrist. "Uh, Li, do you want to maybe..." you said, trailing off. "Want to what?" he said. He knew and you knew, but you needed to ask. "Would you walk me? I don't... My dad..." you said, feeling your throat close up. "I would love to, Y/N" Liam said, taking your hand. Your maid of honor turned and smiled, tears in her eyes, as she and Danny set off down the stairs. "Nervous?" Liam asked, trying to make small talk. "I am every emotion you've ever felt" you said, smiling. Liam squeezed your hand and the instrumental music played. "Time to go" you whispered, and Liam led you down the stairs. Liam having your hand was a shock to everyone. Last night, at rehearsal, you had done this walk alone. Now you were doing it with Zayn and your best friend. His hand was shaking and you turned to him, seeing his face serious. "Smile, goof, people will be taking pictures" you whispered and he cracked a smile. You looked at Zayn who was beaming ear to ear, both at you and Liam. Liam got you to the end of the aisle and gave you a hug, before walking back to his seat. You and Zayn said your vows, and you sealed it all with a kiss. You went to dinner and it was time for the 'father/daughter' dance. Originally, you planned to do a speech, but instead you snuck over to Liam. "Will you da-" Liam cut you off. "I'd love to" he smiled. You went over the DJ and requested a song that reminded you of your dad. You and Liam set up, and the opening notes of 'What a Wonderful World' came on. "I'm not the best dancer" Liam said, awkwardly turning you. "You're doing great" you said, smiling. You were thrilled that, though you didn't have your dad, you had your husband and best friend by your side.
