You looked at your reflection in the mirror, your shaky hands fixing your hair, making sure each strand is in its right place. You set the laced veil over your shoulders and let out a huge sigh as you take a look at your final appearance. It’s finally happening, you thought to yourself… It’s all that you ever wanted…all you ever dreamt of during those 4 years you’ve been with Luke... No one was more excited about this wedding than you… Since Luke proposed, you were impatiently counting the seconds till the wedding day. Well you were going to marry your soul mate… your other half…The reason for your smile and happiness. But with 15 minutes left till you and Luke tie the knot, panic and anxiety took over your whole body. Every silly detail about Luke that you didn’t appreciate like when he leaves his dirty clothes and the empty pizza boxes laying all over the room or when he refuses to clean up after cooking or when he forgets to call you whenever he stays late at work…every fight you had with him…every night that you’ve both went to bed, not speaking to each other throughout the whole day because of a meaningless argument, started to channel through your mind, convincing you that marrying Luke was not the right thing to do. You paced back and forth across the room, taking deep breaths to calm your nerves. Suddenly, your phone starts ringing, interrupting the flow of all those hesitant thoughts. You grab the phone and sigh once you see the caller ID, your other hand only inches away from the screen while you tentatively decide whether to answer or not. You swipe the screen before shifting the phone towards your ear and then you hear that beautiful voice that can make everything much better, making you feel instantly guilty about your previous thoughts.

“Y/N??” his voice vibrates through the phone after you stayed silent for a few seconds. “Hey.....What’s going on Hemmings?? Are you getting second thoughts?” you joke even though you were the one who was uncertain whether you want to marry Luke or not seconds ago. You can hear his little chuckle while you try not to break down into tears over the phone. “Nah… I still want to marry you more than anything…......But Y/N..... can I share a confession with you??” he said with a trembling voice. “Yeah” you answer with a low pitch, clearing your throat afterwards. "I've been on stage many times in front of thousands of fans, but I've never felt this way before.They're just a small crowd of family and friends out there and...... I'm so nervous!!!" he admitted with an anxious laugh, now feeling a bit relieved with his confession. "I'm nervous too Luke" you blurt out with teary eyes. "I know....I was pretty sure you'd be freaking out right now" he said with a laugh, "you always do, like when you have a big test or presentation, or before you get a needle. That's why I wanted to call, to make sure you're okay". You let out a little titter as you walk towards the window and stare at the ocean view. "I don't want to let you down Y/N. I want to give you the dream wedding that you deserve..I want to make you the happiest girl on earth today and for the rest of our life together", he whispered softly over the phone, "But what if I mess up my speech? What if I start stuttering as I say my vows? What if I keep stepping on your feet during our dance? and what if-". "Luke!!" you cut him off, "I don't care if you step on my feet or screw up your speech or vows cause as long I'm marrying you, nothing matters to me". He exhaled in relief at your assuring words before sending out a little laugh. "Well in that case I'll see you in 5 minutes" you could easily sense his wide smile through the phone as he spoke .

"Yeah...I'll be the one walking down the aisle, smiling like an idiot and most likely in tears" you said as you take a deep breath with a smile now, looking at yourself in the mirror for the last time as Y/N Y/L/N.

The ceremony went so smoothly, you were crying your eyes out as expected while Luke said his vows beautifully, when you gave out your vows as well, and as you walked down the aisle . It was the first time you ever saw Luke in a suit and tie, and he looked absolutely gorgeous. Once his blue eyes caught up with yours as you were walking towards him, you forgot everything like you were the only people in the room. Looking into his eyes with a warm sensation in your heart and racy heartbeat, made you realize he's truly the one, regretting every moment you doubted the decision of marrying him and all the days that has gone to waste before he walked into your life. At the reception, everyone was enjoying the music, the food and each other's company with chatters and laughter filling the room and kids running after each other with their estatitc energy and wide smiles. Before speeches were given out, the moment that Luke dreaded has arrived...the moment where he needed to prove his abilities in front of hundrends of spectating people...it was finally time for your first dance as a married couple. Everyone was cheering and clapping as you both walk towards the center of the dance floor, you clutching onto Luke's arm. You look over at Luke as he let out a deep breath before he spins you once and pulls you slowly towards him. You interlock your hands around his neck while he places his on your waist, both swaying smoothly to the soft music. "Did I tell you how beautiful you look?" he asked with a smile. "Yes you did... you don't look bad yourself" you state with a little laugh, sliding your hands down from his neck and stopping at his chest while staring into his captivating eyes. "The most important thing to me tonight was to make sure you're happy with everything and you get all that you ever wanted" he softly said before leaving a kiss on your forehead. He unexpectedly twirls you again as you giggle at his sudden movement. You return into his embrace, moving closer so that the side of your head is close to his ear. "Well...I'm dancing right now with you Luke...I couldn't ask for more" you whisper into his ear before you rest your head on his chest.

"Y/N" he said after a few seconds of comfortable silence. "Mmm hhh?" you reply with closed eyes, enjoying his tender and delicate touch that you know you'll be getting more of.

"I love you..so..damn..much" he whispers as he kisses the side of your head. "I love you too Lukey"

......

"Hello everyone...thank you all for being here today to celebrate this special occasion...we are for sure witnessing a special moment right now...the first and last time Y/N will allow me to speak on behalf of both of us...So lets make the most out of it", Luke spoke in a trembling tone into the microphone after you both cut the cake and are left with the speeches to be given out. The crowd starts laughing at Luke's opening statement while he smiles nervously down at your direction. "Y/N and I have been planning this wedding since forever and a lot of people greatly contributed in making this day possible....So thank you to everyone..Y/N and I are so grateful for your efforts". You reach out for Luke's hand causing him to loosen up as you give his hand an assuring squeeze. "There are some people in particular we want to send our thanks to..So lets get on it...I promise it'll be quick and simple", Luke continued before exhaling a deep breath, "Thank you to Y/N's parents for raising such a beautiful, smart and kind lady...Thank you for welcoming me into your family...Never have you made me feel like an outsider and I deeply appreciate that". Luke then looks over at where his parents were sitting and a loving smile creeps onto his face before he speaks up again. "I want to thank two special people in my life...Thank you mum and dad for raising us to be strong at hard times, kind, and caring just like the people you are...Thank you for enduring all the hardship and those late working hours to make sure we've got everything we ever needed.Also, thank you for allowing me to explore and fall in love with music...I would've never become the person I am today without your support. Mum you promised me yesterday you won't cry....but now you're crying", Luke sighs into the mircrophone as his mother nods, brushing away her tears. "and now I'm going to cry" he mumbles into the microphone as his eyes start to tear up. "Thanks to my brothers, Jack and Ben, for your support and the love you've shown me all these years...Thanks to the bridesmaids for taking care of Y/N...She looks stunning and so do all of you ladies," he said before looking across the room and a wide smile appears on his face and everyone knows who he'll be thanking next. "Thanks to the groomsmen and the best man...we've been together through thick and thin...It was my absolute pleasure to share a stage with such talented lads...I had the time of my life with you all and I'm looking forward to create more memories....I've been blessed with the best bandmates anyone could've asked for and whom have become more like brothers to me. I love you boys" he said with a shaky voice, trying his best to hold back his tears. "Most importantly, I would like to thank the most precious thing in my life Y/N...You probably got sick of me telling you this but doesn't my wife look stunning today???" Luke asked looking towards the applauding crowd."Wow!!! I just called Y/N my wife...Weird!!" he continued with a laugh as he stared lovingly down at you, stroking his thumb against the back of your hand,"Now they say you only marry the person who you can’t live without and I think that sums up what I have experienced with Y/N. If I had to choose one thing I love the most about Y/N, it would be the fact that she makes me happier than I ever dreamed I could be...and I'm willing to spend the rest of my life making sure that the opposite is true as well. Since the day I met Y/N and throughout the couple of years we've lived together, I never had a problem finding the words to express my immense love for her, but if I start then I'm sure I won’t be able to stop. So Y/N, I'm just going to stick with I love you so much and I can’t wait to grow old with you....Okay before passing you over to Cal, my best man, please join me in raising your glasses to my beautiful wife who's my absolute world and to family and friends that are blessing us with their presence today...Cheers!!" Luke concluded before  cheers chorused across the room. He took a sip of his champagne before sitting back and releasing a deep breath, making you giggle at the terrified expression he still had on his face

"See you had nothing to worry about...You did great babe" you said with a smile, your hand still interlocked with his. "Having you by my side calms me down...That comforting touch of yours" he grabs tightly onto your hand and then places his hand over your cheek with his thumb tracing near your lips, "and your beautiful smile made everything better...Thank you for walking into my life Y/N".

"No Luke..thank you for making me part of yours" you said before he leaned in, joining his lips with yours.
