Leah's POV:
I had just finished getting my hair done, option to have it in a low bun with 2 bits of hair framing my face. I had my makeup done and just had to get changed into the dress. I haven't seen Y/N/Ns dress yet obviously, but I'm going to assume it's similar to mine, slim fitted, simple but elegant. I put on my dress and looked at myself in the mirror. Not bad. I took a deep breath and walked down the stairs to greet the rest of the girls, my mum, dad and brother who were ready. They all turned to look at me with massive smiles on their faces.
"I'm so happy for you sis", Jacob said with tears in his eyes, making me tear up. My dad also hugged me and I could tell he was struggling to keep it together.
"My baby", my mum said gently placing her hands on my face as she started to cry.
"Mum don't make me cry", I mumbled, trying my best not to ruin my makeup.
"Y/N/N is gonna want to rip that dress of you as soon as she sees you", Georgia said as my family groaned.
"That's not a sight I want to imagine, thanks G", Jacob grumbled making us all laugh. It started to sink in that I was about to get married as I felt myself starting to sweat.
"Leah, breath", Alex said standing beside me and placing a hand on my shoulder.
"What if she changes her mind?", I panicked.
"You're kidding right? There's no fucking way she's gonna change her mind", Keira laughed.
"We see the way she looks at you and how you look at her, like there's no one else in the world", Lia said softly as I smiled.
"Now let's get you married eh?", My mum said as we all left and headed to the venue. Once we got there, we all went to the rooms and left our stuff in before I had to go down. Y/N/N was already here and knowing she's so close is giving me butterflies.
"Ready?", my dad asked as mum and Jacob went to take their seats. I nodded as the rest of us walked out of the room. I stood back a bit with my dad as my maid of honours and Y/N/Ns walked down the aisle. Alessia, Katie, Beth and Steph all beamed and smirked at me once they seen me as they gave me a nod making me smile. Next was Em and Alex as they stood at the altar, leaving space for me and Y/N/N.
Wildest dreams, the instrumental classical version started to play as I started to walk down the aisle with my dad. Me and Y/N/N agreed on the song because of our love for Taylor Swift and how amazing the song sounds with the use of classical instruments.
We made it to the end of the aisle as my dad kissed me on the cheek and took his seat beside my mum.
"You look beautiful sweetheart", Y/M/N said softly as I thanked her. We decided to have her officiate our wedding, it just seemed right. I looked out to our guests and seen the Arsenal girls and the England girls, all turned round as Y/N/N walked round the corner with Paul. Wow.
She was wearing a similar dress to mine, simple yet elegant and she looked breathtaking. She had natural makeup and her hair was down and lightly curled. I could already feel the tears filling my eyes as we both made eye contact, smiling lovingly from ear to ear. It was like no one else was in the room, it was just us. How did I get so damn lucky.
Y/Ns POV:
After my bridesmaid and Em had walked off, I heard wildest dreams start to play and I knew Leah was currently walking down the aisle.
"While we have a moment, I'm so so proud of you Y/N/N, and I know your dad would be too", Paul said softly as I choked back tears and pulled him in for a hug. I asked Paul to walk me down the aisle in the absence of my father, it felt right to have him do that.
"Time to marry the love of your life", he smirked as I inhaled a breath and nodded. We linked arms as we walked round the corner to the start of the aisle and began walking. I looked up and immediately met Leah's eyes. She looked incredible. Beautiful. Fuck I'm so lucky. We both tried to hold back our tears as I got closer to her. Paul kissed my cheek and gave me a smile before he took his seat. And that's when I noticed it.
I looked at the empty seat then looked to Leah. She grabbed my hand and pulled me up to her.
"You did that?", I asked as a tear escaped from my eye which she wiped away with her thumb.
"He deserved a seat to watch his little girl get married", Leah said kissing my head as I buried my head in her neck.
"Thank you", I mumbled to her, taking one last look at the seat with a plaque that read 'Y/D/N Y/L/N'. I smiled to myself as I pulled back from Leah and looked at me mum.
"You know about this?", I asked as she shook her head.
"It was all Leah", she said smiling as I looked at her.
"Let's hurry this along then so I can kiss her", I said earning a few laughs from the guests.
"Alright then", my mum laughed as me and Leah held each others hands and my mum began to speak.
"We are gathered here today to celebrate the love between Y/N/N and Leah. You 2 are perfect for each other, and how you have both come out stronger after what you've been through, it proves that. I love you both, so much, and I wish you both every happiness", my mum said getting teary eyed as me and Leah beamed at each other. "Okay, now time for the vows", my mum finished as I took a deep breath.
"Leah", I said tightening my grip on her hands as she gave me an encouraging smile. "I don't think I've ever been as happy to have been pushed into a complete stranger than I was the night we met", I said glancing at Em as we both laughed. "I'm so glad you didn't remain a complete stranger, because after having you in my life for 5 years, I can't imagine it without you. To say we've had our ups and downs is an understatement, but I wouldn't change it because it brought us to this moment, and although my job is straining, I'll always come back to you. I'm so, so in love with you, and words can't describe just how much. I promise to be by your side, through the good and the bad no matter what, to encourage you to be the best you can be, to be by your side through your achievements, because I know you have so much more to give. I love you Leah, and I plan on spending the rest of my life showing you that", I finished off trying my best not to cry as a few tears escaped Leah's eyes.
"Not sure I can beat that", Leah mumbled through a cry as I gave her a smile, squeezing her hand and giving her a nod.
"Y/N/N", she said taking a breath as she gave me a soft smile. I could feel the tears brimming already and she's only said my name.
"I could promise to hold you, and to cherish you. I could promise to be there in sickness and in health. I could say 'till death do us part', but I won't. Those bows are for optimistic couples, the ones full of hope. And I do not stand here, on my wedding day; optimistic or full of hope", she said before Alex tapped her shoulder to say something but Leah shushed her with holding up her finger. She turned back to me and smiled and I hope she saves herself or she'll be getting no sex from me.
"I am not optimistic. I am not hopeful. I am sure. I am steady. I am sure that you are my partner, my lover, my very best friend. My heart... my heart beats for you. And on this day, the day of our wedding, I promise you this. I promise you to lay my heart in the palm of your hands. I promise you... me", she finished as the tears were streaming down my face, as were hers. I thought she was done but she continued to speak.
"Success is easy, I can succeed with anyone. But I want to fail with you. I want to struggle with you, and if the world were ending tomorrow, I'd want to take my last breath with you, because you are the most incredible person I have ever met in my life Y/N/N, and I love you so fucking much", she finished with a sob as there wasn't a dry eye in the house.
"I think I speak for everyone when I say, wow", my mum breathed out as she wiped her eyes. Me and Leah gripped onto each others hands as my mum began to speak again.
"Leah, do you take Y/N to be your lawfully wedded wife?".
"I do", she breathes out smiling at me.
"And Y/N, do you take Leah to be your lawfully wedded wife?".
"Fuck yes I do", I said grinning earning a few laughs from the crowd.
"I now pronounce you married, you can kiss now", my mum said winking at me as mine and Leah's lips met in a soft, slow kiss as she tilted me back slightly and the crowd started to clap and cheer.
"I love you Mrs Williamson", I breathed into Leah's ear.
"And I love you, Mrs Williamson", she said pulling back from the hug and scrunching her nose up at me cutely. We linked arms and started walking back down the aisle into the venue with the rest of the guests for dinner.
