The day of the wedding...

I stand in front of the gorgeous gold rustic mirror stood in the corner of Jo's apartment. I'm looking at myself as Jo walks over. "You wanna start getting ready?" She asks as she places her hands on my shoulders. 

For a surgeon, Jo was really good at doing hair and makeup. Teddy and Steph also made their way over to Jo's. My mom messaged me saying that her, dad and Emmie were on their way from the venue. They had been setting up all morning with Barbara and Daniel. Jo started to curl my hair and style it. She started to braid and twist and whatever she was doing she made my hair look like some sort of disney princess. 

Teddy starts to pour the Prosecco and hands out the glasses. We have to be at the venue at 1.50pm for the ceremony to start at 2pm. It was currently 12pm and my parents arrived. Jo finished my hair and Emmie started on my makeup, we did a subtle gold look with a nude lip. Once Emmie finished my makeup, me and mom went behind the shade and I got into my dress and shoes. My dad turned around so we could film a first look and I walked out from behind the shade. Jo put some yellow and lilac flowers in my hair before I walked over to my dad. 

My dad turned around as I stand there clutching my bouquet. I've never seen my dad cry until he took in every inch of me in my dress. "My baby is all grown up" He says as he walks over ot me and hugs me tightly. "Dad, don't cry because I'll cry and I can't ruin my makeup" I say as I hug him back. 

Jo looks at her phone for the time, "Right, we need to get going. The cars are outside." She says as she quickly gathers the bridesmaids bouquets from the table and starts walking towards the door. Me and dad take the first car and my bridesmaids and mom get in the other car. 

We arrived at the venue and Arizona had arrived just before us so she was in the little room waiting so we didn't see each other. I hear the music start and my bridesmaids make their way down the aisle. My dad linked arms and we walked down the aisle. We got to the end of the aisle and me and dad wait as Arizona walks down the aisle. I see her gorgeous blonde hair flowing and her elegant dress making her way towards me. Daniel passes Arizona over to me as my dad kisses my cheek and takes his seat. 

"Who would like to go first with the vows?" The officiant asks. "I'll go first" Arizona says as she takes out a piece of paper from her pocket. "Yes, my dress has pockets" She says as we giggle. "Y/n, from the moment I laid my eyes on you, I knew you were going to change my life. I've had my fair share of relationships but this one is something special. The happy moments, the special memories, and our shared interest in peds. I always seem to get lost in your beautiful eyes every time I look at you, I want to get lost in those eyes forever. I promise to continue to challenge you to be the best version of yourself. I promise to make you laugh, when you're taking life too seriously. I promise to love you unconditionally. I promise to put you first and never lose our spark. I promise to never stop singing my own made-up songs, although I know you wish I would. And I promise to keep you safe for as long as I live. I love you." Arizona says, her eyes slowly puddling with tears. I take my hand and wipe the tears before they ruin her makeup. 

"Arizona that was beautiful." I say as I take my vows out of my pocket. "My dress has pockets too" Arizona giggles. "Now y/n, your vows?" The officiant says. "Arizona, I always knew that something was missing until I met you. You took me under your wing from the day that I started at Grey Sloan. To see you beam that amazing smile back at me, immediately putting me at ease and brightening my day. I love that we started out as friends. That is my favourite part. You truly saw me. You understand me, accept me, in a way no one else has, in a way that I believe no one else can. You are my best friend.... I'm so grateful for our special brand of weirdness. To me, it means more than just being silly. It signifies a special, profound, unfettered love for each other. It's loving each other at our most intimate, vulnerable times. It colours our tapestry with yet unnamed, exotic colours, known only to the two of us." I say as I make myself cry and Arizona returns the favour and wipes my tears for me.
