"Blackmail" An Austin Butler Fanfiction

A Hawaiian Dream

Fourteen months and six days had passed since Austin proposed to Emma on the beach in Australia. Their engagement had been a whirlwind of love and planning, culminating in the most perfect day they could have imagined-a wedding in Hawaii, overlooking the vast, blue ocean.

The sun was beginning to set, casting a golden hue over the pristine beach. Guests were seated on white chairs adorned with tropical flowers, the soft sound of ukuleles playing in the background. The gentle breeze carried the scent of the sea and the vibrant blooms that decorated the venue.

Emma stood in the bridal suite, looking at her reflection in the mirror. She wore a stunning bohemian-style wedding dress, light and flowing, perfectly complementing the tropical setting. Her hair was adorned with a traditional Hawaiian flower, adding a touch of local elegance to her look.

"Are you ready?" her maid of honor asked, smiling warmly.

Emma took a deep breath, her eyes shining with joy. "Yes, I've never been more ready for anything in my life."

Outside, Austin stood at the altar, looking dashing in a light linen suit. His heart pounded with anticipation, his eyes scanning the aisle for the first glimpse of his bride. As the ukuleles transitioned into the bridal march, everyone turned to watch Emma make her entrance.

Emma emerged, escorted by Austin's father, David. Despite the bittersweet memories of her parents, who had tragically died in a boating accident when she was seven, Emma felt a deep sense of gratitude and love for the family she had gained. David smiled at her, his eyes filled with pride.

"You look beautiful, Emma," he whispered as they walked down the aisle.

"Thank you, David," she replied, her voice steady. "Thank you for everything."

When they reached the altar, David gently placed Emma's hand in Austin's. "Take care of her," he said, his voice thick with emotion.

"I will," Austin promised, his eyes never leaving Emma's.

The ceremony was beautiful and heartfelt, filled with laughter, tears, and love. As they exchanged vows, the setting sun painted the sky in brilliant hues of orange and pink, a perfect backdrop for their perfect moment.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife," the officiant declared. "You may kiss the bride."

Austin and Emma shared a tender, loving kiss, sealing their commitment to each other. Their guests erupted in applause, celebrating the new couple.

As the evening continued, the reception was held on a beautifully decorated terrace overlooking the ocean. Twinkling lights hung above, casting a romantic glow over the festivities. The sound of waves mingled with the joyful chatter and laughter of friends and family.

When it was time for the dances, a hush fell over the crowd. Austin stood in the center of the dance floor, looking a little nervous but happy. His sister, Ashley, approached him, her eyes filled with understanding and love.

"This one's for Mom," she said softly.

Austin nodded, tears welling up in his eyes. "For Mom."

They danced to one of their mother's favorite songs, moving gracefully across the floor. It was a poignant tribute, a moment of connection and remembrance that brought tears to many eyes. Lori, their beloved mother, had passed away when Austin was 23, but her spirit was very much present in this dance.

After the dance, Austin found Emma again, wrapping her in his arms. "You look absolutely breathtaking," he whispered.

Emma smiled up at him, her heart swelling with happiness. "And you, my love, look incredibly handsome."

The night was filled with joy and celebration, the love between Austin and Emma radiating through every moment. As the festivities drew to a close, they stood together, looking out over the moonlit ocean, grateful for the journey that had brought them here.

Their wedding in Hawaii was everything they had dreamed of and more-a testament to their love, resilience, and the bright future that awaited them.
