After all these years

The Wedding

Aria's POV

"It's your wedding day! It's your wedding day!" Hanna said louder the second time "wake up!"

"What time is it." I said drowsily.

"Approximately, 2:53 AM."

"What!" I yelled "Why am I up so early?"

"There's so many things that need to be done."

"I'm coming, I'm coming. I thought a bride was suppose to get her 'beauty sleep'?"

"That's what makeup is for, now let's go!"

Line break

3:45 am

"Can I go to bed?" I asked about to pass out "I might pass out while walking down the isle."

"Yeah, no. I'll let you take a nap at 4:10. Okay?"

"Okay."

Line break

Ezra's POV

"Hanna!" I heard Aria's voice echo through the halls.

This is it I thought straightening my tie.

The wedding march started to play as we all waited anxiously for the bride.

Madison came out tossing a few white rose petals here and there.

A few minutes after everyone walked out, you could hear the familiar clicking of heels coming down the hall.

A moment of silence stood as everyone rises for the bride.

I couldn't help but hear someone humming 'here comes the bride' as Aria stepped out. But once Aria stepped out, all eyes were on her.

I sat up straighter as she began to walk towards me with Byron walking her down the aisle.

Following after her was Hanna, Emily, Spencer, and even Alison.

Aria and Ali have had there differences, but all things aside Ali decided to really change for the better.

Aria gave Byron a tight hug as he gave her away to me.

No ones POV

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here together in the sign of God - and in the face of this company - to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony..."

Aria bit her lip as she normal did when she was nervous.

"... If any person can show just cause why they should not be joined together - let them speak now or forever hold their peace."

Ezra looked lost in Aria's eyes as the minister went on.

"Through marriage, Ezra Fitz and Aria Montgomery make a commitment together to face their disappointments, embraced their dreams, realize their hopes, and accept each other's failures. Ezra Fitz and Aria Montgomery will promise to aspire to these ideals throughout their lives together, through mutual understanding, openness, and sensitivity to each other."

"We are here today - before God - because marriage is one of his most sacred wishes, to witness the joining in marriage of Ezra Fitz and Aria Montgomery. This occasion marks the celebration of love and commitment with which this man and this woman begin their life together, and now -through me - he joins you together in one of the holiest bonds."

The minister looked up and asked "Who gives this woman in marriage to this man?"

Bryon stood up and said "Her family and friends gathered here today sir."

The minister began reading again as Aria soaked in every ounce of this.

"By gathering together all the wishes of happiness and our fondest hopes for Ezra Fitz and Aria Montgomery from all present here, we assure them that our hearts are in tune with theirs. These moments are so meaningful to all of us, for "What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined together, to strengthen each other in all labor, to minister to each other in all sorrow, and to share each other in all gladness."

A couple minutes later the minister asked for them the exchange their vows.

Aria cleared her throat as she began "I promise to always be honest, patient, and forgiving with you. I promise to tell you I love you every night. I promise that even when we're all old and boring we will always order Chinese food and watch black and white movies together. I promise I will love you for all eternity."

Ezra started fidgeting with his hands as he began "Aria, I know our relationship wasn't exactly what people would call normal, but who needs normal right? I love you so much and I promise to tell you I love you at least a thousand times. I promise to try my hardest to be almost as amazing as you are in parenting. I promise to give you everything. I promise to love you at all times and to never ever stop loving you. I certainly can promise that we will watch old movies with takeout every week. I promise to keep the spark alive, that nothing will ever change between us expect for our kids. I love you Aria and I can't wait another minute of not being married to you."

The minister looked at Ezra and began "Do you Ezra Fitz take Aria Montgomery to be your wife, to live together after Gods ordinance, in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sadness and in joy, to cherish and continually bestow upon her your hearts deepest devotion, forsaking all others keep yourself only unto her as long as you both shall live?

Ezra almost cut him off with saying "I do."

The minister looked at Aria and began again "Do you Aria Montgomery take Ezra Fitz to be your husband, to live together after Gods ordinance, in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sadness and in joy, to cherish and continually bestow upon him your hearts deepest devotion, forsaking all others keep yourself only unto him as long as you both shall live?

Aria smiled proudly saying the traditional "I do."

The ring boy gave Ezra the rings as the minster started the part everyone's been waiting for "May these rings be blessed as the symbol of this affectionate unity. These two lives are now joined in one unbroken circle. Wherever they go, may they always return to one another. May these two find in each other the love for which all men and women year. May they grow in understanding and in compassion."

Ezra looked eagerly into Arias eyes as the minister said the few words that will bind their love forever.

"You may now kiss the bride" He said as Ezra grabbed Aria's face in his hands smiling smashing his lips onto hers.

Everyone clapped as they pulled away from each other, as man and wife.
