《Chapter 41》

I step on the neon flower petals Dylan had dropped before I came in. The ceiling is white marble with gold designs and little colored accents.

Luke's family is on the left side of the church and on the right side there were a handful of teenagers. Alex was one of them.

Please be the fam. Please be the fam. Don't mob. Don't scream. I say in my head. They all stand and bow as I walk by. Alex winks at me. I smile and make my way up to the stairs that lead to Luke.

I look into his amazing blue eyes, he looks into my green ones. I let his gaze wrap around me and pull me in as the pastor starts speaking.

I just couldn't wipe the smile off my face.

Luke says his vows first. I know this is either going to be the gushiest thing I will ever hear, or hilarious.

"Sydney..." he starts. "I promise to always share my food with you, send you links of funny things I find, not get mad if you hog the covers, and text you back as soon as I can." The crowd laughs and the fans on the other side 'aww'.

"Because I will do everything in my power to make sure you are happy. You are my light, my sun, my only reason."

I smile so wide my cheeks hurt. My eyes are watering and I can't see anything through the blur of my tears.

"You know you're lukcy if you have a best friend, a girlfriend, and a true love. But you know you're doing something right when they are all the same person. And I will do whatever it takes to keep that beautiful smile on your face."

He said that the night I got attacked at the park.

A tear has leaked down my cheek, probably leaving a trail of sparkles in its track.

"Luke Hemmings." I start with a shakey voice. "You are the ketchup to my eggs. You are also a totally immature child that loves video games and Mean Girls and sweets..." I say and the whole crowd starts to murmur.

"But lucky for you, so am I. We are going to get married tonight. We are going to start an amazing life together. But we wont let the haters stop us from doin our thang."

The whole crowd laughs at my Mean Girls quote.

"Baby don't cry." Luke laughs while I have tears pooling in my eyes.

"I just have a lot of feelings." I say.

Luke then dies laughing with the crowd.

"So Sydney. Do you take Luke to be your husband? To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, through the roughest times and through times of triumph?"

"I sososososo do." I laugh, slipping the silver band on Luke's finger.

"And Luke, do you take Sydney as your wife? To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, through the roughest times and through times of triumph?"

"Yes sir I gladly do." he states, sliding a silver ring with a big diamond on my finger. My ring finger has been empty for as long as I can remember. Now, that finger holds a token of something that means so so much.

"Now, as I wed you two in holy matrimony, you may seal your new life and love for each other, with a kiss."

"Finally." Luke mumbles as he places his hands on my waist and leans in slowly.

"Don't miss." I laugh when he's about an inch away.

"You little..." he laughs as he places his lips perfectly on mine. The crowd claps lightly, but that wasn't enough for Luke. He moves one hand a little lower on my back and one in between my shoulders and dips me backward to where I was counting on him to hold me up to I wouldn't fall flat on my ass.
