certain things

30.

"Zip time?" Gemma asked and I nodded, turning around so she could zip up the back of the dress.

She buttoned the top and helped me turn around to look in the mirror. I smiled in content and Gemma fluffed out the bottom so that it was straight. Karen pulled me into a side hug and I noticed tears in her eyes. I just smiled and gave her a proper hug. Anne came into the room, along with Ava and Emily and Emily squealed, running over to hug me.

I struggled to actually hug her, due to the growing bump and Emily pulled back, handing me my bouquet. Soon enough, all of my bridesmaids were in the small room and our photographer was taking pictures that I was excited to look at later. They all got their bouquets from the box and we got in order.

"Are you guys ready?" I turned around and saw Harry in the doorway.

We nodded and Gemma held the back of my dress so I could walk out and we went to the door to the chapel. I took deep breaths, trying to calm down and all the girls were out and down the aisle in less than five minutes. This is it. Karen hooked her arm with mine, Anne on my other side, and they both gave me smiles.

"Are you ready?" Anne asked and I nodded, gripping the bouquet in my hands.

"Let's do this." I breathed out and I heard the wedding march start inside.

They man outside opened the door and gave me a smile. I offered a shaky one and everyone in the chapel stood up in the pews. We began walking down the aisle and I finally locked my gaze with Liam's. He smiled and I did too, seeing him calming me down. We finally got to the end and Karen and Anne gave me a kiss on the cheek, going to their seats in the front row.

Liam stepped down and held his hand out, helping to get up the few steps to the altar. I handed Gemma my bouquet and Liam grabbed both of my hands, holding them out in front of us. He moved his thumbs across the top of my hands, calming me down, and it was like he couldn't keep the smile off of his face.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join these two people in holy matrimony."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ready?" Liam asked and I nodded, standing up along with him.

We walked out to the middle of dance floor and I kicked the train of my dress out of the way. Liam wrapped his arms around my waist and I put mine over his shoulders. Liam pulled me closer and we swayed together to the beat of Ed Sheeran.

"Take me into your loving arms, kiss me under the light of a thousand stars. Place your hands on my beating heart, thinking out loud." Liam quietly sang and I smiled to myself, toying with the hair at the nape of his neck.

"Samantha Payne." Liam hummed, nodding. "I quite like the sound of that." I slightly laughed and Liam smiled down at me.

"I hope you do because you're stuck with me for the rest of your life." I joked and Liam laughed, tugging me as close as possible to him.

"And I don't mind one bit." He squeezed my waist, making me jump and I jokingly pinched the back of his neck.

"Don't even think about it." I warned when his hands started drifting to my butt.

"I have no clue what you're talking about." Liam feigned innocence and I rolled my eyes.

Soon enough, the song ended and Liam went to get Karen for the mother son dance. I sat back down at our long table next to Gemma and she smiled at me. I took a drink of my wine and watched Liam dance with Karen in the middle of the dance floor.

"Hello, everyone. Thank you for coming to share this day with Sam and I." Liam said into the mic after their dance ended. "Sam, can you come up here?"

I furrowed my eyebrows, confused at what he was doing. I got up anyways and walked over to Liam over on the dance floor. I hesitantly sat down in the chair after he motioned to it and looked up at him expectantly.

"So, I have a little surprise for you."

Liam held a thumbs up to Harry and he clicked something on a computer. A video popped up, being projected on the wall, and I felt tears fill my eyes at the video. It was of my dad and I when I was four, dancing around the living room. You could hear me giggling as he moved me across the floor and I smiled at the memory, a tear falling down my cheek. As soon as the video ended, I shot up out of my seat and threw my arms around Liam's neck. He hugged me back and I leaned my forehead on his shoulder.

"Thank you." I said quietly and he just leaned back, giving me a small kiss.

Everyone at the reception cheered and many people came onto the dance floor while Liam and I went to greet people at their tables. After a while Liam tugged me outside and to a small balcony. He handed me his suit jacket and I draped it over my shoulders, taking a sip of the wine I had. Liam leaned against the balcony next to me and I put the side on my head on his shoulder when he wrapped an arm around me.

"I hope you know," Liam whispered. "The second we get to the honeymoon house, that dress is coming off."

"Sounds like a plan." I lightly laughed.

Liam turned his head to face me with a smile and he ducked down to kiss me. I straightened up and he put his hands on either side of my face, moving his thumbs across my cheeks. I gripped his dress shirt and he deepened the kiss, slipping his tongue into my mouth. I smiled against his lips and pulled back after a few minutes.

"We should probably get back inside." I whispered and Liam pouted like a child. "Our flight is in three hours so we can leave soon."

"You know, I've always wanted to join the mile high club." I laughed, swatting his arm.

"C'mon." What am I gonna do with him?
