"Friends and family, your presence is welcome on this glorious evening. We have come to celebrate the Wedding of Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson. Since time immemorial, people have performed ceremonies to mark a transition, a change of status. Today we gather for that happiest - the change of status from single individuals to a married couple." The priest said.

"It is one of life's richest surprises when the fateful meeting of two individuals leads them to proceed together along a common path. It is indeed one of life's finest experiences when a chance relationship grows into a permanent bond of love." 

I looked at Harry. I could tell that he was nervous.. I was too. 

"This meeting and this love are what bring us together today. The uniting of these two friends establish a new family is an important and memorable event. It brings together two separate families and backgrounds and create a union that is a sign of hope in the midst of a troubled society." 

Harry sort of laughed. I couldn't help but smile at him. 

"In their love for each other, which they publicly express in this ceremony, Harry and Louis demonstrate not only their joy in the present but their commitment to share the future together. This is a time of celebration for all of you who know and love them." The priest paused and looked at both of us. 

"Before you, Harry and you, Louis, are joined together in marriage in my presence and in the presence of these, your family and friends. I am bound to remind you of publicly of the solemn, the serious and the permanent nature of the relationship into which you are now about to enter." 

"Harry and Louis, do you come here freely, and without reservation, to enter a marriage as companions living together as one, enjoying equality? Do you promise to love, respect, assist and look after each other for the rest of your lives? Are you prepared to live in harmony, and jointly strive for the welfare of your family, and for a just and equal society?" The priest glanced at both of us. 

"We do," We answered in unison. 

He nodded and continued, "I understand that you've written some vows of your own." 

"Yes,"  I pulled out the piece of paper that I'd written my vows on. 

"Forgive me.. I'm a bit nervous," 

Harry chuckled.

"Harry Styles, when I met you we were barely kids. We've grown up together. We were with each other every step of the way. You've made my life worth living... From the little things, like the way you shake your hair and it falls perfectly on your face or when you complain about me snoring, but little do you know how loud you do it."  I sort of laughed, trying to hold back tears. "Haz, you're my best friend and I promise to stick by your side through everything. It's crazy how you drive me insane, but somehow you still manage to stay in my mind every second of the day. I just want you to know, that I'll stay with you, no matter what happens. I love you, Hazza." A few tears fell from my eyes. 

Harry smiled, raised his hand, and wiped them away. 

"Harry, your turn." 

"I put my vows into song, if that's alright," 

"Louis?" 

I smiled, "That's fine with me." 

Harry took a deep breath and began to sing, "I love Lou, Lou loves me..." 

My jaw dropped and everyone started laughing.

He shook his head, "I'm just kidding.." He picked up a guitar and started playing.
