"Aloha sprinklerinos!" Louise says, holding the camera on her face. Tyler and Troye are in the frame as well. "We're at the Howell Lester wedding!"
"God, took long enough." Tyler laughs, rolling his eyes have making a thumbs up gesture at the camera.
Troye smiled and took a glance at Tyler, in almost a longing fashion.
"I'm gonna go find the grooms." Louise said, smiling. "Come on. We're gonna go to Dan first."
Before Louise did anything else, she showed the camera the invitation.
"But like, just check out these invitations." she says.

"Beautiful!" Troye calls from the background and Tyler laughs.
Louise scoots through crowds of people, stopping to say hi every once in a while. It was a crowd of YouTubers and friends and family of the two young men.
Finally, Louise came to two doors. One had a paper sign that said "Dan" and the other, "Phil."
Louise smiled. She couldn't believe that all these years had finally led up to this. When the YouTuber power couple, the probably posted shipped boys on the internet, were finally tying the knot. They'd denied what was clearly there for so long but it all led up to this...their marriage.
Louise opened the door to see Dan pacing back and forth, muttering things to himself and clutching a piece of paper. He had a white button up and a messy bowtie (that wasn't quite tied yet) around his collar. His hair was somewhat done but he was just pacing around the room.
"Dan?" Louise called to the male. "Dan??"
"Wha-oh, hi Louise. There's a bunch of drinks and snacks over there." He waved his hand in a general direction. "help yourself."
"I'm here to help you." Louise says, putting two shoulders on Dan, steadying him and keeping him from pacing around the room again. "Now, where's your jacket?"
"On the chair." Dan says. "Ill grab it." He awkwardly reaches around Louise and grabs the jacket.
Louise helps him tie his bowtie, put the jacket around his shoulders and properly wrap his cuffs around his wrist.
"There," she smiles. "You look amazing."
"What if he backs out?" Dan says, suddenly. startling Louise. "What if I'm not good enough for him? What if he decides he doesn't want to spend his life with me? What if he doesn't want to grow old with me? WHAT IF HE LEAVES ME, LOUISE???!"
"Dan..." Louise says. "Calm down. Calm down, okay? Take a deep breath. Don't forget to breathe."
Dan inhaled, sharply then slowly exhaled. "Okay. I think I'm good."
"Good." Louise says. The two sit on the couch and Louise puts a hand on Dan's thigh. "Dan, Phil loves you. You know that, he knows that...I know that. Everyone outside knows that. Literally everyone who's ever watched your videos knows that. You have nothing to worry about. Sure, the thought of spending your life with someone can be scary but if you truly love someone, that won't matter."
Dan thinks about this. He's going to grow old with Philip Lester. He's gonna spend the rest of his breathing years with this man. And that thought...it doesn't scare him in the least. He welcomes it. He's excited for it.
The thought that Phil is in the other room, getting ready to spend the rest of his life with him. That's what calms his nerves.
He looks over at Louise and smiles. "Thanks Louise."
"Anytime Mr. Howell." she smiles. "Go get 'em."
She grabs her camera and points it at Dan.
"Any last words as a non-wedded man?" She says. Dan laughs.
"Sure. Just think because we;re married Phil, doesn't mean you can eat my cereal! I'm setting up video cameras in our kitchen, you can't get away with it! Also, love you and that crap!"
Louise chuckles and turns the camera back to herself. "He's not the affectionate type." Even though Louise knew that was a lie.
"Bye Dan!" she waved and walked out of the room.
"How was he?" Caspar asked, sneaking up behind her.
"say hi Caspar!" Louise laughed, pointing the camera directly at him.
"I only came to object," Caspar says. "Because Dan ruined my life with the pineapple nickname, I'm gonna ruin his."
Louise chuckled. "Okay. have fun! I'm gonna check on Phil."
"Phil?" Louise whispered, walking into the room. "Can I come in?"
"Sure." Phil says. He was sitting in a chair, already fully dressed, reading over his vows. In one hand he held his paper, in the other, a comb. He was brushing over his black fringe while muttering the words to his speech under his breath.
"Here," Louise says, taking the comb from him. She brushes his hair out while Phil reads his speech out loud to Louise.
"Dan, without you in my life...I don't know where I'd be. You are my everything, my better half. You complete me. I would be completely lost, both spiritually and directions-wise, if you weren't in my life. When you're gone, even if it's just for the day, I feel lonely. Even if I'm around other people. Because you make me happy, you make me feel like I have the world. Who knew one person could make anyone feel the way I do about you, it seems nearly impossible. I love you Dan, forever and always."
"Aw Phil," Louise says, tears in her eyes. "That's so sweet."
"Really?" Phil says. "I just wrote what I feel when Dan is around."
Louise smiled at him. "Well, you're all set."
"Thanks." Phil says, pulling Louise into a hug. "Thank you for being there for me. For us."
"Of course." Louise smiles.
Once Louise leaves, Phil sees a backdoor out of the corner of his eyes. With his nerves piling up, he decided to go and catch a bit of fresh air without being mobbed by their friends and family.
He steps out and sees Dan.
Dan looks over a Phil and smiles.
"You're not supposed to see me!" Screeches Phil and ducks behind a pillar. Dan laughs out loud.
"Don't worry, I didn't catch a glimpse of you."
"Good." Phil breaths. Dan leans against the other side of the pillar and takes a deep breath.
Their hands reached around for the other side and were not satisfied until they found each other. Without looking at the other, their fingers laced around each others.
"I love you," Dan breaths. "You're my entire world, Phil."
Phil's glad Dan can;t see him, because he's already starting to cry. He squeezes Dan's hand in his own.
"I love you too Dan." he says. his voice wavering. "I want to spend my life with you, have children with you...be an old man with you."
Dan's never smiled bigger in his entire life.
"Guys!" Louise shriek-whispers. She's sat next to Tyler and Troye on her right and Zoe and Alfie on her left. "It's starting!"
