A/N: Hey guys i'm glad you're enjoying the story so far. Play the song above as you read the chapter. It's one of my favorite songs and I think it fits perfectly with this chapter. Thanks!

"(Y/N)?" I turned to see my father dressed in his suit with a slim, velvet box in his hand. I looked up into his eyes and could see how hard he working to not cry at that moment. "My baby girl is all grown up. You look so beautiful, the most gorgeous young woman I have ever seen in all my life." He walked over to me and cupped my cheek in his palm as he pulled me into his warm embrace. "This was the necklace that your grandmother wore on her wedding day." He opened the box to expose a small, delicate sapphire stone on a thin, silver chain.

"It's your something old." My mom then walked into the room in a deep blue dress, matching the necklace. She was blubbering just like my dad. She pulled the necklace out of the box and brought it around my neck, clasping it. "And we replaced the ruby to be a sapphire so it could be something new and blue." It fell to the hollow of my neck and looked stunning.

I started tearing up and grabbed my moms' hand, holding it close to my heart. "Thank you so much, both of you." I grabbed my dads' hand with my free one. "I love you guys, more than you could ever know." We then stood like that for several minutes until my maid of honor, Jessica, walked in and told us that it was time. I turned and took in one last glance at myself. I grabbed my bouquet and walked out into the hallway, looping my arm through my fathers'.

Dan's POV:

"You good mate?" Phil asked me. I took in a deep breath and nodded. We were standing at the end of the aisle and I was staring to get butterflies just thinking about what she will look like in her dress. As I exhaled, the wedding march began and I turned to see everyone stand and look to the back of the room as she appeared with her arm looped through her fathers'.

My heart skipped a beat. She looked like an angel. As she reached me, I held out my hand for her to take. As she slipped hers' into mine, I felt electricity, just like I did the first time I had ever held held her hand. I started tearing up and could see that she was doing the same.

Your POV:

"The couple has decided to write their own vows and will recite them now."

I turned to face Dan as he spoke.

"(Y/N), I still can't believe that you chose to ever love someone like me. I am a clumsy, mumbling idiot who used to have an existential crisis every other week. But you pulled me out of my bubble and showed me how to live. Somehow you found a way to love me, and for that, I thank you. You are truly the best thing that stumbled into my life. I love you with all my heart and I promise you right now that I will never stop. You are my everything. I never thought that love was in the cards for me, but you proved me wrong, as you always do, and I love you even more for that."

Tears were slowly streaming down my face. "Dan, being with you makes me believe that we were made to be together. You are my soulmate and I couldn't imagine ever being with anyone more perfect for me. You're the love of my life . I promise to love you for exactly the way you are. I wouldn't want you any other way." I put my hand on his cheek and wiped away a tear that had escaped and smiled at him. "I can't wait to start my life and start a family with you." He smiled back at me as he squeezed my hand.

"Do you Daniel James Howell take (Y/F/N) (Y/M/N) (Y/L/N) to be your lawfully wedded wife, from this day forward, in sickness and in health, till death do you part, as long as you both shall live?"

"I do." He slid the ring onto my finger.

"Do you (Y/F/N) (Y/M/N) (Y/L/N) take Daniel James Howell to be your lawfully wedded husband, from this day forward, in sickness and in health, till death do you part, as long as you both shall live?"

"I do." I slid the ring onto his finger.

"By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." Dan grabbed me by the waist and pulled me close as he gave me a soft, tender kiss.

As we broke apart, we turned to see all of the smiling faces of the people we loved and walked down the aisle together, now as man and wife.

*time skip*

"Now may I please have your attention as we welcome the new Mr. and Mrs. Daniel and (Y/N) Howell! Please join me in congratulating the happy couple!" The crowd cheered as we walked hand-in-hand into the reception and started hugging every person that we saw as we made our way through the crowd.

"Please clear the dance floor as the couples' first dance."

As we stepped onto the dance floor, our song began to play, "Hunger" by Ross Cooperman. As the song played, Dan pulled me close to his chest and I wrapped my arms around his neck. One of his hands was on my waist while the other was between my shoulder blades, pressing us even closer together. When the song ended, my father walked up to us and held his hand out, waiting for me to take it. I gave Dan a quick kiss on the cheek and put my hand in my fathers'.  Dan walked over to his mother and pulled her onto the dance floor.

My father pulled me close as "Better Place" by Rachel Platten started playing. My mom joined us and pulled me into a hug as we swayed to the song. We all started tearing up again. I pushed them together to start dancing with each other as I grabbed my husband from his parents and pulled him close to me. We stayed that way almost all night. 

The entire evening went by in a blur and before I knew it, we were getting into the car and heading to the airport to head to Japan. It was my surprise wedding present to him and he still had no idea.  

"Can I please know where we're going yet?"

"Not just yet, but I know you'll love it." I grabbed his hand and pulled it to my lips, kissing it gently.

When we reached the gate, he picked me up and started twirling me in a circle with my favorite goofy smile on his face. 

"I can't believe you would do this for me. I thought that you wanted to go to Maui?"

"I did, but i've never been to Japan and I remember you telling me how much you loved it there when you and Phil went. I wanted to have the chance to spoil you instead of the other way around for once." I winked.  They called our boarding zone, and we go onto the plane, slightly dreading the next 14+ hours on the plane, but at least we got first class seats. 

I drifted off about six hours into the flight and was awoken to Dan poking me on the shoulder and quietly shouting my name. I looked out the window to see the city of Japan and leaned onto my husbands' shoulder, knowing that this was going to be a fun two weeks.
