The Opening Act (H.S) {Completed - Editing}

Cheers, Mate

"Please welcome the bride and groom onto the dance floor for their first dance."

Harry takes my hand, leading me through the crowd of our friends and family and onto the dance floor. He wraps his arms around my waist as I swing mine over his shoulders, clasping my hands behind his neck. The music starts up and he starts to sway me back and forth. We'd chosen to dance to the song that we had tattooed in each others handwriting; Forever and For Always by Shania Twain.

"Hi," he mumbles. "This is weird... dancing in front of everybody."

"I'm sorry, you spit water up in the air and dance like an idiot in front of thousands, but this is weird to you?"

He laughs, reaching forward to kiss my nose. "That crowd of thousands of doesn't personally know me. Everybody here does."

"You're a dork, H," I giggle. He rests his forehead on mine, mumbling along to the song a little. After a minute, he speaks up again.

"You know, if we hadn't agreed on the limit for our vows, I literally could have gone on forever about what I promise to do for you," he says quietly, a small smile on his face. "I would give you everything thats nice in the world if I could."

I reach forward and give him a kiss, which makes him tighten his grip on my waist. "I love you Harry Edward. And I don't need anything else as long as I've got you. Thank you for always being my best friend."

"And I love you, Ava Mae. Thank you for being mine."

"I'm keeping you forever and for always

we will be together all of our days

wanna wake up every morning to your sweet face

always..."

"If you smash cake in my face, you will be dead on your wedding day," I mumble to Harry while the photographer gets set up.

"Even just a dot on your nose? C'mon, Ave," Harry pouts. "We've already done pictures, what could it hurt?"

"As long as it stops there."

He chuckles and kisses my temple. Once Trey and the photographer both are ready, Anne gives us the knife to cut the cake with. Harry takes it, while I put my hand on top of his. We cut a slice out, and as soon as it's on the plate Harry swipes at the frosting and then wipes it on my nose. As he reaches forward to kiss my nose and get the frosting off, I reach over and get frosting on my finger. I swipe it across his cheek, which makes him freeze in his place. Everybody around us laughs, while he glares at me. We both clean up and then feed each other a piece of the cake. From there, Anne and my mom take over to start slicing up cake for everybody else.

We take our plates over to the table that the boys were gathered around. All of them already had cake, since Louis and Niall had snuck in behind Anne and grabbed plates for them and Liam. I take Harry's plate, while he takes the time to hug each one of them.

"I know we already said this when you guys did your walk around, but congrats. We're really happy that you two found each other."

"I'm still glad he even made a move," Niall laughs. "Hearing him talk about her for an entire leg of a tour was annoying as hell."

We all sit down at a table, Harry pulling me into his lap before I can sit down. There was a seating arrangement for dinner, but it's kind of been lost since the dancing started.

"So let me get this straight," Liam pipes up. "Did you two really pull all of this off without a wedding planner or anything of the sort?"

I nod as I swallow the bite of cake that was in my mouth. "Honestly, I'm surprised we pulled it off."
