Mer's pov
The wedding day
Its finally the day I have been waiting for 13 years. I just never thought I would ever be marrying Alex. After the whole Derek dying thing. It's been a long time since Derek died. I can't believe I'm marrying Alex Karev. My last name is going be Karev. Cristina came back after giving birth to her first baby. I was getting out of the shower when I heard a knock at the bathroom door.

"Cristina" I yell. "Sorry I didn't mean to scare you". "It's okay" I say as I leave to go to my room.

  She does my hair and makeup. I never minded dressing up a little, but this was overboard. Amber insisted that I wear makeup and wear a white dress. Like a traditional bride. But I'm everything but traditional and Alex knows that. That's why he's my perfect half. We both had horrible childhoods and emotional problems.

"Amber I don't want to wear that dress" I snapped at her.

"Meredith please for me and Alex" she says trying to convince me.

"Fine,but don't I will like it" I snapped again.

   I put on the dress. It fit me perfectly. I didn't notice it before but it's perfect. I look at the mirror. I just start to cry. I'm not even a cryer.

"Mer your going ruin your makeup"Amber and Cristina yell.

"No I'm not crying, I'm just really happy" I tell them as I wipe the tears away with a tissue.

     It's time to walk down to the alter. First was Cristina. She walked down gracefully. Well because I talked her. While I'm on my honeymoon she can have all my surgeries and Alex's too. Then it was Zola turn. I can't believe my little girl is going be at this wedding. Ellis went down in a wagon with Zola. Then it was mine turn. My heart starts to beat faster. When I finally reach the alter and take Alex's hand. He pulls me up.

    After the pastor says all the things."speak now or forever hold your peace" the pastor says. "Alex, why are you marrying Meredith. Why did you move on"? I heard someone shout. I turned toward the voice. I knew the voice from anywhere. I couldn't believe my eyes. Why would she come back now she had all the time in world to come back.
Alex's pov
I'm finally marrying my best friend. Me and Mer have been through so much pain and suffering. I never thought that this would be actually happening to me. Derek always got everything. That doesn't me I wasn't happy for him, I was. I just lost everything to him. My childhood was horrible. When it was finally time to start getting ready. I went down to George's apartment. Because I was staying there. I got dressed.

"Alex are you ready"? George asked me.

"Yes I'm ready, I have been ready for years now to marry Meredith" I explain to him.

"Time to get going" George tells me.

    I get into the car. We head to the ferry boat. Hours later. It's finally time for wedding. I stand at the alter. Cristina comes down in a pretty nice dress. I heard someone say that she's only wearing it. Because Mer gave her our surgeries. Plus she's a surgery hog. Then Zola and Ellis came down the aisle. They looked so beautiful in their dresses. Wow I really went soft. But I don't care. Then the music started. Mer walks down the aisle. In this beautiful white dress. She looked spectacular. I couldn't wait to have some hot sex with her. Okay I'm sorry there's more I want with her besides sex. When she finally reaches the alter. I grab her hand and pull her up to the step. The pastor started the ceremony.

    "We're all here today to celebrate the relationship of Meredith and Alexander and to be witnesses and supporters of the commitment they share with one another. Together we're a group of the most important people in their lives and they've brought us here to publically recognize that we've all played some special part in the love they share today" the minster says.
    "speak now or forever hold your peace" the pastor says. "Alex, why are you marrying Meredith? Why did you move on"? I heard someone shout. I turn towards the voice and so does Meredith. When I saw who it was. It made my blood boil. I can't believe after all theses years. This is the day she chooses to come back. Izzie comes up by the protium.

   "Alex I love you and never stopped loving you. I'm truly sorry how I left you after my cancer was cured. But why did you move on. I know I told you to, but I didn't mean it" Izzie interrupts. I ignore her. I motioned for the mister to keep going. He continues.

    "Meredith and Alexander, the vows that you are about to make are a way to share your love and commitment to each other in your own words. Sometimes poems, verses and quotes just don't get the point across the way you need them to and the best option is just to do it yourself. These vows are your way of openly declaring your promise to one another as well as to all of those who are here in attendance today".

   "Alex, I never thought. I would marry again. You made me feel extraordinary even when I didn't feel that way. Your my best friend and I couldn't be happy with out your comments. We both had terrible childhoods. We both have neglect and emotional problems. In someway that's what makes us the way we are for each other. When I first met you. I didn't even know you that well. The way we met is kind of odd and special way I guess. Here's the story on how we met. We met at a bar. A bar we call joe's. It's not actually called joe's. That doesn't matter. We have had our ups and downs. You were always there to save me. You were there when I stuck my hand in a body cavity with a bomb in it. You were there when I fell into lake Elliot and you jumped into the freezing water to save me. When I offered my life to a gunman, when I was in the plane crash. Many times you have saved me. That's why I love you. You take care of people and you may be a pain but your my pain" Meredith said.

    "Mer, I have been waiting since our intern years to have you in my life for the rest of my life. You are dark and twisty side of you I love it. Your brace and strong. Even when your weak. You cat strong. When I first fell in love with you it was like coming up for fresh and you saved me. Yes we met in a bar and then I turned out to your boss. But I didn't care. All I cared about was you and your dark and twisty self. For 13 years I have known you. I never felt this strongly about someone ever. When you chose Derek I was a reck. But I thought I moved on. I never did. I always have loved and love you. Your like a person that's always has been there for me no matter what your always there for me. When I was a jerk you stayed. When I was shot you stayed. When you told I'm wouldn't be like my father. Then I told you are not like your mother. You always made me feel like screwed up people have a chance. And now that I'm here with you I know it's true" I tell her.

   Meredith and Alexander will now exchange rings to symbolize their commitment. Rings are derived from humble beginnings of imperfect metal to create something striking where there was once nothing at all. It is customarily worn on the ring finger as it is the only finger with a vein running directly to the heart. The wearing of the rings is a visible, outward sign that they have committed themselves to one another. Minister: Meredith and Alexander you have professed your love by exchanging your vows. You have symbolized your commitment by exchanging rings. And you have expressed the end of your individual lives by the pouring of the unity sand. With all of this there is just one more question I need each of you to answer and then we're off to the reception to celebrate.

   Minister: Meredith– do you take Alexander to be your husband; to live together in the covenant of marriage? Do you promise to love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all others, be faithful to him as long as you both shall live? "I do" Meredith says with a huge smile with her eyes watery.

Do you promise to love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all others, be faithful to him as long as you both shall live? "I do" I say. Minister: By the power vested in me I now pronounce you husband and wife. Alexander, you may kiss your bride. I kiss her with all the passion in the world. She's kisses me back with the same amount of passion. Minister: It's my great honor and privilege to be the first to present to you Mr. and Mrs Karev".
