The car pulls up and Niamh looks around at it all and takes it all in.

"Your dad is just there" Barbara smiles and points Brian out to her.

She smiles and nods. She sees Chloe with Matthew and Jordan getting out the car.

"Ready?" The driver says.

"I think so" Niamh says with a smile.

She gets out the car and her dad comes over "oh darling you're beautiful" he smiles as he hugs Niamh.

"Thanks dad" Niamh smiles.

They walk up the the church and Niamh starts to get butterflies, she looks at Matthew who has just been given the rings by Brian.

She sees him whisper something to Matthew that she doesn't quite hear but kind of guesses.

Matthew looks up at Niamh as they stand the enterance, she hooks her dads arm and her mum quickly hurries to her seat.

Brian places his hand over Niamh's and smiles, "ready?" He asks.

"As I'll ever be" Niamh smiles as she can just about see Joe and the vicar asking everyone to stand.

She looks over at her dad as she hears the music play and she smiles.
Niamh takes some steady breaths and they begin to walk down the isle. Niamh looks along the isle and smiles as she sees her friends from work; Lucinda, Camilla, James and his girlfriend, Alex and Ellie.

She sees them smiling at her and she smiles back. She looks up and a massive smiles grows on her face as she looks at Joe who is already looking at her.

He admires her and his smile grows bigger as she gets closer.

He can't believe how beautiful she looks. She also looked at him looking so smart in his suit he's wearing. She finally gets to the end of the isle.

Niamh gives Joe a smile as her dad hands Niamh over to Joe and takes a seat beside Matthew and Barbara.

Niamh stands before Joe and smiles at him. "You look beautiful" Joe mutters as the victor begins the service.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join this man, and this woman in holy matrimony. In the years they have been together, their love and understanding of each other has grown and matured, and now they have decided to live their lives together as husband and wife..." the vicar says as he opens the service.

Niamh continues to look at Joe as smiles at him. Joe admires how beautiful she looks in her dress and important of all how beautiful she looks in general.

They both just get lost in each other as the vicar speaks on.
The who Church goes silent for a prayer and Niamh and Joe kneel down onto a cushion based part of the floor as the vicar blessed them.

Suddenly..."Granny I want crisps!" Is heard throughout the church.

Everyone turns and looks at Matthew at the front "shh hunny I'll get you some in a minute" Barbara says to try and keep him quiet.

He gets off the chair and picks up the bible and pretends to read it.

Niamh laughs a little and turns back round to Joe.

The service continues and Niamh just watches Joe lovingly. Joe repeats what the vicar has said to him and holds both Niamh's hands.
"I, Joseph Andrew McFadden, Take you, Niamh Anya Walsh. To be none other than yourself. I promise to stand by your side; To encourage you, and be open and honest with you; To laugh with you, and cry with you; To always love and honor you; Both freed and bound by our love,For as long as we both shall live."

Joe smiles at Niamh and glances over at Matthew who's now colouring in.
He smiles at him and looks over back at Niamh.

The vicar says some more things before asking for the rings and Barbara nudges Matthew and gives him the rings. He gets up and walks slowly towards his mum and dad.

He walks over slowly and concentrates on them making sure he doesn't drop them. He looks up at them both and smiles.

He stands there with the two boxes and looks at the vicar.

The vicar tells Joe to pick up the ring and he crouches down to Matthew and takes the ring.

He smiles and stands back up. He takes hold of Niamh's hand and slowly slides the ring onto her left hand.

Niamh's heart flutters as she watches Joe put the ring on her. "Niamh I give you this ring, as a symbol of our marriage, for today and tomorrow, and for all the days to come. Wear it as a sign of what we have promised and done this day."

Niamh smiles and then takes Joe's ring off Matthew and he goes back to his granny as Niamh puts the ring on Joe's finger. "Joseph,I give you this ring, as a symbol of our marriage, for today and tomorrow, and for all the days to come. Wear it as a sign of what we have promised and done this day."

She keeps hold of his hand and bites her lip and smiles as she looks at Joe. "So it is my pleasure to pronounce that you are now husband and wife" the vicar smiles at them.

Joe leans forwards and kisses Niamh, a tear slips down her face as she smiles up at him and everyone applauds them.

"I love you so damn much" Niamh mutters as she continues to smile at him.

Joe takes Niamh's hand and they walk down the isle hand in hand.

"Where's mummy and daddy going?" Matthew as he lifted his head to all the noise.

"They'll meet you outside" Barbara smiles and she gets up and follows everyone outside.

The photographer waits for them as everyone starts to make their way outside.

The photographer takes some photos of Niamh and Joe together.
