The One That Got Away (Jared Padalecki × Reader)

~49~

     After the ceremony was over the bridesmaids and grooms men walked in different ways to do our photos until we all came back together for group photos.

When all of the brides and groomsman went back inside Jared and I waited for each other than smiled as we laced our fingers together.

"I now present to you Mr. and Mrs. Padalecki!" The Dj said and I laughed as everybody cheered when we entered the building.
"Okay guys its everybody's favorite part, speeches and to start us off is Jensen Ackles" the Dj said as Jared and I sat down at our seats, I laughed at Jensen's reaction and he chuckled than got up.

"So where do I start with Jared? Jared is handsome, clever, witty, generous, char....cha... Sorry, dude, can't read your writing. You'll just have to tell me that part later. Anyway..." he said before we all laughed causing him to laugh.

"Charming" Jared said playing along

"Dude I can't lie to them!" Jensen said and we all laughed than we all became quiet "When Jared asked me to be one of his best man, he told me that he expected me to make a traditional speech to the bride and groom. No problem, I thought. But he forgot to mention the ninety-five or something other people who'd be present, otherwise I wouldn't have agreed to do it. Jared we've been friends for a long time and when I saw you and y/n reconnect I felt that special bond that you two shared. Y/n when I first met you, you spilt my coffee on me and told me your name was late, you're a funny, kind, and so many other adjectives I can't say because Danneel will hurt me and there's too many to say, I am truly blessed to see this long time friendship that had its ups and downs blossom into something much more special, I love you guys and wish yall the best with your brand new life togther" Jensen finished and I got up to hug him and he returned the hug.

*ten minutes later*

"I knew y/n since she was a little girl because Jared was her best friend and since than Jared and y/n had been unseparable. Y/n its an honor to see you grow up into this wonderful woman, Jared I am also proud of you. I love you both and wish yall the best also I'm ready for another grandchild" Sharon said and we laughed while Jared tensed up a little knowing that it was his turn and he stood up stiffly.

"Thank you mom for your kind words....Distinguished guests, family, friends, I would like to thank you all for coming here today.
For those of you that know me well, I am not confident at speeches and presentations, but today has been the best day and the most surreal day of my life. I am overwhelmed, knowing that I am now finally married to the love of my life. And as if standing in front of you all today and speaking isn't bad enough, I've still got to stand up and dance in front of you all later on. If there weren't kids present, this is the part I would be swearing at.
While you have your glasses in your hand, I would like you to raise it to toast to the ones we wish could be present today. y/n mother and father, y/m/n, y/d/n, both myself and y/n dearly wish you could be here with us today so I could thank them face to face for raising a beautiful, intelligent yet sometimes stubborn and bossy daughter, I will do everything in my power to make her feel amazing and the happiest woman alive.
I would also like to thank my Mom and dad for their help and support over the years. You should be proud that you raised an intelligent, witty, dashing, handsome son, but unfortunately, you raised me, so thanks for putting up with me and being here today to support myself and y/n. Will you raise a glass to both sets of parents" he said and we all raised our glasses to the parents.
"I also want to thank my best men, Jeff and Jensen for keeping me sane these last two weeks and re-assuring me that y/n would actually turn up today, and also stopping me from drinking that bottle of whiskey I spied on." I and everybody else laughed
"Y/n and I also want to thank Cliff and Emilio who made sure we had no gate-crashers today and yes Cliff, I do still remember what you said to me that first time y/n and I began dating, and I WILL be sticking to it. I know you're a pussycat really, but you're still bigger and taller than me, so I will be a good boy, promise.
So please raise your glasses for The Boys" and we all did, I smiled at Cliff who was laughing.
"Finally, now it's over to the most important person here today, the star of the show, my beautiful new wife
y/n. It sounds great finally been able to say that. What can I say that I haven't said to most of you about her anyway?
I've learnt in a very short space of time, that whenever she's right, and I'm wrong, admit it, Whenever she's wrong and I'm right, just keep quiet, she has one hell of an arm punch.
But seriously, not only today, but the whole time with you have been so surreal, I have to pinch myself to realise that thr woman next to me, is actually with me let alone now married to me, and how fantastic my life has been since we have been together. There is a saying that you don't marry someone you can live with; you marry someone you can't live without. I think that sums us up well. Watching y/n walk up that aisle today made me realise just how lucky I am, I looked at myself, and realized it was definitely me getting the best part of this deal. You always bring the best out of me, you understand me like no-one else and you are always fighting my corner.
We first met each other nearly 18 or more years ago, and I am very proud to say she has been the best friend I have ever had. I would like to think I have been a good friend to her as well, especially when I stopped her from a poor decisions, not to mention I made the coffees the next morning (and Jensen will testify, I am not the world's best at making coffee)" he said and we laughed when Jensen yelled 'yup' from where he was sitting "but luckily, y/n has made them most mornings since, and I don't have to sleep on the sofa this time...
I still haven't worked out quite why she agreed to marry me, but every day I wake up happy knowing she chose me, I am really looking forward to the rest of my life next to this amazing lady, thank you y/n, I love you in so many ways, and for so many reasons. So I would like you to all join me in a toast to my best friend, and beautiful wife, y/n" he said looking at me and I wiped away another stray tear from my eye than stood up giving him a huge hug and kissing him before taking the microphone from him.

"Lets party!" I said making everybody laugh, the Dj began playing music, Jared pulled me to him and we just stared at the happy sight of everybody dancing and drinking on the dance floor.

"We have some weird friends" Jared said and I laughed watching Misha as he began getting tackled by the kids.

"Wouldn't want it any other way" I said and he chuckled than leaned down to kiss me.
