Briana's POV

"Come on Bri we have to get you ready!" Dacey said, dragging me to my room. "Dacey calm down, it's only 12!" I said. "I don't care! You need to get ready! You need to look beautiful!" Dacey exclaimed. 

"You too! You, Lana, and Hayley need to look gorgeous!" I said. She nodded. "Well Carolyne is gonna do your makeup, I'll go check on the guys. I'll make sure they aren't making any messes." Dacey said then left. Carolyne appeared out of the blue and asked if I'm ready. I nodded. 

Once she finished, I thought she did an amazing job. My skin looked flawless and my eye makeup was on point. 

"Thank you Carolyne. I didn't think you could make it but I'm so glad you did." I said. 

"Why wouldn't I miss this amazing day? You and Dacey were my first friends here in Australia. If it wasn't for you, I would have been sitting at the lunch table alone, back in high school." Carolyne chuckled a bit. As did I. 

"Briana! You need to get your hair done!" Lana ran into the room. I groaned. "If I knew today was going to be this hard, I would of never agreed to have it." I rolled my eyes. I walked to the other room to get my hair done. Turns out , Hayley is doing hair. 

"Your makeup is great! Okay now sit. Braid or bun?" She asked. 

"Braid." I replied. She got a brush and started brushing my hair. She yanked and pulled until she made a french braid. This wasn't a regular french braid, this was one started from the left side of my head towards my right side. My bangs were loose in front of my forehead. "Thank you Hayley, it's beautiful." I whispered in amazement. "You're welcome." She smiled. 

After a bunch of hairspray layers, I went to the third room to change. "I'm here!" I called out. Dacey and Lana were there. "Hey! You ready?" Dacey asked. I nodded. I turned around to shut the door and saw my mom standing there. "Mom!" I hugged her. "What are you doing here?" 

"Dacey and your friends planned it. They told me to come. Now, let's get you dressed." She said, tears clearly getting ready to fall out of her eyes. 

"You look beautiful Briana." My mom said in aw. Dacey and Hayley agreed. The dress was short, but it was simple. It had a sweetheart neckline, and the bottom flowy part of the dress was all lace. I checked the time, 2:45. I slipped on my shoes and got the last items I needed.

We arrived at the venue on the beach. I saw all my family and friends sitting down in the rows, waiting for the ceremony to begin. Next thing I knew, I was walking down the corridor. At the end, I saw Ashton. He looked so adorable in a suit and tie. 

"You look so beautiful Bri." He whispered once I got in front of him. 

"Thank you, you don't look half bad yourself." I smiled. 

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the sight of God, and in the face of this company, to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony.." 

"You may know say your vows." The priest finished. 

I coughed a little to clear my voice, then started reading. "Ashton, where can I begin with all the great things you have done to my life. When I first saw you in a picture that Dacey showed me, I knew you were a great guy. Then we actually met. And that day was one of the greatest in my life. You made my life more brighter, more fun, and more great in any way. When you asked me to marry you, I just had to say yes because I've known you for 6 years and it's been the greatest years of my life. You've helped me in anyway possible also. You've helped me with a lot of things. So thank you for being there for me and I can't wait to live the rest of my life with you." I finished. I looked up and saw Ashton smiling. Then his smile dropped when he realized it was his turn. 

"Briana. Briana Rose Clifford. The first day I met you, oh god. Right when I first saw you I knew you were the one. Thank god for your brother that got us together, because if it wasn't for you, I don't know where I would be. I would have missed out on a lot of fun. Like the time at the pool, at the carnival, and back at the big house. You always make me have a smile on my face. These 6 years really seemed to fly by but thank god they had a lot of memories I will always remember. I love you." 

"I love you too." I whispered. The crowd awed, making Ashton and I blush.

"Where are the rings?" The priest asked. Ashton's little-now-16-years-old brother, Harry came up onto the stage to hold the tiny pillow holding the rings. Ashton's long fingers reached for the ring on his side and held my hand with his free hand. 

"With this ring, I thee wed." Ashton said trying to hold in his laughter, causing Luke, Michael, and Calum to laugh behind him. Ashton slipped the ring onto my ring finger. 

I took the ring from the small pillow and said "With this ring, I thee wed." Then I slipped the ring through his ring finger. 

"Do you Ashton Irwin, take Briana Clifford to be your lawful wedded wife, to have and hold, for better or worse,  from this day forward, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, honor, and cherish all the days of your life?" 

"I do." Ashton smiled. 

"Do you Briana Clifford, take Ashton Irwin to be your lawful wedded husband, to have and hold, for better or worse,  from this day forward, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, honor, and cherish all the days of your life?" 

"I do." I said. 

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." The priest smiled. Ashton leaned in and kissed me. Our family and friends cheered as we walked down the aisle as newly wedded couple.
