*1 year later*

A note from Jasmine

A year. I still can't believe its been a year since all chaos had finally spilled over into my new life for what seems to be the last time. I feel like I'm walking on top of clouds anymore, everything has gone right. The boys have finally been given a shot at the big time, and the best part? Its with my work and I'm their manager! When I mentioned it to Tommy the first time, he was quite a bit skeptical. But when I played a cd that they had all recorded with Ashton on vocals, Tommy spit out his coffee in astonishment. He demanded I "bring those five here right now, and that's an order." Moving on, my aunt and uncle moved into town, god being reunited with my brothers brought me to tears. They had grown taller a little since I saw them in November, and they've gotten even more redheaded if that's even possible. Life is turning into a peaceful thing for me now. I wish it will stay like this for the rest of my life.

*Present time*

"Jasmine?" my aunt knocked on the wooden white door, cautiously opening it. Destiny was sewing the hem of my dress and Nicki, Lance's fiancé, was finishing my hair, curling it like a spring.

I turned to see my aunt in a beautiful dark blue gown with her hair in a bun. I smiled and she looked like she was about to cry.

"Oh my angel...." she crossed the room and held my head in both of her hands. "Your mother would've been so proud of you."

I laughed softly. She hugged me as best as she could before reaching into her purse. "Your missing something though."

I gave her a confused look as she pulled out a small box. "Your mother left these to me to save them for your wedding." she opened the box to reveal beautiful diamond earrings. They were my mom's. I just knew they were.

My aunt placed them in as Nicki placed my veil onto my head, the crown that held it containing a single sapphire gem. My dress I had bought new and the silver necklace I wore, I borrowed from Destiny.

"And..done." Destiny said triumphantly standing up straight. Her and Nicki, along with my other bridesmaids, wore a light blue/green dress. Destiny's had a small ribbon around her waist to signify that she was my maid of honor.

There was a knock at the door. My grandfather poked his head in. "Its time darling."

I nodded and stepped down in my white flats. The girls hurried ahead to take there places while my grandfather and I went to the hall to wait. I could see Ashton nervously talking to Jack, his best man, and fixing his suit every so often. I heard my grandfather clear his throat, I turned to him.

"I was wrong you know." he said "About you not being able to hold your own in this world. I thought you couldn't handle the pressure or make a good decision because of what happened to your mother in the end. She always told me not to worry but I always did. I did the same with you as well, worrying I would lose you like I lost your mom." He paused a moment, wiping away a tear and looking at Ashton "But now, I see I have nothing to worry about. This young man seems to have as true of a love to you as I do to your grandmother. I'm happy for you sweetheart."

I smiled, holding back my tears otherwise my makeup would run. "Thank you grandad."

The music began to play and I gripped my bouquet of white roses, lacing my arm around my grandfather's.

"Here we go." he whispered. We walked slowly down the aisle, all eyes not moving from my figure. A blush found its way to my cheeks but I kept my eyes on Ash's. His blue eyes sparkled with all the care and love he showed me on a daily basis and I'm sure mine showed the same. When I reached the end of the aisle my grandfather gave my hand to Ashton and took his seat.

We turned toward each other and listened as the preacher read. My veil covered my face but I'm sure Ash could still see my blush and smile.

"And now, the bride and groom have written their own vows." the preacher said turning to Ash

Ash smiled before taking a deep breath "From the very first moment I met you, I was stunned. Your beauty seemed to make my heart race and I couldn't find the words to speak. If it wasn't for my dad I probably would've never said anything." The whole church laughed " Then the first night we actually had a real conversation, you and I played a duet together. I remember how harmonized we were and how you could notice it as well. It wasn't until our first kiss that I was sure I had to try and win your heart. Though we both ran away at first, we eventually convinced ourselves that this might work. Even though life has thrown us some rough curveballs, we've always gotten through them. And when you I finally told me you loved and trusted me, I knew I had won your heart."

I saw my aunt and grandmother crying heavily and I was trying not to do the same. I took a small shaky breath. "Ash, I've had some of the roughest and rockiest relationship anyone could've ever had. And when you came along I thought there was no way out of that rut. But you've changed that. You have saved my life more than once, and you've been by my side since I can remember. You caught me when I was falling towards my demise and you showed me a love I had never known before. I love you Ash, forever and always."

Everyone let out an adoring type of sound at that. The preacher allowed us to exchange rings. I saw Destiny was already crying with black marks running down her face. We placed each others rings on the other's finger.

"You may now kiss the bride." the man said. Ash lifted up my veil and I could see his smile even more clearly now.

"My queen." he whispered softly before placing a soft kiss on my lips, causing the whole church to erupt in cheers.

"May I present, Mr and Mrs. Guerin!" the preacher said as we pulled out of the kiss. Ashton clasped his hand in mine and we walked back down the aisle. I looked back and saw Jack had kissed Destiny. I smiled, seeing the small box in his back pocket. I looked back up at Ash and he smiled back at me.

"Well Mrs. Guerin," he said " what should do next?"

I kissed his lips "How about we go to our after party and share our first dance?"

He gave me a secretive look "Then? After that?"

"Some alone time." I said "Just you and me."

"I love you.

"I love you too my king."
