The wedding day

Jade's POV

3pm.

"Is Luke already out there?" I asked Perrie. "I believe so honey. Don't worry, just don't trip over your dress." "I wasn't planning to! Now I'm scared." "Jade, don't be scared. You're getting married right now! You should be ecstatic!" "I am. I am, I'm just really nervous."

"Don't be nervous." I nodded. I then told the girls the plan. "So, here's the plan. Luke is already out there. Leigh, you'll go out first with Calum. Perrie, you'll go second and you'll go out with Ashton. Jesy, you'll go third and you'll go out with Michael. I'll come out a few minutes later with my dad. That's all."

"Got it." The girls said. They were already in their bridesmaid dresses and they look so beautiful. "You look so beautiful girls." I said, trying so hard not to tear up. They all looked at each other. "Not as beautiful as you." Perrie said. I went in for a big group hug.

"Ms Thirlwall, we have your daughter out here on the carpet, tossing out the rose petals." "Jackie? She's out there? Oh, she must look like a little angel." My heart just felt very happy and safe when I heard that my little girl was out there, starting to wedding.

"Ms Thirlwall, sorry to bother you again but it's time for the wedding to actually start. Perrie, would you come out here please?" She looked at us and said, "You'll be fine. Just keep your eye on Luke." She hugged me ons last time. She walked out and I followed behind her. She walked up to Ashton and linked arms with him.

They began to walk out. That's when they started to play the organ. The two began to walk out. We waited for like 10 seconds and then Leigh was on her way. She gave me a little kiss on the cheek and walked out. She linked arms with Calum and looked back at me, she gave me a thumbs up and she blew a kiss.

We waited another 10 seconds and Jesy was off. "Don't think about it too much, okay Jade?" She said, hugging me. I nodded. She walked up to Michael and his jaw dropped. Jesy laughed and linked arms with him. It was crazy though. I was next. This is my wedding. I'm getting married, right here...right now.

"Ms Thirlwall, are you ready?" She said. I took in a deep breathe. "Your father is waiting for you." She told me, and pointed to him. He waved at me and was waiting. "I guess I should um..I guess I should go now." She nodded and I walked towards my dad. "My little girl, I can't believe you're already getting married."

"I know dad, it feels weird but it feels..it feels like right thing to do." I said, my breathing shortening. "Jade, are you okay? Are you going to pass out?" He said, holding me up. "No dad, I'm fine. I can do this, I can do this." I said to myself. I don't know why I felt like that.

"Okay. Are you sure?" "Yes dad, I'm fine. I can do this." He nodded. He made a signal with his hands that made the doors in front of us open. Everyone all stood up and was looking at me. The pressure was on and the pressure was real. I saw the girls up front and next to them was my soon-to-be husband. He was smiling like crazy and was kinda tearing up.

He loves me. I love him. There's no one else. My dad and I took our time, walking down the aisle and I just kept staring at my girls and my fiancé, Luke. Keep that in mind, my fiancé. Luke.

We finally made it to the end of the aisle and I was standing there, face to face with Luke. He was smiling and cry and I was too. I know that it's okay to be emotional during a wedding but I didn't want my makeup to go anywhere.

"Dearly Beloved, we are gathered together here in the presence of God and this company to join Luke and Jade in the holy bonds of matrimony." He went on to talk about those stuff and all I could think about is this cutie is going to be my husband. He looked down at me the whole time and smiled. I smiled back, through my tears.

"Now it is time for the two to say their vows to each other." The pastor stepped back and Luke went first. "Jade Amelia Thirlwall, you have no idea how much you mean to me. When I first met you on August 8th, 2013, I knew that you and I had something special. I will never let that special bond die because I love you with all my heart. You are one of the most kindest, sweet, loving, beautiful woman I've ever seen in my life. You deserve the world, and I plan on giving you that. You have Jackie with you and I promise to be the best and closest dad she will ever have. I want to make the both of you and I hope that I do for the rest of our lives that we spend together."

I cried and I couldn't help but to let go of his hands to wipe my tears. I looked at him and I couldn't be more in love with him. He's perfect, he's all I ever wanted in a guy and now I finally get to have him.

"Jade, would you like to say your vows?" "Yes." He nodded and let me speak. "Wow, I don't even know what to say. You know that I love with you everything that I have. You make me the happiest when I'm down, you make me laugh when I cry, you make me smile when I have a bad day. Those 4 years have been the best years of my life," That was so hard to say considering the fact that Perrie was right behind me. "I couldn't be more grateful to take you as my loving husband. I have and will forever cherish all the little moments that we spend together. I know you'll be an amazing father to my little girl," I said looking at her. She was smiling at me. "And an amazing husband to me. Thank you for everything that you do for the both of us."

Then the pastor stepped up again and spoke to Luke. "Do you Luke, take this woman whose hand you now hold, to be your true and wedded wife; and do you solemnly promise before God and these witnesses to LOVE, CHERISH, HONOR AND PROTECT HER: to forsake all others for her sake; to cleave unto her, and her only, until death shall part you?"

He smiled at me and said, "I do." with a shaky voice. He was making me cry even harder again.

"Do you Jade, take this man who now holds your hand, to be your true and wedded husband; and do you solemnly promise before God and these witnesses to LOVE, CHERISH, HONOR AND PROTECT HIM, to forsake all others for his sake; to cleave unto him and him only, and him forever until death shall part you?"

"I...I do." I said stuttering. "May I have the rings please?" Perrie and Ashton both gave the pastor our rings. "Beautiful rings!" He said, making us all laugh.

"Luke, repeat after me please, I, Luke Hemmings , take thee, Jade Thirlwall be my wedded wife . . . to have and to hold...from this day forward . . . for better or worse . . . for richer, for poorer.. in sickness and in health . . . till death do us part . . . and thereto I plight my troth."

"I, Luke Hemmings , take thee, Jade Thirlwall be my wedded wife to have and to hold from this day forward for better or worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do us part and thereto I plight my troth."

"Jade, repeat after me, I, Jade Thirlwall, take thee, Luke Hemmings, to be my wedded husband . . to have and to hold.. from this day forward . . . for better, for worse . . . or richer, for poorer . . . in sickness and in health . . . till death do us part . . . and thereto I plight you my troth."

"I, Jade Thirlwall, take thee, Luke Hemmings, to be my wedded husband to have and to hold.. from this day forward for better, for worse, or richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do us part and thereto I plight you my troth."

He then gave Luke and I the rings. He put his ring and my finger and I did the same for him.

"In consideration of these solemn and sacred pledges, I am authorized by the laws of the state of California in your marriage license and by the laws of God in His Holy Word, to pronounce you husband and wife. As I do this, let me remind you that henceforth you are one; one in interest, one in reputation and above all else one in affection. What God hath joined together, let no man part asunder.

May I present to you, Mr and Mrs--"

"WAIT!"
