"Lilo, you look beautiful!"
I looked at my Dad in his suit and tie and smiled, blinking back more tears. "Thanks dad. You look so smart!"
He puffed his chest out and smoothed his jacket with pride. "Why thank you." He grinned, even though I could see his eyes shining with the beginning of tears. "Are you ready?"
I took the arm he offered me and linked mine into it, before nodding and following him through the doors of the hotel. Outside the main doors was a white Aston Martin. I gasped and squealed with excitement. "I can't believe you hired one!"
"I only wanted the best for my only daughter." He smiled.
I stood on my tiptoes to kiss him on the cheek before sliding inside. My dad got in after me and we waited for the other cars, containing my mom, brother and friends, to leave before us.
I watched as the cars in front pulled away and placed my warm hands on the cool lather of the seats. I was so nervous. My dad, sensing this, squeezed my knee and gave me a reassuring nod. "You're doing the right thing." He said, his powerful voice filling the back of the posh car. "Let's get this show on the road!" He chuckled.

(Harry's POV)
I stand on a stage in front of thousands of people for a living, so why was I nervous now? I cleared my throat for what felt like the millionth time before turning around to face the boys. They were all in matching black suits and ties, except Louis, who was wearing a bow tie. They grinned reassuringly and Liam nodded, knowing exactly how nervous I was feeling, after all, he'd been here not so long ago.
"You'll be fine, dude." He smiled.
I sucked in a breath and smoothed the front of my suit down. The piano music suddenly filled the church. I looked up from the ground to see the wide wooden doors swing open.
Lilo's mum and her brother came through first. I'd always been worried thatDeucedidn't like me but we'd hit it off straight away. He was only two years older than me so we had a fair bit in common. Her mum was amazing, she was so nice and absolutely hilarious and she looked lovely in her purple dress.
Up next came the three bridesmaids. They were wearing light grey dresses that were fitted to the waist before flowing out slightly, they only came to the knee. My attention quickly moved away from them as I looked over their shoulders to the door. I couldn't see her. My heart sped up. I looked to Liam, scared that she wasn't coming but he mouthed "wait" and winked. I looked back to the door just as everyone in the church stood up in a wave, the ones nearest the doors first and the ones nearest the altar last.
I caught a glimpse of her dad, wearing a smart black suit, looking unbelievably proud. His arm was out and on it was the tanned arm of the woman I was about to marry. My eyes trailed from her arm to her bare shoulders. Her hair's long…I've never seen it long. It was curled slightly and rested just at the top of her ivory dress. I liked it.
"Ivory. I knew it." Zayn whispered behind me.
I barely heard him, all my attention was on Lilo. The bridesmaids were at the front now so I could see all of her.
She looked perfect.
The dress was what I'd heard Lilo refer to once as "mermaid" style. It was fitted right down to the knees before floating out and it looked as though it were made of lace, with a slight pattern to it. Her sun kissed skin was flawless against the pristine dress. She looked unreal.
Before I knew it she was right next to me. I couldn't move my eyes from her shining hazel ones. Her dad pressed her hand into mine. I clasped the delicate fingers in mine and definitely didn't want to let go. She smiled as her dad kissed her on the cheek and whispered in her ear before moving off to stand by her mother.
I smiled at my soon to be wife and watched her smile her beautiful smile back. I love her so much. I wanted to stand there, staring at her forever, but the priest started talking.

(Lilo's POV)
My god he looked stunning. His hair was perfect and his green eyes shone against his tanned face. I squeezed his strong hand in mine and took a deep breath to stop myself from crying again. I caught my brother's eye over Harry's shoulder and he winked at me, causing me to giggle quietly.
My eyes quickly went back to Harry as he was asked to say his vows. He repeated what the priest said as he looked me straight in the eye, a lop-sided smile spread out across his beautiful face.
It got to the point I was desperately waiting for. Harry looked at me, winked and smiled "I will." His voice filled the church, making me weak at the knees and my heart speed up to about 200mph. It was my turn now.
I suddenly felt very nervous. I hated being the centre of attention and this was definitely the part I was least looking forward too. What if I said something wrong?
I repeated what the priest said, surprising myself when I didn't stumble. I took a deep breath before saying my bit. Unlike Harry, I wasn't used to standing in front of hundreds of people and there were 2oo here today. Nervously, my heart skipped a beat and I spoke quietly, yet audibly enough that everyone heard.
"I will."
The next bit happened in a blur. The rings were blessed and swapped between us. Before I knew it the priest was finishing up and announcing "You may now kiss the bride."
Harry pulled me towards him by the hand, before placing his hands gently on either side of my face, the warmth of his body had already warmed up his platinum wedding ring that matched mine exactly. He didn't need to pull me towards him, I was moving! My lips met his and he kissed me passionately, but not too passionately that the priest wouldn't be grossed out. It felt like it lasted forever and it definitely felt as though fireworks went off.
The guests in the church cheered as he pulled away and I laughed as I heard my dad awkwardly clear his throat. I wasn't his little girl anymore. Harry adjusted my hand in his and led me back down the aisle. This time the soundtrack was the applause of our friends, family and guests, not the piano.
The thick wooden doors swung open and the crisp, sunny January, air whispered against our skin as we stood on the steps of the church as a newly married couple.
