Caroline's POV  

I gather my thoughts as I close the door and head back downstairs. I walk out the back door, everyone is talking and smiling, not bad, Caroline, not bad. I look around once more until I spot Stefan and Damon talking.

Damon's POV

Stefan and I are just talking when Blondie approaches us.

"We can start the wedding whenever you're ready." She tells me.

"I've been ready for 7 decades." I tell her. She smiles and nods before walking back inside the house. Here we go.

Everyone finds their seat as the maid of honor and best man walk down the aisle filled with the smirk on my face, he smiles and nods. I look back over to the aisle. The traditional wedding song starts to play as everyone sitting rises from their chairs. I could feel my heart start to race. Then in a split second, I see Elena. I take a deep breath trying to fix my racing heartbeat, but nothing helps, I guess my heart is just as happy to see her as I am. So beautiful.

Elena's POV

He has that glimmer in his eye like the first time I told him, with my right head screwed on, that I love him. He gives me one of the biggest smiles I've ever seen on his face. Jeremy walked me down the aisle. Although I do wish my dad was walking me down this aisle if he was still alive. I wish my mom was here too, to see me the happiest I've ever been. I kiss Jeremy's cheek and he smiles back at me and takes his seat as I join Damon. His eyes are glued to mine even when the priest started talking. Everyone fades away.

Sounds fade away. Just us. Just us in this moment. Without saying it verbally, he tells me he loves me. We both snap out of it as we both hear the priest ask Damon something.

"Damon, do you take Elena to be your lawfully wedded wife to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?"

He looks back at me. "I do." I start to tear up.

"Elena, do you take Damon to be your lawfully wedded husband to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?"

I smile as the first teardrop runs down my cheek, "I do."

"By the power invested in me, by the state of Virginia. I now pronounce you, husband and wife. Damon, you may now kiss your bride."

He smiles and grabbed me by my waist and kisses me, so... passionate.
