Somewhat the Beginning (A Falling Skies Fanfiction)

The Wedding

A/N:
Ok, so when I started writing this season I totally forgot that Hal was in a wheelchair, so instead of changing what I already wrote, he's not going to be handicapped at all.

"Are you sure I should be doing this? I mean, do you think the timing is wrong?" I asked Anne as she put my hair up in a bun.

She chuckled, "There isn't any 'right' time for anything anymore, and I know it seems like bad timing because of the mole and everything, but it's better to make it official now. And to be completely honest, I didn't support this marriage, but after really looking at you and Ben together, I see how perfect you two are for each other." Her words almost brought tears to my eyes.

She put the final pin in my hair, "Finished. Now stand up and let me look at you." I did as I was told and she smiled brightly.

"How do I look?" I asked nervously, I've had butterflies in my stomach all day.

"Beautiful." Her eyes started to water.

"So this means you're going to be my new mom now doesn't it?"

"I guess it does. I can't believe I'm about to gain another daughter." She wiped the tear away from her eye. I smiled at the thought of Lexi. Anne gave birth a week ago and most of the time she seems so much happier because of her beautiful baby girl.

"Today, I'm gaining a whole other family." I smiled. The Masons always felt like family, and now it's time to make it official. "So where's my dress?" I asked Anne. Maggie and Hal found a Prom store full of clothes, and I still haven't seen what dress Anne picked out for me.

"I'll go get it!" she hurried to the closet. "Close your eyes!" I did and heard her take the dress out of the closet.

"Ok, open your eyes!"

I did and looked at my dress. "It's perfect!" I smiled and gave Anne a big hug.

She handed me the dress and left the room so I could get changed. The dress was a short, white, strapless dress with a slight neckline curve. There was two beaded lines that made it look like a white belt. Under that, the dress had slight ruffles and the train ruffled to the floor on the back. (Picture on side)

I put the dress on and told Anne to come back in. She entered with a tall mirror; she didn't want me to see how I looked until everything was finished.

"Woah." I said looking at my reflection. The dress fit me perfectly, that paired with my hair made me look like a real modern-day bride.

There was a knock on the door, "Are you two decent?" Tom asked on the other side of the door.

"Yes." Anne answered and Tom entered.

"Wow, you two look beautiful." he said looking at me and Anne, who was wearing a floor length purple dress.

"You look handsome." I smiled. Tom was wearing a simple black and white tux.

"Are you two ready?" he asked.

"As ready as I'll ever be." I grabbed my bouquet from the dresser and followed Anne and Tom out of the door.

We walked down the empty corridor and by the doors that lead outside. We decided to have it outside since the weather has been nice lately.

"Hello beautiful." I turned and saw Danny smiling at me, he was also wearing a black tux and got a haircut.

I put my hands up to my mouth to control my squealing, "Oh my gosh Danny you look amazing!" I hugged him tightly and the rest of the bridal party came into view.
