*Some Months Later*

"This is actually happening, Roxy," I smile as I look myself over in the full body mirror. My make-up is subtle as I try to show off the natural beauty that I havecome to love, and my short hair has been styled into perfect spiral curls.b "All it took was a strange mission while saving the world, and now I'm getting married to the love of my life."

"I'm so happy for you," Roxy strolls around me, making sure my wedding dress is perfect. "You look so beautiful. Gary," she stretches out the name rarely used for Eggsy, "is very lucky to have gotten you to say yes. Though, I know you two are perfect for each other."

I run my hands over the sides of my snow-white dress. "He's my soulmate, and I can't imagine spending my life with anyone else."

A knock comes at the door, but no one dares enter. "Three minutes," comes a male's voices.

"Are you ready?" Roxy messes with my hair, trying to make it look even more perfect.

"More than ready," I rub my thumb over the ring that Eggsy and I bought when we had settled back into the London and Kingsman was getting back onto its feet. The ring is nothing too crazy, just a simple pink diamond cut like a rose.

"I'll get the door," Roxy rushes to open the door for me.

I walk out of the room, glad I chose a dress without a crazy train.

There's a line of people in the wedding party standing before the doors that lead into the church sanctuary. Daisy is up front with Mrs. Pickles and PB, the loveliest flower girls you will ever see. Then JB is behind them as the ring bearer, keeping the rings in a box that he carries in his mouth. Katie is walking with Jamal, and Roxy is with Ryan. Brendan is off to the side to make sure that JB makes it to his spot. Then my father is at the back waiting for me.

"You look beautiful, sweetheart," my father has a loving smile on his face as he links my arm with his. "Your mother would be so proud of you, and I know she would have loved Gary. You deserve this happy ending."

"Thank you, dad. I know mom is watching right now. She's beyond impressed with the woman I have grown to be. She's happy that I have found true love like her," I blink rapidly to keep the tears from falling.

The next few moments fly by as everyone in front of us enters the sanctuary, and soon it is just my father and I in the foyer.

"Gary has been nervous all day," my father speaks up seconds before the doors open in front of us. "He truly loves you with all his heart."

I have no time to respond, as the next think I know, my father is leading me down the aisle towards the best thing that's ever happened in my life. On the way, I spot many people that have helped me along the way: Katie's parents, some of my distant family, Eggsy's mom, all of the remaining Kingsman, and the three Statesman that I have become the closest with. It makes my heart swell knowing all these people would come out to see me on my big day. Even the people I don't recognize that must be from Eggsy's side fill me with such happiness.

My father and I make it to the front of the sanctuary, and only steps separate me from one of the biggest moments of my life.

Eggsy has come down to shake my father's hand. He's in the military uniform and looks as handsome as ever.

"I know you'll take a good care of her, Gary," my father releases my arm. "Thank you for all you've done for her."

"Thank you for letting me," Eggsy grins, reaching out to grab my hand. "I'll protect her with my life, for the rest of my life, I promise."
