We arrived at the church and got out of the limo. We made our way inside as everyone took their place. People were coming and greeted by Grampa and our uncles, except Nixon, as he was preparing for the ceremony.

Once everyone sat, Michael took his place with Major, Maverick, Mia, and me. Uncle Noah came to collect Ma and walked her down the aisle. Then my sisters, along with Piper, got into formation. They made their way down the aisle, then Dad and Lyric appeared at the back. Everyone stood as they walked down the aisle.

They made their way to the front as we all looked on watching Lyric. Lyric seemed so happy. I was glad. When they reached the front, Dad handed her off to Michael.

They turned to face Nixon.

"Dearly beloved, it gathers us to say, thank God. These two finally got their chance," Nixon said.

"Aww, memories," Gema sniffled as Caleb rolled his eyes.

"Now we all know that you two like to play hanky panky, and if you knock her up, Nash won't kill you," he said as everyone laughed.

"Your cousin is still nuts," Bri said to Jaime.

"It's Nixon. He's freaking insane," Jaime told her.

"Now, we will skip the whole if anyone objects because well, no one does, and we need to speed this up. It's been a long time for you two," Nixon said.

"Yep, it's official. Nixon got the bat shit crazy gene from Ma," Jonas said as Cayson laughed, and Grampa groaned.

"Now, without further ado, do you, music sheet, take silent here to be your hubby?" Nixon asked.

"I do," Lyric said.

"And do you silent take music sheet to be your wife?" Nixon asked Michael.

"I do," Michael smiled.

"At least you two know what you want, unlike big daddy," Nixon said, pointing to Dad.

"That is freaking hilarious," Jace chuckled as Dad glared at Nixon.

"Don't give me that look, you tool. You shouldn't have been indecisive, now should you?" Nixon remarked.

"I bet fifty bucks Nash beats Nixon ass," Carson said.

"You're on," Cody agreed.

"Anyway, we established that I marry these two. I now present Mr. and Mrs. Harper. Now kiss, you twit," he said as Nathan said, "thank God."

"No shit," Noah added.

"At least it wasn't boring," Nolan smirked.

Michael pulled Lyric to him and kissed her sweetly. Everyone clapped, and he slid his hand into hers as they walked down the aisle as we followed. Now it was time to celebrate.

We made our way to the reception and inside as they announced us. We made our way inside the hall then said hi to everyone, before taking our seats.

Larkin took the lead.

"I would like to make a toast. Lyric is the best big sister anyone could have. She has been there for all of us when we needed someone, and she deserves happiness. Lyric, you are our fellow sister and quint. We watched you hurt and find someone that helped you love again. We love you, sissy. Cheers!" Larkin toasted.

We toasted as Mia spoke next.

"I'm not good with this. I forget things. Bare with me. Michael, you are an amazing big brother. You take care of me. You love me, and you're patient with me. I'm glad you're happy because big brother, you deserve to be happy just like Lakin makes me happy. I'm glad Lyric does that. Thank you, Lyric, for making my brother happy. Cheers!" Mia toasted.

We toasted, then Noah spoke.

"It's funny when Maggie came to live with us; we were pretty rough on her, then she got our brother to fall in love with her. Because of it, she gave him five crazy, amazing kids. My brothers and I were there when you and your siblings were born. It was at that moment; you touched my heart. Lyric, I am so happy you found you ever after. We love you very much. Cheers!" Noah toasted.

We toasted then it was Dad's turn.

"Lyric, you are the firstborn. You came first. You always had this calm about you. I knew then you would love your siblings like no other. You looked out for them, and I love that about you. Baby girl, you make me and your mother proud. I'm glad Michael could love you as much as I do. I wish you all the happiness in the world. Cheers!" Dad toasted.

We all toasted then ate. Then came the dancing. Michael and Lyric had their first dance. No one could ever deny how much they loved each other. You could see it.

Then came Dad as he danced with Lyric with Ma dancing with Michael. The rest of us joined in, and it was terrific. The Gray and Harper family are coming together.

As the evening wound down, Piper and I headed out. We got stopped by Dad, "Lex?"

"We will head home," I told Dad.

"Be careful," he said.

"Always," I said as I nodded. We went to the car. We got inside and pulled out of the parking lot.

Piper and I talked while laughing. It was a good night as Lyric and Michael would head off to their honeymoon tomorrow. I was happy for them.

I thought about everything and turned to Piper. "I love you."

She smiled, then her face changed to shock. "Watch out, Lex!"

I turned and saw nothing but lights coming at us. Then crash!

We got hit on impact as we bounced inside the car as another car slams into us until....Blareeeeee!
