I was smiling like an idiot. I was in my white dress that showed off my slim waist. All of the guests stood up as Peter walked me down isle. Zack, Jack and Rian were smiling at me. Alex had his back turned but gave in and looked at me. He smiled his cute smile. He wouldn’t take his eyes off me until I got to where he stood. 

“You look beautiful,” he whispered into my ear as the priest stated talking. 

“The bride and groom have written their own vows,” the priest said before Tay handed me the paper with my speech.

“Alex, I remember the day we met. It was a few days after Zack and my dad died and I remember you walking over to me and I had no idea who you were, but, you sat down next to me and you hugged me. I remember crying on your shoulder and you telling me everything was going to be alright. Then you asked me if I wanted to come watch your band practice. I said no first time but then you held my hands and got on the floor and practically begged me until I said yes. Alex, you made me feel happier when no one else could. When Zack and my dad died you cheered me up and let me cry on your shoulder. You were there for me when no one else could help me and when everyone else wouldn’t help me. Alex, I love you so much.” 

Everyone aww’ed and Alex kissed me.

“That was lovely Alice. Alex?” Jack handed Alex his vows.

“Alice, it was the day of our high school prom and I was so scared to ask you to go with me because I was afraid you’d say no just like how scared I was of asking you to marry me. I asked you the day after I met you because I’m not going to lie, I liked you. Before I came and spoke to you that day, Zack had told me about you and showed me photos of you and the first ever one he showed me I thought wow, she’s beautiful. The way Zack always described you was like the girl I always wanted. Now I get my fairytale. Alice, you look beautiful. I lost my brother,” Alex began to cry but he continued “I loved my brother, not in the same way as I love you, and he took a part of me with him. I thought that I’d never get that part back but then when you came to that show in Cambridge I got butterflies. After high school I never thought I’d see you again and that made me so unhappy. Now that we’re here now I feel like the piece that Tom took with him is slowly returning. Alice I love you, so much.” He said tears now streaming down his face.

Most of the guests had tears in there eyes including me. We exchanged rings and the priest spoke more.

“I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may now kiss the bride.” The priest said before Alex pulled me into a long kiss and the guests cheered. Alex and I walked down the isle to the doors and everyone was throwing confetti over us. We got into the white limo and drove off to Skyline Hotel. We had flown to New York separately earlier that day. 

When we all sat down in our seats of the ballroom. There were tables scattered in the room with white clothes over them, red and white roses in vases in the center of the tables, place names with black lettering and shining cutlery with a napkin in between. The chairs had white clothes over them with a red bow on the back. It was perfect. Before the food came out, Jack stood up with his glass and taped his fork on the side of it gently so he could get everyone’s attention.

“Uh, hi everyone, I’m Jack Barakat.”

“You’re not at a support group Jack,” Alex joked and everyone laughed.

“Haha, thanks Alex, anyway uh, I remember when Alex, Zack, Rian and I were all in one room because Alice was out with Tay shopping and Alex was holding this black velvet box in his hand asking us how he should propose. Whether he should do it at a concert or in private. So Zack said that he should do both and he did. The private one was low fuss but nice and cute. I remember being squished under Zack and Rian when we had our ears against the hotel door listening to what they were saying and then I remember sitting in the bus with Alex and we kept saying random ideas of how he could propose to Alice onstage then he realised that he’d miss Alice so much when she would have to go stay with Bam until our tour ended so he came up with the idea that on the last night he’d propose onstage and then we went through the lyrics of every song we could think of that Alex could propose to her during then it hit us that the perfect song was Remembering Sunday and we talked about what the perfect way to propose that way would be so we decided to ask Tay to help us and she came up with the idea of proposing at the obvious point in the song which was the ‘I’m gonna ask her to marry me’ part and it would be before Alice would start singing, the last chance Alex would have during that song to propose how Tay suggested and we tried it a few times and we decided it would be perfect and when I went onstage and handed Alex the box his hands were shaking and he was smiling like an idiot, I was so happy for him so here’s to Alex and Alice.”

Then Alex’s dad stood up.

“I remember the first night Alice came over for dinner and he came running into the house and ran to me and started jumping around screaming and yelling that the girl he liked was coming over for dinner tonight and he was so happy he made us all clean the entire house and make everything perfect, I’d never seen him so eager to have a girl in his life before and when she arrived he was smiling so much I’d never seen him so happy. I can’t help but remember Alex got up to help Isabella in the kitchen and I asked Alice if she had a nice time tonight and I asked her if she liked Alex. She said yes and I was so happy for Alex but I didn’t tell him until today I don’t know why actually but I cannot believe that that long ago Alex and lice were in love and I never thought it would get to a point so strong they’d get married so here to Alice and Alex, may they have many, many years together.”

Then everyone started chanting kiss, so Alex and I kissed and the guests cheered and one or two wolf whistled. Then to my surprise, Matt stood up.

“Well, I’ve known Alex for ages and before he met Alice he was sad most of the time and when he wasn’t, he was writing songs or having band practice. Then when he worked up the courage,”

“Guts more like,” Alex laughed.

“Okay guts to finally talk to her he changed. At first none of us knew why he was so happy or what happened then gradually he started telling us what happened. Thank you Alice for coming into Alex’s life he’s changed and it’s making all of us happier now he’s happier and he actually performs better onstage now too! So thanks Alice! To Alex and Alice!” 

Then Tay stood up.

“Well, I can’t say much except that Alice and I have been friends for a long time and that the only reason I’m touring with All Time Low is because Alice convinced Alex to let us have a shot at the big time, but anyway, uh I’ve loved planning this out with Alice and Alex, it’s been fun, emotional and just awesome! I remember how hard Alex tried to get me to show him a picture of Alice in her wedding dress and he gave me some tempting bribes but I didn’t want Alice to miss the expression on Alex’s face when he saw her for the first time in her wedding dress and that was a priceless smile and I have a photo of it for Alice, anyway Alex and Alice I hope you two have many happy years together and if you ever have kids then I get to be known as Auntie Tay or Annie Tay, I prefer Auntie Tay though. To Alex and Alice!”

After we ate, the tables and chairs were quickly cleared away and All Time Low sang their songs in acoustic versions to fit the wedding mood then Bam decided to talk.

“Hey everyone, I’m Bam and I’m helping film Straight To DVD 2,”

“Oh crap why you?” I accidentally said out loud and everyone laughed.

“Yes I am and don’t worry I won’t ruin this I just wanted to say that Alice has helped me through some tough times and Alex is very lucky to have her as his wife! To Alice and Alex.” The I decided to talk.

“Well this isn’t the end but I just want to thank all of you for coming and I won’t be singing until Alex and I have had our first dance to ‘Dream Catch Me’ because that’s the first song Alex and I danced to at our high school prom. Anyway I’ll let everyone get on with their own thing now so see ya later!”
