The reception was at the hotel we were staying at, so that made it easy to touch us our hair and makeup before Liz took our pictures. The reception area was beautiful, round tables were set up around the large dance floor half with mint table cloths and half gold. The wedding party’s table had a mint cloth, with gold trimming.

“Wow, this is amazing.” My mom said as we walked in going to look for her seat. A few people were already there, including the One Direction boys.

“I don’t remember seeing you boys on the list.” I joked walking up to the table they were at.

They laughed. “You’re lame. I clearly remember the group text with you in it saying we would be here.” Niall’s thick Irish accent bellowed as we laughed.

“Take a joke Nialler.” I laughed. “I see you boys have found the bar. Lets not have a repeat of my birthday though.” I said giving Harry the ‘mother’ look.

He threw his hands up. “Hey. Louis is the one who challenged me.”

I shook my head laughing. “Weirdos.” I said as Ashton walked up.

“Wheres the newlyweds?” Liam asked.

“Probably couldn’t wait for the honeymoon.” Zayn said, earning a laugh from everyone at the table.

“They should be here soon, Liz wanted to take a few more pictures of them.” Ashton said trying to breath from laughing. As if on cue, they walked in, hand in hand, huge smiles on their faces.

“Everyone. Here is my baby brother and my new sister in law!” Calums sister said over the mic.

Ashton and I said bye to the boys, and headed to the table. Everyone ate, joked, and eventually it was time for the speeches.

I stood up and tapped on my champagne glass. “As made of honor, and best friend. It’s my job to give a little speech. Toni.” I said pointing at her. “You have been my best friend for so long, and we have so many memories. Like going to Kroger at almost one in the morning for ice cream and Hot Pockets, only to have you yelling at the Uscan to take your money. Picking you up at sketchy bus stations before you got your car. We have so many memories, but most importantly, I can say that I have you as a best friend. Whenever I needed someone, I could always count on you, and vice versa. You were there when I thought no one was. And here we are, one the day we have talked about for years. I love you, both of you. You enjoy that honeymoon.” I said winking at them, knowing that Toni had no clue. Everyone clapped, and Toni wiped a few tears from under her eyes. Ashton got up, gave me a kiss and took the mic.

“My turn.” Ashton said smiling a devilish smile. “Calum Thomas Hood, we have some memories. From keeks to Twitcams. Picking on each other on stage, everything. But much like Alli’s speech to Toni. I’m glad to call you one of my best friends. Granted, when I first saw you guys on YouTube I thought you were mucks. But you guys saved me, and I’m so thankful for it. You and Toni have a bright future ahead of you, I’m expecting a few little kiwi feet running around. I love you guys. Now. Its. Time. To. Party.” He laughed his adorable laugh.

“Wait!” Harry called out. Everyone looked over.

“We have something for you guys.” Louis said as all the boys stood up.

Ashton handed Liam the mic as the other boys picked one up.

“We got you gifts, but this is our main gift.” Zayn said as music started.

Toni’s face lit up. “For your first dance, we are going to sing Strong.” Niall smiled.

Calum stood up and took Toni’s hand leading her to the dance floor. The boys started singing, and Toni and Calum started to dance, not taking their eyes off of each other. It was so sweet, once they were done, everyone clapped, they hugged the boys, and Toni took a mic.
