88.

Finally, the Porsche had turned up and she had gotten into the car. Her dad had smiled and complimented how beautiful she looked, and how proud he was of her. To which Olivia replied, "You're gonna make me cry."

The drive seemed so fast, despite being in a supercar. And soon enough, they were at the church. With the help of her bridesmaids, she was out of the car and getting her pictures taken. She stood behind the church doors, waiting for the signal to begin walking. She linked arms with her dad, her heart beating ten to a dozen. She was marrying her best friend and the love of her life. Today.

The music began to play and she took slow steps down the aisle, her bridesmaids following behind her. She saw Jeff's face, his eyes turning slightly red as a tear fell from his face. He smiled and wiped his eye after turning away from the crowd. Olivia looked over to the best men, David, Todd, and Scott who all stood smiling cheerily at her. She finally arrived at the altar, her father handing her over to Jeff. As her dad sat down and the music stopped, she faced Jeff with her hands in his as they began the ceremony. The whole ceremony, she was in a daze. She couldn't take her eyes off of Jeff. He looked so amazing and every second looking at him felt like the first. She fell in love all over again every smile she received, every hug, every kiss. Now it was time for vows, Jeff going first.

"Olivia Mayer, before I met you and our group of friends. I was in a bad place. I had just gotten out of prison and was trying to find a way for myself. I had no purpose in life and nothing to my name. And after meeting you, I wake up every day with a purpose. I wake up and want to do things, I want to see you and be with you and talk with you. I want to spend every second around you. From the start, you've shown me how to have fun and be myself. You've shown me a love so passionate and deep and heartwarming, I never want to lose that. And marrying you today has been all I've ever wanted since I knew I loved you. And I finally get to do it." He spoke, wiping his eyes every so often. Next was Olivia.

She opened her note up, shaking as she read it. "I don't know if I'll be able to read this without crying." She whispered. Jeff chuckled and looked into her eyes.

"I wanted this to be funny yet still get my point across. My point being that I love you and I'm so happy to be marrying you. But in order to give you the full version of my love, I'd need an entire 1000 page book. Every memory I have with you, every laugh, every hug, every kiss, every late night drive to 7/11, every hour we stayed up watching TV, I will cherish them forever. And after the state of my last relationships, I had sworn of LA boys for good. Luckily, you're from New York." She started. The crowd laughed. "But I knew this relationship would be different. Because I always kind of knew you were the one, since we'd become friends. And I'm so glad the first night I met you, we were completely shit faced drunk and dancing. Because the morning after, you showed me you cared for me. And that's when I began to really like you. Every day with you has felt like a dream. And I don't think I want to ever be awake again."

With the exchange of rings and 'I do's, the pair kissed and were cheered out of the church, on their way to the reception. They hadn't seen it yet so they'd hoped it was good. Jeff drove himself and his new wife, everyone else making their own means of transport.

"I can actually call you my wife." Jeff spoke, happiness present in his voice.
"It's so weird." Olivia responded. "I love it."

The reception was beautifully designed and she knew she'd have to send out some 'thank you' cards after her honeymoon. When they arrived, everyone was seated and Jeff began his speech. Olivia looked up at her husband and watched him make his speech, everyone cheering as he handed the microphone to Olivia's father.

"I remember when Olivia was little..." He started. Olivia held her hands to her face, laughing to herself as she knew her dad was sure to embarrass her now. She sat hand in hand with Jeff, kissing him every once in a while.
