How Long Will I Love You: Ellie Goulding
'How long will I love you? As long as the stars are above you, and longer if I can.'

'To Calum and Olivia!' Michael, who was Calum's best man toasted. We all raised whatever glass we had in our hand, mine being champagne, to the bride and groom sitting down at the wedding party table at the front of the reception.

I was seated on a table with my friends, as Luke was apart of the wedding party, obviously.

'She looks beautiful, doesn't she?' Milly said and I nodded. Olivia's wedding dress was very modern and mostly made of white tulle, with a beautiful bohemian floral pattern adorning the tulle. The top half was a deep v-neck, with shoulder tie accents and an exposed back.

'She does, her dress is perfect for her,' I said with a smile before taking another long sip from my champagne glass.

'I hope my dress is as pretty as Olivia's on my wedding day,' Izzy sighed and I could see Jack's eyes widen at the mention of marriage since I know neither of them are planning on getting married anytime soon.

'I'm sure it will be,' I said with a grin and Izzy just smiled back as we continued to finish our dinner before Calum and Olivia took to the floor to have their first dance.

'Hey gorgeous,' Luke whispered from behind me and I smiled as I leant my head against his chest. I had not had the chance to see him much today, due to him being involved in the wedding party and all of that, not that I minded.

'Oh hey, long time no see,' I said softly and I felt him laugh quietly, both of us keeping our eyes on Olivia and Calum who seemed to be floating on air.

'You look beautiful by the way,' Luke said before kissing the top of my head, sending butterflies through me. I was wearing a silk pink and grey gingham dress, which was short-sleeved and each just about mid-thigh. My hair was in loose curls, my makeup more natural than normal as I did not want to take away from the dress and it was a wedding, after all, I did not need to go full glam on myself.

'You look very handsome,' I said, smiling to myself. All the boys, including Calum, were wearing navy blue suits with the groomsmen wearing soft pink bow ties and Calum wearing a soft pink tie.

'Just for you,' he whispered, wrapping his arms around me and I smiled as Olivia and Calum finished their first dance and the DJ began to play Ellie Goulding's 'How Long Will I Love You?'

'C'mon, let's go dance,' I said spinning around to face the boy I got to call my own. His hair was getting longer again, curls framing his face just the way I liked it, but then again, I liked his hair when it was short and flat too.

'You know I can't dance Sienna,' Luke laughed and I shook my head as I pulled him onto the dance floor and placed my hands on his shoulders and he instinctively placed his on my hips, a cheesy smile in his face.

'I'll teach you, it isn't that hard I promise,' I said honestly and I began to teach Luke how to slow waltz, not without him stepping on my toes a few times though.

'Where did you learn to do this?' Luke asked as we continue to sway, my head now resting on his chest.

'I think my mum taught me,' I said honestly with a giggle and Luke just laughed as he kissed the top of my head.
