Elizabeth

"Oh my god, no, the flowers should be lining the aisle. Does she have the bouquets yet? No! Get them up to the room! Now!" I shouted into the cell phone. It was the day of Louis and Eleanor's wedding, and I was running around like madman trying to get everything in order.

I was wearing a royal blue, sleeveless, high neck lace dress with nude heels. My hair was again, half up, half down and secured with a decorative bobby pin.

Everything was calm for a moment, when I realized something going very wrong. "No! That silverware goes to the Grand Ballroom! It should already be set out!" I sighed. "Is anybody working competently around here?" I made a final check on the room where the wedding would be, and I felt someone snake their arm around my waist. I jumped and turned around.

"God! Niall!" He giggled and kissed me.

"How's everything going?"

"Disastrous."

"Aw,babe, it can't be that bad!"

"Yes it is! The bouquets aren't up in her room yet, and God knows if Louis and Harry are even in their tuxedoes yet and the silverware isn't set up and the aisle runner hasn't been rolled out yet and everyone is arriving within minutes!"

"It'll work out, you can do this."

"What if I can't?"

"Impossible." He kissed my forehead. "I'm going to get the boys in place, and you are going to get all of this done. I promise. I'll see you at the aisle." I hugged him and he left.

I went and got everything done, and soon, the guests filled the room up to the brim. I ran to the bos' hotel room to get them downstairs. I knocked, and Harry answered.

"Hey, Elizabeth."

"Hi, Harry." He let me in. "Lou, are you ready?"

He smiled nervously. "Of course, let's go." He stood up, and gave me a hug. I smiled and told them to go downstairs. Ali would be down there to get them lined up at the right time.

I rode the lift to the next floor, where Eleanor and her bridesmaids were. Megan let me in. I saw Eleanor. She was wearing a mermaid style gown, and the bottom flowed out in all its glory. She had a flowing veil, and the most wonderful smile.

"Oh, Eleanor, you look positively gorgeous!" I hugged her. "Oh, shit, my mascara." I said, wiping my eyes. "Alright, let's get you hitched!" I exclaimed like a true redneck, and no one understood. "Okay, too American." I said and they laughed.

We got downstairs, and I watched as all the bridesmaids walked down the aisle, and finally, Eleanor was left. "Darling, you look absolutely incredible." I hugged her and she went down the aisle, and I cried at their love, hoping I could be as happy as them someday.

Niall

After everything was sorted out at the reception, Elizabeth sat down next to me. I told her, "Love, this is an absolutely beautiful wedding. You did good, lass." She kissed me.

"Niall, I need alcohol. Now."

"Alright, I'll get you a beer." I came back with a beer, and we sat and ate. Then, the speeches came. Eleanor's father, her Maid of Honor, and Harry made speeches. Then, Louis and Eleanor got up and Eleanor took the mic.

"Hello everyone! We'd both like to thank you so much for coming, and celebrating with Louis and I. This has been such an absolutely brilliant night, and I have to say, I'm not responsible for any of it." The room laughed.

"A young girl came into our lives this summer, and she spent most of her free days working on this wedding, perfecting every last detail. Elizabeth, none of this would have happened without you." The room applauded, and Louis took the mic.

"Elizabeth, Eleanor and I cannot thank you enough for making our wedding so incredible. You have been so great, with Eleanor when she couldn't decide what kind of vase should be on the tables, and what ribbon to put around the flowers, and me, when I tried to wear Toms in the wedding. You made everything so perfect, and we would like you to take something as a token of our appreciation."

I looked over at Elizabeth, who had the most gracious smile on her face, and she looked happy, and beautiful. She was frozen.

"Come on then, love." Louis said when Elizabeth didn't stand up. Everyone laughed as she stood up and went to the front of the room, and stood next to Lou.

"Elizabeth, thank you for everything you've done for us. This is for you, hope you have fun with it." He took an envelope out of the inside of his jacket and handed it to her. He motioned for her to open it immediately.

She did so, and when she saw the inside, her mouth dropped open and she crashed into Louis with a hug, and then hugged Eleanor. I could see the tears in her eyes, happy tears, of course.

"Why don't you tell everyone what it is, Elizabeth?" Louis put the mic in her face. She was gasping for air as she cried.

"It's a round trip back to America to see my family!" She hugged Louis again, and then came to me.

"Oh my god, this is so amazing." She said, and I smiled. She looked so happy.
