Chapter 1:

Poppy's POV:

Don't be afraid. DON'T be afraid!

I squeezed my eyes shut as my stomach filled with butterflies. Katelyn gave me a hug and put both of her hands on my shoulders.

"Poppy, hey, your going to be fine. Are you getting cold feet?" Katelyn asked warmly and I shook my head fiercely.

"Never. It's just... There are A LOT of people, and what if I trip!? It will be ALL over the press!" I rushed out, bouncing up and down nervously.

"Poppy stop jumping you're going to rip your dress! And you're not going to fall, okay? Look I'll hold you up if you fall. Your going to be a beautiful Mrs. Styles." Katelyn said sweetly and I felt tears spring to my eyes.

"Thank you." I whispered. Just then I heard the music start up and the bridal party started to line up. Then my little flower girl started to throw white rose petals over the green grass, creating an aisle way.

The wedding ceremony was perfectly decorated. It took place outside in Minnesota, and it is July 21, 2013. Huge green trees surrounded little benches for everyone to sit on. Everyone got to write a wedding wish on a piece of paper that was attached to a vintage key. Then the person would tie the string that held the key and note together on a branch of the main tree that was over the altar. It was dark outside, it was 8 o clock, so we had lanterns that were decorated with white roses, light up the aisle way.

"Are you ready?" Katelyn asked me excitedly. I nodded, looking down at my bare feet.

Yeah you heard me right, it's my wedding, so I'm going barefoot. Besides I wouldn't be able to walk in grass in heels so... Yeah you get the picture.

"Okay, here we go." Katelyn whispered before linking arms with me and starting up the aisle way. Everyone gasped and stood up, smiling and crying. I blushed a tiny bit and kept my eyes on the ground, ordering myself not to trip.

Then I felt Katelyn's hand pull my chin up, to make our eyes meet. She smiled and stopped walking, signalling that we were finally at the altar.

I MADE IT WITHOUT TRIPPING!

I did my happy dance, doing the running man and twirling around, before realizing where I was.

Oh shit. I can't believe that I just happy danced at my own wedding, which happens to be ON TV!

Everyone started laughing and I blushed. I distinctly heard Harrys deep and sexy chuckle from in front of me. I still hadn't looked up yet. I'm too scared to see what people think of my choice of dress, hairstyle, husband... And yet again I HAPPY DANCED! I mean the press is here for cripes sake!

"You may be seated." The pastor instructed the congregation warmly and everyone sat.

I felt Harry's hand pull my chin up, and finally our eyes locked. Harry's beautiful green eyes were sparkling like I've never seen before and his dimples practically took over his entire face as he beamed at me in adoration.

That look, made all my nervousness go away. I'm marrying the man of my dreams.

As the pastor read some bible scriptures, I looked around a bit for the first time.

All the groomsmen were wearing black dress shirts with white roses and Tiffany blue ties. Of course paired with black dress pants as well. Harry had on a black tuxedo with a white dress shirt and a Tiffany blue rose. Each and everyone of them looked classy, and I smiled.

The bridesmaids all had short black strapless dresses with a diamond studded Tiffany blue belt. They were SO cute on each of them. All the bridesmaids went bare foot like me, and their hair was down.

The groomsmen were Louis, Niall, Zayn, and Liam of course. For the bridesmaids there was Perrie, Danielle, and Eleanor. My maid of honor was Katelyn, and she also stepped in for my dead parents by walking me down the aisle.

By this time in the ceremony, we had gotten to our vows, which Harry and I had decided to write ourselves.

"And now Harry, your vow." The pastor encouraged. Harry took both of my hands and smile the biggest smile I had ever seen.

"Poppy, I promise to always love you and care for you forever. When we're out on a tour, and relaxing in a hotel. When we're playing intense Mario Kart with the group at home. When we're old and watching our grandchildren play in the backyard. I will always love you, be your best friend, and be your partner in crime. I love you forever and always." Harry said sincerely, giving my hands a squeeze.

I wiped away a few tears and took a deep breath, looking at Katelyn. She gave me an encouraging smile and a thumbs up.

"Harry, I promise to always believe in you and be your number one fan. Which is saying a lot, judging that your a member of the number one band in the world." I giggled and the congregation laughed. Harry chuckled and stared into my eyes.

"I promise to love you unconditionally, and with all my heart for as long as I live. And as far as I'm concerned, I'm not living unless I'm with you, Harry. You are my life and I love you so much." I said, crying.

"And now by the power invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife! You may kiss your bride," The pastor said and Harry pulled me down into a dip, as the crowd went crazy and press camera flashes went off around us.

But the only thing I paid attention to was my new husband, Harry Styles.

And who am I, you ask?

I am Poppy Olivia Styles, Harry Styles wife.
