I smile down at tara and I hear our family behind her start to whistle and clap and tara says "I love you so much dahlia I have loved you ever since I've laid eyes on you. I never wanna be apart from you ever my best friend my partner and I feel like I can be myself around you. When we got separated from heath on our run you didn't think twice about jumping over that bridge. I could have been dead but that still didn't stop you from making sure you got to me you literally jumped off a bridge for me.
I always said if I found a girl who would do anything for me as I would for her I would marry her and love her until I die so Dahlia Rose Dixon will you do me the honor and make me the happiest woman in the world and marry me?". I feel tears start to roll down my cheeks and I grab the box and stand her up and wrap my arms around her neck and nodd against her neck and I whisper "yes". She giggles and I close the box and she asks "do you love the ring?". I giggle and I whisper "I love you" I smile at everyone and I exclaim, "I said yes don't worry" rick dies laughing and tara picks me up and I wrap my arms around her neck. I slide the ring onto my hand and couldn't fight the tears or the smile on my face and when I finally get a good look at the ring and I say "holy shit it's amazing".
Tara dies laughing and rick starts to laugh at my reaction and I ask her "how did you know I wanted a blue diamond engagement ring? I never told you". She sends me a smile and she says softly "your dad he told me blue was your favorite color". I smile at him beside rick and carl and I say "I'll be right back" I walk over to daryl and I hug his neck he returns my hug and I ask him while hugging him "will you give me away daddy?". He takes a deep breath and he says "I will" I find myself smiling against his shoulder and his arms tighten around me.
I feel like that moment right there mended whatever broken fences we had left.

When the day of the wedding had arrived I was standing in mine and tara's bedroom while she was getting ready at rick's house. I find myself smiling in the mirror when my eyes fell onto the black floral dress with spaghetti straps that crossed over my back. I even seen hints of red on the dress and from my knees down the dress was see-through. I had borrowed the dress from 'Rosita' and I take a deep breath and I see Chrissy walks inside the room and she says "oh dahlia you look beautiful".
Her red dress I had made it and it fit her like a glove I was surprised it did I thought it would be a bit baggy on her but it wasn't. The red dress complimented her bright blonde hair and it did wonders for her figure once it was time to go I walk downstairs and see dad standing in the kitchen in a black button-up shirt. I smile at him and when he sees me his face lights up rosita hands me a bouquet of Cherokee roses and my hair was curly and he says "just one more thing missing". I send him a confused expression and he brings out a Cherokee rose hair clip and pins back a curly strand of my brown hair.
I smile at him and he says "there we go" he smiles down at me and I ask "where's yer vest?". He smiles at me and he says "it's at rick's want me to go get it?" I nodd eagerly and I hide behind the door and he goes and grabs the vest and comes back with it on. I smile at him and he asks "ready to go?" I nodd and we stay hidden behind one of the houses and I was so nervous that I was afraid I would trip and I say softly "just don't let me fall, dad". He bumps my arm I look at him and he says while looking at me "never it's alright you'll see yer girl soon".
I take a deep breath and once Jensen and Chrissy start to walk down the aisle her arm wrapped around his Chrissy and Jensen had started getting closer since the fall of negan. She is convinced herself that she likes him but he doesn't like her which is complete and utter bullshit but it's gonna take him doing something for her to realize it. When we get in front of the chairs that were set up in the middle of Alexandria. I finally look up and see tara waiting for me at the end of the aisle with Father Gabriel right in front of her.
