This chapter is dedicated to my friend Drea! Thank you for supporting me from the beginning and always reading every single chapter. Letting me know how you liked it! You hyped me up since the start and if it wasn't for you I would second guessed myself so much! MWAH! I love you!

It was all over now and they could all finally move on with their lives together.

Five (5) months later.

One and half (1 1/2) week till Christmas.

It was the most wonderful time of the year, not just Christmas time, it was the day of Elias' and Nova's wedding.

The whole castle was bustling with life as everyone got ready to go to the wedding venue. The night before, the bride, her mother and her bridesmaids went to stay at a resort in Gothenburg, which made the groom sad as he missed her so much.

Whole night he was moping around and sulking, until Benjamin, who was his best man, told him to remember that tomorrow he was marrying the love of his life. Now on the day itself, he was freaking out in the dressing room and feeling like he needed to throw up. That is how nervous he was.

In the resort in Gothenburg, just like a fiance, soon to be husband, she felt like she was going to be sick with nerves. The love she held for him was so strong, but she was psyching herself up for something to go wrong.

Lyra walked up to her daughter and held both of her hands in her's. "Breathe, my little star everything is going to be okay. We are all going to make sure that nothing will go awry and you are going to have a beautiful wedding."

A few minutes later everyone was calm and back to getting ready. Hair and makeup was one, now it was time to put Nova in her dress.

Sliding into it, they zipped her up and spun her around to face the mirror. Gasping, she stared at her reflection, not being able to comprehend that this was her and this was actually happening.

The dress was a pure white trumpet styled gown, lace adorned the bodice with designs swirling down to the base, off the shoulder, lace long sleeves covered her arms. A royal veil was pinned to the back of her head, finishing off the whole look. The whole ensemble made her look like a goddess, show casing her gorgeous curves that she came to love.

Nova's hair was curled and let loose , cascading down her back with a french braid falling down the middle. She wore her signature red lipstick and very natural eye makeup.

All the bridesmaids, including Lyra were dressed in emerald green, a- line gowns that had a sweetheart neckline and slits up the left side, mid thigh. Their hair was done up in braided buns, their makeup as well was a smokey look, paired with a a champagne colored lip gloss.

Back at the castle, the guys were finished getting ready, with the groomsmen wearing matching colored ties to the bridesmaids. Elias' tie was the same shade of red as his wife's lipstick.

Finally everyone was ready and clambered into their individual cars or trucks.

The venue was at a magnificent mansion in the heart of Stockholm, where the wedding ceremony itself would take place in the ballroom and the reception in the garden out back. The theme was a vintage and Christmas because they both wanted the wedding to take place at this time of year.

All of The Odin's Riders MC members arrived, going straight to the gigantic room to take their seats or positions, while Elias stood outside the doors to have a last minute talk with his parents.

Mitch and Freya Nordin could not believe that their son was finally getting married, they wanted to chat with him before the ceremony begun. Especially since he was their only child because it was extremely dangerous for her to have another child after him.

"My little Eli, your father and I are so unbelievably happy that this day has come. You know how long we have been awaiting this day as well as you know how much we love that little Nova. I just wanted to say I am so proud of you and everything you have done. I am still so sorry I could never give you a sibling like you have always wanted. I love you so much."

"Before you speak up, my son I want you to know that I am extremely proud of you and how well you have been leading this club. Your grandfather would be rolling in his grave, celebrating for you have done things he and I could have never accomplished. I love you so much."

Dabbing his eyes, he knew how special this day was for both of his parents and how heavily the weight of him being their only child was bearing  down on them.

"I love you both so much and I could not ask for better parents. It's okay that I may not have siblings, I am sorry for never understanding why till now. Even though I'm the only child, I have Benji and he's like the dumb, younger brother I wanted so dearly. Thank you so much for being here for this special day."

Embracing each other, they want through the doors and take their places, with the doors closing behind them.

Four (4) minutes later they swung back open to reveal the bride and her mother, who would be giving her away.

Nova's breath was blown out of her at the sigh of her man standing there in an all black suit, with his messy chocolate curls and a beautiful grin. She could not wait for the minister, who was of course, Ivan to announce them.

Stepping onto the altar, Elias whispered to her, "You look absolutely breathtaking."

"Thank you, so do you."

Turning to look at their friend, he shook himself and looked at the crowd of all their family,

"Ahem, dearly beloved we are gathered here today to join these two amazing souls in holy matrimony. Now if anyone objects to the bonding of these two, say now or forever hold you pee, I mean peace. Benjamin, put your fucking hand down."

Laughter erupted through the ballroom at the ridiculousness of it all, it would not be an Odin's Riders event without something stupid.

"Since no one objects- you better keep your mouth shut man. Since no one objects, we will continue on the vows."

Turning to Elias he asks, "Do you take Nova to be your lawfully wedded wife in sickness and in health till death do you part?"

Smiling at his soon to be wife, "I do."

"Nova, do you take this idiot- Elias to be your lawfully wedded husband in sickness and in health till death do you part?"

"I do."

"May we have the rings?"

Astrid stepped forward and placed the respective rings in the couple's hands.

"With this ring, I promise to love you forever and to cherish your heart. Never leaving your side through tough times and to always be a guiding light for you." Once those words left her mouth, she slid the thin, silver carved wedding band onto his left, ring finger.

Holding her hand, Elias said, "With this ring, I promise to love you even after death and to cherish your heart. Always sticking by your side, being your guiding light and protector." After that he slid the silver, channel styled wedding band with emeralds onto her dainty finger.

Ivan beamed widely at the two and uttered the words they both wanted to hear so badly, "I now pronounce the two of you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Grabbing her face, he placed his lips gently onto her and kissed her, pouring all his love he had for her into it.

Picking her up into his arms, he carried her out of the ballroom and to the garden, where everyone soon flowed out to. The reception was wonderful and as the night came to an end, they shared a kiss under the stars once more.

"You ready to on our honeymoon Mrs. Nordin?"

THE END.
