You get to your room and are relieved Charli isn't even there. You know you need to face her eventually, but not tonight. Besides, she'd just tell Chase and you could already hear his voice telling you to slow down.

Josh was across the hall in his own room packing for an overnight in Las Vegas. Thank God it was only a few hour drive and their wedding chapels were open 24hrs a day.

You popped into his room and he was locked in conversation with Noah:
"So what are you two love birds up to? Last minute weekend getaway?"

Josh: "I promise to tell you everything when we get back."

When you get to the chapel you pause for a moment outside:
"Are you sure about this?"

Josh: "1000% but if you're having second thoughts I need you to tell me."

You: "I'm having zero second thoughts about you."

Josh: "I mean I know we are young, so if you need some time we can go back to the hotel and just enjoy the getaway for what it is... reconnecting."

You: "I just don't want you to regret not having a wedding with your family here."

Josh: "No one gets how crazy I am about you more than my mom. Trust me she will understand."

You grab hold your hand out with a smile and he leads you into the chapel.

Pastor: "Would you like to repeat the vows I have saved, or do you have your own?"

Josh looked at you and shrugged. This was definitely not a planned out night and you hadn't prepared anything, but you answered anyway:
"I want to say something to him and then we can go from there."

The pastor smiled at you and closed his book as you continued:
"I know we are young and people might think we are crazy, but I have never been more sure of anything in my life than how sure I am that you are who I want. Tonight. Tomorrow. In 60 years. The fact that I'm going to get to adventure and grow old with my best friend is the greatest gift I've ever received and I love you so much for giving it to me."

Josh could barely contain himself as he smiled at you with a smile bigger than you'd ever seen. He bent down to kiss you before holding your hand to say his vows:
"I think I've been in love with you since the first moment I met you. I remember stumbling into your dorm room and being completely mesmerized by everything about you. I knew right then that I had to have you. I don't know how that moment led to this one, but I do know if you say I do tonight that I'll spend the rest of my life making you feel as lucky as I do right now."

You couldn't help but reach up onto your tiptoes to kiss him. All of your nerves washed away as he pulled you close and deepened the kiss. The pastor laughed and added:
"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may- well- continue kissing the bride!"
