'I can't believe we're married' Cheryl smiled as they walked into the room they was staying in for the night. 'I can't believe you agreed to marrying me' Toni laughed. 'Well I do love you and you look very sexy in that tux' Cheryl smiled. 'Oh yeah?' Toni smiled stepping towards Cheryl. 'Yeah' Cheryl kissed her wife. It was passionate and it started to get heated very quickly both of them getting lost in the moment. Without any warning the door to their room swung open. 'Really? You've barely been married 15 minutes and you're already trying to rip each other's clothes off, dinner is ready to be served' Veronica laughed 'make it quick or save it for later' she said as she closed the door. Cheryl rolled her eyes while Toni just laughed. 'She always finds the most inconvenient times to burst into a room, come on babe let's go' Cheryl said as she checked her hair and make up. She grabbed Toni's hand to lead her back downstairs.

The hall wasn't too big, there was a long table set up at the front for Cheryl and Toni to sit where they could see their guests. There was also a few round tables where there guest would enjoy their meal. Past the tables there's the dance floor and the bar which they would all enjoy later. Every one of their guests had booked a room to stay the night so they didn't have to worry about getting home. When Cheryl and Toni entered the hall they was pulled into hugs and congratulated by all their friends. 'Wow your dress is so pretty' Carter smiled. 'Thank you little man' Cheryl bent down and kissed his cheek making him blush. 'And you look very pretty too Toni' he smiled. 'Thanks pal' she said ruffling his hair.

One of the waiters let Toni know that dinner was ready. She thanked him and let all her friends know that dinner was ready and to go to their seats. She guided her new wife to her seat with a gentle hand on her lower back. Once everyone was seated and comfortable the waiters brought out the starter, which was a rich tomato soup with warm baguettes. Everyone was glad it wasn't food that was too fancy and it was something that they could actually enjoy. They knew this was Toni's doing because if it was down to Cheryl they probably wouldn't recognise anything on the menu. Light chatter filled the room as everyone enjoyed their meals, the main being a roast dinner and dessert either chocolate brownie or cheesecake. Every single plate had been cleared with all the guests sending their compliments to the chefs.

'Okay I think it's time for a couple of speeches now, right everyone' Veronica stood after all the plates and cutlery had been cleared. Everyone nodded and clapped their hands 'okay great I'll go first' she said. Cheryl playfully rolled her eyes as she looked at Toni laughing at her friends bossiness. 'Cheryl and I have been best friends for a long time now and I've been there for practically every high and every low. She's a amazing friend and extremely loyal, she's always there when I need her even if I just show up out of the blue. And we can agree we've all known from the moment Toni and Cheryl went on their first date they were endgame. Even with everything that's happened from the moment they met to right now they have loved each other deeply and fully. They are the real definition of true love. I couldn't have chose a better partner for my best friend so thank you Toni for loving her and bringing back the smile that I had missed for so many years. I love you guys. Cheers' Veronica said raising her glass.

'My turn now' Fangs said as he stood 'Toni, Sweet Pea and I have been inseparable since we were little kids. Best friends even now. Toni has always been the smallest but she was always the first one to defend her friends, even if it ended up in a fist fight with someone twice her size. She's really tough but the way she got all mushy over Cheryl was quite gross, she was literally a lovesick teenager and she still is now' he laughed 'I admire their love for each other because no matter what in the end, they always find their way back to each other again. I wish you both all the happiest in the world, you deserve it. We love you' Fangs raised his glass and everyone did the same.

Cheryl stood this time 'Well if you'd have told me a year ago this is where I would be in my life I definitely wouldn't have believed it. Standing here with Toni and all of you guys, our very own chosen family makes my heart swell. It's no lie I've struggled a lot in my life, I've made bad choices or done things I shouldn't have but all the bad times seem worth it because I have you' she said looking at Toni reaching down for her hand 'every day I think I can't love you anymore but when I see you smiling or laughing or just being you, I fall deeper. Thank you for asking me to be your wife, I can't wait to spend the rest of our lives making you smile, laugh or even making you mad, cause you know we can't be perfect all the time' she laughed 'thank you for being you and loving me the way you do. I love you Toni Topaz-Blossom'. Cheryl kissed Toni as she sat back down on to her seat. Everyone raised their glasses again cheering as they did.

'Well I guess it's my turn I don't know how I'm going to top that' Toni said standing up 'I mean come on, look at my wife she's beautiful right, I'm hella lucky to get to go to bed with her every night' the boys let out a cheer while Cheryl looked at Toni with a blush on her cheeks. 'She's gonna kill me later' Toni laughed 'but no seriously I feel like the luckiest person on the planet right now, I'm married to the kindest, cutest, most loving person in the world, we have a beautiful home together and we have the best friends in the world but there is something we've been keeping from you. Babe would you stand?' Toni said reaching for Cheryls hand as she pulled her up. Everyone looked at each other in confusion at the way Toni and Cheryl suddenly both looked really nervous.

'Do you want to tell them or shall I?' Toni whispered in the redheads ear. 'You can babe, I'm too emotional and nervous' Cheryl whispered back gripping on to Toni's hand. 'Okay guys, we are sorry it took so long to tell you but we wanted this moment to be special and what could be more special than our wedding day' she looked and smiled at Cheryl before turning back to their friends. 'Cheryl and I are going to be parents. Cheryl is pregnant with our first child!' Tears of happiness fell from the couples eyes just as Toni finished the sentence.
