Okay i'm going to skip over the wedding perp stuff cause I have no clue how to plan a wedding.

I'm so sad that this is at an end, i've enjoyed writing for you guys so much, your comments have made me so happy and I glad you all like it as much as you do :)

Also to the side is a picture of Reyes and Ares for those who dont know who the people who I vision to play Reyes and Ares they are Dan and Phil, dan is the lieft and Phil is the right :)

So here goes nothing!

_____________________

I pushed my hair out of my eyes with my hand and sighed 10 minutes till I was going to be married, thats 600 seconds and yet I felt so unprepared for this moment. My dad - sensing my distress - began to rub small circles on the back of my hand with his thumb.

"Everything will be fine Lissy, Anita and Samantha did a great job of planning this and it will all be fine" he said soothingly making me relax slightly.

"Lissy listen to your dad, Reyes and his family love you and you dont have to worry about your brothers getting shitty at him for being with you cause they already see him as a brother" Lily said from my other side, she did have a point about Reyes' family loving me, they welcomed me to their family with open arms and were very helpful and nice during the few weeks it took to plan the wedding.

"Are you sure everything will be fine, theres no wires to trip over or pig Face's in the church right?" I mumbled looking down at the ground hoping with all my might that Pig Face and his mother were well out of our kingdom.

"We're sure, there are armed guards everywhere and they've been sent back to their home, you dont have to worry" my father said as he started to rub larger cirlces on my hand.

 "You say that now but what if they havent left?" I began to panick and sweat.

"hey dont seat off my face" Neva Scolded lightly as she applied more lipstick so my lips looked more red then they already were.

"Thank you for doing my make up I dont know what i'd do with out you" I smiled at her, I really meant it when she started working for my dad after mum died she kept us together she stopped dad from going off the deep end and she stopped me from killing my brothers.

"Oh you'd crash and burn same as your father" she grinned at me sweetly and hugged me before kissing my cheeks "you look beautiful" she patted my cheek and nodded at my dad before walking off into the great hall to take her seat in the front row of the 300 chairs that were set up for the guests.

"I still say she likes you" I mumbled to dad while I leaned into his side and laughed slightly when he tensed.

"It's go time" Sandra said when the music started up the doors swung open and Sandra walked in first then Lily - who was my maid of honor - then it was my turn. Dad kept our steps at a steady, slow pace as we made our way down the aisle. Smiling and nodding at the nobles and other royals who had traveled the world just to be here and show their support. Cameras flashed all around as the paparzzi took their shots as I drew closer and closer to Reyes who stood next to Ares and Eli, all three of them had grins on their faces.

Finally making it to Reyes I smiled back at him when my dad took my hand and Reyes' and put them together, dad kissed my cheek and and took his seat next to Neva and Colton. We faced the celibrent who began to talk as eveyone settled.

“We are gathered here today, In the sight of God, And in the face of family and friends, To join together Reyes Sherman and Lisbeth Akerman in holy matrimony; Reyes, do you take Lisbeth for your lawful wedded wife, to live together after God’s ordinance, in the Holy estate of matrimony? Will you love, honor, comfort, And cherish her, From this day forward, Forsaking all others, Keeping only unto her, for as Long as you both shall live?”

Reyes looked deep into my eyes and confidently said “I do”

The celebrant then turned to me and began to speak, 

“Lisbeth, do you take Reyes, For your lawful wedded husband, To live together after God’s ordinance, In the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love, honor, comfort, And cherish him, From this day forward, Forsaking all others, Keeping only unto him, For as long as you both shall live?” I began to shake and tears prickled in my eyes “I do” I rasped out past the lump that had formed in my throat.

 “I under stand you both wrote your own vows” we both nodded and grinned at each other knowing that our vows were slightly clichéd.

Reyes and I started to talk we both had written the same vows “You are my lover and my teacher,” Reyes began.

“You are my model and my accomplice,” I said grinning

“And you are my true counterpart. I will love you” I whipped away my tears of joy as he spoke which made Reyes grin grow wider.

“Hold you, and honor you” I croaked out past the still growing lump in my throat.

“I will respect you, encourage you” he whipped away a tear that was running down my cheek.

“And cherish you, in health and sickness”

“Through sorrow and success”

“For all the days of my life.” we finished together I mouthed an ‘I love you’ to Reyes and he mouthed one back to me.

“May I have the rings” the celebrant asked Jack who stood with Jeremy – Reyes’ 3 year old nephew - and helped him hand Reyes the ring he was going to give to me.

Sliding the ring on my left hand smiled and grabbed the other ring that sat lonesome on the red velvet pillow that Jeremy was holding steadily, time slowed as I slipped his ring on his ring finger.

“You may now kiss the bride” the celebrant said standing back as more flashes went off Reyes leaned forward and kissed me deeply making everyone in the hall cheer and making my heart flutter. We pulled away from each other and turned to the crowd smiling and laughing we made our way down the aisle together stopping to talk and hug our loved ones.

*At the reception*

"Congratulations" Jack yelled over the talking that was going on in the forground of our table.

"Thanks Jack" I yelled back hugging my brother tightly.

"We love you, ya know that right?" Colton asked pulling me into a bone crushing hug he kissed my cheeks.

"i know" I mumbled hugging him back.

"Oh I totally hate you" Xavier said in his most girlest voice he could achieve "You got married before I did" he gently slapped my face and grinned when I slapped him back.

"Not my fault your considered the ugly sister in this fairy tale" I hugged Xavier and pulled away only to be pulled back into his embrace.

I smiled as Eli made his way over to me and shook Reyes hand, he pulled me into his arms and held onto me tightly "You're my sister, Forever and Always" Eli mumbled into my ear.

"I know" I mumbled back burrying my face into his chest i laughed slightly but began to cry, even though I wasn't going anywhere it felt like I was leaving and never coming back.

"We'll see each other everyday don't worry" he smiled and handed me over to the capable hands of Reyes.

"It's time for the first dance" he said into my ear kissing my neck lightly.

"Okay" I mumbled whipping away my tears I held onto Reyes as he lead me onto the dance floor once the music began he pulled me close and hummed along to the song that we and chosen to dance to "I love you" I mumbled burying my face into his shoulder.

"i love you too" he squeezed me back and pulled me closer to his chest.

It was time to start our Happily Ever After.
