Harry POV

My heart was hammering on the inside of my chest. The movement so rapid and loud that my ears were pounding. I stand, staring into the floor length mirror, my black tux fitting perfectly around my body and my brilliant red tie standing out brilliantly against it all. A soft white rose is pinned neatly against the lapel of my tuxedo jacket. Louis had done a perfect job of picking it out for me, not like I expected any less from him.

I couldn't wrap my mind around what was about to take place. In just a few simple minutes my life was about to change. Louis had already become the center of my entire universe, but I knew that all along this was what I truly wanted; to be married to the love of my life. To have that ever lasting tie with him. The strings of my heart reaching out to his and looping themselves together for the rest of eternity.

No I didn't need a simple piece of paper that could be washed away at any moment to declare my love and utter faithfulness to Louis. It was more than a documentation or declaration to the world. It was more than just a simple few words said in a ceremony. To me, it was everything I had ever wanted. To be completely devoted to Louis in every way humanly possible. To be able to look on his hand and see a symbol of our love there to stay forever and receive my gazes of love and adoration. To me, it was the very core of my being and what would continue to hold it together.

I knew that with this there would be a lot more trials to face. I knew that people would ridicule us even more or try to shame us but it didn't matter, it never has. I couldn't bring myself to care what the rest of the world thinks because in my world, only Louis and those who loved and accepted us existed. A world that doesn't accept Louis or our love isn't a world I want to be a part of anyways.

With all of the things I feel and my excitement that's building up inside, I can't understand why I haven't brought myself to move away from the mirror and carry myself to the gardens. I know he's standing there waiting on me with a beautiful smile on his face, but my feet wont move. They're tied to the ground like steel cables, forcing me to not move an inch. My heart still beats so fast in my chest I'm almost sure that the only way I'll be moving anytime soon is by the force

of a paramedic.

"Harry?" The soft voice of my mother calls from the doorway. My eyes find hers and the only thing I can search out in the them is sheer happiness. My mum's love for Louis and her acceptance of us as a couple has never been a secret, nor has she ever shied away from the fact that she wanted us together. She knew the happiness it brought me and in turn brought her. "Why are you still standing in here, love?" She asks me curiously.

"I-I can't move?" I question myself, shaking my head at the ridiculous tone of my voice. All the nerves have fluttered up to the surface at once and I found myself barely able to speak now.

"You know, I remember the day you brought Louis home to meet your family," She moves to stand in front of me, fixing my tie to be perfectly pin straight. "Of course we had all met him before but this was different. This was you bringing home your boyfriend and I remember how nervous you were. Your eyes were constantly looking around to make sure everyone was happy and accepting of Louis, but most importantly you stayed right by his side, never once letting him feel uncomfortable or alone." She smiled softly, looking directly into my eyes. "I could tell right then that this was your forever, he would be your forever, and I can't begin to explain the happiness I felt in my heart."

"Where are you going with this, Mum?" I ask her teasingly and she only smiles bigger.

"My point is, that you love him Harry, you always have. You've been through so much that I wish I could take away the pain that both of you have had to live through but I can't. The only thing I can do is tell you to hold on to him tight Harry, cherish the love you have with him everyday of your lives together and never let go. This is Louis, the love of your life, the only reason you choose to still exist today, and as long as you remember that, you'll never live a day of unhappiness."

My face breaks out into a full grin at her words, while they settle down deep in my heart. My arms reach out, pulling her into a hug, holding the one person who has always been the foundation in my life. Tears spring into my eyes but I force them to remain at bay as I pull away giving a soft kiss to her cheek.

"Thank you, for everything." I whisper, taking her hand as she nods.

"My babies are my greatest joy and I'm thrilled that Louis will be forever a part of that. Now, let's go get you married before he thinks he ran you off!" She smiles, pulling me out of the room with her small yet strong frame.

We walk silently out of the house and down to the gardens. The sight before me almost takes my breath away. Every flower and plan has been elegantly groomed, with even more added to it. All around us are lights hanging strategically, tables placed with white linen cloths, and people smiling at me as we walk by, nodding their heads in congratulations. But its moving past all of that, towards the end of the garden that truly takes my breath away.

White chairs are lined perfectly with all of our friends and family turned to stare at me. Everyone dressed up in their best clothes and smiles of adoration adorning their faces. But its none of that, that catches my eye the most. I look past my family, friends and colleagues, only seeing the one person that means the most out of anyone in the world.

Louis

He stands there, smiling so brightly, tears shining in his eyes as he watches me move towards him. It's all I can do not to run straight for him, pick him up and kiss him breathless. His black tuck matching my own wraps around every limb of his body so perfectly outlining each contour of his body. The smirk on his face shows now that he knows exactly the thoughts that run through my mind.

My feet have finally made their way to stand in front of him, only then noticing that my mum has left my side and I now stand with joined hands with Louis. My head turns and takes in every scene before us and I can't help the tear that slips past my eyes. This was the very moment that I, for so long have dreamed about. I never wanted some big and elaborate wedding, but just the simple ceremony with those closest to us.

"Harry?" I look back to see Louis looking at me concerned. "Are you alright, love?"

"I'm perfect," I whisper softly. "Just happy, and surprised."

He smiles even bigger at the success of knowing he managed to surprise me,. My eyes gazing at his, finding the love and happiness we both share in so many ways.

"Today we come together to unite two people as one. It's not a matter of a statement or declaration to the world as it is of bringing two hearts joined together in love. Today Louis and Harry stand before their closest family and friends to unite themselves together, finally as a married couple." My eyes look over to the man speaking the words, seeing his smile towards the both of us.

"Something as great as a love like yours isn't something to be kept quiet or to be ashamed of. It's something that you should feel proud of. Proud of everything you've accomplished and been through together. No great love comes without trial or pain but it's those who love each other through all of it that come out stronger, like you." His eyes look over to Louis and mine follow suit. "Louis, let's start with your vows." Louis smiles with a nod and looks over, his eyes searching mine. He stays quiet for a moment in his search until he finds what he's looking for and begins.

"I've known that I loved you from the moment I laid eyes on you. As cheesy as that may sound it's the truth. Every day since I was 18 you were the first thing I would think of when I woke up and the last thing on my mind as I drifted to sleep," He pauses looking down at our hands. "Harry, you're everything to me. Somehow you managed to sneak your way into my heart and no matter what life brought us through you never left. I've never been more grateful for a single person in my life and I've never loved someone as much as I love you. The years we've been together in happiness are nothing compared to what's to come. I'll love you until the day I die and I promise," He stops, looking sternly into my tear filled eyes, "That won't be until we're both old and ready to die together."

Tears pour out over my cheeks and he lifts one hand to brush them away with his thumb. The moment he started speaking his words I was nervous that I hadn't prepared my own but it all vanished with every word he spoke. He choose to speak from the heart, not a memorized script or line. Every word he spoke was with sincerity and love from his heart. My own heart swelled with love, joy and happiness in the moments he said his words. His stern promise of never leaving me had been the cause of my tears, knowing he meant it and would never again put himself or I through that sort of pain again. I'd never loose him, and that was the only reassurance I needed.

"Harry, would you like to say your vows?" The officiator says and I nod, taking a deep breath,

ready to tell him exactly how I feel.

"Louis, out of everything that's happened in my life, none of it compares to the moment I met you. I'll never forget the feeling I had when I saw you, or the feeling I continued to have and grow everyday even up until now. I felt so safe, secure and in love with you and it was so different from anything else I had ever encountered. You became my world, the center of my universe and that both terrified and thrilled me at the same time. Terrified because I wasn't sure at that time what it meant or how to handle it but thrilled because it started feeling likeI had found the one person that would change my life forever. Lou, I hope you know how so incredibly proud of you I am," I shake my head, letting out a small chuckle of astonishment, "You are quite literally the strongest person I know, to have been through everything you've gone through. Never for a moment in my life have I ever regretted anything with you and if being here with you today, so in love and happy meant that I would have to endure it all again then I would. You have shown me so much devotion and love that I still wake up everyday, shocked that anyone could love me that much, yet you do. I want to cherish and love you for the rest of our lives and spend everyday showing you how much you mean to me and how happy I am that you're still here with me." My eyes search his as my mouth opens to pour out every emotion I feel. "Thank you for staying here with me, Thank you for not leaving me. I love you more than I think I'll ever be able to put in words and I'll forever be happy to show you that everyday for the rest of our lives."

The tears and sounds coming from both of us and even our friends and family would be almost comical if not for the precious moment that was wrapped around us. My arms are aching to be wrapped around him and hold him to me but I force myself to remain where I am and settle for just staring at his beautiful face. The face that I'm lucky enough to wake up and see every morning and know that I get to keep him like my most prized treasure.

"Louis, do you take Harry to be the only one you devote yourself to, love, cherish and be honest with for the rest of your life?" The man asks Louis, a smile evident in his voice.

"I do." Louis grins at me.

"And do you Harry take Louis to be the only one you devote yourself to, love cherish and be honest with for the rest of your life?"

"I do." I smile back instantly.

"Hell yeah you do!" We hear shouted from the crowd, turning over to see Niall pumping his fist in the air, a smile broken out across his face as everyone laughs and speaks out their agreements with him.

"Well it's my pleasure and honor to now declare you both as a married couple, united in love. You may seal it with a kiss."

My body instantly reacts and my arms can't stand the thought of not having him wrapped around me any longer. I grab the sleeve of his jacket, pulling him to me and swiftly placing my lips on his and my arms around his body. He eagerly returns the gesture, grabbing onto the lapels of my jacket and holding me to him as our lips move in sync.

Every day of my life, even before I met Louis was just a work up until this very moment. The moment we became Tomlinson-Styles, our love united as one. Never will another moment be as special or endearing as this one, when I have the only person I've ever managed to love, wrapped in my arms and securely there to stay forever.

We may have once been apart or thought we'd loose each other but there was the undeniable pull that always brought us back together. Our hearts forever tied to the other with a love that could never be broken.

And like all things, Happiness always come in time.
