Easton's POV:

Today is the day, I'm marrying the love of my life in front of all of our family and friends.

It's been a busy few months, not only planning our wedding but celebrating Alena's first birthday as well.

For Alena's birthday, I wanted to go all out and host a huge event, but Aubrey reminded me she's one year old and won't remember a thing about it and I'll have plenty of opportunities to throw party's for her when she's older. Understanding she's right, we choose to have a small picnic in the park with our closest friends and family.

Of course, Alena was spoilt and enjoyed all the attention she was getting from everyone, she's so much like her mother sometimes, it scares me that my one-year-old poses for the camera on command, lucky she's so cute.

"How you feeling?" Nate questions as he makes his way into the room

"Good, I feel good." I nod as I look myself over in the mirror.

This morning has been very causal for us boys, we spent the morning eating and playing video games and with about two hours to go we all decided it was time to start getting ready. I wonder if the girls have had it this easy and stress free.

"The planner wanted me to tell you all is ready to roll and Aubrey is almost ready as well." Dad speaks as he makes his way in

"Ready to go then?" I turn to them with a smile

"Ready" they say in unison

"I'm proud of you son." Dad adds getting a little emotional on me.

Aubrey's POV:

Looking at myself in the mirror I take a deep breath.

"You okay?" Amara questions

"Yeah I'm fine, just starting to feel a little nervous."

"Don't be, Easton is on his way now, he'll be waiting for you when you arrive and you look so, so beautiful"

"As do you." I admire Amara in her purple gray coloured bridesmaid dress

"Is she ready?" Evie sticks her head in with a grin

"I'm ready." I nod and turn to face her

"Oh gosh, come and show everyone." She gasps

It's been a long morning. Because there are so many of us all getting ready together, our stylists arrived at 8am, first was make-up and then hair.  If I didn't have so much adrenalin running through me, I'd surely be asleep right now.

I step out into the room and look around at everyone. Everyone looks so beautiful, Amara, Kassie, Evie and Sophia in their floor-length soft tulle off the shoulder bridesmaids dresses and Shay and Angie dressed in knee-length dresses.

"Mamma"

Then I spot her. Alena who is standing next to Sophia dressed in her matching white dress

"Oh my baby, look at you." I pick her up and kiss her cheek, causing her to giggle

"Holy shit." Sophia smiles taking in the moment" You look so beautiful"

"Thank-you." I smile feeling tears well in my eyes "You look so beautiful as well, look at this bump" I place my free hand on her pregnant stomach with a smile

"No, no, no, no tears you'll ruin your make-up" Shay laughs and wraps her arms around me, Alena on my hip. "You look stunning, my son is a lucky man."

"I'm so glad I have you as my mother in law." I admit as I hold her and she holds me

"Stop, you're going to make me cry." She laughs and pulls back from the hug.

"May I have a moment?" Angie questions

"I'll take Alena, see you in the car." Shay takes her and heads out

"Of course." I nod "I'll meet you in the car." I tell the girls who all blow kisses and make their way out the door

"I wanted to give you these." Angie smiles "this was your mothers, she had me keep for if this day ever to come and she wasn't there." She hands me a small, white gold diamond necklace.

"Oh my god, it's beautiful."

"Your father gave it to her on their wedding day, and she wanted it passed to you, once your turn arrived."

"Thank-you, so much." I smile holding it in my hand. "Will you put it on me?"

"Of course baby."

I spin around and she clasps it around my neck. "Perfect" she smiles in the mirror.

I turn back to face her and give her a hug "thank you, Angie, thank-you for everything you have ever done for me, I wouldn't be who I am without you."

"Oh my sweet girl, I'll always be here for you." She holds my cheeks in her hand.

"Shall we go?"

"One more thing." She hands me a simple white gold and diamond bracelet.

"This is Claire's" I gasp

"Yes, we gave it to her for her twenty-first birthday. I think she'd want you to wear it." She clasps it around my wrist

"Woah." We hear from the doorway and I turn to see Caleb all suited up and ready to go.

"Do I look okay?" I smile

"You look beautiful." He smiles back "I uh, I hear you might need someone to walk you down the aisle?"

"Oh, you did huh?" I smile

"I was thinking, maybe, I could walk you? Give you away to Easton?"

"I don't know." I think for a moment "I mean you don't really like him, you might not give me away." I giggle

"Trust me, you're a pain in my butt, I'll gladly give you away."

"Hey!" I whine with a laugh but nod my head "I would love for you to give my away."

"Let's go then, the car is waiting."

***

We arrive back at my home, and there are cars everywhere. I knew our wedding was going to be on the larger side but when you see this many cars it all becomes a little daunting.

We make our way into the house and to the back door. I peek around and see Easton standing there with Nate next to him who is holding Oli, followed by Leo, Reid, and Nicho down the line.

As our songs begins to play, Amara makes her way down first, followed by Evie, Kassie, and Sophia. They all stand opposite their partners and turn to the door waiting for me.

Holding Alena on one hip, I link arms with Caleb with the opposite side of my body and we walk down the aisle together, towards Easton

"Holy shit." He smiles as he watches me, tears welling in his eyes.

When we reach I hand Alena to Amara to hold, and turn to Caleb with a smile "thank-you." I kiss his cheek

"You're welcome." She smiles and kisses my cheek in return, then hands my hand to Easton. "She's all yours." He smiles and walks away finding his seat next to Romee.

"Good afternoon everyone." The celebrant begins the usual speel. As he's speaking I keep my eyes locked on Easton who is looking incredibly handsome with his hair slicked back, and only the tattoos on his hands showing. I'm so lost in him I don't hear a word the celebrant speaks until he says my name

"Aubrey, would you like to start?"

I take a deep breath and drop Easton's hands as Kassie hands me vows to read. "Growing up I always believed fairytales, I read books about princesses finding their prince and how both of them know from the moment they lock eyes on each other that it was forever, and in the end, they ride off into the sunset together and live happily ever after."

"I always dreamed that one day I'd find that but the older I got the more I realised that things like that only happen in movies, and books, that it wasn't real. That was until I met you. I knew from the moment you sat next to me on that bar stool of your club that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. There was something about your presence that made me feel calm, something about your eyes that drew me in and something about your cocky grin that made me smile. I knew from the moment I looked at you, that I was in trouble." I giggle softly

"In the time we've spent together our life has been far from fairytale nor has it ever been perfect, we have our ups and downs and we've had to deal with more than I ever knew life was capable of throwing our way, but with every hurdle that's popped up, we've managed to jump it together and I am so thankful to have you by my side because, without you, I don't think I could have done it."

I take a deep breath "Easton, you are the only person I want to wake up to every morning, the only person I want to see before I go to sleep, the only person I want to grow old with. I love you, always and forever."

"Easton." The celebrant nods

"Aubrey, before I met you I didn't know how much I needed you in my life. I thought I was fine, I thought I was happy being young and careless and sometimes a little wild." He smirks softly causing me to giggle

"But then I met you and everything changed, I changed and not because you wanted me to but because I knew that if I was ever going to have you by my side I needed to be a better person, not just for you but also for myself."

"You've shown me a new way to look at life, your bubbly, fun-loving personality and constant want to be around others, always wanting to be close to friends and family, always entertaining, always smiling has made realise the best things in life are free. We have been through so much together, and even though I don't understand why sometimes, I'm so glad you're still by my side. I am so thankful to have not only you but also our beautiful Alena and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you."

"Rings please." the celebrant speaks once more.

Nate hands Easton and I our rings and we turn to the celebrant once more

"Easton, please place the ring a the tip of Aubrys finger and repeat after me. I, Easton, take you Aubrey, to be my wife."

"I, Easton, take you Aurbrey, to be my wife"

"to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health."

"to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health."

"to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part."

"to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part." He finishes with a smile as he slides my wedding band onto my finger.

"Now Aubrey, please place the ring at the tip of Easton's finger and repeat after me. I Aubrey, take you Easton, to be my husband."

"I Aubrey, take you Easton, to be my husband."

"to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health."

"to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health."

"to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part."

"to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part." I slide the ring on his finger and we both turn back to the celebrant.

"With the power invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Easton, you may kiss your bride."

"Finally" he grins as he pulls me close and presses his lips to mine.

Smiling against his lips I return the kiss as our family and friends clap and music begins to play once more. Once we pull back from the kiss I turn to Alena and smile as she claps her hands watching us as if she understands. The moment she see's us watching her she holds out her arms to us.

I take her into my arms and give her a cuddle, kissing the top of our head.

"Never did I think I'd ever be standing here, not just with you, but with our daughter as well, you both look so, so beautiful." He presses a kiss on both of our heads.

***

The rest of the night went without a hitch, as it should. Dinner was amazing, a few of the boys did speeches which made everyone laugh and everything was decorated beautifully but above all else, we were surrounded by our family and friends and that's all that mattered to me.

As the dancing begins to start and the drinks are flowing, I sit for a moment taking it all in, everyone is so happy, and we blend so well as one big happy family. It's moments like these I think about my parents. I wish they were here, I wish they could have met Easton and Alena. I wish Claire was here, I wish she could tell me, I told you so, I knew you'd end up marrying him, and I wish she had the chance to meet Alena, she would have loved her so much, but I'm sure they're watching over me, us, all of us.

"Are you planning on dancing with your Husband?" Easton questions with a grin as he holds his hand out to me

"I guess I could, I mean after all you did teach me." I take his hand and allow him to pull me to my feet.

We make our way out onto the dancefloor, and I wrap my arms around his neck as he places his hand on my hips, and I smile looking up at him as we dance in circles. "This day could not have been more perfect."

"I agree." He nods and presses a kiss to my lips

"Dadda" Alena calls from next to us. We both break the kiss and look in her direction, a smile spreading across my face as we watch Chet dancing with her, holding her in his arms as she giggles. He spins once more and she faces us again. "Dadda" she calls again giggling as she watches Easton.

"Hey baby." He laughs and takes her from Chet "Do you want to dance with me?"

"I'll trade you." Chet smiles and takes my hand.

Smiling back I place my hands on his shoulders and we begin to dance together. "I'm glad to finally see this day come."

"Me too, I didn't think it was ever going to happen, especially not after we thought we lost him," I admit "Easton is it for me, if he hadn't of come home I would have never gotten married, I would have never been without anyone else, there is no one else for me."

"And no one else for him." He smiles "The two of you are made for each other just like Amity and I, Charlie and Zay, Shay and Lane, everyone has that one person they're meant to find and spend forever with, and I'm so proud to officially have you as my granddaughter."

Feeling the tears welling in my eyes I nod my head. "Same," I whisper unable to talk without becoming a mess.

The music changes and everyone starts to dance crazily, the drinks finally setting in. I giggle softly as I watch them and Chet and I move apart once more. "Enjoy the rest of your night." He makes his way over to Amity.

I look around and spot Easton and Alena sitting together on her play mat, as I make my way over I spot something else, something that surprises me. Kassie and Reid sharing a kiss out of sight from the guests.

After Claire's death, the night of the shooting at the bar Reid and Emmi went their separate ways, Reid wasn't ready to open up to her about why he had a gun that night, and she said she wasn't able to be with someone who was lying to her. He was hurt at first, but after some time he was okay, she ended up moving back to Australia and we haven't heard from her since.

So seeing Kassie and Reid together brings a smile to my face. While I wasn't aware that anything was happening between them, they sure would make a perfect couple.

"Are you seeing what I'm seeing?" I ask Easton as I sit down next to him.

He looks in the direction and smirks "Finally, he finally did it."

"You knew?" I asked surprised

"Come on, it's Kassie, he's always had a thing for her."

"He has?" I question thoughtfully

"Yes Sweetheart, always." He laughs and wraps his arm around me. "We should really be getting this little one to bed, she's fighting her sleep but she looks so tired." He picks her up and rocks her in his arms

A moment later Shay appears above us "I'm going to put Oli to bed, do you want me to take Alena as well?"

"That would be great." Easton stands up and hands Alena to her, she snuggles all sleepy

"I'll bring the monitors down once I have them asleep, oh and Aubrey the girls are waiting for you to throw the flowers."

"Right" I stand up "better not keep them waiting." I make my way over to the table and pick up my flowers, I get the DJ to change the song to all the single ladies and have him announce that anyone not married needed to join me on the dance floor.

Once everyone was up, I threw the flowers behind me and turned around waiting to see who caught them. Just like I had hoped, it was Amara.

I make my way back over to the boys and place my hand on Nate's shoulder "Look like we're up for a trip to the jewelry store."

"Already been," he smirks down at me
