SHORT FANFIC- MFK Part 3

Sorry it's so long (that's what he said)


The day before our wedding, I had forgotten all about what had happened with Anthony and I. All of my attention was focused on how I was going to look like and how my brides maids were gonna look like and that I was going to become Mrs. Turner.
I was at the church we were getting married in when I saw someone familiar come inside. I knew I had seen her before, somewhere but I couldn’t pinpoint exactly where.
She came up to me in a solemn way. “Hi, I’m Elizabeth…I’m the girl who…I…uh…saved Ian from what you were about to do…”
My whole body turned to jello. I didn’t know what to say.
“I just wanted to let you know that I forgive you too. I know what happened, that you were threatened to do something you didn’t want to do. And I also wanted to say sorry for putting you in the hospital. I just…I didn’t want Ian to get hurt.”
I nodded but still couldn’t find the right words to say. Somehow I ended up asking a simple question,
“How did you find me?”
“I…well, I had been following Ian around town and when I saw him talking to you in the parking lot I got more interested. I followed you both to your house when I witnessed you knock him out and take him inside your house. I was scared but knew I had to do something. That was when I kicked down your door, saw you with a gun to Ian’s head, and hit you as hard as I could with a baseball bat I found. I am so sorry, but I had to save Ian. He’s my idol…my inspiration. I loved him before he even knew who I was, and now…now we’re together. I also wanted to thank you for that.” She smiled at me and touched my shoulder. I was sort of disgusted by the way she had described what happened but I also felt a strange friendship forming.
I gave her a half smile, “Thanks. Now, excuse me a moment, I have some business to do.” I said as politely as I could.
“Oh of course, congrats on your big day by the way!”
“Thank you!” I immediately got excited and nervous. I was about to get married…to Toby Turner.
I started to get a little light headed so I sat down in a pew. Flowers and ribbons lined down the pews, it looked exactly the way I wanted it to. A couple of friends and family members were helping to decorate the building next door for the reception.
The guest list was insane too. Toby had YouTube friends I had never even met before, so being a former YouTube fan, meeting them would be a tremendous honor. I was excited to see who was going to show up and who I was finally going to meet.
I felt someone tap my shoulder so I turned around.
“What are you doing? You’re not supposed to see the bride before the wedding Toby, that’s bad lu—” Toby kissed me before I finished my sentence.
“Just wanted to see how you were holdin’ up babe. Don’t want you passing out before we get married. THAT’S bad luck.” He laughed.
I couldn’t help but smile and laugh along. His laugh, the one sound I could record and listen to on repeat. It was the sound I wanted to hear forever and ever, and today was the day we were going to prove to each other truly how much we loved one another.

A couple of hours later I was downstairs changing into my wedding dress. It was white with a pink ribbon tied around the waist and matching flowers embroidered the bottom of it. It was sleeveless which squeezed my boobs together and made me a little uncomfortable but I was definitely willing to turn down comfortableness for beautifulness. Toby hadn’t seen my dress yet and I made sure he wouldn’t ‘til the ceremony started. To be fair, I hadn’t seen what his tux looked like.
My maid of honor, Dallas helped me with my hair piece; it was a silver clip with pearls on it. She clipped it to the back of my curled hair and stood back, looking at me with tears in her eyes.
“You look gorgeous.” She said as a tear slipped past her cheek.
I giggled, trying not to cry with her, “Thanks. Don’t cry, or you’re going to make me cry. And I have too much makeup on for that.” I laughed as I wiped away her tear.
She stared into my eyes, “You listen to me. You are going to love this man more than any man you’ve ever loved before. You treat him right and be a good wife to him, okay? You are too special to lose such an amazing guy as him.”
I nodded and hugged her. She hugged back and we remained there hugging for well over twenty seconds. Finally she stepped back and took my shoulders as we heard the music start playing upstairs.
“I think it’s time to go.” She smiled. My heart skipped ten beats and I tried not to fall over yet again. Luckily I was wearing flats, an idea I was sure to thank my mother for.
All the bridesmaids gathered up and faced me. In the group there was my best friend Dallas, my other best friend Amelia, an internet friend I couldn’t get married without, Robin, and Toby’s best friend Justine. They all smiled at me and gave me a small hug before walking out the door and finding their groomsmen to walk down the isle with.
I took a deep breath before leaving the room myself. I saw all the ladies meeting up with their partners; Toby’s best friend Jack, his brother, and my two best friends Jayce and J. We all walked up the stairs and into the chapel they went, pair by pair. Finally, I heard Toby and my song start to play. It was the song that was playing when we first met at E3, “Zelda’s Lullaby”. We had hired a harp player to play it perfectly.
I took my father’s arm and the doors opened to reveal a church full of family and friends. They all stood up and I held back tears as I looked at my Toby. He was dressed in a black suit; his jacket and shirt were both black but his tie was a dark shade of pink and the flower pinned to him matched it all.
I slowly walked down the isle, not looking at anyone but Toby. I couldn’t dare to do so. I was scared that I’d look at someone who was crying and then just start crying myself. When we got to the end of the isle I turned to my father and hugged him as he handed me off to Toby. The music was still playing so we all waited until the beautiful melody was finished. I gave my flowers to Dallas so Toby and I could hold hands. We looked at each other and smiled as wide as we could.
“You look absolutely breathtaking.” Toby whispered to me. I hiccupped back a cry and giggled.
When the harp player was done, everyone sat down. Our pastor began talking about marriage and what part God played in all of it. Unfortunately, I was too focused on not crying and staring at Toby to pay attention to what he was saying.
When it was time to exchange vows, Toby was up first. I just knew this was where I was gonna lose it.
“My beautiful Alina, when I first saw you the first thought I had was, ‘this girl is stunning.’ I knew that we were going to have something, and hoped that something would take us far. And here we are, two years later getting married. I never thought I’d be this happy, never dreamed that I’d be marrying such an incredible woman. You are the first thought when I wake up every morning and the last thought before I go to bed. You’re the reason I want to live forever, so I can be with you until the end of time. I never thought I could love anyone as much as I love you. My life has been full of unfulfilled expectations and here you are, fulfilling them all. Thank you for being my girl, and I couldn’t be happier with anyone but you.” Toby couldn’t stop smiling the entire time. I was sure all of my makeup had smudged down my face by now. What I wasn’t sure of was if I was going to be able to speak.
“Ever since I was a little girl, I have dreamed of getting married to the perfect man. I still can’t believe I’m here, living my dream with the man I love. Toby, I have never loved any man more than I love you.”
I heard a cough from the pews and turned my gaze towards the congregation. I saw Anthony walking up the isle and out of the church. The doors quietly shut behind him. I gulped but turned back to Toby and continued, “When I first heard of you I wasn’t sure if I’d like you even though my friends said I would. I watched your first video on YouTube and slowly fell for you. When I found out I was going to E3 I knew I had to meet you and I prayed that God would bring us together. For once in my unsatisfying life I got what I wanted. You are what I’ve always wanted. I’m so thankful and grateful to know you and I wouldn’t want it any other way. You are my dream man and I love you more than what I can put into words.” Toby smiled and wiped away the tears that fell onto my cheeks.
We exchanged rings and our pastor talked a bit more before he announced us,
“I now pronounce you man and wife. Toby, you may kiss your bride!”
Toby leaned in and I wrapped my arms around him. We kissed in a way we had never kissed before. It wasn’t raunchy like when we made out, or cutesy when we were in public, it was soft and light and…wedding-like. It was perfect.
The harp player started to play as we walked down the isle. Everyone stood up and clapped and woo-ed and whistled. I had never been this happy in my life.
When we exited the chapel we went outside with the bridesmaids and groomsmen to take pictures. It took a while but when we were all finished, I went to go find out where Anthony went.
I found Ian and Lizz sitting at a table with Anthony no where to be found.
“He went home.” Ian answered my puzzled expression.
My heart cracked a bit, I was regrettably sorry about what I had done to him. I wish I could’ve taken it all back. But this was my day, and I was determined to not let anything bring me down.
The wedding reception hall was gorgeous. All the decorations had been put up exactly how I imagined it and Toby was just as stunned as I was.
The night was perfect, we had so much fun dancing and laughing and starting our life together. The food was great, the people were amazing, and I couldn’t have asked for anything more than what I got.
When the night had come to an end, more and more people came up to us saying goodbye and by the time I knew it, all that was left were close friends and family members.
“That was a beautiful wedding.” Lizz said as she walked up to us with Ian. He had his arm around her.
“Thank you so much.” I said smiling.
“You look gorgeous.” Ian spoke up and I blushed.
“Thank you.”
“Thanks for coming guys, so glad you could make it.” Toby shook Ian’s hand before pulling him into a hug. He gave Lizz a hug too and I followed his gesture.
“We’ll see you after the honeymoon?” Ian suggested.
“Yes of course!” I said.
“Sounds fantastic! Have an incredible night!” Lizz said as they turned around to leave.
“May I have one last dance with my wife?” Toby asked me.
“Yes you may Mr. Turner.” I giggled as he took my waist.
“Thank you Mrs. Turner.” He kissed me and we twirled on the dance floor as happy as any two people could be.
