Elena

"Ok, so we have the dress and the bouquet is in the freezer, the guys have their suits and the JP is ready to go." I tell Caroline while my makeup artist April does her makeup and I do her hair. Caroline smiles brightly in the mirror, "I can't believe that I'll be Mrs. Donovan in just an hour!" Bonnie and I giggle at the bride. "Elena thank you so much for being my maid of honor, you have helped me so much." I shrug as I curl the last blonde strand of hair. "That's what I am here for Care, I want my best friend to have an amazing wedding. Even if it is in Time Square on New Years Eve." Bonnie laughs into her champagne flute, "There are going to be so many people in that crowd Caroline, what if we all get separated or you can't hear what the judge says?" April does the finishing touches on Caroline's lips topping them with a ruby red color. "Bonnie everything is going to work out, people will be able to tell what's going on because of my dress for one, we're all going to be in wedding wear."

"That's true Bon, while most people will be wearing normal warm clothing, we'll be standing there in silk bridesmaids dresses and the guys will be in suits, so I'm sure they'll be moving out of our way. Also Caroline and Matt don't have a spot picked out and we're all walking together from the limo." Bonnie sighs, "Ok, ok, I'm just not fond of being out in this weather in my dress." Caroline waves her off as she stands, "Look its not going to take long, its not going to be traditional at all. We'll get there step into the crowd and he'll recite the words. As soon as the ball drops we say I do and bam we're husband and wife." I walk to my closet and pull the wedding dress from its bag. "This dress is very beautiful Caroline." She begins to tear up and fans her eyes, "I think so, Matt says he loves the mermaid look on me." Her dress is white, beaded and in the shape of a mermaid body. The breast area is heart shaped, it screams Caroline.

"Well let's hope that Matt doesn't faint when he sees you in it." Bonnie tells her before helping me get her into it. "You do like your dresses right?" She asks us in a panic filled voice, her eyes are huge. "YES!" We yell at her before all three of us double over in laughter. I look down at my silk black strapless dress. It hugs my body like a second skin, the length goes to my feet and has a split up to the top of my knee on the right side. There's a V in between my breast and I know that I'll be really cold, however at least I know that Stefan will be doing everything in his power to get me hot. "Ok, well we're dressed and ready to go now what?" Bonnie asks us making Caroline shrug. I smirk, "I have just the thing, follow me." We shuffle out into my living room where I had a team of people transform it into a photo shoot. "Caroline this is my wedding gift to you." She shrieks and pulls me into a big hug. "Thank you Elena!" I hug her back smiling, "Well I know how much you miss being in front of the camera, so here you go!"

We watch as Caroline works her bridal poses, ones with the bouquet of red roses and some with her looking down at her beautiful engagement ring. Then we all get into the shots, then just me and Bonnie and then just each of us with Caroline. "Oh Elena, I want you to have one taken by yourself so I can give it to Stefan." I blush as I think back to a comment Stefan made when I pitched doing this for Caroline, he suggested that after that was done I have them come back here so he could borrow their equipment for his entertainment and pleasure.

"Ok ladies that's a wrap." I say after the shots are done, we make our way into the elevator. "I've got butterflies in my stomach." Caroline whispers, I take her hand and squeeze. "That means that you're completely in love with your soon to be husband, you two are taking a new step in life and you're excited about it. Matt is lucky to have you and vise versa. The guys are waiting close to Time Square in a limo, so let's go get you married."

Stefan

We're all sitting in the limo waiting for the girl's to show up, Matt has checked the time on his phone a dozen times in the last 20 minutes. We've all been giving him hell, but he knows we're just fucking with him. In truth I can't wait to be in his shoes, nervous and excited as I wait to see my bride. The thought of Elena becoming my wife makes my chest tighten up, I hope like hell she'll say yes to my proposal. I'm certain that she will, but these things have also been known to backfire. "Stefan you ok over there?" Matt asks me with a chuckle. "Yeah man, just ready to freeze my ass off." Snorting he takes a shot of Vodka and nods. "Elena is going to say yes." Damon elbows me, "And if she doesn't I'll help you drug her and you can elope with her unconscious body to Vegas." Rolling my eyes I pull out the blue Tiffany's box and open it.

Tyler whistles as he looks at the diamond, "Damn Salvatore, how much did that cost your ass?" I chuckle, "Trust me man there are some things you don't want to know." They all make a cringing face, Kelly holds Matt's hand. "I wish your sister was here to see this moment." Matt bites his bottom lip and blinks away tears. I'll never forget the night Vicky Donovan killed herself, Matt was irate and inconsolable. I had never seen anything as heart braking as that, at that time in my life. "Yeah, she would've loved Caroline huh?" Kelly snorts and downs her champagne, "Yeah, but it would've taken her some time to get used to a bubbly blonde." We all crack up at that.

"So Stefan, Matt told me that he and Caroline talked you into proposing after their 'I do's' tonight, when had you originally planned to do it?" I clear my throat and sit on the edge of the bench seat. "On Christmas Eve actually, but Matt and Caroline had talked me into making New Year's Eve one huge event." Damon sighs and pats my shoulder, "She's going to say yes Stefan, if you had asked her at 13 she would've said yes. My sister loves you with everything she has in her and I know you feel the same for her. Trust me brother, you're going to get your yes." We hear a beeping noise, the black limo pulls in front of us and we all begin to step out of the car. Adjusting our suits the driver open's their door and one by one we see them step out into the cold night air. First Bonnie, then Elena and finally Caroline. My heart stops when I see Elena, her dress is clinging to her body showing off her curves, she has her hair curled and is twisted on top of her head. She's absolutely gorgeous, almost indescribable. I smile and walk to her, the other limo pulls up letting us know that the JP is here.

"Hey baby, you're looking very, very beautiful. No is it sexy or gorgeous?" Elena laughs and I Pull her to me. She wraps her arms around my neck, I can see her breath as she shivers against me. "Hi handsome, you're very dashing." I raise an eyebrow, "Dashing enough to take home and make sweet, sweet love to me all night?" Placing her red lips to mine Elena hum deep in her throat, the sound going straight to my dick. "Oh yeah, but first we have to get these crazy kids hitched." I smirk and kiss her hard slipping my tongue into her delicious mouth, "Then let's not keep them waiting." Matt can't take his eyes off of Caroline as we all make our way into the big ass crowd, people are oohing and awing as we pick a spot. Elena and I take our places by the bride and groom, Bonnie behind Elena, Damon behind Matt, Tyler behind him and Kelly behind Bonnie. The photographers Elena hired are flashing their cameras as they say their vowels. Everyone is joining in on the countdown while we're listening to our friends. My eyes are glued to my girl, I start getting the box ready to pop open. All at once I hear, 'Happy New Year and I do'. They kiss we cheer, Caroline turns to me and winks, I pull the box from my suit jacket and pop it open, I drop to one knee and take Elena's hand. "Elena Pierce, I've loved you for a long time and I know that things didn't turn out how we wanted them to over the last few years, there's been a lot of heartbreak and time loss, but here we are getting the chance to be together again. Sweetheart I've never stopped loving you and I will be in love with you for the rest of my life, so will you please make me one happy bastard and become Mrs. Salvatore?"

Elena is shaking tears are streaming down her face, she nods her head rapidly. "Yes, yes Stefan Salvatore!" She screams, people are looking I'm sure, but my eyes are on her. I slide the engagement ring onto her finger, the stones are a three set. I lucked up when I found this ring, a brilliant three stone, a diamond sits in between two sapphires that match Elena's necklace. The band is platinum or silver, I can't really remember. The carat weight is 1.5 and I knew when I saw this that it was the one. I stand and take my fiancé into my arms and kiss her like there's no tomorrow. "I love you Stefan." She whispers against my lips, her voice trembles. "I love you to baby." I take my suit jacket off and wrap it around her shivering form. She looks down at her ring through glossy eyes, "It matches my necklace." Looking up to me I nod my head with a huge smile on my face, I take her necklace in one and run my finger over the ring on the other. "Only the best for my bride to be." I wrap my arms around her and kiss her sweet lips, "Can I take you home now?" She nods against me, "You can take me anywhere you want fiancé."
