Chapter 25

Elena

My wedding dress is absolutely perfect, an open back that stop just above my backside and the bodice is covered in diamonds, lace and silk. The skirt is straight with silk covered in lace, the bump I'm sporting actually makes the dress look prettier. I can't believe that our day is finally here, Stefan and I will finally be Mr. and Mrs. Salvatore. I take a long look in the mirror sighing with releif thinking about how we got to where we are now, it seems like forever since Stefan went to prison, it seems like its been forever since I spiraled after losing our first child and even though I was taken just weeks ago I'm still the happiest that I can be. "Ready?" Caroline asks handing me my boquet of yellow,red and pink roses. There is one white rose in the center of the others making it stand out against the bright ones. "More than you know." I tell her through a smile, I want to cry, but then I'll have my entire team of makeup artist back in here. "I'm so happy for you Elena, and dammit you're the most beautiful bride and mom to be." Caroline wipes a tear away. "I love you so much you know and I may not have known you for as long as everyone else, but you're the sister I never had." I hug and a tear slips from my eye too. Fuck it! "Ok, no messing up the hair and makeup Mrs. S." She giggles, I laugh and look back into the mirror.

Caroline fixes the massive curls while adjusting with tiara and veil. Stefan agreed to let me wear the veil in the back saying that he wanted to see my face instead of it being hidden. "You look just like your mom." I smile at Bonnie in the mirror and nod. I really do look like Katherine Pierce right now, massive curls and sultry makeup were her thing. "I wish she could be here." A knock at the door makes my stomach and heart flip, this is it. "Where is my baby sister?" Damon comes in looking very handsome in his black suit and tie. We agreed that Stefan and all the groomsmen would be decked out in all black suits and black ties while the bridesmaids wear pink, yellow and red lace dresses. Caroline of course is in the pink dress while Bonnie looks gorgeous in yellow and Rebekah of course stuns in red, their dresses are strapless, all lace at the top and the skirt of the dress is silk stopping at their thighs. Damon has a yellow boutonniere to match Bonnie's dress, Matt pink for Caroline and Tyler red for Rebekah. Stefan's is white. "Are you ready to walk me down the aisle?" I ask him as we walks into the room. "I suppose I could deliver you to an anxious man." I bite my lip, I can't wait to see Stefan waiting for me at.

"Well let's go get you married then." My big brother whispers in my ear. I tear up and kiss his cheek. "Where's my flower girl?" I ask him, Damon smirks. "Open the door." He yells over his shoulder. The door opens and Alaric comes in holding Charlotte, she is now a crawling 9 month old beauty. We had her flower girl dress made to match mine only instead of a tiara and veil on her head she's wearing a white stretch baby head band with three roses pinned to it that match my bouquet. "Hey sweet girl, give aunt Lena some love." Charlotte squeals while Ric leans her over to me. She gives me kisses and we both smile. Looking at my sweet niece makes me even more excited to become a mom. "Who do I give this slobber bucket to?" Ric asks looking to Damon. "To me." Bonnie informs him with a not so happy look on her face, Ric has given Char baby slobber bucket for a nickname and its kind of stuck which Bon isn't too pleased about. "Alright I'll see you guys on the other side." He tells us, leaning in to hug me he whispers in my ear. "Congrats Elena, you and Stefan deserve this day more than anyone." I smile and hug him tighter, "Thanks Ric."

"Ready?" Damon asks holding out his arm for me to take. I close my eyes and take a deep breath, ok this is it for real. This is the last time I'll be Elena Pierce and I am more than ok with it. "Oh yeah."

Stefan

I'm close to running down the damn aisle and ripping Elena from Caroline and Bonnie. Every second that passes with me standing up here waiting on her makes me fidget and impatient, we've waited and suffered for so long and now that the time for us to take this next step in our lives I'm too excited to wait any longer. "Hey man she'll be here, just calm down." I hear Matt whisper to me. The crowd's eyes seem to be glued to me and its unnerving. "I just want to see her." He chuckles and claps me on the shoulders. "I get it man, I wanted to ditch ya'll when we were waiting on Care in the limo and go get her myself." I laugh at that, I guess when you're a man in love you get all possessive and cave man like when it comes to your woman. "She'll be here Stefan in no time." I look over to Tyler and shake my head. Even a guy like him who flies through women is seeing how I am going crazy up here, its weird to think that before I ever got with Elena how I was him. The difference is I can count on one hand how many girlfriends I've had and how many conquests I've had. Sadly the conquests outweigh the girlfriends, but I'm glad that Elena is the one who did me in on that. She's the only girl who ever made me feel like there is more, I always knew that Elena was the one who I would end up with even when I tried to stay away from her when I got out of prison.

It's insane, when I was locked up I had to push her from my mind and make myself believe that there was never going to be an us again. I smile to myself knowing that everything has worked out for the better now, this is our wedding day and in five months we'll become parents. It may not have happened like we'd hope for, but I honestly can't be any fucking happier than I am to know that I'll soon be a dad. I hope that Katherine and Mason are looking out for our first baby and that the three of them were the ones who got us to this point in our lives. "Here we go." Matt says, I look up and hear the music begin. My heart starts pounding in my chest as Caroline, Bonnie and Rebekah make their way down the aisle. Bonnie holds onto Charlotte making everyone ooh and ahh over her and as adorable as she is I can't wait to see my bride. The girls take their positions and then the music changes, I instantly begin smiling as I hear it, the large wooden double doors open and then I see her. Elena and Damon step out into the crowd where everyone is standing, our eyes lock and I'm a goner.

Elena

As I make my way down the aisle, I can't keep my eyes off of Stefan. He has tears in his eyes and now I do too. We're both in our own little world now and no one else exists at this moment except the two of us. Damon gives me away to Stefan, I hand my bouquet to Bonnie and place my shaking hands into his strong welcoming ones. He mouths 'I love you' and I do the same, we're smiling and I hear nothing until Stefan begins his vows, "Elena, I have no doubt in my mind that you've always been the perfect woman for me. The very first day we met I knew you were going to be the one to turn my life inside out in the best way possible. Along our crazy journey together we've experienced love and loss, but we always come back together. I love you so much that its hard to breathe or think straight at times. Every morning when I wake up to see you sleeping next to me I always thank God that he gave us another chance to be together and today I want to thank you for making me the happiest man alive, you'll never know how much it means to me that you'll be my wife. I love sweetheart." I have tears streaming down my face, I swear he is the most perfect man for me.

I clear my throat and hold his hands tightly, "Stefan Salvatore, you are the man of my dreams and I'm sure everyone here knows this. You came into my life as a stranger who turned into a friend that I was in love with and one day you became more than a friend to me. I was always afraid back then that i'd never have you because of the age difference, well that and my brother is Damon." Everyone laughs at that including me. "Stefan, you have always been my everything, I have never wanted or needed anyone else and even though we spent some time apart from each other than we wanted, I'll always cherish the day you came back into my life and we may have started out on a rocky path, but it got us to here. I'm the luckiest woman on earth to be standing here next to you, I couldn't ask for a better husband nor could I ask for a better man to father our children. Through all of the tears, hurt and loss we made it and there is no one else I'd rather go through hell with because I know you're the only one who can get me to the other side. I love you so much that I can't explain it or put it into words, the only thing I can say is that I love you and I am beyond happy to be your wife for no one else will do. Your mine and I'm yours till death do us part." A few tears fall from his gorgeous green eyes and he makes no move to wipe them away.

When we say 'I do', I leap into his arms. Stefan holds me to him and kisses me senseless. People are cheering, clapping and yelling and we just keep kissing. "I can finally call you my husband." I whisper against his lips, Stefan takes my hand into his smiling at me. "And I can finally call you my wife." We look out to our guests and walk down the aisle together hand in hand as Mr. and Mrs. Salvatore.
