five: the wedding

Harry and Quinn were the first to go down the small aisle. Harry holding Quinn in his arms and helping the little girl grab flower petals out of the basket. Quinn was more interested in trying to eat the petals than she was dropping them down on the ground. Harry made up for it though, tossing the petals for her. Quinn seemed to catch on near the end of it though, grabbing two handfuls of petals but she throws them at Harry instead of on the ground. 

Nathan and Ethan were the next to go, walking down the aisle together hand in hand. Nathan was waving at everyone as they walked down while Ethan held the pillow with the wedding rings on it. Nathan let go of Ethan's hand for a second when they reached Zayn, running over to his father and hugging his legs. Zayn smiles down at him and the audience let out a chorus of awes. Ethan rolls his eyes, standing off to the side of Zayn as his older brother finally joins him back at his side. 

Louis takes a deep breath when it's his turn to go, Johannah giving his arm a tight squeeze before they both walked into the room. Louis was silently panicking inside, but only because he didn't like people staring at him. Louis looks up to where Zayn's standing though, his nerves disappearing and a soft smile finding its way onto his face. Zayn takes Louis' hand once he reaches him, helping him up the steps so he's standing in front of Zayn. Johannah takes her seat in the front row, smiling proudly at her son and waving at Nathan who waved at her the second he saw her sitting there. 

"I love you." Zayn mouths, making Louis' smile grow larger. Louis kept his attention on Zayn as the priest read off the usual words, giving Zayn's hand the occasional squeeze which in turn made Zayn smile. Zayn wasn't really paying attention to what the priest was saying, more focused on how beautiful Louis looked even though Louis always looked beautiful to Zayn if he was being honest. 

"Now the couple have chosen to write their own vows, so I'll let them have the floor for a few minutes." The priest says, looking over at Zayn who lets go of Louis' hand to grab the piece of paper from his back pocket. Zayn clears his throat as he unfolds the paper, looking up from it for a moment and at Louis. Zayn almost forgot what it was he was doing for a moment, a small blush finding its way onto his face after a moment before he looked back down at his paper. 

"I know I said that I was going to memorize this... but I didn't, so here it goes. Louis, words can't even begin to describe what you mean to me. You are the love of my life, the mother of my children, the one I want to spend forever with. It's taken us a long time to get to this point, but every moment was it worth it because it all led up to this. You are my past, my present and my future, I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you. I love you, Louis." Zayn says and Louis gives him a tearful smile. After Zayn finishes, it was Louis' turn. Louis takes a deep breath, closing his eyes for a moment before looking back at Zayn. 

"To start, I would like to tell you that you're the love of my life as well. It took me three years to realize that and not a day goes by when I don't think about all that time I wasted trying to convince myself you weren't. You've brought so much love and happiness into my life, Zayn. Even on my worst days, all you have to do is smile at me and everything feels right again. I love you, Zayn. You help make me a better person and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you as well." Louis says, letting go of Zayn's hand to wipe the stray tear that had fallen out of his eye. 

"Do you, Zayn, take Louis to be your lawfully wedded husband, till death do you part?" The priest asks, looking at Zayn who nods.

"I do." Zayn whispers, grabbing the ring off the pillow that Ethan was holding. He slides it onto Louis' finger, a bright grin on his face as Louis bites down on his bottom lip. 

"Do you, Louis, take Zayn to be your lawfully wedded husband?" 

"I do." Louis says, his voice cracking a little as he slides Zayn's ring onto his finger.

"I now pronounce you married, you may now kiss the groom." The priest says, not that Zayn needed an excuse to kiss Louis. Zayn's hands cup both sides of Louis' face as he leans in, placing his lips softly on top of Louis'. Louis doesn't even hesitate in throwing his arms around Zayn's neck, completely ignoring the cheers and round of applause that erupted through the room. 

It was almost like no one else was there, like it was just the two of them.

Zayn pulls away after a another few seconds, resting his forehead against Louis' as the younger of the two bites down on his bottom lip.

"I love you, Louis Tomlinson." Zayn whispers, earning a quiet giggle from Louis. 

"It's Louis Malik now."
