Chapter 20: Wedding

John POV

I had spent the night at Angelica's since my wedding was tomorrow and she agreed to help me get ready.

"Angie!!" I said as I shook her arm back and forth in attempt to wake her.
"Angie my wedding is today and if you don't get up and help me get ready right now-!"
"Ok ok" she cut me off as she sat up and yawned.
"Hurry up! I'm getting married in a few hours!!" I yelled as I tugged on her arm.
"I known Johnny" she said.
"I'm really nervous!" I added stressing.
"I'll make breakfast, start getting ready."
"Ok"

I went to take a shower as she got breakfast ready. I changed into a t-shirt and sweat pants then ate breakfast.

Once I ate breakfast I changed into my suit. Angelica helped me with my tie.

"I'm getting married to Alexander Hamilton" I said in disbelief.
"Shouldbeme" she muttered.
"What?" I asked not hearing what she said
"I said- uh- should be great!" Angelica said smiling innocently.

"You're ready" She said sighing happily.

We made our way to the place where the wedding was being held. It was a small church, nothing to fancy. It was very elegant though.

"No peaking!" Eliza ordered as I stood behind the door to walk out.
"Ok, ok" I said
"Shouldbeme" she muttered
"What was that?" I asked unaware of what she had said.
"I said- should be great!" Eliza said cheerfully. Music started to play. Angelica looked at me expectantly.

"I always imaged my wedding with Alex" I said sadly
"Why so sad?" Angelica asked
"I always imagined Peggy helping me get ready and Peggy walking me out and Peggy standing beside me up there and Peggy giving me a pep talk when I was nervous" I said
"It's your que!!" Eliza said as Angelica wrapped her arm around mine.

The door opened. Everyone looked at me.

I slowly walked over to Alex, Angelica going with me. When we got up there I stood in front of Alex and Angelica took a seat in the front row on my side. I saw Lafayette next to Angelica. Eliza and Hercules were on Alex's side. I imagined Peggy standing there and cheering.

"You look breath taking" Alex mumbled as he held my hands.
"As do you" I replied formally.

"We are gathered here today to join this man and this- man in holy matrimony" the priest said. Alex glared at him as he hesitated to say man and man.

"Let us begin" the priest started.

We said our wedding vows.

"Ever since I met you I liked you. The way your smile made me want to smile. The way your hair was always tied back in a neat ponytail. The way your freckles covered your face like a constellation in the night sky" Alex started "I've always dreamed of this day. We've been through so much together and I'm so happy to be able to spend the rest of my life with you" he finished happily. I felt tears well up in my eyes.

"I was never the most open person in the beginning. You've changed me so much. You've made me smile when I was sad. You've made me laugh when I wanted to cry and you've comforted me when I did cry. As you know it's not always been easy for me to express my feelings. I hope today will change that. I hope today will be a day worth remembering. I hope today I get to say what I've been dreaming of saying since we first met" I said as a few tears rolled down my cheeks.

(I'm young and have never been to a wedding so I don't know how things work. I apologize if I do something wrong)

"Do you, Alexander Hamilton, take this man to be your loftily wedded husband through sickness and health, till death do you part?" The priest asked Alex.

He looked at me reassuringly before answering with, "I do"

"And do you John Laurens, take this man to be your loftily wedded husband, through sickness and health, till death do you part?" He now questioned me.

Every time I daydreamed about this Peggy was there to give me a reassuring glance. I looked into Alex's eyes a moment before answering.

"I do"

"You may kiss the— groom" the priest said.

Alex put a hand on my cheeks and rested his forehead against mine.
"I love you" He mumbled before kissing me softly.
"I love you too" I mumbled kissing him back. Everyone began to cheer. I heard Eliza Lafayette and Herc crying. Lafayette and Eliza were crying and saying it was the most beautiful wedding ever and Herc was crying and yelling 'I SHOULDVE BEEN THE FLOWER GIRL'

"Let's eat cake" Alex laughed as we pulled away from each other.
"Hell Yeah" I laughed. We went over to the table and cut the cake together. Everyone cheered as we served the cake.

"CAKE" Herc said as he took it gratefully. Me and Alex laughed. Once everyone had cake me and Alex are ours. Alex looked at my suit.

"What's that?" He asked pointing to my tie. I looked down and he flicked my nose smearing icing on it.

"Hey!" I laughed
"Awww" Lafayette cooed. Me and Alex laughed.

I wiped the icing off my nose and ate my cake. Alex took a bite of his cake and looked at me confused.

"Is that a turtle?" He asked looking behind me. I turned around.
"What do you mean there wasn't-" I was cut off by Alex smeared more icing on my face.
"Hey!" I repeated.
"It's icing not face paint" I reminded him
"But you look so cute" he argued. I smeared icing on his chin.
"Hey!" He laughed
"But you look so cute" I mocked him as we laughed. He kissed me causing icing to get on my chin too. I pulled away and wiped more icing on his chin. He kissed me again getting most of the icing on my face.

"Ok you win" I laughed as I wiped icing off my face. I wiped the icing off his face so he wouldn't put anymore on mine.

"Smile!" Eliza said as she turned a camera on us. Me and Alex turned towards the camera. He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him as Eliza took a picture.

"One more! Do something cute!" Eliza ordered. Alex turned to me and kissed my nose.

"Awww perfect!" She said snapping a picture. Angelica and up to us, "do more cute stuff, I'm not leaving without photos!" I wrapped my arms around Alex's neck and nuzzled his cheek. She took a picture then whispered something in Alex's ear. He nodded to her as she aimed her camera at us again Alex picked me up bridal style. I laughed and hugged him. Angelica took a picture. Lafayette came up to us next. Alex put me down and put more icing on my nose as Lafayette took a picture.

I wiped it off and acted mad at him.

"Smile!! I need pictures!!" Lafayette ordered. I faced the camera and Alex stood behind me. He wrapped his arms around my wait and rested his chin on my shoulder. I looked back at him and Lafayette took a picture.

"parfait!" He said in french. Herc came by next.
"My turn to take pictures!!" He said loudly as he took a picture of Alex and I just eating cake. Alex smiled at the camera and wrapped his arm around me again. I smiled too as he took another picture.

"Ok! All singles behind me!" I shouted as I turned around. Most people gathered behind me. I threw the bouquet of flowers.

Lafayette and Eliza bumped into each other as they both caught it at the same time.

"I ship it" I immediately whispered to Alex. He laughed and kissed my cheek. Herc took this as an opportunity to take another picture of me and Alex.

"You guys are my OTP" Herc said. We laughed.

I looked at my ring happily.
"You're mine" Alex said hugging me tightly.
"I don't know...Lafayette's cute" I teased him. He pouted.
"I'm kidding. I'm all yours" I said hugging him back. He kissed me softly and I kissed him back. Angelica took a picture.

"Are you guys aware of how adorable you are right now?!" Eliza asked as she held the bouquet I threw awkwardly.
"Thanks" Alex laughed.

"I miss Peggy" I said sadly
"I do too" Alex said in a comforting tone.
"I love you so much" Alex added
"I love you too"
