Epilogue

Joey's POV~

I always knew there was a way for us.

The wedding was beautiful. It was June by the time we actually got around to it - oh, it was so lovely and warm... the ceremony was held in a church, because Shane insisted in holding a little tradition still. By the summer, everything was so much calmer - there was no more stupid drama, Sawyer was still in prison, our fans were so supportive of everything...

I'd never been happier in my life than when I saw Shane walking down the aisle towards me. 

Everyone was there to support us - all our friends (Megan was my maid of honor, I just felt she deserved it after she helped me in planning the wedding and all...) were there, and my whole family came. So did Shane's. At one point, we'd considered live streaming it, but we didn't want to have to have any reservations on this special day. Knowing the world would be watching was a big deal! So instead we decided on just tweeting enough to keep the fans satisfied. Of course, by the end of the night there were probably more than a hundred pictures on our twitter pages but it was just what we needed. 

After the ceremony, we had a huge reception outside - right where Shane and I had had our picnic all those months before. I wanted to talk to everybody there... but another part of me just wanted to stay at Shane's side the whole night. 

Let's just say that side won. 

And as the night began to end and the sun slowly set, casting golden light into the valley below us, Shane and I sat back on the same tree from before, ties undone, suit jackets draped over our shoulders. 

"Remember," he spoke softly, "how you told me that time I brought you here that it was the best date you'd ever been on?" 

I nodded, leaning back into his touch. "Of course. How could I forget a day like that?" 

"Well..." he ran his fingers through my hair. "We've had a lot of unforgettable days, haven't we?" 

I nodded again. "Mmm-hmm." 

"I just hope," his hand found the side of my face and turned me so he could kiss me a little sloppily on the corner of my mouth. I smirked and turned my shoulders, kissing him properly. He pulled back and pressed our foreheads together, finally continuing, "that today is going to be the most unforgettable of all." 

He's such a sap.

But I love him.
