Carol and Maura entered the church and took their seats when I climbed out the car, leaving just me, my dad, Liv and Peter outside.

"He's in there right?" I asked nervously to no one in particular. It was a stupid question. I knew Niall wouldn't abondon me at our wedding but I still felt as if I had to ask.

Peter peeked into the church quickly for me and nodded, "Yep. I see him. Right at the top near the altar."

I nodded and clutched my bouquet tightly. It had been waiting for me in my dad's car and I hadn't realised how utterly beautiful it was until I actually held it for the first time.

"You ready?" Liv asked me and I snapped my head up from staring at the ground.

"Yeah," I said and nodded aswell just to confirm, "Yeah I am."

She nodded and took Peter's arm. He may have been gay but they were still walking together. Me and my dad stayed to the side as the large doors of the church opened and Liv and Peter stepped inside. A small bit of music started playing and I longed to look to see what was happening but I didn't.

"Listen," my dad said and I turned to him, "Just know that I don't care if your married, single, divorced, homeless, broke, anything at all. Your always going to be my baby girl, ok? And I will always love you as much as I did the day you were born."

I smiled at him, "I know Dad. And I'll always love you."

I kissed him on the cheek quickly and he took my arm. The music from inside the church stopped and I swallowed. It was my turn.

I clutched tightly to my dad's arm as we walked through the doors. Everyone in the church stood up as bridal chorus began to play throughout the church and I started walking down the aisle. I saw Niall at the top of the church and tried my best not to cry. He stood and stared at me with a ginormous smile on his face. Next to him was stood Greg, his best man.

As my dad and I got closer to him, I began to see tears in Niall's eyes. I couldn't hold it in any longer. Tears started falling from my eyes and I didn't stop them.

When I finally reached the end of the aisle, my dad kissed me on the cheek and took his seat on the front row next to Carol. I took a few more steps forward and handed my bouquet to Liv before turning and facing Niall for the first time. He wiped his cheeks quickly and took my hands in his.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please be seated," the vicar said. The guests all sat but my eyes stayed on Niall.

"Your blushing," I whispered with a smile.

"So are you," he whispered back and I tried not to giggle.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate the love and watch the wedding of Niall and Lily," the vicar said, "Marriage is the promise between 2 people who love each other, and who trust in that love, who honour each other as individuals, and who choose to spend the rest of their lives together. Now, the bride and groom have a few words to share."

The vicar turned to Niall who turned to Greg. Greg handed him a folded piece of paper. I watched as Niall unfolded the paper, looked at it, and then folded it back up again. I smiled at him because I knew he wasn't always to keen on making up speeches on the spot.

"Lily, there isn't a single word in any language that is able to sum up how much I love you. Your smile, your laugh, your uncanny desire to keep everyone happy," the audience laughed lightly and I smiled, "I love it all. Even when your being a stubborn cow, I love you. And I know nothing can change that, ever."

I smiled at him, with tears in my eyes, and he just chuckled. I waved Liv's hand away when she offered me my bit of paper. If Niall wasn't using his, I wouldn't use mine either.

"Niall, we could have infinity together and I would never get bored of you. The tiny, stupid things that you do which make me love you so much, I could sit and watch them for days on end," I squeezed his hands and saw he had tears in his eyes like me, "No length of time with you will ever be enough, but we'll start with the rest of our lives."

I sniffed smiled again. I couldn't stop smiling and neither could he.

"Lily," the vicar said and I looked at him, "Will you please repeat after me."

I nodded and looked back at Niall. We took each others hands again as we said our vows.

"I, Lily," the vicar said.

"I, Lily," I repeated.

"Take you, Niall."

"Take you, Niall."

"To be my lawfully wedded husband."

"To be my lawfully wedded husband," my voice was shaky but I didn't know why.

"In sickness and in health," the vicar continued.

"In sickness and in health," I said.

"For better for worse, for richer for poorer."

"For better for worse, for richer for poorer."

"Til death do us part."

"Til death do us part," I finished and breathed out. It was all down to Niall now.

Niall said his part with his eyes fixed on me. When he said the final sentence we both smiled.

"Do we have the rings?" the vicar asked. Liam Payne stood up from the front row and handed Niall's ring to me and my ring to Niall.

"Thank you," I whispered and he nodded.

I looked back at Niall and he slid the ring onto my finger above my engagment ring. I knew the wedding ring was meant to go on the bottom but I would just change it later.

When my ring was on, I slipped Niall's onto his finger. Both our rings fitted us perfectly.

"I now pronounce you, man and wife. You may kiss the bride!" the vicar said.

I smiled as Niall grabbed hold of my waist and slammed his lips against mine. Everyone in the church cheered as we kissed each other but I wasn't taking any notice of them. I was just kissing Niall, my husband, and processing that we were actually husband and wife now.

I hooked my arms round Niall's neck as the kiss continued. When we at last pulled away from each other I stared up at him.

"So handsome," I whispered and patted his cheek. He laughed and picked me up. I squeeled as he threw me over his shoulder and stared walking back down the aisle. The audience continued to clap until we were outside and the doors were shut and I could no longer hear them.

Niall put me down and we both laughed but I stopped when I saw what was parked outside the church.

An old, white car with white ribbons across it stood near us. There was a bunch of white flowers at the front of it and on the back it had a sign saying just married.

I stared at it and then back at Niall. We hadn't planned to have a wedding car. We were just going to go in a normal car to the reception so we didn't draw to much attention to us.

"Ta dah!" he said with a smile.

I chuckled, "Did you do this?"

"No it's just showed up here on its own," he joked, "Of course I did this."

I smiled again and jumped onto him, "I love you so so so so so so so much."

He laughed, "I thought you'd like it."

"Like it?" I climbed off his and walked over to the car, "I love it!"

"Good, but get in quickly because everyone will be out soon to wave us off," he said. I ran around to the passenger side and climbed in while Niall got in the drivers side. He turned the keys just as the doors of the church opened and the guest started coming out.

I heard Liv scream at the top of her voice, "THEY HAVE A FUCKING WEDDING CAR!"

I laughed as Niall pulled drove away from the church. I didn't know where he was going, probably just a quick drive before the reception, but honestly I didn't care. I would've gone anywhere and everywhere with him if I could. Because I loved him with my entire life and so much more. And he loved me. And we were married.

And I know I said him proposing to me was the best day of my life but I was lying. Us getting married and finally being husband and wife was 1000 times better.
