20: June Wedding

(play the song)

Okay, this is it. I was rushed into the venue by Caroline so that I could get dressed and ready. Elena helped me do my hair and makeup.

I ended up going for the column-style dress that Bonnie recommended. Adira and Airis were in the guest room that the venue had so that they could get ready aswell.

"Wanda, have you seen my shoes?" I yelled out. "No, but I promise I'll find them!"

I sighed and Caroline walked in, "Okay, the cake will be here in a few hours. The food will be here in around two hours. Annnddd they sent the fruit platters to the wrong location"

I pointed towards the bottle of bourbon that was to my right. "No! I cannot drink until everything has worked out"

She walked out and the twins came in."What's up with her?" Adira asked."Wedding stuff gone wrong. You guys look so beautiful"

"Thanks. Oh and don't freak out but, dad is a mess""What do you mean?""He wrinkled his suit and the steamer they had in his room is broken" Airis explained.

"Are you serious!?" Elena yelled. "It took me two hours to steam that! Andrea, I really don't know why you're marrying this guy" She huffed.

We laughed and sent Damon to go help him out. I was roaming the venue because Caroline said I need to sign some things for the decorations.

"Babe!" I heard Kai say, "Are these your shoes- Woah""No no no!" Caroline yelled, blocking his view. " You guys are not supposed to see eachother!"

"Oh calm down, I'm not even in my dress yet. But yes, Kai. Those are my shoes, thanks" I said, stepping infront of Caroline and grabbed the shoes from his hands.

I walked back into my room where Bonnie helped me put on my dress. "This is it, you know?""Stop- you're going to make me cry" I said.

Bonnie laughed. "It's just when I was growing up with you, I honestly never thought that I would be at your wedding day""I never thought I would make it past eighteen, Bon. I just really wish Jer was here" She comforted me as we sat in silence.

Then there was a knock on the door. "Come in!" I said; Brandon walked in. "I'll let you guys talk" Bonnie walked out and gave me a last smile.

"What are you doing here?""Well Caroline had a few extra invitations so, she sent me one and plus, I wouldn't miss out on my brother's wedding"

"Does he know you're here?""Yeah, I checked in with him before I came in here""So what, you show up to my wedding and don't give me a hug?"

He laughed and came towards me and we hugged tightly. "You know what I realized?"I hummed in response,"You're going to be my sister-in-law""That sounds really weird" I laughed.

We pulled back, "The ceremony is about to start, I'll see you out there", I nodded and added some final touches to my look before Wanda came in.

"You ready?"I let out a deep breath, "Yeah"She opened up her arm and walked out with me.

***

The orchestra that Caroline hired started playing a simple melody as the twins started walking down and spreading flower petals on the floor and I was shortly behind as Wanda walked me down the isle. All the guests stood up and I look straight ahead to where Kai was standing.

His smile lit up his entire face. When we got to the end, Wanda kissed my cheek and handed me to Kai. She then stood beside Bonnie, Elena, and Caroline. Everyone then sat down.

Kai had Damon and Brandon by his side."We are here, to celebrate the union of Andrea Gilbert-Maximoff and Malachai Parker" Freya started.

"As we move this ceremony forward, is there anything you guys would like to share?"

Kai nodded, signaling that he would go first."Andrea, you changed my life completely. When I first met you, I thought you were just an ordinary girl; But as I got to know you, I realized you were more than that. You were more like me than anyone I had ever met. There was this one day where I looked in your eyes, and I realized I fell in love with you, and you smiled because you knew" The room filled with 'awes' as he continued.

"Well I didn't fall, you fucking tripped me" I laughed and wiped some tears off my cheek. "The point is, you changed me for the better and I love you for that. I can't imagine who I would be if you weren't by my side. I love you, and always will"

People clapped as he ended his vows, "Andrea..." Freya said, signaling me to say mine.

"Oh god, how do I beat that" I laughed, "Malachai Parker, you are-" I stop and gasp in pain.

lmao im so sorry i just wanted to mess with yall, rewind!

"Malachai Parker, you are one of the most important people to me. I don't know where I would be if it weren't for us meeting. Having you by my side has been the best experience I've ever had" I said.

"You bring me such joy not only by your sarcasm, or how you act, but just by being you. You have taught me so much and I appreciate everything you've done for me. You've made me a better person and I can't thank you enough for that. I promise to always be by your side, and to love you until my last breath"

Everyone clapped and we continued the ceremony. Once we got the end, I was already growing impatient to just kiss him. "As we reach the end of this ceremony, is there anyone who would like to object" Freya said. Kai and I looked at the guest who were seated. They stayed silent.

"Speak now, or forever hold your peace". No one stood up or said anything, we just continued the ceremony. "Rings?", she asked. Bonnie stepped aside and grabbed the small cushion that had our rings on it, she gave it to Freya, who then gave my ring to Kai, and his to me.

"I, Andrea, take you Malachai, to be my husband, to have and hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part", I slipped the wedding band onto his left-hand ring finger.

"I, Malachai, take you Andrea, to be my wife, to have and hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part", he did the same for me.

"It is my honor to pronounce you husband, and wife" Freya said, Kai held my hands.

"You may now, kiss the bri-" She didn't get to finish as Kai pulled me into a kiss. We heard everyone cheer and clap. "Mr. and Mrs. Parker, everyone!" She yelled out.

We pulled back and I smiled widely. Kai and I started walking out to where the reception will be. I stared in awe as I looked at all the decorations.

"You like it?" Caroline asked, coming up frombehind me."Yeah. I knew it was a good idea having you as my wedding planner"

We laughed and she walked off. Elena and Damon walked up to the table where Kai amd I were now seated. The twins went up to Hope and talked with her.

All of us ate and then it was time for the dances. "Alright, ladies and gentlemen, it is time for the father-daughter dance!" I looked at Caroline confused.

"Ugh, does this D.J know anything!?" She yelled."Well you hired him" I whispered."I didn't! Dorian recommended him!"

"Caroline, its fine. I want to dance with her" Damon said.I smiled and walked on the dance floor with him as the D.J put on a random slow song.

"Congrats, wicked-witch-of-the-west"I laughed, "Don't call me that!""What do you want me to call you!? After all I'm married to your sister; That makes you my sister-in-law"

"Don't call me that either" I joked."Well, you are Elena's little sister. That makes you my litte sister aswell, whether you like it or not""You're only saying that because its my wedding day"

"No, it's true. And I'm sure Stefan would too" He said, we kept rocking back and forth until the song ended.

(okay, i need yall to work with me. if you could search up "its been a long, long time" by kitty allen on any music app, that will be the song that should play next for this part! i would include it but i can only add one song:( thanks!)

"Now for the newlyweds to have their dance!" Caroline announced.

Kai and I stepped onto the dance floor. His hands rested on my lower back and I wrapped my arms around his neck. We swayed back and forth, enjoying the music and eachother's company.

"I love you" He whispered"I love you too", I closed my eyes and enjoyed the moment.

He held up my chin and kissed me gently. We heard people start clapping and cheering. "Are you happy, Mrs. Parker?" He asked, a smirk rose on his face.

"Damn right" I laughed. Kai pulled my arm out and twirled me around. He lead me into damcing a bit more. "I didn't know you could dance""Only for you, babe" He replied.

Kai then pulled me back in tightly, and we continued swaying back and forth. Once we ended the dance, everyone came back onto the dance floor.

"Mom!" Adira yelled, I turned around and faced towards her."There's mac 'n' cheese cupcakes!" Airis explained.

I laughed and grabbed Kai's hand and we ran towards where the food was. The four of us grabbed one and ate it while standing, watching everyone enjoy the night.

When the twins finished, they went with Hope on the dance floor."Look at our kids" I said, admiring how happy they looked.

"See, I would've said 'Ready to make another one?' But we can't." He said

"Well, we could certainly do the process of having kids" I smirked. Kai raised his eyebrow and dragged me to one of the guest room's inside the venue.

I could definitely say that I really, really enjoyed it.
