Today is the day. I'm finally going to marry the girl of my dreams.

The past year was amazing. Daisy and I travelled the world becoming even closer in the process. I was even more sure that I wanted to marry her now than when we left.

Kim and Dean are still going strong. Kim had moved in with Dean around the same time as Daisy and I moved in together. Kim bought a tiny dog to keep herself company while Dean was away. Dean wanted a big dog, but in the end, he fell in love with her. They named her London after Kim's favourite city to visit.

Jack and Lincoln eloped when everyone came to visit for our Vegas show. It such a fun wedding and cheesy as hell. They're working on adopting a baby as we speak. Lincoln is unrecognizable from the man I knew before he came out. He still wasn't the biggest conversationalist but he was so much happier.

Adam is still single and not looking to settle down any time soon. He and Mark have become really close. Being the only two single people in the group, they were inevitably paired up for everything. I don't think they mind. They were always going to bars together. Mark insists it's research, but we all know they're just trying to hook up.

Mel and Andrew are still dating but are taking things slow. They're content with where they are and don't want to rush things. When Mel's lease runs out, they are planning to move into Andrew's place. After seeing the place, I totally get it. Those penthouse views are unbeatable.

Paul, formally known as The Reverend, was sentenced to twenty years in jail while Ben got fifteen. As for Lillian, she will likely get a year or two. Her trial keeps getting pushed back, but I don't care. As far as I'm concerned, she's out of my life for good and justice was served. I don't want to dwell on any of it anymore.

"Awe, my little Shortcake isn't a little girl anymore." I turned to see my dad standing at the door. I smiled as I ran my hands over my dress. It was pure white with an A-line skirt and strapless. It was totally not my usual style, but I hid a pair of black Vans underneath. I had decided to not have a veil, but my bouquet was made of daisies and wildflowers.

"I'll always be your Shortcake Dad."

"Of course." He came over to give me a hug. When he pulled away he gave me the brightest smile, "And today I gain a new daughter to my quickly expanding family. At least I knew this one I knew was coming."

I almost forgot about Reid! His life was a whole new level of crazy. He decided to take a break from life on the road after the incident with Paul. He said he wanted to be close to family. He got a job working for a children's charity and loved it there. He met a girl while I was on tour and they got fairly serious. She then ghosts him and totally vanishes until, bam, she's on his doorstep with a baby boy. She left him with Reid, and no one has heard from her since. She didn't even put her name on the birth certificate. So now Reid is a single dad with his little boy William Evan Wilson. He couldn't be happier.

"Are you nervous?" Dad asked.

"Not in the slightest."

"Good, that means you're making the right choice."

"Come on Daddio. Let's get me married!" I said as I linked my arm with his. We walked outside where everyone was waiting for us. We're having a small wedding with only close friends and family. We decided against a bridal party because it was impossible to narrow down who would be a part of it. Instead, everyone was gathered around the altar where Dean was going to marry us.

I was the first to the altar. Dad gave me a kiss on the cheek and stepped back to his seat. I stood and waited for Daisy to arrive. I kept my eyes on the doors, waiting with bated breath. When the doors finally opened, I thought my heart was going to stop.
