"Ashley fucking James" Declan sang, as Ashley walked into the overcrowded bar, laughing and smiling at her friends. "Queen is here" Jack laughed, as Amber shoved his shoulder playfully. "Chillys queen" Jack mumbled, as Amber smiled at him. "You really think they'll be good together don't you?" Amber smiled, as Jack pressed a kiss to her temple. "I think they'll be just as good as us, ya get me?" Jack smiled, as Amber nodded her head smiling at her fiancée.

"Ah, I love this song" Ben smiled, as his hand tapped the table to the beat of '7 Rings', Ben smiling at Mason, as Mason smirked to himself. "It's only ever about one ring though ain't it? Not seven" Ben smiled, as Ashley sat down at the table, nodding her head along to the comments being made.

"Reckon I should put a ring on Lauren's finger?" Declan smiled. "If you like it then you shoulda put a ring on it" Declan sang, as the table laughed at him. "Please don't quit football" Ashley laughed. "Because you are not going to get far with that set of vocals" Ashley continued, as Declan held a hand to his heart, with shock written all over his face. "Way to hurt my feels" Declan smiled. "But encase you've forgotten, we're all overrated anyway" Declan mumbled, as he took a sip of Mias cocktail, as she swatted his hand away, before taking a sip herself.
"I already share my boyfriend with you, not sharing my drinks as well" Mia mumbled, as Declan looked at Mason with a smile.

"So where's your other half? I'm the hotel? Are we too boring for him now?" Jack mumbled, as he then groaned, looking as Jordan walked into the complex bar, a smile on his face.

"I'd love to punch him" Mason mumbled, as he held the beer bottle he was drinking from a little too tightly, watching as the pressure made the beer foam up. "Baby chill, his not ruining the last few days we have" Mia whispered, as she pressed a kiss to his lips, and Ashley looked down at the table, she knew there was no way she could of come without him, but she didn't really realise the impact he would have on the others.

"Hey" Ben smiled, as he kicked Ashley's foot under the table slightly, making her look up and smile at him. "There's the smile I like" Ben smiled, as Ashley smiled wider, before Jordan sat down and placed an arm around her shoulders.

"Sorry we couldn't make the start lads, had to finalise the wedding" Jordan smiled, completely oblivious to the fact that almost everyone at the table didn't want him there. But before anyone could speak, Declan offered the olive branch.
"It's fine bro, I'm sure you'll catch us all up with your tanning time" Declan smiled, as Mason laughed. "Deccers, you know your bright red right?" Mason smirked, as Declan nodded his head. "Can't tan okay, not all of us go a golden brown" Declan mumbled, as he slumped in his chair a little further, sulking into his drink.

The night had been going swimmingly, for once the whole table was getting along, there was laughter and joking, as well as the singing along to dancing songs, and it was clear that alcohol was the main factor towards them all getting along.

"Right, I'm just going to go to the toilet" Ashley smiled, as she nodded at Mason, who nodded his head taking a deep breath. "Come straight back though, I don't think we need any more drinks" Jordan mumbled to Ashley, as she rolled her eyes, but nodded her head, Ben watching the interaction from across the table.

"Do you let her do anything?" Ben mumbled, as Jordan looked at him, a raised eyebrow and a questioning glance on his face. "Like, is it always what you want to do or do you let her have a life?" Ben muttered, as he took a sip from his beer, but never lost eye contact with Jordan.

"I personally think you need to find your own girlfriend before you come after my fiancée" Jordan smirked. "I've seen the look you give her" Jordan muttered. "And she's taken, she's getting married to me, I think you need to get that into your head, or has the footballs to the head finally knocked your last brain cell out of it?" Jordan muttered, as Ben shook his head, as the table looked between them both, people wanting to make a comment, some wishing the ground would open up and take them under.
"I suggest you back off bro" Jordan muttered, as he stood up from the table and walked to the bar, looking at Ashley who was talking to a waiter, smiling at him.

"What's going on here then beautiful?" Jordan whispered, as he placed his hands around her waist, holding her close to him, as she smiled briefly at the contact between them, but silently wished it was someone else.
"You know what's going on" Ashley mumbled, as she grabbed the microphone from the waiter and nodded at Mason from the other side of the room, as she stepped out onto the decking to go outside, the soft music playing around her by the decking, as the group of her friends slowly walked out onto the makeshift beach, close to the decking, full of rose petals and candles.

How long will I love you, as long as the stars are above you, and longer if I can, how long will I need you, as long as the seasons need to, follow their plan

Ashley sang as her friends noticed her by the decking, all of them smiling, as Mason lead Mia at the start of the group up to the small gazebo, underneath being cushions and fairy lights lighting up the way.

How long will I be with you, as long as the sea is bound to, wash upon the sand, how long will I want you, as long as you want me to and longer by far

Ashley couldn't help but notice Bens eyes on her as she sang to the couple at the start of the line, smiling as Mia slowly began to realise the truth of what was happening, as she spun around looking at Mason down on one knee.

"You've been pestering me for sometime for this MiMi" Mason smiled. "It never even crossed my mind, no doubt in my mind anyway, I knew that one day I'd want this just as much as you do" Mason smiled. "So, will you do my the honour of letting me be the only person who gets to see you first thing in a morning, of being the only person who gets to kiss your lips, to be the person you grow old with when i can no longer kick a ball and get to manage Chelsea?" Mason smirked. "Mia Louise Smith, will you marry me?" Mason questioned, as Mia held a hand over her mouth, her eyes lining with tears, as the rest of her friends looked on from afar, photos being taken, as well as a video, knowing that she would want this captured from every angle.

How long will I hold you, as long as your father told you, as long as you can, how long will I give to you, as long as I live through you, however long you say

"Of course I'll marry you, you absolute melt" Mia smiled, as Mason jumped to his feet, embracing her in a hug, his lips landing on hers, as both of them laughed to each other.
"I love you so much" Mia whispered, as Mason looked down at her, his hands around her waist. "I love you a whole lot more" Mason smiled, as he pressed his lips to hers.

But as happy as Ashley wanted to be that her best friends were now getting married, she couldn't help but wish, she felt the way that them two did right now.
