"Im a nervous wreck." Ophelia said to her sister as she paced around the bridal suite.

"Take a deep breath, look at me and tell me why." Nicole placed her hands on Ophelia's shoulders.

"What if it all goes wrong? What if I trip over my dress while walking down the isle? What if someone objects? What if Tanner changes his mind? Oh my god! What if Tanner changes his mind?!"

"Lia. I have never seen someone as in love as Tanner. There is no reason for him to change his mind. Take a deep breath. You're getting married to Tanner today. He is not going to change his mind because that man loves you more than anything." Nicole said and Ophelia nodded. "I'll be right behind you the whole time."

Meanwhile Tanner was stressing in the groom suite. "Damn it! My hair is a mess. I can't get it to go where it needs to be." He said as he messed with the curls on his head again. Nick walked over and attempted to fix his hair but only made it worse. "Lia can fix it. I'll just go ask her."

"Nope. It's bad luck and you're supposed to wait until you see her walk down the isle." Nick pushed him back into the room.

"But my hair." It was just an excuse to see his soon to be wife. 

"I'll get Larry. You stay here." Nick said before walking out of the room. At the same time Nicole left Ophelia's room. "Cold feet?"

"She's pacing the room so much there's going to be a dip in the floor." Nicole chuckled as Nick hugged her and kissed her head. "How's Tanner?"

"He's freaking out about his hair. Says that only Lia can fix it." He pulled away and straightened out his suit. "I'm going to get Larry so he can fix it."

"I was going to get Isaac to calm Lia down." Nicole giggled as they went to go find the other boys.

Meanwhile Tanner peaked out his door and once the two figures disappeared he snuck over to Ophelia's room. He knocked on the door before he tied his tie around his eyes. As a blindfold. Ophelia opened the door and slightly laughed. "I know it's bad luck to see the bride before the ceremony, hence the tie, but my hair is a mess and I can't fix it."

"Alright, come on in. Just keep the tie on." She held his hand and dragged him in. She sat him down and ran her fingers through his hair until it looked better. "There you go." She sighed.

"You alright?" He asked 'looking' up at her.

"Just nervous is all." She smiled looking down, not that he could see her.

"There's no need to be nervous, okay? When you get down there just focus on me. Ignore everyone else, act like they aren't there." He rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb before kissing it.

"God, you're such a hopeless romantic." She gushed as her face flushed red.

"You love it."

"I do. I really do. Now, run back to your room before Nick kills you." She giggled. Tanner nodded and once he was out of her suite, and the door shut he took off the blindfold and ran back to his room.

Once Nicole and Nick found the boys they separated and dragged them back to the suites. Tanner was now stood in front of the mirror retying his tie.

"Alright, let me fix it." Larry said and Tanner tuned to him.

"My hair is fine now. I fixed it, but the tie is a mess."

"What's actually wrong?" Larry asked as he tied the tie correctly.

"Nothing now." He said.

"That's not true. Your leg is bouncing, and you're standing up. What's wrong?" Larry repeated.

"I'm terrified it's gonna go to shit. Like, what if she realizes how much better she can do and leaves at the altar." He explained as Larry finished fixing his tie.

"Why would she do that? She's not going to leave you. You two have been through too much for her to change her mind right there and then."

Back in the bridal suite Ophelia was stood in front of a mirror making sure everything was in place. "I can't think straight. I'm so glad we wrote down our vows. I would've forgotten them the second we got up there. Oh god what if I forget how to speak."

"You aren't going to forget how to speak. You're all set to get married and all you have to do is stand up there and repeat what the officiant tells you to. Tanner will be right there with you. It's all going to be okay." Isaac calmed her down. "Listen, once you walk down the aisle and see him everything will wash away."

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Tanner stood at the altar fixing his tie every few seconds as he waited to see Ophelia walk down the aisle. "Stop messing with it you look great." Nick scolded him as the music for Ophelia started playing. His hands instantly moved from his tie and he focused on where she would enter. Once he saw her everything washed away, any nervousness, any anxiety, any second-thoughts, anything to make him think something could go wrong was gone the second he saw her. As she got closer more tears weld up in his eyes. Once she was in front of him she handed her bouquet to Nicole.

"Stop crying. Cause if you cry I'll cry and I don't want to mess up my mascara." She whispered to him making him silently laugh. The ceremony started and went along smoothly. The whole time Ophelia and Tanner just looked towards each other, unless told to do otherwise, and it was the most peaceful moments of their lives. Now it was time for the vows. Ophelia went first because she didn't want hers to look bad if she went after Tanner, she knew him enough to know his would be long. "Tanner. There are lots of things I could talk about. The countless nights we spent on the phone. The times you would go out of your way to help my fall asleep when I couldn't. The times where we would watch rom-coms just to tear into them and point out how cringey they are. But I want to talk about the night you confessed to me. You ran from your house to the café and then to my apartment, which is about four to five miles, and by the time you got there it was raining. When I refused to answer the door because of how stubborn I am, you started to throw pebbles at my window. And just like those cheesy ass rom-coms, you confessed to me while you stood in the rain. Telling me that you liked me since you saw my smile, heard my voice and just walked into the café. That was the moment I was glad I went into work that day, the moment I realized giving my social to Nick was the best thing I could've done, and the moment that I had realized that I had fallen hard for you."

"Let's see if I can live up to that then. Ophelia. Going into that café will always be the best decision I could've ever made. Because little did I know I would meet the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with. I had moments where I knew I liked you, then moments where I knew I loved you, but the moment I knew I wanted to marry you will always be my favorite. When went to Japan and stood in the beautiful park I had my arms wrapped around you and we stood in silence just taking it all in. Sure I would look off into the distance and glance at the skyline, but I was mostly looking at you. Seeing how you hair would perfectly frame your face, watching how your dimples would show when I would tell a joke, and watching how the sun would hit the perfect angle so I could see every color in your eyes. A simple moment that could be perceived by others as normal, but to me it was everything. Every little detail making me realize how much I love you and how much I don't ever want to leave. I made a promise that I would always be there. I intend to keep it because
I'm still here."
