"𝑱𝑨𝑪𝑲 and Coke?" Brian offered

He handed his brother a cup and Oliver took a sip, flinching slightly at the strength of the liquor.

"Thanks, I needed that," Oliver replied

"Are you sure you're feeling okay? You're looking a little flush." Brian said

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little nervous is all." Oliver said

"I was nervous before my wedding too. That's pretty normal." Brian said

"I love Mia and believe me, I'm ready to make her mine forever... I just hope she feels the same. I hope she doesn't realize she deserves better and leaves me hanging at the altar." Oliver worried

"Well, judging from the way that girl has looked at you since I've met her, she's head over heels for you. Dude, you've got nothing to worry about. She'll be there." Brian assured

"That's true. She always has been." Oliver mumbled

He took another sip of his drink.

"So, be honest with me. What's married life like?" Oliver asked

"Well, since you and Mia have been living together for what seems like forever, it'll probably be a lot like every other day." Brian joked

He took a sip of his own drink before turning a bit more serious.

"But I won't lie, it's definitely hard at times and you'll disagree and you'll fight and it's not always fun. Yet, then again, you'll find ways to work through your problems, you'll make up and everything will totally be worth it in the end. I can't imagine my life without Rory, and if that's the way you feel about Mia, which I know it is, you'll be fine." Brian said, wisely

Oliver drained the rest of his glass before smiling back up at his brother.

"When the hell did you get so wise?" Oliver asked

Brian just shook his head and laughed. Oliver checked his watch before wiping his palms on his dress pants, asking Brian if he had both of the rings for the fifteenth time that day before heading out of his room to the beach where the wedding's being held.

🏎

The sun had set and the torches that surrounded the ceremony area had been lit. Of course actual lights hung from around the area. Enough to illuminate the couple, yet not bright enough to cause temporary blindness.

The echo of high tide waves echoed in the distance, creating the perfect ambience. Their crashing sounding at the perfect volume so as not to ensure that screaming would need to occur in order to hear anyone.

Oliver was standing next to Brian under the arch. The older O'Conner looked out into the crowd, it was a favorite pastime of his at weddings. Seeing the happy faces of his family. Soon the sounds of Christina Perri's "A thousand years" to the tune of cellos was played through the speakers.

Zane and Jack, who were the ring bearers, came down the aisle first and then Lola, who was the maid of honor, came next. Finally, Mia and Dom appeared at the start of the aisle. Oliver grinned at the sight of his fiancée, his eyes already welling up with tears despite the fact that they hadn't even started saying their vows yet. Dom and Mia walked down the aisle and Mia took her place opposite Oliver, him taking her hands in his own.

"Ladies and Gentleman we are here today to witness the wedding of Oliver O'Conner and Mia Toretto. These two souls brought together by love are now ready to take the next step and give themselves to each other for the rest of their lives. Now I know you have written your own vows, so Oliver you can go first." The officiator said

Oliver took a deep breath before starting his vows.

"Mia, for most of my life, I lived it like there was no tomorrow. I made it seem like I cared about no one. That couldn't have been farther from the truth. I had everyone fooled, except for you, you saw the real me before I did, you allowed for that person to come out. Mia, I've never been happier than when I'm with you. Know that I will be forever faithful to you. No matter the day, night or time I'll be there for you. In the eyes of God, our friends and family I vow to forever be the best husband I can be to you, as well as the greatest father to our children.'' Oliver said

Mia teared up, the fact that she had inspired this amazing man that she was now marrying was amazing. There was no doubt in her mind that he was the one for her.

"Mia, it's now your turn." The officiator said

"Ollie, like every little girl, I have always dreamed of a life with a perfect wedding, the perfect guy, and beautiful children. But after my father died and my stupid brother went to prison, that hope sort of faded away until you came along. Sometimes I think you know me better than I know myself. Look, Ollie I could go off telling you all the reasons I love you for days but I'll keep it short, you make me happy. You're there when I'm sad or happy, day or night. Ollie, you gave me a reason to love you; because you're the best friend I could ever ask for." Mia said

"May I have the rings?" The officiator asked

Zane and Jack stepped forwards with the rings, passing one to Mia and one to Oliver, as they both smiled at their sons.

"May the Lord bless these rings which you give to each other as a sign of your love, devotion and everlasting peace. Amen." The officiator said

The officiator looked at Oliver.

"Please place the ring on the ring finger of Mia's left hand and repeat after me: with this ring, I thee wed." The officiator said

Oliver gently slid the ring onto Mia's finger with a smile.

"With this ring, I thee wed." Oliver repeated

A tear slid down Mia's cheek as Oliver brought her hand to his lips for a sweet kiss.

"Mia, place the ring on Oliver's left hand and repeat after me: with this ring, I thee wed." The officiator said

Mia slid the ring on Oliver's finger.

"With this ring, I thee wed." Mia repeated

The officiator smiled warmly and closed the folder he's holding.

"By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride." The officiator said

Not even before he finished speaking, Oliver captured Mia's lips in a kiss that the pair would remember for the rest of their lives.
