Ari POV

It's my wedding day today. Right now I'm getting my hair and make up done. I'm trying not to cry at how beautiful my bridesmaids and boys look. Ashton isn't here, he's picking up Zara from the airport and the bringing her straight to the church.

"Maybe Zara can sing for you." Larissa joked as she pulled a flower out her hair.

"That's meant to be in there!" I yelled making her stop. "And no." I said more calm.

Everyone laughed and then Gina popped open a bottle of champagne. Rosie had few glasses, that's typical rose.

"Don't try anything Clifford." I said to my brother as he stared at Rosie.

"I wont Clifford. Or should I say folten." He laughed considering my last name.

I always imagined myself as a irwin. This is a huge step for me. I'm getting on with my life and so is Ashton.

Goodbye Ashton. Hello Edward.

...

I was in my dress and I went down stairs to show everyone. They all looked at me shocked and some even cried, Michael shed a tear too.

"You're beautiful sis." Michael choked out. "I can't believe it." He smiled as he held his hand out.

I grasped it and he lead me out to the car. But when I got there it wasn't what I ordered. I stared at it smiling and holding back tears. Edward booked out a horse and carriage, but the horse had a unicorn horn on the top of its head.

"Unicorn, really?" Michael laughed helping me inside the carriage.

"That's one of the first jokes I made to him."

I was shocked he still remembered. I was shocked he could even do something like this.

...

We pulled up at the church and people were already inside. I looked around for any sign of my mom, who I did invite in the end, but nothing.

"Wow, you're gorgeous."

I looked up and saw a blonde haired girl looking at me with a huge smile. She looked so sweet and nice. This must be Zara.

"Thank you."  I smiled at her as I held my dress up off of the ground.

"You found them!" Ashton yelled walking over to us.

"Well she is the only one in a wedding dress riding in a carriage with a unicorn pulling it." Zara laughed.

I looked at Ashton who's eyes widened when he took in my appearance. I rubbed my arm and he smiled.

"You look nice." He offered a compliment.

I rolled my eyes. "Thanks." I muttered walking away.

Nice, nice. Is that fucking it? I'm so done with him forever and always.

...

I was waiting for Michael to give the thumbs up to the vicar as I took two deep breaths.

"I'm scared Michael. I don't know what's going to happen after this."

"Ari, you'll be in love for the rest of your life. Nothing will change, feelings always stay and sometimes it may take some digging but you'll find them again. He's your soul mate Ari, he's nice. He'll always love you just like anyone else would. You'll be fine I promise."

"Thanks Michael." I smiled as he took my arm.

"Ready?"

Another deep breath. "Ready."

...

"If there is anyone here who knows of why these two should not be wed please speak now or forever hold your peace."

It was silent for a few minutes before the sound of a chair scraping along the floor and a cough erupted the echoing church.

"I do."

Mystery POV
I was picking Zara up from the airport today. I was in my tux already and I know Zara will be dressed up by now.

I pulled up into the car park and ran in as I was a few minutes late. I looked around before spotting her, she was running towards me.

She threw her arms around me dropping her case as I caught her.

"I'm glad you came." She whispered.

"Why wouldn't I?" I laughed looking at her.

"I don't know." She laughed. A real laugh.

...

We arrived and Zara and me saw Ari already. I knew she was pissed at me I couldn't care less.

"She looks beautiful. I can't believe you left her." Zara grabbed my hand.

"She left me actually." I coughed.

Then the music began. It was Tenerife sea by Ed Sheeran.

She looked beautiful walking down. Not one flaw on her body and not one thing I didn't love about her.

Wait? What? Love! I love her? No, no I can't. I thought I was over her. I thought I could move on. I can't. What am I doing?

"If there is anyone here who knows of why these two should not be wed please speak now or forever hold your peace."

I stood up my chair scraping along the floor as I coughed.

"I do." I said loudly.

Everyone gasped as Ari and Edward turned to look at me.

"I love you Ari. I thought I could move on and forget you but I can't. I'll never forget you Ari. Every moment we've shared replays in my mind everyday. You're all I ever wanted and more, I can't bare to loose you twice." I moved closer to her. "I know you love me too, I don't want you to find out to late and break Edwards heart. If you don't love him like you love me then don't marry him."

I stood there waiting for a reply as she just stared at me. Edward wiped his cheeks which had tears running down them.

"No Ashton." She said bluntly. "I'm marrying Edward."

She spun around and pulled Edward with her. I stood there shocked, hurt and broken as she told the vicar to continue.

Ari POV

"Do you Edward John folten take Ariana May Clifford to be your lawful wedded wife?"

Edward froze and I stared at him waiting to say 'I do.' He didn't say anything at all, he just stood there.

"Ed, say something." I nudged him.

"I can't." He whispered.

"What?" I took a step back and looked at him.

"I can't marry a girl who loves someone else. I know you love him Ari, I knew the whole time. He's what you want not me."

"No, I want -"

"No, Ariana you don't. You want him, you've always wanted him. You've called me Ashton, you've told me you still love Ashton. The only reason we're still together is because of the baby."

"Baby!?" Michael yelled standing up.

"She didn't want to tell anyone. It hurt too much. She was pregnant but lost it. It was a while ago and she couldn't even think properly for months." Edward told Michael. "But, that's not the point. The point is, if you had to choose between me and Ashton who would you pick?" He pushed for a answer. I didn't. "I can't be second best." He mumbled. "I'm sorry everyone for wasting your time, you're free to go now."

Then Edward left. He left me at the alter crying.
