In the blink of an eye, July 12 finally came around and I was standing in front of the mirror as my mum tied my tie. I was persuasive about getting all the boys invited to the wedding, of course El and Derek, El’s soon-to-be-husband, were perfectly okay with it.
“Nervous?” she asked.
“A little, but it’s going to be okay though.” I smiled. There was a knock on the door and Harry entered, “Well, don’t you look smashing.” he smirked and came and wrapped his arms around me.
“Mm I prefer sexy, but smashing works too.” I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck.
“You guys are just too cute.” my mum gushed, “Well, I’m going to go help El get ready. Break a leg sweetheart.” mum said and kissed my cheek.
“Nervous?” he asked placing his forehead to mine.
“Why is everyone asking if I’m the nervous one? I’m not the one getting married here.” I chuckled.
“No, but you’d look striking on our wedding day.” he smiled.
“Our wedding day? What if I don’t want to marry you, Harold? What if I want to marry..”
“Hey lads!” Niall said cheerfully as we walked into the room.
“Niall! Huh? What if I want to marry this Irish bloke?” I said and walked over to him and threw my arm around my shoulders.
“Uh, what?” he asked in confusion.
Harry gasped, “What?! You’d marry Niall and not me?” Harry acted offended.
“Ni is my one true love Hazza.” I said.
“What?” I heard from behind me, it was Liam.
“We’re discussing how Niall’s my one true love and that we’re getting married.” I explained again.
“Uh, no. Mine.” he said and pulled Niall into him.
“Niall! How could you?! After all we’ve been through?!” I yelled and dropped to my knees.
“Lou, get up.” Harry laughed.
“No. Niall broke my heart.” I pouted.
“But I want a kiss.” he pouted.
“Harold! How dare you talk about wanting a kiss from me when Niall just broke up with me?!” I asked as I brought myself to my feet.
“Louis, no. Please don’t be mad at me!” he pleaded as I turned around away from him and crossed my arms over my chest.
“Louis, I’m sorry. Please forgive me?” Harry asked quietly as he wrapped his arms around my waist from behind.
“Fine.” I huffed.
“Yay! Now can I have a kiss?” he asked hopefully.
“I have to go. The wedding is starting.” I said when I got a text from Derek that they were lining up behind the door.
“Good luck, babe.” Harry mumbled then kissed my lips briefly.
“Thanks babycakes.” I smiled then kissed his cheek. I ran to the front of the line with El’s maid of honor, Jesse.
“Hi, I’m Jesse.” she smiled as we linked our arms, “Louis.” I smiled and pushed up my glasses as the door opened and we all walked down the aisle and to the alter. I passed by Harry who was at the front of the church. He smiled and gave me a thumbs up, I just smiled and rolled my eyes.
The ceremony wasn’t terribly long. Once they said ‘I do.’ everyone cheered and were teary-eyed, including myself. I mean my best friend just got married!
At the reception El changed into a shorter dress so that she can dance. The reception was held at the church in a ballroom type area.
“May we have the beautiful bride and handsome groom on the dance floor please!” the DJ said as the middle of the dance floor cleared and Eleanor and Derek stepped into the circle.
I watched as they slowly swayed to the soft music, El looked like she was having the time of her life. She looked beautiful, she married her high school sweetheart and she was settling down. What more could you ever want? The rest of the couples started surrounding the bride and groom.
“Care to dance?” I heard Harry ask. I looked up at him from the seat I was in.
“I thought it wasn’t really your thing.” I smirked.
“Well that was until this handsome gentleman changed my mind and taught me to dance.” he smiled and held out his hand.
“Then yes, I’d love to.” I said and took his hand and he led me to the dance floor. He settled his hands on my hips and I wrapped my arms around his neck and we swayed to the music.
“I love you, Boo.” Harry whispered.
“I love you, Haz.” I smiled.
“I promise, babe, I’m going to fix you and everything is going to be okay.” he said and pressed his forehead to mine. My eyes started to water, “Lou, what’s wrong?” he asked.
“You’re just.. you.” I laughed a little.
“Is it a good thing?” he laughed.
“It’s the best thing ever.” I smiled and pecked his lips.
“Do you mind if I..” El asked Harry.
“Of course, go right ahead.” he smiled.
Eleanor wrapped her arms around my neck and I placed mine around her waist, “You look stunning Eleanor, I’m proud of you.” I smiled as she blushed, “Thank you, Lou. You look striking as well.” she smiled.
“Thank you. So where are you guys going for your honeymoon?” I asked.
“Guatemala. We rented a beach house. It’s beautiful, we’re staying for two weeks.” she grinned.
“Well, I’m really glad that you found someone that makes you happy, but one wrong move and he’s gone. Got it?” I warned, she just rolled her eyes and continued to sway with me. In primary school, El and I made a pact, whoever we marry, if we didn’t get married to each other, that no matter what we’d always stay friends and if our partner ever mistreated us then they were out of our lives forever. The music ended and everyone clapped while an up-beat song came on.
The night consisted of dancing, laughing, smiling, tears, drinking and just great fun.
“El, we’ve got to bounce but today was amazing!” I said as I round up the boys to head home.
“Aw! Well thank you guys for coming!” she said and hugged all of us.
“Oh, El. I have a present for you.” I smiled.
“What?! No! You said the dress was my gift! I’m not taking it from you Louis.” she said.
“Please? It’ll make me happy.” I smiled.
“Ugh! Fine, but no more.” she laughed a little, “You’re killing me.” she said and took the small box from my hand.
“Oh my.. Louis. It’s beautiful.” she said tearing up. “I love it! Thank you!” she cried and wrapped her arms around my neck to hug me.
“Sure thing, El.” I smiled and hugged her back.
Inside the box was a picture of us from Year 1, when we met, and a friendship necklace.
“Where’s the other half?” she asked pulling away. I reach into my shirt and pulled out the other half that was already around my neck.
“Will you put it on?” she asked pushing the necklace into my hands.
“Of course.” I said and she turned around as I clasped the necklace around her neck. She has ‘Friend’ and I have ‘Best’.
“Louis, it’s so beautiful. Thank you so much.” she cried and hugged me again.
“You’re welcome. I love you, El.” I smiled as she let me go.
“I love you, Lou.” she smiled and she kissed my cheek and I kissed hers. We finally left after that.
“Lou, what’d you get her? We didn’t see what it was.” Zayn asked.
“It was a picture frame with us from primary school and a friendship necklace.” I smiled and he nodded.
We arrived home late and we all went up to our rooms, Harry and I share a room again.
“So when do you go to college?” Harry asked as we laid in bed tangled together in our joggers.
“Some time in August. They haven’t sent me a letter to say if I was denied or accepted though. It should be here, hopefully, soon.” I sighed.
“Don’t worry, I know you got in.” Harry assured.
“Thanks, Haz. Night.” I said and buried myself deeper into his chest.
“Good night Boo, I love you.” he said and kissed my head.
“Love you.” I said as sleep quickly took over my body.
