Chapter 14:
I couldn't believe that the days were winding down. Tomorrow I'll be Mrs. Stefan Salvatore. Stefan and I were still asleep in our bed the day before the wedding, well I was. I started to wake up when I felt a pair of lips on my shoulders.
"I know you're awake, so you might as well just open those beautiful eyes I love so much." I heard my fiancé say.
"Well I was sleep until I felt a pair of lips on me." I said with a smile as I turned to face Stefan. He just smirked at me before he kissed my lips.
"Well now you felt them on you lips." I just shook my head and brought him in for another kiss.
"Good Morning." I said once we pulled back.
"Good Morning, baby." We laid in bed for a while not talking, just holding each other.
"Just think tomorrow we'll be married."
"I know I've been waiting for that to happen since High School." I told Stefan as he kissed my forehead.
"I promised you that I was going to make you mine forever and I always keep my promises." I just smiled at him and nodded before he leaned down for a kiss.
Our kiss was, sadly, cut short by my cell phone ringing. Groaning, we separated so I could take the call.
"Hello."
"Morning Elena."
"Morning Care. What's up" I giggled as I looked over to see Stefan roll his eyes. I nudged him and told him to hush as he left the room.
"It's good you're up because the girls and I are all taking you shopping, more precisely to Victoria Secret."
"And why do I need to go there?" I asked as I raised one of my eyebrows.
"Um hello, your wedding night is tomorrow, that's why. God Elena, I thought you would have realized that."
"I did and I already have that covered."
"Yeah well you will also be on your honeymoon for 2 weeks. Now be ready by 11. Tootles." Before I could even reply, she had hung up already. I just shook my head and walked out of our room to see Stefan making breakfast.
"What did Care want?" Stefan asked me as I wrapped my arms around his waist.
"To tell me that the girls are all taking me shopping."
"You girls can't go one day without shopping." Stefan said as he chuckled and I hit his arm. "
"Hey, we're girls it's in our nature."
"I know babe, I just messing with you." He said as he kissed the top of my head.
"What about this one sis." Cassie said as she held up some red lace underwear.
"Its cute." I said. We were all in VS as the girls had told me that I needed new underwear because this was going to be a "special 2 weeks." I just rolled my eyes and went along with the flow.
"I can't believe you're getting married tomorrow." Bonnie said as she shook her head.
"You, I can't believe it and I'm the one getting married. I'll tell you want I'm really happy that the day is almost here though." I said with a smile as the girls smiled back.
"I'm sure you are. You and Stefan really deserve it." Meredith said as the girls agreed.
"Thanks girls for always being there for me and Stefan. I don't think we would have made it without your support." I said as I hugged them.
"Hey someone had too, plus of you guys broke up there wouldn't have been any hope for the rest of us." Caroline said as we all laughed.
STEFAN'S P.O.V
"Dude I can't believe that you're getting married tomorrow." Damon told me and the guys and I were all working out in the hotel gym.
As promised, I had gone to go check on the party that we are having tonight and everything looked great. I knew Lena was going to love it. After I did that, the guys and I all agreed to meet up in the gym and work out because we knew tomorrow was going to be hectic.
"Who you telling. Man I can't believe it's finally here." I said with a smile as I thought about Lena.
"Did you ever think that you and Elena would end up married?" Klaus asked with a smirk.
"Please in High School, I never thought that I would get along with her, much less marry her. I'm glad that we did though."
"Just think today is your last official day as a non-tied down man." Matt said as I shook me head.
"I've been tied down to one girl since we were 16. Tomorrow it will just be official but I wouldn't have it any other way." I said as all the guys smiled at me.
"You think Zach and Grayson will show up tomorrow?" Tyler asked.
"I doubt it, you know how my dad is."
"Yeah and Grayson is just as stubborn." Matt said.
"I don't want them here if all they're going to do is tell us that we're making a mistake. If they can't be happy for us then they can just stay home." I said.
"Think they'll ever come around." Damon asked as I sighed.
"I hope so because Lena and I and our marriage are going to be around forever."
"Lena hurry up, we're going to be late!" I heard Stefan yell from the living room. It was around 8:30 and we were on the way to our all white pre-wedding party that was going on in one of the hotel ballrooms.
"I'm coming." I said as I walked out of the bedroom.
"How do I look?" I smirked as Stefan turned around and his jaw dropped.
I was in a knee high all white dress with a sliver belt around the waist with a pair of white wedges. I had my hair in my natural curls and had on light makeup.
"You look…great." Stefan told me after he finally found his voice.
"Well thank you and you don't look half bad either wildcat." I said as I looked him up and down.
"I try. You ready to go." He said as he held out his arm.
"Yep." I said as I kissed his check and we left.
When we reached the party, Jessica saw us and smiled as she announced that we were here. Everyone cheered and many people came up to congratulate us. I had loved how Jessica had designed everything. Everything looked great and everyone really enjoyed it. Jeremy was around filming people for the wedding video, our mom's were talking to some of our family members and the girls had found me and pulled me to the dance floor. I just smiled and kissed Stefan before I ran off with my girls. Mid-way through the party, Stefan had stood up to make a toast.
"On behalf of Lena and I, I would like to thank you all for being here. Tomorrow is the wedding and I can't wait. Tomorrow couldn't come fast enough for us and I just really want to thank our friends because if it hadn't been for them and there support, I don't think Lena and I would have made it so thanks guys." Stefan said as they all raised their glasses and smiled.
"I hope you all enjoy the rest of the party and tomorrow." He said before sitting back down and kissing me. After his little speech, we walked off on our own for a little privacy.
"You know I had told the girls the exact same thing you just said. About them supporting us."
"You think we would have cracked under pressure too huh?"
"Oh yeah." I said with a laugh. Stefan intertwined our hands, before pulling me into his arms
"I'm happy we made it this far though. Just think by this time tomorrow, we will be Mr. and Mrs. Stefan Salvatore."
"I know, I can't wait." I said with a smile as I kissed him. The kiss was just getting deeper when, of course, we were interrupted.
"Yo love birds lets go, party's over." Damon said as we both groaned and pulled back.
"Why its like 12:30pm." I head Stefan say.
"Exactly, us girls need our beauty sleep seeing as we will be up early." Bonnie said as Stefan and I rolled our eyes.
"Don't worry, I'll bring Lena back to the room."
"Oh I don't think so Salvatore, you know the rules, you and Elena have to sleep in separate rooms and knowing you, you'll go and get another room for the two of you." Bonnie said as I had to agree with her on that one. Ever since Stefan found out that we were going to be sleeping in different rooms the night before the wedding, he had been coming up with plans to change that.
"Come on babe, it's a tradition." I told Stefan as he looked at me.
"Since when have we followed tradition?" That was of course also true.
"Come on baby, its just one night."
"Lena, its like 12:30 now and the weddings not until 3 which means I won't see you for like 15 hours."
"Wow and to think you need help in Math in high school." Damon said as Stefan glared at him and Bonnie and I laughed.
"Don't worry babe, the hours will just fly by." I said as I wrapped my arms around him and he sighed.
"Okay, okay, okay. I guess one night won't hurt." He said with a small smile.
"I love you wildcat."
"Love you too Lena."
STEFAN'S P.O.V
I lay in my bed, on October 25, as I realized that it was my wedding day. It was about 7:30 in the morning and I had been up for about an hour. I couldn't believe that the day was finally here. In a matter of hours, Elena and I would be married. I couldn't help but think about her at the moment. I mean she is my soon to be wife after all. Rolling over on my bed, I grabbed my cell phone that was sitting on the desk and hit speed number 2.
"Hello." I smiled as I heard her voice. God did I miss that voice and it had only been one night.
"Hi beautiful."
"Wildcat. Oh God I miss you."
"I miss you too baby. How are you feeling?" I asked as I walked out onto the balcony.
"Excited, what about you?"
"The same, I just really want to see you. I know it's only been one night, but God I want you in my arms so bad."
"Same here wildcat." She said with a giggle, which made me smile.
"The girls took my phone thinking that we had a plan to meet up. They made sure I wasn't going anywhere last night." She said as we both laughed.
"Yeah so did the guys. I swear they have no faith in us."
"You know you probably had a plan to get over here last night."
"You know me so well." I said with a grin. I heard in the background, the girls calling her so I knew she had to go.
"Sorry wildcat, but I have to go, but I'll see you later."
"Of course. I'll be the one with the mega-watt grin." I said as I knew she was smiling.
"And I'll be the one in the white dress."
"And I'm sure you're going to look beautiful. I love you Lena."
"I love you too Wildcat." After we hung up, I stared at the ocean as I thought about how in a few hours, I would have my wife.
"I can't believe that in 2 hours, I'll be married." I said with a smile on my face as the girls helped me get ready. My mother had just got done with my sister's hair and now she was doing mine.
"I know, it seems like you and Stefan just started dating." Meredith said with a smile.
"Remind me again, why you started dating him." Caroline said as we all laughed.
"Well after he stopped being a complete asshole, he was really sweet and charming." I said as the mothers started laughing.
"Well I for one am happy that you too are together and are getting married." Kat said smiling at me. "You defiantly changed my son and I'm grateful for that."
I just smiled and hugged her as I was happy that her and my mom was there.
"Well now all we need to know is, who's wedding is next." My mom said looking at the girls. The all just shrugged their shoulders and looked at each other.
"Hey it's up to them." Cassie replied.
"My money's on Klaus and Caroline." I told them as Caroline blushed and the girls all laughed.
WITH THE GUYS
"This is sooooooo going in the behind the scenes part of the wedding." Jeremy said with a chuckle as he held his camera recording Stefan. He along with the others guys watched as Stefan paced the floor, nervous about the wedding.
"Stefan, man will you calm down." Tyler said as he tried to get him to stop pacing.
"What if she's changed her mind? What if she thought her dad was right and left. I mean what if"
"Stefan I swear to God, if you say "what if" one more time." Damon said as he went over to his best friend. "Dude, Elena loves you. She's probably in her room now, getting ready. She's going to walk down the aisle and you two are going to say "I do" and live happily ever after."
"Stefan, how about I go down to my sister's room and see how she's doing." Jeremy offered.
"Thanks Jer." Stefan replied gratefully.
"No problem." Once Jeremy reached the room, he knocked on the door and smiled when he saw his mom.
"Hi mum." Jeremy said as his mother smiled.
"Hello Sweetie. Don't you look handsome."
"Well I try." Jeremy said as the two walked more into the suite.
"Hi girls." Jeremy said as the girls replied.
"What are you doing here?" Cassie asked her littler brother.
"It seems that our groom is having a panic attack."
"Is he okay?" Elena asked worried.
"Yeah, he just thinks that you decided to back out on the wedding. Do you think you can knock some sense into him?" Jeremy said as his sister giggled.
"Yeah you got your camera." Elena asked as her brother held up his camera.
"Hi wildcat. I heard that you were having a panic attack, thinking I was going to stand you up. There is no other place I would want to be today. We've been waiting forever for this day to come. I love you so much and I can't wait until we say "I do"." Before the camera shut off, Elena blew a kiss into it and waved.
"Now do you feel better?" Jeremy asked as he looked at Stefan who had a smile on his face.
"Yeah, thanks Jeremy."
I ran my hand over my wedding dress with a smile as I looked in the mirror. I couldn't believe it. I was finally getting married. I was finally marrying the love of my life. I really wish my dad was here to see how happy I was, but hey what can you do.
"Wow look at the smile." I turned around to see my little brother smiling at me with his hands in his pockets.
"You look beautiful Elena." I just smiled at him as I brought him in for a hug.
"Thanks Jer. And thanks for walking me down the aisle."
"Hey I don't mind. I know you wanted dad to do it, but trust me I feel honored to do it myself." He said as he smiled at me.
"Now let's go get you married." He told me with a smile as I smiled back.
We walked up to the double doors, and I let a breath out as I heard the music started. I looked at my brother and he squeezed my arm in a loving way as the doors open. My breath caught in my throat as I saw Stefan. He looked beyond handsome in his tux and he smiled as he saw me. Him smiling made me smile and it seems as though it took me forever to reach him. Once I finally did, Jeremy shook his hand and kissed my forehead before going to go and sit by my mum. Throughout the ceremony, my smile never left my face and neither did Stefan. When it was time to say our vows, Stefan made me cry so much that I'm glad I had on water proof make-up.
"It is now my pleasure to announce you husband and wife. Stefan you may now kiss your bride." I smiled as I partially jumped in Stefan's arms and kissed him. I squealed when he dipped and smiled once we pulled back.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Stefan Salvatore." Everyone clapped and cheered when we walked back down the aisle holding hands as husband and wife.
The reception party was great. Stefan and I hadn't left each other side since we were pronounced husband and wife. Everyone came up and congratulated us as we just smiled at each other.
"I can't believe you're finally my wife." Stefan said as he kissed me on my neck as I giggled.
"Alright everyone, its time for the speeches to be said." Damon said as everyone got quiet. We watched as Damon stood up and held his drink.
"Alright everyone, if you don't know, Stefan and I have been friends since birth. I couldn't have ask for a better friend and if it wasn't for him and Elena, I wouldn't have gotten together with my own girlfriend." Damon said as we smiled at him.
"Guys I haven't seen two people more in love with each other then you too. Elena, I love you like a sister and I just wanted to say good luck and God bless your heart with handling this knuckle head. I love you both and congrats." Damon said as everyone clapped and he and Stefan did their man hug and I hugged him before kissing him on his cheek.
"I guess its my turn." Cassie said as she stood up.
"When I first found out about my sister and Stefan, I was unsure, but then I realized that he was great for my sister. I've never seen my sister happier than when she is with Stefan. Stefan, I love you like a brother and I'm grateful that my sister has found someone as great as you." My sister smiled at us as she held up her glass. "To Stefan and Elena."
"To Stefan and Elena." Everyone repeated as they drank from their glass and Stefan leaned over to kiss me. It had finally happened. I had finally gotten my happy ending and I wasn't going to let anybody ruin it.
Jeremy was sitting in the living room on his computer, looking at all the recordings he got. Him and Miranda had got back yesterday after taking Elena and Stefan to the airport. The two were going to the Bahamas for their honeymoon and he couldn't be happier for his sister and new brother in law. He was still on his computer, when his father had walked in.
"What you up to." Grayson asked his son as he came and sat by him.
"Fixing together Elena's wedding video."
"So she actually went through with it huh." Grayson said as Jeremy rolled his eyes.
"Yes dad she went through with it. Elena is happily married and is now Elena Salvatore, much to your dismay."
"I just can't believe she actually did it."
"Dad she's been with him for years. They're happy. Why can't you just let it go? I love Stefan like the brother I always have and he loves Elena. As long as he loves her and protects her than I'm ok. Shouldn't you be too?" Jeremy told his father as he took his laptop and left the room.
Greg just sat there as he let everything his son say, sink in. Maybe he was right? Maybe he should let it go?
A/N: The next chapter I'm going to skip a couple of years.
