Epilogue

Nowadays

"This is breathtaking! Really, an excellent job, Emily!"

"Thanks, Nigel."

"How the business is doing?"

"Well, this is the first."

Emily left Runway and began her own business. A party organizer's business.

"You really started with the right foot. You know, a million girls would kill for that job!" They laughed.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art was glowing. Of course, the place was regularly booked for reception, parties and stuff like that, but Miranda Priestly was well known for innovating everything. Why not her own wedding?

Everybody was excited. Of course they were old news, after nearly six years together, which two of them they were engaged. It was at the Christmas party at Andrea's parents' house and Miranda took the opportunity. Very old-fashionable style, kneeling and all, diamond ring and Richard, Andy's dad, made a very convincing imitation of a statue when Miranda asked his permission. Caroline and Cassidy laughed, Andy's mom began to cry.

But Miranda never would forget the sparkle in Andrea's eyes. A smile spread all over her face and she said yes, tears forming in her eyes. Everybody, including her own mother, said it wouldn't last. But here she was, waiting for her fiancé, soon to be wife, to enter the hall.

Her white Armani suit made her look like a vision, like an angel. Andrea insisted she would be wearing a skirt or a dress, but the moment she laid her eyes on it, she was in love with the outfit.

Emily and Nigel were Miranda's groomsmen. Rachel; Andy's sister, and her husband, Mark, were Andy's. The guests entered and everyone got settled and waited patiently. The song, indicating that the bride would be making her entrance started playing and Miranda woke up from her daydream.

She will be my wife.

At the end of the hall, Richard offered his arm to his daughter. "It's time. I want you to know that I'm really happy for you, Andy. You know that I had my reservations, but she really loves you."

"And I love her, dad. Really love her."

"Mommy."

Andy looked down at her little son. "What's it, baby?"

"Why am I not carrying flowers, like Cass and Caro?"

"Because you're the man of the house. You will carry the rings. It's a really important job!"

Aaron was five years old. Talk-active, but polite; he was a Priestly after all, even not being Miranda's blood. Blond and very blue eyes, like his father, but the nose and the full lips like his mother. Sometimes his blue eyes, when he was angry, were very Miranda-ish, which made Andy shiver.

Aaron smiled. "I will be careful, Mommy. And Mom will be proud of us."

"Yes, baby. She will."

Turning to her dad, Andy smiled. "I'm ready."

When Miranda saw her little boy, wearing a suit similar to hers, and her daughters, she couldn't keep the tears from falling down. What a vision, she thought. Her family, together.

Then Andrea appeared. Miranda's heart skipped a few beats, because her fiancé was breathtaking. Her white dress, Valentino, of course, contoured perfectly every curve of her body. God, she will be my wife! And she is just, perfect…

Andrea's smile was the most beautiful thing she had saw in her entire life. After six years together, every day made their bond and love stronger, with one word, one look, one kiss…

Aaron stepped next to Andrea's parents. He smiled to his mom and waited for his sisters. Cassidy and Caroline stepped next to Nigel and Emily.

Richard looked at Miranda. "I know we started in bad terms, but I also know you love my daughter and you'll make her happy, with your children. Take care of my baby."

"I will, Mr. Sachs." Richard put Andrea's hands in Miranda's and she looked at her love. "I will."

The squire started the ceremony. Miranda and Andrea looked at each other during all his speech, smiling at each other.

"You both, now, will make your vows."

Aaron approached, bringing the rings with him. Handing one to his mom, he smiled.

"I should be the expert in marriages here." Everybody laughed. "But, I know this isn't the same. From the very beginning, it wasn't the same. I fell in love with you from the first time I saw you." Andrea squeezed her hands, shocked with this revelation. Miranda always refused to say when she realized she was in love with Andrea. "Yes, I knew it. When you talked about yourself, how you could learn fast, you would work hard. And I did just that. I made you work hard, and you learnt fast. But, while everybody was commenting about the girl, I saw the woman you were, you are. And I saw too the heart, this big loving heart." She put a hand over Andrea's chest, and one hand covered her own. "You cared about me, Miranda, the woman behind the icon. You're loyal, loving, beautiful, smart… And I'm very lucky to have you by my side for all these years and from now until the rest of our lives. With this ring," she put the ring on Andrea's finger, "I wed you, to love you, respect you and be faithful all my life." She kissed Andrea's hand.

Claps and whistles echoed in the hall. Aaron turned to his mommy and handed her the other ring.

"Thanks, baby." He smiled.

"Well, the smart, fat girl worked hard. Really hard, to become just the smart girl." Everyone laughed again. "From day one, I had this desire to know the woman, like you said, behind the icon. Then, when I saw her, and you know when," Andrea told her about Paris, that day she realized she was in love with her boss. After see Miranda crying, she knew she could see the real Miranda. "I thought I wouldn't see anybody else, I wouldn't want anybody else in my life. Every day I ask myself if you really want to be with me and, when I look into your eyes, I know the answer. I heard so many things about you, and, even after you retired, they are still calling you the Ice Queen. You know what? Ice? Never. Queen? Forever." Andy winked at her and took her hand. "With this ring," she put the ring on Miranda's finger, "I wed you, to love you, respect you and be faithful all my life."

The squire turned to them both. "I declare you both married. You can kiss the bride."

Miranda wrapped her arms around Andrea's waist. "I love you, darling."

Andy nuzzled her neck. "I know." She smiled and couldn't wait for the rest of their lives together.

The End
