6 months later

Alex took a deep breath as she was looking at herself in the full-length mirror that was in the room where she'd been getting ready. She patted her dress down as she took another breath. "Oh my Rao," Kara gasped as she walked back into the room. She was maid of honour for both Alex and Maggie so she had been going back and forth all morning. "Alex," Kara put her hand on her chest. "You look so beautiful." Kara said, waving her hand in front of her face trying to stop herself from crying as she looked at Alex in her dress. It had a sweetheart neckline and was an ivory in colour.

"Don't," Alex warned her. "You'll make me cry."

"You've already set me off," Eliza said, reaching for a tissue and dabbing under her eyes. "Alexandra darling, you are so beautiful," Eliza walked closer to her and rubbed her arm. "And I am so proud of you."

"Mum, don't. Please, I cannot ruin my make-up." Alex sounded like her voice was about to break at not only being repeatedly told how beautiful she was but at the thought of almost getting to see Maggie. She knew Maggie was going to look absolutely drop dead gorgeous and she couldn't wait for it. She couldn't wait to walk down the aisle and become a Mrs, to have their first dance together and to spend the rest of their lives as Mrs and Mrs Danvers, going on vacations and adventures with Theo and any possible children that they may have.

"You are so going to be a blubbering wreck when you see Maggie anyways," Kara told her. "She is a vision." Kara said as she patted down her soft blue bridesmaid dress.

"Ah, I can only imagine," Alex replied. "It is time yet? I want to go. I don't want to wait any longer. I want to marry my girl now." Alex said, feeling a little more nervous but it was a good kind of nervous, if there was such a thing.

"I can go see if Maggie is ready then check with the officiant," Kara said and Alex gave a little nod. Kara left the room and walked the short distance to the room where Maggie was getting ready. She knocked on the door before walking in, seeing Maggie looked rather upset as Gloria was trying to console her. "Is she okay?" Kara mouthed as Gloria looked up to her.

"I'm going to have a family," Maggie pursed her lips, trying her best not to let the tears fall that were so wanting too. "Properly, we are going to be family. I'm finally going to belong somewhere."

"Maggie," Kara spoke softly as she rubbed her upper arm. "We've been your family for a long, long time." Kara assured her.

"Yeah but this makes it official, right," Maggie swallowed a lump in her throat. "My own parents don't care about me. They are my parents. Their only little girl is getting married and they don't care to know," Maggie said. "And I know I've had nothing to do with them for years, for a long, long time and Gloria is a mother to me more than my Mum ever has been, but I….I'm their only child and they don't care."

"I told them about the wedding," Gloria said, seeing Kara looked a little confused. As far as Kara was aware Maggie hadn't spoken to her parents in years, never mind inviting them to her wedding. "You know, that I was coming here," Gloria told her. "I try to tell her she is better off without them but maybe she is allowed to be a little emotional today."

"Yeah." Kara nodded.

"I want Alex," Maggie sniffed back. "Get me Alex, Kara. Please get me Alex."

"Hey, you are going to see Alex real soon," Kara told her, continuing to rub her arm. "You are going to marry her and you'll become Mrs Maggie Danvers," Kara gave her a smile. "And you can't cry because you will ruin your make-up and I've already old Alex that you are a vision and if you're not then she'll kick my ass for lying to her and I don't really want that to happen." Kara said and Maggie gave a little laugh, Kara smiling as she got the reaction she wanted.

"She is a vision," Gloria smiled as she looked at her niece. Maggie was also in a dress. She'd toyed with the idea of a suit but in the end, she wanted to wear a dress. It was also ivory in colour, but her had off the shoulder straps. Her long dark hair was flowing in loose curls, down passed her shoulders. "You look beautiful darling and I am so proud of you," Gloria rubbed Maggie's arm. "You deserve to have this after all you've been through," Gloria told her. "And I am always going to be proud to call you niece…..hell, you've been a daughter to me, Maggie. And I know we might have lost touch over the years and I think that might be because you want as little to do with Blue Springs as possible but please know that you and Alex are always going to be my family and you are always welcome in my home."

Maggie gave a little nod, taking a deep breath to stay composed. "We'll keep in touch more, I promise," Maggie told her. "I love you, Aunt Gloria."

"I love you too, darling. Very much." Gloria said, pulling Maggie into a hug.

"Ahh this is a lovely moment and all but watch the dress." Kara was worried that Maggie's wedding dress would crease. Maggie and Gloria pulled back from the embrace. "How about I go see if it's time for you to become Mrs Danvers?" Kara said and Maggie gave little nod, because she was more than ready.

The location for the wedding was just over an hour out of the city. It was a beautiful spot by a lake. Chairs sat facing the lake as a wooden archway was at the start of the pier, this the place where Maggie and Alex would stand and say their vows and commit themselves to each other. It was the most beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky as the sun shone brightly. All the guest had arrived and were seated and Eliza and Gloria had taken their seats up front. Maggie and Alex were standing, one at each end of the two groups of chairs, both of them staring intently, completely captivated by the others beauty. As the music started, Kara started walking down the aisle as Maggie and Alex walked towards each other, coming to a stop as they met in the middle of the rows of seats and the bottom of the aisle. "You are absolutely breathtaking." Alex murmured as she ran her fingers through Maggie's hair.

"Not as much as you." Maggie whispered back before they linked arms and walked down the aisle together, taking their own spin on the tradition. They followed behind Kara until they reached the wooden archway, Kara taking their flowers from them, passing them to Eliza and Gloria for now. They turned to face each other, Maggie holding her right hand and out and Alex gently placing hers into it.

"Welcome, family and friends of Alexandra and Margaret," The officiant started. "We have come here today to celebrate their union and the commitment they are making of a lifelong relationship," She continued. "They have spent more than 2 and half years together, falling in love, learning to trust and respect one another. They've stuck by each other through everything, the good and the bad, and have faced some hard times, but are still committed to each other which is why they are standing here today, to affirm their everlasting love for one another," The officiant spoke softly. Eliza and Gloria both wiped tears from their eyes, before Gloria put her hand on top of Eliza's giving it a comforting squeeze. "Alexandra and Margaret, do you both willing present yourself of your own accord to be joined in marriage?"

"We do." Alex and Maggie spoke at the same time.

"Then please present the vows." She looked at Alex, who took a deep breath, Maggie giving her hand a squeeze, bringing her a little encouragement.

"Maggie," Alex exhaled, holding both of Maggie's hands in hers. "I may not remember everything about the first two years of our lives together, but I know enough to know how truly wonderful and loving you are," Alex told her, feeling tears forming in her eyes and seeing them in Maggie's as well. "I remember the first time we met and I was all ballsy and told you where to go," Alex said, getting a couple of laughs from the guests. "But, I must have done something right because here we stand today, about to commit to a lifetime together," Alex said, sniffing back as a tear rolled down her cheek. "I remember the second first time I met you," There were a few more laughs from the guests. "And how devastated you looked when I said I couldn't remember you," Alex watched as a tear slipped out of Maggie's eye. "But again, here we are, 8 months later, making this commitment," Alex took a deep breath. "And, I thank you for not giving up on me," Alex told her. "You are the love of my life. You have captured my heart, Margaret Ellen Sawyer," Alex gave her a smile. "I love the way you comfort me, the way you make me feel safe and the way that you are just….always there," Alex told her, Maggie giving her a smile, revealing those dimples that made Alex go weak at the knees. "I promise to love you, to trust you, to honour you, to respect you, and cherish you as my wife. I know I'm not perfect, but I love that you treat me like I am," Alex told her. "You make me feel like the luckiest woman on the planet and I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with you by my side," Alex felt a tear roll down her cheek. "I can't wait for whatever our future may bring, because I know that no matter what it does, with you by my side, I'll get through anything. I love you, Maggie. And it's you and me. Always." Alex said, swallowing a lump in her throat as she blinked away more tears that wanted to fall.

"How am I supposed to follow that?" Maggie murmured, some laughter from the guests could once again be heard. She took a deep breath before she cleared a lump in her throat. "I have to catch my breath to believe this is real. To believe that I am marrying my true love, my heart's desire, and my best friend, because I know I am the lucky one. You are amazing, Alexandra Danvers. You have let me feel love and trust that I didn't think was possible to feel. I have never felt like I have belonged anywhere as much as I do when I am with you. You are the best part of my day, always. You are the kindest, most sincere, loveliest woman I know, and I am lucky to hold your hand, be in your arms and in your heart," Maggie took a moment to compose herself as she felt a tear rolling down her cheek. Alex squeezed her hands as a tear also fell from her eye. "Today, tomorrow, and every day, I need you beside me to love me and to be my best friend. You are everything I have ever dreamed of and more. You are the love of my life. You are my soul mate and I thank you, Alex, for not giving up on us 8 months ago. I thank you for believing in me, and for giving me a chance to let you see how much I love you and how we…" Maggie took a moment. Alex squeezed her hands again, showing her support. "How we are meant to be, because, it's you and me. Always." Maggie said, Kara handing both the women a tissue, seeing they were finished with their vows.

"Do we have the rings?" The officiant asked she looked to Kara. Kara nodded in response, handing the rings out to her. She took them in her hand and held them out. Alex let go of Maggie's hands and picked up the wedding band, a simple, thin, white gold ring. She took Maggie's left hand back into hers.

"Maggie, I give you this ring as a symbol of our love and commitment. I promise to remain faithful and stick by you through the hard times and be there for you in times of need." Alex said, as she placed the ring on Maggie's finger.

The officiant looked to Maggie and she picked up Alex's ring, also the same simple thin white gold ring. "Alex," Maggie gave her a smile. "I give you this ring as a symbol of our love and commitment. I promise to remain faithful and stick by you through the hard times and be there for you in times of need." Maggie smiled at her again, those dimples showing as she slid the ring onto her finger.

"It is with great pleasure that I pronounce you spouses for life," The officiant beamed. "You may kiss." Alex raised her eyebrows as she leaned down, her arms wrapping around Maggie as their lips met.

Most of the guests had left. Eliza and Gloria were sitting at one of the tables, deep in conversation. Kara and Lena were sitting out on the pier, their legs hanging over and into the lake as they talked and shared a bottle of champagne, passing it back and forth between each other. Alex and Maggie had been the only ones on the dance floor for a while but they didn't care. Even when the DJ had left, they stayed in each other's arms, slow dancing, not even caring that there was no music. Alex eventually led Maggie off the dance floor and took her outside, walking a few metres away before stopping and looking up to the stars. She wrapped her arms around Maggie from behind and rested her head against her shoulder. "Today has been the best day of my life." Alex told her.

"In a way, I don't want it to end but then I do because I can't wait to see what is going to happen next for us." Maggie said, her hands resting over Alex's.

"That's probably going to be the honeymoon," Alex grinned. "Two weeks of just the two of us. White sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, relaxation…." Alex trailed off. "I can't wait." Alex said, doing her best to move Maggie's hair to the side so she could kiss her neck, her hands staying around her waist, not wanting to let go of her wife.

"Me either," Maggie said as she turned herself around, Alex keeping her hands around her. "But I don't know how much relaxing we'll be doing…." Maggie trailed off as she raised her eyebrows suggestively before she placed a kiss on her wife's lips.

"You have something else in mind for us to be getting up to?" Alex questioned.

"Mmm," Maggie nodded. "How about you come to the lodge with me and I will show you exactly what I have in mind?" Maggie said, her hand caressing the small of Alex's back. Alex just raised her eyebrows as she pulled Maggie in for another kiss. Maggie and Alex were staying in one of the lodges by the lake for the night.

"Hmm," Alex pulled back. "As tempting as that sounds, I am actually enjoying standing here under the stars with my gorgeous wife," Alex said. "And I mean, believe me, as beautiful as you look in that dress I cannot wait to get you out of it," Alex told her. "But, I….I just want a few more minutes out here, watching the stars."

"Okay," Maggie rubbed her cheek. She figured that Alex being out and looking at the stars had something to do with her father being absent from her wedding, so she would let her have the time she wanted, looking up at the stars, something which reminded her of her father. "Take as long as you need," Maggie gave Alex a knowing smile and Alex gave her a thankful smile in response. "It's not the worst thing in the world looking up at the stars with your wife on the day you married anyways," Maggie spoke softly, letting Alex rest herself against her, Maggie wrapping her arms around her again as she kissed the top of her head. "They are so bright tonight." Maggie noted.

"You are my brightest star." Alex murmured.

"Aww I'd call you cheesy if you said that on any other day," Maggie laughed. "But with it being our wedding day you get away with it." Maggie told her.

Alex gave a little laugh as she pulled back from the embrace, a smile on her face as she looked into Maggie's, deep, dark eyes. "How about this one?" Alex questioned. Maggie titled her head to the side ever so slightly, wondering what Alex was going to say. "I love you more than all the stars in the sky." Alex said, tucking Maggie's hair behind her ear before rubbing her cheek.

Maggie smiled, her dimples on full display. "I'd say the very same back to you, babe," Maggie told her. "Because, I too love you more than all the stars in the sky." Maggie said, Alex smiling before leaning in and placing a kiss on her wife's lips. Maggie smiled into the kiss, letting it deepen, as Alex wrapped her arms around her, pulling her in so her body was pressed against hers, the kiss only growing in passion.

"Mmm," Alex pulled back and put her hand on the love heart pendant that was still around Maggie's neck. Like she'd promised, she'd never taken it off since Alex gave her it for Christmas. "It's you and me, always, Mrs Danvers." Alex grinned before she grabbed Maggie's hand and led her over to their lodge.
