Okay, take a deep breath Louis, you can do this. It's just a speech right? You've done countless speeches before, this is the same.

But this is different Louis, this one's in front of Harry, to Harry, an annoying voice spoke inside my head.

Before I could think anything though, a cough snapped me back to reality.

"You all right mate?" One of my closest friend, Liam, asks me.

"He's standing in front of a mirror in a bathroom 15 minutes before his wedding, what do you think?" Speaks up Zayn, who probably came in just now.

"Well all right, just asking!" Liam said, raising his hands in a defensive manner.

"Oh just lads being lads and doing laddy things in the bathroom eh?" Niall, my other best mate said, walking in the bathroom just as he shooed another man out.

"Well isn't this a party boys?" I speak, sarcasm laced in my voice, clearly hinting at them to leave.

But seeing my luck, they completely ignore my hint or even what I said as they start talking amongst each other.

"It's nothing, just Louis here being a nervous mess"

"Now that's a delight to watch Liam"

"Guys, I don't think Harry is going to be too pleased if he found out we were alone with his soon-to-be-husband in the bathroom couple of minutes before their wedding"

"Well that's the first time you've said something smart brown eyes"

"Oh shut up Niall. What're you doing here anyway Louis?"

"Oh so someone still remembers me?" I sass, an annoyed look on my face towards the three idiots in the bathroom with me.

"Anyways, I was just practicing my speech which I'd like to continue if you lads don't mind"

"Geez no need to get mad Louis," Zayn, or as we like to call him, brown eyes says with a smile on his face.

"Yeah, just go on, practice it," Niall says in an encouraging tone.

I roll my eyes at their antics as I once again clear my throat.

~~

"...I love you Hazza, to the moon and back."

I turn around hearing a chorus of 'aww's' behind me as Zayn, Liam and Niall swoon over my speech.

"Is it good boys?"

"Are you kidding? I'd marry you if you said that to me," Niall replies, a grin plastered on his face, perfectly mirroring the one on mine.

"Ow what'd you do that for!" Niall shrieks while rubbing his head as Liam hits him on his head.

"You're already married you idiot!" Liam says, rolling his eyes at Niall's antics.

Letting out a chuckle watching all of them, I said, "Come on boys, it's time for my wedding. Hurry up now!" shooing them out of the bathroom as I stayed behind, taking a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves.

I'm getting married.

"Come on Louis, come on now, quick love," the boys come back in, escorting me by my hand outside.

~~~

I stood at the altar in my black suit, absorbed in my anxiety, when I watched Harry enter.

He looked like the most stunning man in the entire world, dressed up in his white wedding dress, and beautiful painted nails.

I'd sworn I won't cry, but seeing him walking down the aisle, looking so gorgeous, his bright smile lighting up the world, I couldn't help it. Tears escaped my eyes as I adored my soon-to-be-husband.

Harry broke into an even wider grin, if that was even possible, and walked up to me, looking like the sweetest creature ever.

As I got hypnotized by his beauty, I didn't even notice when time passed and it was time for our vows.

"Hazza, since the day I first met you on that X-factor show, you in your cute beanie, I knew you were someone special. But I could have never even imagined getting the privilege of calling you mine. We're been through so much, but you have always stood by me like my rock, and I promise to do the same for you till my last breath. From painting only two of your nails to releasing your own beauty line, from not feeling the best to shouting you feel fabulous in front of a thousand people, you have come a long way, and I could not be more proud of you. You're my best friend, my soulmate, and if you allow me to, I'll spend the rest of my life trying to make you the happiest man alive. I love you hazza, to the moon and back."

"Lou, from hugging you on the stage to singing songs to you, we've come a long way, and I'd be lying if I said that these past years weren't the best years of my life. You have always supported me and it is because of you that I am standing here today, looking at your beautiful face. Without you, I'd be nothing. You make me happier than I ever thought was possible, and you gave me the opportunity to fall in love with my best friend, something I never thouhgt I'd be lucky enough for. I'm ready to give up anything if it means I'll get to spend the rest of my life with you. You're someone I look up to, someone who's always been there for me no matter what, someone so precious to me that I want to give you the world, because you deserve it. I've loved you since I was 16 Lou."

With tears in my eyes and a smile full of love on my face, I watched as Harry completed his speech, and without waiting for the priest to announce us husbands, bent down and kissed me so beautifully, as his lips moulded perfectly around mine, the taste of salt and vinegar mixed with a tinge of strawberry flooding on my lips, as I returned the kiss with equal passion and love.

As he broke apart the kiss, Harry rested his forehead on mine, and whispered in the most angelic voice, "I love you Lou"

"I love you too Hazza"
