"Quick, Monica, zip me up," Lucia sighed. "God, I'm nervous."

"You look beautiful," Monica smiled.

"Thank you," Lucia smiled. "So do you."

Monica giggled. "You look like a beautiful bride."

"Thanks," Lucia grinned. "I'm excited. After today, I'm going to be Mrs. Sean Wade."

"Well, Dear Mrs. Wade, don't forget about me," Monica chuckled.

"Never," Lucia smiled, embracing her friend. "The ceremony starts in a few minutes. Where's my father?"

"Crying."

"And more specifically?" Lucia chuckled.

"He's coming. I'll get him."

"No, no, I'll find him. Where's Sean? I don't want him to see me."

"No. I'll go get him. You stay here," Monica directed.

"Alright," Lucia nodded.

Monica smiled and left.

Lucia took a look in the mirror and moved a few stray hairs back into place. She felt beautiful. Like a princess.

About five minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in," Lucia called, adjusting her earrings.

Her father stepped in and smiled. "My beautiful Lucia."

"Daddy," Lucia smiled.

"If only your mother could see you."

"Yeah, I know," Lucia nodded. "She always liked Sean. I'm sure she'd be happy."

Leonardo hugged her and smiled. "Oh, you're a beautiful young lady. I'm glad Sean turned out to be your pen pal."

Lucia smiled a little. "Me too, Daddy. Me too."

Leonardo chuckled. "Are you ready?"

Lucia nodded and took his arm.

Leonardo smiled and they walked out

The music began playing and the two walked down the aisle after Paisley and Monica, Lucia smiling brightly at Sean.

Sean's smile was so bright that he was practically glowing, standing straight and tall.

Denny was smiling next to him and watched her come down the aisle.

The small group gathered watched her as well but Lucia only watched Sean. After handing her bouquet to Monica, she took Sean's hands in hers. "Hi," she whispered.

"You're beautiful," Sean whispered back.

Lucia smiled at him.

They turned their attention to the justice. The man began the ceremony and soon came the time where Sean was asked for his vows.

Sean repeated the vows and smiled proudly.

Lucia did the same, brushing away a few stray tears.

Sean smiled brighter, and finally, he leaned in, tenderly kissing his new wife.

"I love you so much," Lucia smiled. "You are the best thing to ever happen to me."

"I love you more," Sean smiled and took her hand.

"This food is wonderful," Paisley smiled. "Who'd you get to cater?"

"The Italian restaurant on Main," Lucia nodded. "And thanks again for being my bridesmaid."

Paisley smiled again. "Thanks for asking. It was really nice of you."

"It was my pleasure," Lucia smiled.

Paisley gave Lucia a huge hug. "You look so beautiful."

"Awe, thank you," Lucia laughed tearfully. "You're so sweet."

Paisley giggled and ate her dinner.

Lucia turned to Sean. "Gosh, I can't believe that we're finally married. I'm so happy."

"Me too." Sean kissed her again.

"I love you," Lucia grinned.

"I love you so much," Sean smiled. "After so long, I finally can call you mine."

"This has been the happiest day of my life."

"Same here," Sean smiled more before turning to talk to Denny and Jonah.

After they finished eating, Lucia grasped Sean's hand. "I believe it's time for our first dance."

Sean smiled. "Good. I want you nice and close."

Lucia got up and guided him to the dance floor as Jason Mraz's voice came over the speakers, singing, "When I look into your eyes, it's like watching the night sky..."

Sean hummed and pulled her close. "Hey, beautiful girl."

"Hey," Lucia said softly. "Thank you for making today perfect."

"What do you have me to thank me for? You arranged most of this."

"For being here and putting up with me."

"You're easy, Baby," Sean smiled.

"I love you. I feel like I haven't said that enough," Lucia sighed. "I have to make up for the four years we weren't together."

Sean pulled her in closer. "As long as you stay true to me, we'll have no problems."

"I'm perfectly alright with that," Lucia smiled, laying her head on his chest as they danced.
