"I don't know why Han's making me do this – she knows how bad I was at presentations in high school," you said into the microphone you were holding, making the wedding guests laugh, "Guess it comes with being maid of honor." Hannah raised her glass a bit, finally convincing you to relax as you gave the rest of your speech. "The day I met Chase, I didn't like him," you informed everyone, making Hannah and her now husband laugh, "There was nothing about him that said 'I promise I will never hurt your best friend and I promise I will always love her with everything I have' even though he could never love her as much as I do." Hannah laughed softly again, wiping the tear off her cheek. "But the first time Hannah forced me into a double date with the two of them only after my own boyfriend threw me over his shoulder and carried me out of our house," you went on, "I knew he was perfect for her." You felt yourself getting choked up, which only made your best friend cry even more, as you looked at the groom. "The way you looked at her when she was obnoxiously celebrating her first and only hole-in-one at the mini golf course that night, I knew that everything I thought about you before then was wrong. You, Chase, are the only man that has ever made my Hannah feel whole and despite all the plans that were cancelled because she would rather hang out with you than the girl who spent hours consoling her at 2am after every failed relationship before yours-" You rolled your eyes, making Hannah roll her own as Chase laughed again. "-I know I could never give her everything she deserves in life," you shook your head, "I couldn't give her everything the way I know you will. You two are my best friends and I'm so thankful you found each other." Chase immediately stood up, walking up to you and hugging you tightly while the rest of the guests smiled on – even Hannah's mother was tearing up.

"Love you, loser," he murmured into your shoulder.

"Love you, nerd," you smiled, and you both squeezed each other before letting go so you could hug Hannah before the best man gave his speech.

Half an hour later, Hannah and Chase were ushered to the dance floor for their first dance. You watched with a small smile on your face – you remembered spending at least three hours with her trying to pick what song she wanted – and felt arms wrap around your waist, your back colliding with someone's chest.

"That's gonna be us someday," your boyfriend said softly, kissing your neck.

You hummed lightly, "I think you're going to have to ask me to marry you first." You turned your head to kiss Cody's cheek, but he quickly turned his own so your lips landed on his. You smiled into the kiss, completely expecting him to do it.

"Only if you promise to say yes."

"I will," you smiled slyly, "If you're lucky." Cody immediately started tickling you, hard enough to make you giggle and lean against him but not enough to take attention away from the bride and groom – until their dance was over, of course.

Four hours later

When you and Cody got home later that night, you were both beyond tired. Cody was practically falling asleep on you as you unlocked the front door, but he stopped you just before you could lead him inside. He took your hand and pulled you back to him, then let go and slid his arm around your waist while the other went behind your knees, lifting you off of the ground.

"Cody!" you squeaked, not expecting him to pick you up.

"Gotta practice," he smiled sleepily, "I'll be doing this after our wedding, you know."

"Still haven't changed your mind about that?" you teased as he stepped into the house and kicked the door shut behind him.

"Nope," he said, setting you back down, "I'll never change my mind about wanting to marry you." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a ring, making your heart skip a beat. Cody smiled again at your reaction, your eyes flicking between his and the ring between his thumb and index finger. "I didn't want to ask earlier because it would be inconsiderate to take Hannah and Chase's spotlight," he explained, "And I've been trying to come up with the perfect proposal – and maybe I'll do this again later – but I don't want to wait anymore. I want to be able to call you my fiancée when people ask about you and I want people to know how much I love you just by looking at this ring." He took your hands in his and got down on one knee, not even letting you wipe the tears off of your cheeks. "So, princess," he grinned up at you, "Will you marry me?"

You didn't give him the chance to think that you were going to say no – you just instantly took your hands out of his, grabbed his face, and kissed him roughly. You felt him smile against your lips, his hands landing on your hips.

"Yes," you whispered the second your lips were off of his, "Yes, yes, yes." Cody pecked your lips before taking your hand and sliding the ring down your finger. You didn't even take a second to admire it before you were pulling him back to his feet, kissing him again.

You suddenly pushed Cody away, making him frown and furrow his eyebrows. But he didn't get the chance to say anything.

"I have to go call Hannah!" you exclaimed, making your fiancé smile fondly as you ran to another room.
