That morning Zayn was sat in his suite getting the glam treatment for his big day. Each boy resided in separate hotels not far from the ceremony and reception space.

As his glam squad touched up his hair, Zayn stared down to the final draft of his vows that he'd been writing and editing for months. After he read it for the hundredth time he folded it and slipped it back into his coat pocket.

His team finished up with him first because he needed to go off with the wedding photographer and take individuals.

He stood from the chair and eyed himself in the mirror. As a model he was in glam most of the time, but seeing himself in his white wedding suit just struck a nerve. His eyes glossed over and immediately he turned away not wanting to ruin his soft makeup.

He headed into the living space of the suite where his party was. All were still in the middle processes of their hair, or makeup. His mother, Karen, Liam's sisters, and his two younger sisters were also in the massive suite getting ready.

"Hey Z when are we getting the shoes" Gigi asked from her makeup station, as her contour was being blended.

"The white Jimmy Choo's with the bow on the back? Oh my God mom we told them we'd be at this hotel right? Are they not here yet? What if he doesn't send the boys shoes?" Zayn started questioning frantically barely entering the space.

"Yes sweetie don't worry they're about to arrive. I had to get them adjusted with the straps for the heels but he sent everything together. Everything's taken care of Zaynie." His mother got up from getting her hair finished, walking over to him to calm him.

She was correct though. Everything was pretty much taken care of. Both of their parents paid for everything. They had their amazing planners. Yaser and Geoff covered the entire event, Karen booked their honeymoon trip, and Trisha with the wedding party expenses.

She got all of their garments custom made by one of her longtime designer friends who lived in Paris. She even provided the accessories for everyone like cuff links, watches, earrings, and shoes. The shoes she specifically asked her friend Jimmy Choo to custom make the shoes for the entire wedding party.

"Sorry mum. I don't know where that came from." He said calming down.

"It's your wedding day. Trust me it comes naturally." She smiled then walked back to the stylist as she mouthed a "sorry."

He inhaled then let go and walked to the glam stations the artist had set up. Kendall and Gigi sat mid full face. "I still cant believe you modeled your whole wedding after a segment from the 2014 Victoria Secret show." Kendall said as a nail artist filed her new set and her eyeshadow was applied by the makeup artist.

"It kind of just happened. We didn't really have a theme and I brought it up as inspiration. Plus I'm a model what did you expect. I was like 13 and the performance changed my life. That segment has me in a chokehold." Zayn shrugged lifting gigis hand looking at her set.

"I agree. I was so sad when I didn't book that year. I love Taylor. Also Style is all over my FYP can you believe it's been nine years." Gigi said frowning. She and Kendall were older than Zayn. They were 27 currently and at the time they were 19.

"Ugh same." Zayn and Kendall said in unison laughing. "Yeah that's wild. Now 2012, 13, and 14 are being fantasized about and I don't know how to feel about that." He said.

"Please tell me you're walking to that song." Gigi said.

"No. I thought about it but no. Also Niall said it wasn't appropriate. Plus she's a guest so." He said as his best friend came up to him.
