Waking up a few hours later you feel refreshed, smiling as you lift yourself off of Max's chest to see him still sound asleep, both his arms wrapped around you like he's scared to let you go. You look over and see Cass and Daniel fast asleep in the sun, surprising not looking sun burnt at all.

Jealous. Too long in the sun and I turn into a lobster.

You start placing gentle kisses onto Max's chest working your way up to his cheeks and lips waking him up slowly. Max moans softly against your lips as you sit up to straddle him, his hands going to gently cup your ass.

"You think we have time?" Max asks and both of you look over at Cass and Daniel as still peacefully asleep.

"If we're fast and quiet." You say and Max chuckles.

"We are neither of those things princess."

"No you aren't," Cass says chucking the contents of the ice bucket that held the champagne onto the two of you. You and Max both scream at the cold sensation against your hot skin and jump up. "God, you two are like horny teenagers."

"Isn't that a good thing," you say pulling an ice cube sliver out of your bikini top.

"Not right now it's not!" Cass says putting the bucket down. "Just contain yourselves until we get back to land, then you can do whatever freaky shit you're into."

"Freaky shit? Who says we're into freaky shit?" Max says brushing the cold water off of his bare chest.

"Oh come on, no one's in the mafia without being into some freaky shit." Cass says chuckling. "Believe me."

"Care to elaborate?" Daniel says raising his eyebrow.

"Oh come on, knife play, bondage, a little pain and pleasure, don't tell me you've never..." Cass says looking at Daniel.

"No Cass, I think you've just been into some freaky guys." You say laughing not wanting to reveal anything about your sex life with Max.

"Mmmm that's a shame you're missing out." Cass says winking at you, and you to fight rolling your eyes at her since Max is right beside you. "Now come on, say goodbye lovebirds, we need to start getting ready."

You sigh looking over at Max.

"I'll be the one at the end of the aisle." Max says cupping your cheeks.

"I'll be the one in white." You say smiling leaning in and kissing him one last time as his fiancé.

"Yeah, yeah, let's go before you start making out again." Cass says dragging you by your hand back downstairs as you laugh.

....

What feels like an eternity later, you're finally ready. Looking at yourself in the mirror you start to fan your eyes as tears form in them.

"You look absolutely stunning Ari," Cass says tears in her eyes.

"Thank you, I just wish my mom was here to see this." You say as Cass hands you a napkin to dab your eyes dry with, not wanting to ruin your makeup.

"I know, but she's with you in spirit, I know she would love Max." Cass says rubbing your shoulders. "You know he went and visited her right? To ask her for permission."

"Really?" You say dabbing your eyes.

"Yeah, we went, and I mean not that she could say anything. But I know she was saying yes." Cass says and you look up at the ceiling taking a deep breath.

"Okay, let's do this." You say as Cass passes you a bouquet of flowers.
