Its been a week. Everything was planned out. Tonight was your rehearsal dinner. Frypan was cooking something delicious and you and Newt were talking to a lot of people, most of them you didn't even know. Some of them claimed to have worked with WICKED at some point. You would chuckle and say "Haven't we all at some point?" and they'd laugh with you and say things like "Congratulations on your marriage" and stuff like that. 

Everything was pretty much planned out. There's a group of middle aged woman who can sew that worked on the dresses and tuxes. You were wearing your ring to show off to the others. 

At dinnertime, you and Newt were sitting side by side while Frypan delivered the food to you. He served you marmalade chicken, mash potatoes, and corn. It was absolutely delicious. It was the best thing he ever made (besides his traditional bacon and eggs of course ;))

Right after you finished eating and chatting; Gally, Minho, and Thomas stood up and tapped their glasses. "TO THE BRIDE AND GROOM TO-BE!" they said in unison. Everyone in response raised their glasses and cheered. "And now, the nominees for marriers of Newt and Y/N." said Thomas. 

Jorge and Vince stood up, walked to the front, shook hands and stood side by side. "Each will perform a section of the speech of their choice. Jorge will go first, then Vince." said Gally.

Vince took a few steps back to let Jorge do his speech. 

Jorge took out a small black book and opened it. He started reading " Friends of Newt and Y/N and friends that are like family to Newt and Y/N– welcome to their wedding ceremony this evening at the Safe Haven.  In this place, we take ourselves out of the usual routines of daily living to witness a unique moment in the lives of Newt andY/N. Today they join their lives in the union of marriage.To all their guests, they are happy to share this moment with you. They have known most of you for several years, by memory or not by memory. And so it is that Newt and Y/N present themselves to be married today...surrounded by the people they love the most."

He closed his book and everyone applauded. As Jorge sat down, Vince stood up. There wasn't a book in his hand or anything. He started off by saying. "I'd like to do the love story part of the speech." he coughed as a warm up, then started. "As Newtand Y/N prepared for the ceremony part of this wedding celebration, they reflected on what it is that they love about each other. Which was easy for them! Newt, Y/N  sees in you a funny, kind, and sweetman. She loves that you think she is funny and that you always find a way to compliment her. She loves that you always want to be close. You remember details of the stories she tells.  Most importantly, you are so close that even when she is at her worst, you have never made her feel like you want anything but to be closer to her. Y/N, Newt loves that you always think about your relationship and put it first in your decisions and actions. He loves your brain, your smile, and your beauty. He likes that you can be really silly. He loves your kisses. He just really loves you! You both look to a shared future that includes raising a happy healthy family. That future also includes a richly lived life together. The years will come and go...you won't take each other for granted, you will laugh a lot, you will be the best parents you can be, you will grow older and wiser together. It's a good story,and the ending is not in sight! Thank you."

Everyone applauded. you heard both Jorge and Vince's speeches. They were both really good. But, you knew what you wanted. And so did Newt. But, did you both want the same thing?" 

Then, a thought struck your head like a bolt of lightning. "Wait!" you say. "Who's gonna give me away?..."

You realized that traditionally the father would give you away and your father was a horribly dead man. Everyone looked at you, then without thinking you jog off.

You go to the rock you would go in your dreams. Newt followed you instantly. 

After you were sitting for a few seconds, thinking long and hard, Newt came and sat next to you. He opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know what to say. Then you said "I can't walk down that aisle alone without being arm-and-arm with someone. I don't have a dad, not one who cared anyway to walk me down the aisle on the most important and best day of my life. I don't know if I could do it."
"We'll figure something out, love. We still have time-"
"The wedding is TOMORROW, Newt!"
"Yeah, and it wouldn't take much just to walk arm-and-arm with someone down an aisle."
"-But, it has to be someone I know and trust. Our court is full!"
"Not yet."

Newt was right about that, then you had an idea. "Well, we haven't figured out who's gonna marry us, yet. It'd be a win-win if you think about it. One gets to perform the ceremony and the other gets to walk me down the aisle! You're a genius!" you kissed Newt's cheek. "Yes, I know." Newt chuckled, "But, we need to figure out who's gonna be who first..."

You nodded you head and say. "on the count of three, we will both say who we thought performed the speech best, then if it's different we rock, paper, scissors it out, okay?"
"Ok." Newt said.

Then you count. "One...Two...Three!"
