Sadie smiled, wiping the single tear that fell down her cheek away with her hand as she watched her mom walk down the isle.
She was really truly happy for her.
And when she saw the genuine smile on her face, a smile that she didn't see all that much growing up with her, she knew that this man that stood at the end of the isle was going to be her future dad.
And she was happy about it.
"Um, dearly beloved, we are... joined today. To celebrate the gathering of... the marriage between, Sadie's mom and... Bernie?"
"David." he mumbled, mentally face palming at how absolutely awful he was doing.
"David, yeah! Like from schitt's creek. Fold in the cheese, David!" Noah remarked, holding up his glass of wahoo punch, but he slowly unraised his hand when he saw the looks on their faces.
"No? Okay, um- Well, do you, Sadie's mom- I mean Lori, take David to be your... legally something husband? Through, uh, deathly illnesses... and regular illnesses, and healthy days?"
"I do." she muttered lowly, unable to express how badly this was going.
"Great, um, same to you. David, do you take Lori to be your wife through blah blah blah, please say yes so this can be over."
"I do."
"Nice. You may, um, play tonsil hockey now."
"Gross," Millie mumbled from the audience, looking over to Sadie who was dramatically gagging at his choice of words.
"Oh, wait! Aren't you supposed to do, like, vows or some sh- stuff?" Noah questioned, looking over to the two as they were quick to shake their heads.
"Nope, this can be over."
"Wait! The rings!" he exclaimed, watching as a flustered Millie awkwardly got up from the audience with the cushion the rings were on.
"Alright, put them on."
Millie looked to Noah, "I don't put them on!" she whisper yelled, instantly causing him to raise his arms. "You're the ring bearer!"
"The ring bearers don't put them on, stupid head!"
He rolled his eyes, going to grab the rings to put them on himself since Millie wasn't cooperating, although that was a quite difficult task since she slapped his hand away. "You're not supposed to put them on either!" she whispered.
"Oh my god, then who is!?"
She cleared her throat, noticing that their attempt at quiet bickering had accidentally caused quite the scene before she extended her arm and held the rings out in between the two. "The rings."
Millie stepped back once the two of them took the rings, watching as they both put them on.
"Were we supposed to do this before they kissed and stuff?" Noah whispered as he leaned towards his stressed out friend.
"Probably."
-
Don't you dare look back, just keep your eyes on me. I said you're holding back, she said shut up and dance with me.
The music played throughout the open, disco themed room as people danced their hearts out.
Finn was walking around in the crowded room, trying his best to find Millie since he had lost her a bit ago with all of the people dancing.
He saw her for the first time during the ceremony when she held out the rings.
He was sitting pretty far back so he couldn't really make out much of her features, but it was her. He knows it was.
Noah was also running around the entire room, Sophia following close behind him since she had found out how absolutely untrustworthy he is, and was trying to catch him so he couldn't find Millie.
They were causing quite the scene, bumping into loads of people and splashing countless drinks, but it was important to the both of them to achieve their goals here.
Noah's being to find Millie, and Sophia's being to keep him as far away from Millie as psychically possible.
He would've told her way earlier, but she had left the outside area immediately to go help with the lights and sounds for the dance party they were having.
Millie and Sadie were completely minding their own business and jumping around together on the dance floor, their girlish laughs audible to only each other as they enjoyed the music that was being played.
The music wasn't too loud, so it was quiet enough to not mask the sound of Noah stepping on a table cloth from running too fast and somehow knocking the personalized cake topper statue of David and Lori right off the table and onto the hard ground.
Everybody immediately turned their heads at the sound, looking over to Noah who had a horrified look on his face. Along with Sophia, who immediately loosened her once firm grip on the back of his shirt before slowly walking away from the scene in attempt to not take any of the blame.
He cleared his throat, straightening his jacket slightly as he avoided looking down at the shattered cake ornament on the ground. "I'm, um, I'm sure Sophia is really sorry."
"Speaking of Sophia actually, I've got a piece of information that some people here might-"
"Shut up, Noah!" Sadie grumbled, causing him to awkwardly look down. "Right, sorry."
Millie walked passed Sadie, going closer to Noah and getting a better look of the shattered item on the floor. "It's, um, It's going to be okay. We can just... glue it back together and-"
"There's no saving that." Noah winced when Millie punched him in the arm, causing him to finally get the hint to shut up and not say anything for a bit.
"Okay, um, Noah and I will just... go get some stuff to clean up." the brown eyed girl mumbled, gesturing her friend to the door and leading them outside.
They shyly walked out of the studio building, attempting to brush off the stares they were intensly getting. "What the hell was that!?"
"I'm sorry, Millie. I just had to-"
"I just don't understand! All we asked of you is to act civil for at least one night and you're running around like a little child and knocking things off tables!?" She put her hands on her temples.
"Mill-"
"Today was a really important day to Sadie. You can't hold off your immaturity for one day just so you can-"
"Millie! Listen to me, for the love of god!" he cut her off in frustration, causing her to cross her arms since she was honestly curious to hear what kind of excuse he was going to give her to this time.
"I'm listening, but if it's some lame excuse I'm-"
"Sophia went online and pretended to be you to this random guy named Finn but he also happened to be Sadie's old childhood friend and so she invited him to the wedding and that's why she freaked out and said something about beef cakes earlier because he was in the hotel and she didn't want you to find out so she-"
"Slow. down." She cut him off sternly, staring at him as he tried to catch his breath from all the words he just blurted out.
"I'm sorry. I wanted to tell you but she told me not to and you and Sadie weren't listening and I didn't know what to do."
"Seriously? That- that was what you came up with?" she questioned bitterly, shaking her head at how shallow she thinks he is for ruining the day they worked so hard on and coming up with an excuse like that.
"You don't believe me?"
"I mean, how could I?" she sarcastically laughed "You do this all the time."
He furrowed his eyebrows slightly in offensive, his lips parting as he watched her. "This is just what you do. You hardly ever show up, and when you do you're usually late and then you just sit back and watch as everyone does all the work. And now look at what you're doing. You're caught up in your own life and your own problems on the one really important day to our best friend?"
"So let me get one thing straight, I've known you almost my entire life, yet the one time I'm telling you about Sophia who you've only known for a few months you believe her over me? That's not fair, Millie."
"What isn't fair is that Sadie and I are the only people who actually put work into this friendship." She snapped, his heart sinking at the things she was saying that she had to have been thinking a long time before this.
He shrugged. "Well, if you really think those things about me then I honestly don't even know why you're still friends with me."
"Right back at you." Millie replied, watching as he slowly nodded before taking his time to turn around and start to walk off.
She took a deep breath, trying her hardest to contain herself before she wiped away the single tear that had fallen down her face so it was no longer visible.
God, this day couldn't get any fucking worse. And it isn't even over yet.
She slowly walked back into the building, happy to see that people had mostly moved on from the giant shattering of a cake topper, and they were mostly back to casually swaying to the music.
Millie sighed, feeling a million different emotions at once.
She shook her head, refusing to let any of her sadness ruin the night that she needs to make perfect for her best friend.
She let the music fill her head contently, trying to drown out all of her other thoughts.
'Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars
She turned around on her feet, accidentally bumping into someone in the process.
I think I saw you
She looked up to them, meeting their chocolate colored eyes as she swore her heart skipped a beat at how truly beautiful they were.
And the both of them had two separate thoughts that were almost exactly the same in a way.
That is the hottest guy I have ever seen
She's even prettier in person
His gaze softened, getting lost in her sparkling brown eyes that were nearly the same color as his. All he could do in that moment was let a small smile fall upon his face as one word escaped through his lips that he has been dying to say out loud again.
"Millie?"
