The wedding
"Tomorrow is the day. Tomorrow, we are getting married." I squealed, making Jim laugh and nod as he looked into the camera.
"Yes. June 10th is the date of our wedding, and it's June 9th. It's all very exciting." He chuckled, looking at me.
"Our wedding is going to be in a small but beautiful church near Niagara Falls, and then we'll be going to see the waterfalls and having another small ceremony on the boat at the waterfalls, minus Cece." I sighed.
"Yeah, turns out Cece is going through a newborn phase of hating water, she cries whenever she has a bath, so we had to change the plans slightly, which is fine because she'll be there for the main wedding." Jim spoke, holding my hand. I sighed.
"I haven't been apart from Cece since she was born. So, I don't want to leave her, even for a bit tomorrow, but I'm gonna have to." I sighed.
"Yes, but she'll be okay since we're leaving her with my dad, who unfortunately also can't come to the waterfalls due to his bad heart. Anyway, everyone is leaving work at twelve, to get to Niagara Falls for five. It'll be great." Jim smiled, looking at me. I returned it and nodded.
"Okay, everyone, we are leaving for Niagara Falls in one hour, so I hope everything is packed, Y/N, I hope you've packed some skimpy lingerie for Jim tomorrow night." Michael laughed, making our eyes widen as he nudged Jim's shoulder.
"You're welcome, buddy." He chuckled.
"No, no, I'm not going to back you up on that." He shook his head.
"Y/N, I can't wait to walk you down the aisle." Michael smiled, shaking his head. My eyes widened again and I looked at Jim.
"Um, no, my dad is doing that." I spoke slowly. Michael's smile dipped.
"Um...why is he doing that when I should be?" he asked. I looked at Jim, making him roll his eyes and chuckle.
"Because brides are walked down the aisle by their fathers, and so he naturally got the job." I nodded, chuckling nervously.
"But I'm your boss." Michael spoke.
"But he's my dad..." I replied. Michael sighed and shook his head as he started to wander back into his office.
"Unbelievable. Well, let's hope he drops dead within the next 24 hours." He mumbled before shutting the door. My eyes widened and I looked at Jim.
"You made the right decision to have your dad walk you down the aisle." He chuckled.
"I think I did too." I nodded, making him laugh.
"I won't lie, one of the reasons why we wanted our wedding at Niagara Falls was so that not many of our co-workers could come, you know, since it's a five-hour drive from Scranton." Jim smiled sheepishly.
"I mean, we also booked it because Niagara Falls is stunning but the main reason was to get away from everyone." I nodded, Jim returning it.
"However, Michael said that whoever came could have Friday and Monday off, and whoever didn't come had to work...so people had to choose between having a four-day weekend in Niagara Falls...or having a normal weekend in Scranton." Jim sighed.
"Guess which option everyone picked." I spoke, looking at Jim.
Jim and I walked into the hotel, hands joined as we walked to the front desk.
"Hey, we're here to check in." Jim spoke.
"What's the name?" the receptionist asked.
"We have two separate rooms tonight under Halpert and Y/L/N, and then we have the honeymoon suite tomorrow night." Jim smiled, putting his hand on my lower back.
"Okay, great, we have your booking here, two seconds." The receptionist smiled.
"Hey, guys!" Andy yelled as he passed us.
"Hi Andy." Jim smiled.
"I just booked the honeymoon suite for tonight. I'll break the bed in for you." He smirked before walking away. My eyes widened, as did Jim's as we looked at each other.
"I don't like that." Jim shook his head. I returned it as I looked at the receptionist.
"I'm gonna need the name and cellphone number of the person who cleans your sheets." I nodded.
"Hey, it's mommy and daddy!" we turned around and smiled as my mom walked towards us, Cece in her arms.
"Hey mom." I smiled as Jim took Cece from her.
"You guys excited?" she asked.
"So excited." Jim smiled as he looked at Cece.
"Here are your room keys, have a good stay." The receptionist spoke as she put the keys on the counter.
"Thank you." I replied, taking the key and giving Jim the other one.
"So, this is it until the meal, and then until tomorrow." I spoke, looking at him. He nodded and smiled.
"I'll see you later." He spoke before gently pecking my lips.
"Say bye, bye to mommy." He smiled at Cece, making her squeal.
"I love you too, sweetie. I'll see you later." I smiled, gently pecking her cheek.
"See you later." Jim chuckled before grabbing his suitcase and carrying Cece away.
I walked into the hotel's restaurant and smiled as everyone was at the tables, chatting. Jim spotted me and smiled as he stood up.
"Hello Miss Y/L/N." he smiled as he leant down and kissed me.
"Not for much longer." I replied, making him chuckle as we sat down.
"Cece go down easily?" I asked.
"Yeah, gave her a bottle then put her to bed." He nodded.
"Good, I'm glad." I smiled as I took a sip of my champagne.
"Alright, can I have everyone's attention, I want to say a little something." Michael smiled as he stood up.
"Actually, Michael, I'm gonna start the speeches off if that's okay." Jim nodded, resting a reassuring hand on my back as he stood up.
"Course yeah, go on." Michael laughed awkwardly, slowly sitting down again.
"Okay, so I just wanna start off by thanking everyone for being here. Y/N and I are both so grateful that everyone can be here." Jim smiled, looking down at me and making me nod.
"So, here we are. It feels like it took Y/N and I forever to get to this point. Because four years ago, I was just a guy who had a crush on the new girl in the office. And I did the hardest thing that I've ever had to do, which was just to wait for her. For a really long time, that's all I had. I just had little moments with a girl who I thought saw me as a friend. Turns out she liked me back the whole time but I want a certain story for this speech so I'm leaving that out." He chuckled, making me and everyone else laugh.
"A lot of people told me I was crazy to wait this long for a date with a girl who I worked with, but I think even then, I knew that I was waiting for my wife." Jim smiled, his eyes on me. Tears pricked my eyes as I smiled back at him and everyone awed.
"So, here's to waiting. Because if I hadn't have waited, I wouldn't have my beautiful daughter, Cecelia, and I wouldn't be about to marry this beautiful woman sitting next to me, and the love of my life, Y/N. So, here's to waiting." Jim spoke, holding up his glass.
"To waiting." Everyone spoke as they also raised their glasses. I stood up and gently cupped Jim's face before kissing him, making everyone awe as Jim kissed me back.
"To waiting." I smiled against his lips, making his smile widen as he broke the kiss and hugged me tightly.
Jim opened the hotel door and smiled at the camera as he gently bopped Cece up and down.
"So, today is the big day. Today, YN and I are getting married." He smiled, unable to stop it from widening as he looked at Cece.
"Now usually when kids are involved in a wedding, whether the kid is a boy or a girl determines which parent they go with, but my dad will have Cece during the wedding so Cece spent the night with me, which was fun since she's been up since two, and then I'll pass her onto my dad once we start." He nodded, smiling at Cece as she squealed.
"She's excited too. Mommy and daddy are getting married today, Cece." He smiled at her.
Y/N's P.O.V
I stood in my hotel room, looking at myself in the full-length mirror. Tears pricked my eyes at the sight of my wedding dress against my skin and my wedding veil around my curled hair.
"Did it zip up okay?" I heard my best friend yell from the next room along.
"Why wouldn't it?" I yelled back.
"I didn't know if it'd zip over the baby weight bump!" she shouted back, making my eyes widen.
"Thank you, weirdo." I laughed as I opened the door and walked out. Pam, my mom and my best friend all looked at me.
"Aw, Y/N, you look amazing." Pam squealed.
"Thank you, Pam." I smiled.
"And you can't even tell you've just had a baby." My best friend smiled.
"Once again, thank you, weirdo." I laughed, smoothing my dress out against my stomach.
"You sure you want to do this? You sure Jim is right for you, honey?" my mom asked. My eyes widened.
"I'm sure, why wouldn't he be?" I scoffed.
"No, nothing, it's just, I thought your dad and I were soulmates when we got married." She shrugged. I sighed and nodded.
"No offence mom, but when Cece says that her parents are soulmates, she'll be right. Jim and I are soulmates." I nodded, tears pricking my eyes. She sighed and nodded, giving me a reassuring smile and a gentle squeeze on my arm.
"Y/N, I'll see you out there, I'm gonna go talk to Dwight." My best friend smirked.
"Okay." I nodded as she left. My eyes widened.
"Wait, what?" I asked as I followed her out. Suddenly I was pulled back and I gasped as my veil got caught on a piece of wood detached from the wall.
"Oh, no." I choked, holding my now ripped veil in between my fingers.
Jim's P.O.V
Jim smiled as he kicked the ball back and forth to his nephew.
"Jim." He turned around and smiled as Y/N's mom rushed towards him.
"Hey, how's Y/N doing?" he asked.
"She needs to talk to you." Her mom nodded. Jim's smile dropped.
"Is everything okay?" he gulped.
"She just needs to talk to you." She nodded. He returned it, his eyes filled with concern as he rushed towards where Y/N was.
Y/N's P.O.V
I sniffed as I sat on the box, my now ripped wedding veil falling around my face.
"Wow." I looked up and gave Jim a small smile as he walked in. He looked at me, his mouth slightly open.
"Y/N, you look...wow." He chuckled, shaking his head as he walked in.
"My veil ripped." I choked. He looked at me as he sat down on the box opposite me.
"So? You still look unbelievably beautiful." He chuckled, shaking his head. I choked and looked at him.
"I wanted everything to be perfect. But we're parents before we're married, there are way too many people here, my veil ripped, my parents aren't talking, it's just...it's not perfect." I cried, looking down. Jim sighed.
"No, it's not. But that's okay, because neither are we." He shook his head. I gulped and looked back at him.
"It's far from perfect. And that makes it perfect. We didn't plan to become parents before getting married, yet we did, and our beautiful daughter is out there waiting to see her mommy and daddy get married. Yes, there are lots of people here but they're here to witness us becoming one because they love us. Your parents may not be talking, but they both love you so much and they want to be there for you. And your veil tearing? I understand why you're upset but you still look incredible, and I have never felt so sure of anything in my life than how I feel right now, and that is that I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you." He nodded, looking into my eyes. I gave him a small smile as tears rolled down my cheek.
"So, are you ready to become Mrs Halpert?" he smiled. I returned it and laughed as I nodded.
"I've been ready for a long time." I spoke. Jim's smile widened and he nodded as he gently took my chin between his fingers and kissed me. I returned it as I held his face.
"Come on. Let's go get married." I smiled. Jim returned it, standing up and taking my hand before leading me out of the room.
The church doors opened and I smiled as the music started to play and everyone stood up. I looked up the aisle and smiled as Jim stood there, hands together as tears pricked his eyes. I started to walk, smiling as everyone as they stared at me. But my focus was on Jim. Tears pricked my eyes and I bit my lip as we just stared at each other. Jim smiled as a tear rolled down his cheek, making my smile widen as I got closer to him.
"You look beautiful, Y/N." Phyllis whispered as I passed her. I smiled at her and squeezed her hand quickly as I passed. I reached the altar and kissed my dad's cheek, handing him the flowers before turning to face Jim.
"You ready to get married?" he smiled.
"I've been ready since the day I met you." I returned. His smile widened and another tear left his eye as we turned to face the vicar.
"Do you, James Duncan Halpert, take Y/N Y/M/N Y/L/N, to be your lawfully wedded wife?" the priest asked.
"I do." Jim smiled at me, making me return it as a tear rolled down my cheek and Jim gently put the wedding ring on my finger.
"And do you, Y/N Y/M/N Y/L/N, take James Duncan Halpert, to be your lawfully wedded husband?" he asked.
"I do." I nodded, Jim smiling as I put the wedding ring onto his finger.
"Jim, you may kiss your bride." The priest smiled. Jim returned it, everyone cheering as he gently took my face and kissed me. I returned it eagerly, smiling into it as he curled his arms around my waist and my arms hung over his shoulders.
"Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you for the first time as a married couple, Mr and Mrs Jim Halpert!" Michael yelled as he stood up, making everyone cheer. Jim took my hand, making me smile as we started to walk back down the aisle.
Jim smiled at me and took my hand as we walked down the pier and towards the boat that was going to take us to Niagara Falls.
"You excited?" Jim smiled at me as we got on and the boat started to move.
"Of course I am. Look at this place. It's beautiful." I sighed in bliss.
"You ready to get married again?" he chuckled.
"Let's do it." I smiled. Jim returned it before knocking on the window of the boat's steering room, making the captain come out.
"You two the happy couple?" the captain smiled as we went to the front of the boat.
"We are." Jim nodded, his smile not faltering as we faced each other.
"I believe you two wrote your own vows for this." The captain spoke.
"We did." I nodded.
"Okay. Mr Halpert, you first." The captain spoke. Jim smiled as he looked at me.
"Everything that I can ever think to say to you, I've already said. You know you're the love of my life. You know I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you. But I'm gonna tell you again anyway." He joked, making me laugh.
"You really are the one, Y/N. And I know that I'll be happy for the rest of my life because I'll be spending every moment with you. And I can't wait." He smiled, shaking his head as a tear left his eye. I returned his smile as a tear left my own eye.
"Mr Halpert, you may put the ring on your wife's finger." The captain nodded. Jim nodded as he gently put the ring back onto my finger.
"Mrs Halpert, your turn." The captain spoke. I looked at Jim.
"It feels like just yesterday when I arrived at Dunder Mifflin and instantly fell in love with the tall, goofy, funny, sweet salesman that sat at the desk next to me." I started, making Jim laugh.
"It feels like just yesterday when we found out I was pregnant, and I was terrified, until I was reminded that I'd be raising our incredible daughter with you, and then I'd never be alone again. It feels like just yesterday when you got down on one knee in the rain and asked me to marry you. And soon it'll feel like yesterday when we were here, getting married. But I wouldn't go back to any of those moments, because otherwise I'd be missing out on the amazing moments that I know we'll have. I can't wait to share every one of those amazing moments with you, Jim Halpert." I smiled, tears leaving my eyes. Jim returned my smile, tears also rolling down his cheeks.
"Mrs Halpert, you may put the ring onto your husband's finger." The captain nodded, making me put Jim's ring back onto his finger.
"It's my honour to pronounce you Mr and Mrs Halpert." The captain smiled, making everyone cheer as Jim took my face and pressed our lips together. I smiled into it as I held his face too. Jim broke the kiss and touched our foreheads.
"I love you. So much." He smiled.
"I love you too, Jim Halpert." I nodded. He smiled and returned it before kissing me again.
