《Destiny Rewritten》Chapter 100

The next few days went by quickly as the last of the wedding plans were finalized and the remainder of the guests arrived. In fact, in what felt like no time at all, the big day had arrived.

In order to keep with tradition and avoid adding causing any bad luck today, since if there was one thing Oliver and Laurel had both come to believe in, it was superstition, Laurel had stayed at their penthouse the night before the wedding while Oliver had crashed at the mansion and they had not seen or spoken to each other since they'd parted ways after their rehearsal dinner at the mansion the night before.

Anyways, Oliver was currently at the church they'd chosen to get married in and he'd actually been there since 6 am, since he'd been so nervous for today that he couldn't sleep, so he'd tried going for a run to try and clear his head and when that hadn't worked, he'd left a note for his parents to make sure they knew he was getting cold feet before heading to the church early to get ready.

"Man, I did not think you could even get nervous." Barry said as he sped into the room, and as of right now, they were the only ones there.

"Well surprise Barry, I do know how to get nervous and considering how nervous you were when you did this, can you blame me?" Oliver asked and Barry chuckled.

"Not at all, but Oliver you calmed me down when I was freaking out." Barry said.

"Sorry, it's just, what guy doesn't get nervous on his wedding day?" Oliver asked.

"I have yet to meet one who does." Barry said.

"I just hope that this wedding goes smoother than yours did." Oliver said.

"Yeah, I'm still trying to forget that." Barry said.

"Anyways Barry, thank you for coming here early." Oliver said.

"I had to make sure you didn't try to skip out on your fiance." Barry said.

"Very funny." Oliver said.

"But seriously man, did you even write your vows or are you going to give the same ones you gave last time." Barry asked.

"No, those vows were for Felicity and I wouldn't feel right using the same words on Laurel. But I am gonna take some advice I gave you. I'm just gonna speak honestly from my heart." Oliver said.

"Good idea. Otherwise we'd be waiting for hours just for you to get through the first page of your vows." Barry said.

"You're not wrong." Oliver agreed as the two shared a chuckle as they noticed more people starting to arrive.

Oliver wasn't the only one freaking out over the wedding. On the other side of the church in the bride's room, Laurel was in a similar state as Sara attempted to calm her down.

"Laurel relax. I've got Dig sending me updates every 5 minutes to confirm that Oliver is still here." Sara said.

"I'm sorry, it's just wedding day jitters. Sara, you know I've been looking forward to this day since, well since high school and now that it's finally here, I just want everything to go smoothly." Laurel said.

"And they will. Just relax and focus on being the happy bride." Sara said.

"Think you'll ever have to take that advice yourself?" Laurel asked.

"Maybe someday. While yes, Alex and I are getting serious, I'm not sure we're there yet. But someday, hopefully yes." Sara said and Laurel smiled as she finally began to calm down.

Oliver and Laurel had asked Martin Stein to perform their wedding and now all the guests were taking their seats in the church. On Oliver's side of the aisle sat his mother, Walter, Cisco, Caitlin, Ronnie, Felicity (boy did Oliver have to keep his surprise in check when he saw her at the rehearsal dinner the previous night), Lyla, Winn, Clarissa, Iris, James, Clark, Lois, J'onn and some of Oliver's other old friends.

On Laurel's side of the aisle sat her mother, Alex, Joanna, some of her old friends from CNRI, Rene, Kate Spencer, Adam Donner, much to Oliver's displeasure, since he remembered how that creep had nearly gotten Laurel killed before, Emily Pollard, Councilman Kullens and several other city officials.

There were some other people Oliver had wanted to invite, but he couldn't without raising questions about where he'd been the five years he was away or that he couldn't because he hadn't even become friends with them yet in this new reality).

Anyways, now Oliver was standing at the altar next to Stein as the wedding march was played and the ceremony began. First were Barry and Kara, who Laurel had asked to serve as a second bridesmaid, came down the aisle. After they'd taken their places, Roy and Thea came down next. After them came the best man and maid of honor, the roles of which being filled by Dig and Sara. Finally, once everyone else had taken their positions, all of the guests stood as and turned towards the far side of aisle as at long last, the bride came walking down the aisle, hand in hand with her father, who while he was healing, was currently in a wheelchair.

Anyways, Oliver walked down to the bottom of the altar to meet them as he took Laurel's hand from her father.

"Take good care of her son." Quentin said.

"You know I will." Oliver assured him as he led Laurel up to the top of the altar and lifted her veil while Quentin took a seat in the front row of his daughter's side of the aisle as Professor Stein began the ceremony.

"Dearly beloved. We are gathered here today to bear witness as Oliver Jonas Queen and Dinah Laurel Lance become joined in holy matrimony. I know there are several people in this room alone who questioned if this day would come, to our joy, it has. Now, and I only ask this because I am required to, if there is anyone here who sees a reason as to why these two should not be wed, speak now or forever hold your peace." Stein said and wisely, no one spoke up, though, Oliver, Barry, Kara and Cisco were all half expecting Nazis to storm in, but thankfully, none did.

"Oliver, will you now please recite your vows to Dinah." Stein said and Oliver nodded as he took a deep breath and began to speak from his heart.

"Laurel, you have always been the best part of me. For five years, I went through experiences that could only be described as hell and there were so many times I wanted to just give up and let myself die. But every time I felt like that, I always found myself looking in my wallet. Not for money or anything like that, but simply to look at the one thing I always made sure I held close to me. Your picture. You helped give me the strength I needed to survive and come home. And while those years were the worst ones of my life, I don't regret them. It's thanks to them that I was able to finally become the man you deserve. The man you always seemed to see me as. And I promise that I will be the best husband to you that I can and I will never stray from you again. You're my whole world and I wish I could say I couldn't imagine my life without you, because I have lived without you in my life and it was miserable. That's how I know that I never want to be without you again." Oliver said and Laurel actually had a few tears in her eyes at that.

"Now, Dinah, will you please recite your vows to Oliver." Martin said and Laurel nodded.

"Oliver, I'm pretty sure that you've caused me to feel every emotion there is regards to you. Happiness, sadness, grief, anger, a lot of anger, but the one emotion I always find myself coming back to with you is love. There have been times, even after we got back together that I wondered why I couldn't seem to stop loving you. You did so many things that I swore I could never forgive you for, and yet here I am, standing at the altar, about to marry you and now I finally realize why. Love is complicated. There are times when it doesn't make sense and those are times when you shouldn't try to make sense of it. I was once told that love is the most powerful emotion in the world and standing here today with you, right now, I finally understand why. You have always been the one true love of my life and no matter how hard I tried to convince myself otherwise, that's always been true in the past and always will be true in the future. And while I don't know what our future will hold, what I do know is that as long we do it together, it will be a very bright one. I promise to always to be a kind, loving and supportive wife to you." Laurel said and Oliver smiled.

"Please present the rings." Martin said as John and Sara both did.

"Do you Oliver Jonas Queen, take Dinah Laurel Lance to be your lawfully wedded wife?" Martin asked.

"I do." Oliver said as he took Laurel's ring from John and slid it on her right ring finger.

"And do you, Dinah Laurel Lance, take Oliver Jonas Queen to be your lawfully wedded husband?" Martin asked.

"I do." Laurel said as she took Oliver's ring from Sara and slid it on his right ring finger.

"Then, by the power vested in me, I hereby pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." Martin said and Oliver and Laurel smiled as they shared their first kiss together as husband and wife while everyone clapped.
