My cousins woke me up at 5am. Yup, you heard me, 5am. Why? 'Cause it was my aunt's wedding and it was gonna start at around 8, so we all had to wake up early to get ready. Of course, I was the last one to wake up 'cause I slept late last night as usual. And believe me, I'm pretty hard to wake up. I'm a deep sleeper, especially when I sleep late.
I went downstairs and most of my relatives were done eating, except my favorite grandma. She always waits at the table just so I can have some company while eating.
"Good morning, honey!" my mom greeted from the kitchen. "Morning. Where are the others?" I asked. "They're already at the salon. You better hurry up, sweetie. We don't wanna be late for the wedding!"
She was right, though. It takes about an hour just to get to the church.
As I finished my breakfast, took a quick shower, and wore my dress, I rushed to my dad's car so he can drive us to the salon. I love weddings, but dressing up and wearing make-up isn't really my thing. I'm not that kind of girly-girl you would expect. I'm just a common face, pretty average. I'm not like one of those girls you see in magazines. I'm quite short for my age and I live by wearing skinny jeans, tight shirts and a pair of kicks.
The hair and make-up artists were pretty much done with everyone, including me. I felt like Princess Mia in the Princess Diaries 'cause of the huge makeover they've done to me.
But one thing though, I still felt average. No difference, just another girl with make-up on.

Do I sound that insecure? Yeah, sorry about that.
I rode with my cousins on the way to the church. As we all entered the church, it was quite awkward 'cause I didn't know most of the people there. Glad my aunt let me invite a few of my friends but they still weren't there. Luckily one of my older cousins called me and introduced me to a few of his friends.
"Hey guys. This is my cousin Violet." "Violet, meet my good friends Harry, Niall, Zayn, Louis and Liam" he continued. A simple wave was all I could offer. These guys were damn good-looking. Harry, the dark-haired curly one, took my hand and kissed it.
"You look beautiful, Violet" he said and smiled. I blushed and the other guys teased Harry.
Harry's POV
7am and the guys woke me up in the car. "HARREEEEEHHHH!!!!" Niall shouted. I opened my eyes and Zayn's face was right in front of me. "VAS HAPPENIN?" he said. "We're already here?" I asked still a bit dizzy from the ride. Liam opened the car door and saw the church. It was one of the most beautiful churches I've seen. I had a random thought that maybe someday I'd want to get married in this church.
We greeted the groom, who was one of our producers. "Zo happeh for ya man!" Zayn greeted. "Be happy for me later, the wedding hasn't started yet!" he answered. We all had a few laughs until this van stopped in front of the church's pathway. 4 girls came down, but this one girl caught my eye. She was simple, yet so beautiful.
"Earth to Harry, are you there? HARRY? HARRY!!!" Louis shouted. "Sorry, I was just... Nothing. Never mind."
Our friend Conor, who was the bride's nephew, approached us with the girl I saw earlier. I didn't pay attention to what Conor said, except the girl's name. Violet. "You look beautiful, Violet" was all I could say as I kissed her hand. The boys couldn't help but tease us, but I just looked at how beautiful she was.
Violet's POV
"Well then, I guess you just found your escort, Violet!" Oliver, my aunt's soon-to-be-husband teased. Harry smiled and said, "would it be okay if I escort you, miss?" Of course I said yes.
My friend Melody called and said she couldn't come to the wedding. As bummed as I was, my other friend Yuri said she'd go straight to the reception.
The church bells rang and the wedding planner called everyone's attention. "Okay, follow the line here, wait until I give you the signal."
Have I mentioned the church was absolutely incredible? It was huge, white, classic and just perfect. Me and Harry walked down the aisle and it felt like a dream. The other boys were paired with my other cousins and my other aunt, which was okay with them. Harry escorted me to my seat and kissed my hand again. I whispered thanks.
My aunt walked down the aisle and she looked like a queen. Beautiful + elegant and Oliver was mesmerized.
The usual ceremony started, but I couldn't help but look behind me. Harry and the rest of the boys were sitting a few rows away from me. Hoping I wouldn't get caught, as I glanced behind, he smiled at me. I looked away and pretended I didn't see him. I was so embarrassed to have done that. I'm a shy person, and I'm not good with that whole flirty thing. I wasn't even trying anyway.
"You may now kiss the bride!" the priest announced and everyone clapped for joy. Most of my relatives were crying, and so was Oliver's relatives as well.
The day went by fast and before you know it, we were at the reception.
Ahh the reception, my favorite part. Uh-huh, it's because of the food! And the dancing as well. The waiter escorted us to our table. I didn't see Harry anymore after the wedding. I was searching for him everywhere, but no luck. "Who are you looking for, baby V?" a voice said behind me. My friends came! They actually came! Yuri, Melody, Erika and Brie! "I thought you guys would never come! I love you forever! Grab a seat!" I said.
But then the lights went out. What is this? Is this part of the program? I wondered. Then music started playing, and a spotlight turned on.
"Please welcome, One Direction!!!" a voice over said.
You're insecure, don't know what for
You're turning heads when you walk through the do-o-o-r
Don't need make-up, to cover up
Being the way that you are is enough
Couldn't believe that the boys were in a band! I was in shock and and turned to my cousin Conor and mouthed "Why didn't you tell me?!" "Surprise!!" he laughed.
All of a sudden Harry jumped off the stage with a rose in his hand. He ran up to me and sang:
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
You don't know, you don't know you're beautiful
He handed me the rose and ran back to the stage. I was speechless and just couldn't move. The rest of One Direction handed a bouquet to the bride, of course. But just the fact that Harry had to hand me a rose was such a big surprise.
They ended the song and the crowd gave them a standing ovation.
Harry's POV
After the wedding we rushed straight to the dressing room to get dressed and warm-up our voices. Niall was holding a bouquet of flowers for the bride and Louis picked one rose. "Go for it" he said and I knew what he was talking about. "This is why I love you Louis!" I joked.
"One Direction, 3 minutes!" the host called. "Uh, excuse me sir, do you know where Violet is sitting?" I whispered. He pointed at the table near the dance floor. I thanked him and the boys gave me a good luck look.
The lights went out and we entered the stage, nervous that I might mess up. Zayn and Liam tapped my back and winked. Liam sang the first verse as the spotlight turned to us. Here I go, I said to myself as I jumped off the stage and ran to Violet.
That's what makes you beautiful
I smiled and ran back to the stage after finishing the chorus. When the song was finished, we bowed and announced that the buffet table was now open. What a thrill that felt.
Violet's POV
The buffet area was filled with people and I was one of the lucky few who was first in line. Next to my friends, me and Conor was still joking around about why he didn't tell me about One Direction. "They're freaking amazing! I hate you for not telling me!" "Haha! Sorry 'bout that!"
The food was great, a few more performances went by and it started to get dark. The reception was in this beautiful garden, perfect for the stars to shine bright. The DJ announced that the dance floor was open, and slow music started to play.
The strands in your eyes, that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
Emeralds from mountains thrust toward the sky
Never revealing their depth
The bride and groom started to dance, then my grandma and grandpa, and soon everyone else was dancing.
"Excuse me miss, would you like to dance?" Harry asked as he offered his hand. I realized Yuri and my other friends still didn't have a dance partner, "hold on a sec, I'll be right back" I told Harry. I went to the One Direction table and pulled all 4 to our table. "Yuri, meet Niall. Melody, meet Zayn. Erika, this is Liam. Brie, this is Louis." I said quickly and the 4 boys automatically offered them to dance. I winked at them as they disappeared in the crowd. "Now about this dance..." Harry said smiling.
He pulled me to the dance floor.
As I held him, he pulled me closer and started singing
I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be your love suicide
He pulled back and looked into my eyes. His pulled even closer as his lips met mine.
Fireworks flew across the night sky, Harry was holding me tight and everything was perfect.
"You look beautiful, Violet" he said and smiled. I blushed and the other guys teased Harry.
