William couldn't deny the fact that he had expected a large public turnout for his wedding. After seeing how publically popular his mother and father's wedding was, he was willing to accept the fact that his wedding would not be the private one he had always dreamed of, but one that was televised for the world to see. However, what he did not expect was just how many fans cramped the streets of England to see him and his soul mate, Kate Middleton, get married. Shockingly, it was a larger crowd than his mother and father's wedding – something William would never fully understand.

"Will?"

Realizing he was squeezing his new bride's hand fairly tight as he was in deep thought, William blinked and came back to reality. He looked across the seat at Kate and smiled.

"Sorry," he pressed his lips together and brought her knuckles up to his lips, kissing her delicate fingers.

"It's okay. What were you thinking about?"

William chewed on his bottom lip. "Just about how everything turned out today," his eyes met hers. "Everything
was perfect."

Kate grinned. "It was, wasn't it? I'm still pinching myself." She turned her head and looked out the window of the limousine her and William were riding to their wedding reception. The faces and buildings were speeding past her at whirlwind speed. The speed of how the world was moving outside her window captured how she had felt at her wedding. The day was impeccable, but Kate felt as if she blinked and it was over. She did her best to take everything in, and hoped she would be able to do the same at their reception.
She felt William tugging on her hand he still held in his. She turned her head to meet his wide eyes.

"I love you, you know that?"

Kate pressed a smile. "I do know that. What I don't know is if I can ever fully fathom how someone like you could ever love someone like me-"

"Hey," William's blue orbs turned serious. "Never doubt my love for you. What I find unbelievable is that you would ever fall in love with me."

Kate scoffed with a smile in her eyes. "Well, you weren't very hard to fall in love with."

"Oh?" William's tone brightened. "How so?"

Kate couldn't help the blood that quickly rushed to her cheeks. William smiled adoringly at her.

"Was it my undeniable charm, my hilarious personality, or my supermodel good looks?" He winked as Kate rolled her eyes.

"I think it was your immense modesty."

William chuckled. "I'm kidding you, don't worry."

Kate nodded. She watched his eyes, a grin tugging on her lips as she watched him watch hers back. Words were rarely needed between the couple. They could read each other like a book.

"So would you have preferred a smaller wedding?"

Kate raised an eyebrow at Will's question. She contemplated for a moment, trying to find the right words. "I absolutely lovedour wedding, it was spectacular. Better than any girl's dream wedding. But-"

"But?" William had a smile in his voice.

Kate chewed her bottom lip. "I just…I don't know. I keep wondering what it would have been like if it was just me and you. You know?"

William grinned crookedly and rubbed his new bride's hand. "I've been wondering that myself." He turned his head and looked out the window, disappearing into his thoughts once more.

"I wonder…" he trailed off as they pulled up to the reception hall. Kate looked at him with concern.

"Are you alright?"

William looked at her, snapping himself out of his thoughts. "Yeah, yeah I'm fine. I was just imagining something." He inhaled loudly as the limousine came to a complete stop outside the reception hall. Tucking his thoughts in the back of his mind, he smiled at his wife and laced their fingers together. "Are you ready?"

Kate nodded. "I'm ready!"

"So I'd just like to say thank you to everyone who has showed up tonight!" Harry awkwardly climbed onto a table to give himself a stage as he began his best man speech. The amount of alcohol in his system made it a challenging task, but once he hoisted himself up, he stood with pride. His dress shirt was unbuttoned, a playful fez was sitting on top of his messy hair, and a bottle of champagne was clutched in his left hand. The party had started only thirty minutes ago, but for Harry, it had begun much earlier.

"I know how far some of you have travelled to be here, so on behalf of Will and Kate, thank you." He looked to his brother and new sister-in-law who were sitting at a table with their immediate families. "Will and Kate are married. Wow. That's why we're all here, right? To celebrate the love between these two human beings. Well, we had a very nice, formal ceremony this morning. Do you all agree?"

The crowd of family and friends chattered in agreement.

"I thought it was a great ceremony." Harry looked directly at Kate. "Hey, sis! Wow, you looked beautiful today. I know our mother would be so very proud of you."

Kate grinned and looked at her hands shyly. Harry continued.

"Will, you looked alright I guess. I feel sorry for you Kate. You didn't marry the good looking brother." He pointed to himself with the hand that still held the champagne bottle. The crowd chuckled. "But in all seriousness, Will looked pretty hot in the thong he wore underneath his uniform today."

The crowd erupted into laughter as Will turned a bright shade of red. Kate chuckled along with the guests but made sure to kiss her husband's cheek comfortingly. Harry chortled into the microphone.

"Sorry, Will. Or should I say Big Willie? Right Kate?" Harry giggled as it was Kate's turn to turn red. "Oh but don't worry, Will also has a pet name for Kate. Babykins."

William buried his face into Kate's shoulder as the party doubled over in laughter.

"You said you would never tell!" William shouted from his table. Harry shrugged.

"I lied," he replied with a chortle. "Anyways, I'm here to talk about Will and Kate's relationship." He dug out a sheet of lined paper from the pocket of his dress pants and held it in the hand that also held the microphone. "You see, I knew that Will had a thing for Kate when he started being all romantic and such. You all know how new relationships are. Chatting on the phone until the wee hours, writing letters to each other, kissing all the time. Before Kate, Will didn't have a romantic bone in his body. He would have never been caught writing a letter to a girl, much less talking to her over the phone for hours. After he had fallen for Kate though," Harry caught Will's eye and winked. "He was suddenly into all the cliché things he had to do to catch her heart. It was quite adorable actually." He unraveled the paper that was in his hand and held it out in front of himself. "This is a letter Will wrote to me after his and Kate's first date. For Will's sake, I'll only read an excerpt from it." Harry looked at William and smiled. "'Dear Harry, I had the best time with Kate tonight. She really is a wonderful, beautiful, intriguing girl. Every time she smiles my heart beats a little faster. She doesn't treat me like anyone else here. She makes me feel special. I think I'm really falling for her.'"

Harry tucked the paper back into his pocket as the families and friends cooed at the letter. William and Kate simply smiled at each other. Words weren't necessary when the pure love in their eyes spoke volumes about how they felt for each other.

"So that's basically when I knew that Kate was the one for Will," Harry spoke, continuing his speech. "Of course, I was a tad bit worried. What would she think of Will's hereditary balding?" Harry smirked at Will. "I guess I can't really be talking since I'm a ginge." The joke caused a subtle laughter within the crowd. "But what I really loved about Kate was that she accepted William as he was. She didn't try to transform him, manipulate him, or do any of the things that about three quarters of the girls at St. Andrews tried to do. She was simply there for him, and that's a very respectable quality to possess." He looked to Kate, who was smiling as William whispered something in her ear. Harry grinned. "And then the world got the opportunity to watch their love blossom. As some of us know, it was the greatest test in Will and Kate's relationship. Could they withstand the constant nagging of the paparazzi? Could Kate handle being in headlines every week? Kate's one of the strongest women I know, and I knew that she could handle being in William's life, maybe even before sheknew she could. And time and time again, she proved that she could live this lifestyle. I remember chatting with Kate before she met our father, and now I guess her new father-in-law." Harry chuckled as he reminisced. "She was so nervous, her hands were shaking. I can recall what she said to me. Do you remember, Kate?"

Kate bit her bottom lip and nodded.

"Yeah, I knew you would remember. She came up to me and very bluntly said 'Harry, I'm meeting your father in a few minutes and I really have to pee. Is there a washroom anywhere?'" Everyone in the room chuckled as Kate and Charles smiled at each other. Harry continued. "What really amazed me was that Kate and I had only met briefly once before that, and yet she was so comfortable with confessing that she needed to pee. I think that was the beginning of Kate and I's friendship. After that, we became very close. William even had to sometimes ask me if hecould see Kate once and a while because Kate and I were always together having great conversations." Harry paused and winked at Kate. "And then…" he trailed off, shaking his head at William in a mocking way. "Will broke up with Kate. Or, well, they broke up with each other. I guess it was somewhat mutual, right guys?"

William and Kate just looked at each other and chuckled.

"Well, mutual or not, they broke up. And lemme tell you, I was devastated." Harry mockingly choked up a little bit as the crowed buzzed with laughter. "Okay, in actuality, Will was pretty devastated, not me. I remember that about two months after him and Kate were broken up, he called me and ordered me to go see him instantly. I was quite worried so I rushed to meet him." Harry's seemingly permanent smile disappeared. "I searched the whole house until I found him sitting on his bed with pictures of him and Kate spread out around him. He looked up at me and his face had such pain in it. I was very worried. I hadn't seen a look like that on his face since I accidentally kicked him in the nuts when we were younger. I knew something was seriously wrong." Harry inhaled loudly. "And all he did was look up at me and say, very softly, 'what have I done?'." The crowd was quiet as Harry paused again. "I kind of chuckled nervously and said 'You're the one that broke up with her, fool'." Harry smiled sympathetically. "And William just looked at me like I wasn't there. He started mumbling about how he realized that he didn't want to, and simply couldn't, live without Kate. So I handed him the phone and told him to call her. He did, and she answered. Do you remember that phone call, Kate?"

Kate' lips curved up in a small smile as she nodded her head.

"William called her and basically begged for her to come back to him," Harry and the whole party couldn't help chuckling as William blushed. "And I think that Kate rejected him at first. I guess she wanted to play hard to get. She learned that from me." Harry winked at Kate. "But soon enough Will and Kate were back together, and the world was in balance again. When they first got back together, there was nothing you could possibly say to William that would make him frown. He was so ecstatic to have Kate back in his life that you could have told him that the world was ending in the next thirty second and he wouldn't have flinched. And when William was happy, I was happy. And let's be honest, it really only matters if I'm happy, right?" Everyone laughed as Harry took a brief pause. "Thankfully I haven't seen that immense look of pain on Will's face ever since that day. And with Kate now in his life forever, I know I'll never see that pain again. You know why?" He grinned goofily at Will and Kate. "Because you two make each other better people. You two know everything about one another. You two laugh with each other, respect each other, honor each other, and most importantly, loveeach other." He looked to Kate, who had a tear in her eye as William rubbed her hand and lovingly gazed at her. Harry beamed as he held up his champagne bottle. "So here's to Will and Kate, here's to everlasting love, and here's to the party that will surely be of the century! Cheers."

The crowd got to their feet while erupting into applause, woops, and cheers. Harry took a big swig of champagne before setting it down, holding up his arms, and leaping from the table onto the ground again. Will and Kate looked at each other, enormous smiles of pure, honest happiness on their faces. William placed his index finger underneath her chin and brought her lips to meet his in a gentle, sweet kiss. As they pulled away, William locked his eyes on Kate's, a burning emotion behind his blue orbs. He tilted his head down to her ear and whispered very simply the three words that had never been truer in their relationship than at that very moment.

"I love you."
