The only thing I have remotely in common with these boys is that Ashley
Parker Angel and I were born on the exact same day-August 1, 1981.

FIRST THINGS FIRST: Alright guys I'd never thought I'd say this but here is
the 35th chapter of Nick and Ashley---the wedding chapter!!!!!! Wow I can
honestly say that I never ever thought that this would get this far. If you
look at the first chapter it says to email me back if you want me to keep
going. No community has ever accepted me as much as the Nifty group. You
guys are awesome and I love you all.  Special thanks to Jayson, Alex, Kev,

Nick and Ashley-Chapter Thirty-Five

Beautiful sunny Florida was the place, Wyndham Casa Marina Resort to be
exact. Built in 1921, it was the oldest resort in Key West. It was still
the most amazing place that management could possibly find. Since the
Passing The Torch tour was such a huge success they decided to splurge and
rent out most of the hotel all week, also seeing that as the best way to
avoid conflict with the wedding. On the day of the wedding, there was a
secluded part of the beach that management had bought out for the day. They
didn't quite agree with what was going on but they knew that they couldn't
stop it so they might as well help them keep it as clean as possible.

It was just a short walk from Duval Street, the main drag in this beautiful
hot spot. The clubs and exciting atmosphere had nothing on the absolute
beauty on this place. The way the sun glistened off the white sand
contrasted only to the way the moon gleamed off of the water on the
horizon. This truly was paradise and it just might be the perfect place for
a wedding, especially to a couple that has come so far.

Nick and Ashley- a source of energy for all lovers out there. Romance never
falls short of them and they seemed to just elevate off the ground with the
way that they have that aura around them when they are together.

"Hey space cadet, you alright over there?" Devon asked flaring his hands in
front of his boyfriend's face.

"Huh? Oh, yeah, just thinking." Dan said as he looked out the window over
the amazing site that lay before him.

"Anything in particular?" Devon asked back as he plopped himself down on
the bed of their hotel room laying on his back with his hands behind his
head.

"Nothing really." Dan said with a smile as he turned back around and saw
his gorgeous blond boyfriend just laying there.

"Do you remember the last time we were here Danny?" Devon asked.

"How could I forget?" Dan said as he laid down on top of the bed and
cuddled up with his boyfriend.

Flashes in their heads of the two men spending Valentine's Day in Key West
culminating a love that could rival Nick and Ashley's but oh so
different. It was just as strong, just as caring and just as healthy of a
relationship as theirs but there was one thing different about it. This was
Dan and Devon, not Nick and Ashley.

"That was one of the best weeks of my life Danny." Devon said

"This is our place Dev, our memories come before us every time we come back
here. There's no reason that we can't make every time here just as special
as the first." Dan said climbing up and looking into Devon's eyes.

Crystals of blue from Devon's eye clashing with Dan's soft brown eyes
provided just another contrast that made this relationship even stronger.

"We'll just have to make our own memories." Devon said with a smile as the
two men connected lips and kissed passionately.

Dan, being on top, slid over a bit to Devon's neck. The pale Canadian skin
of his boyfriend seemed to turn him on more and more each day. Dan ran his
hand through Devon's now short, spiky blond hair as he suckled at the nape
of his neck. Dan knew that Devon loved to have his neck touched and could
feel him moaning and beginning to squirm into Dan's touch.

Devon began to thrust his hips into Dan's crotch, knowing that all he
needed now was Dan. All he needed was his boyfriend and then the world
seemed to just disappear.  Nothing happened around them. It was just him
and Dan.


"Those two are already going at it? Jeez." Jacob said as he laid on the bed
in his and AJ's room flipping through the channels on the TV.

"That didn't take long." AJ said putting some folded clothes into the
drawers.

"Those two are like rabbits." Jacob said

"Like we're any better." AJ said with a laugh.

"Yeah well we probably do it better than those two anyway." Jacob said

"I don't know Jake they're a pretty hot couple." AJ said with a smile.

Jacob put on his pouting face and stared at the TV. His view was soon
directly obstructed by his boyfriend however.

"I think we're steaming compared to those two babyfaces." AJ said with a
smile as he kissed Jacob.

"You better believe it." Jacob said with a laugh. "Hey, speaking of
steaming." Jacob said with a hint.

Both men glanced over to the bathroom attached to their room. As if pulled
by some divine power both men got up and headed for the bathroom shedding
as much clothing as possible on the way over there. AJ closed the door and
turned around as he felt the hot water begin to fill the room.

Jacob stood there in just a pair of blue mesh shorts. The outline on his
chest spelling out a beautiful definition of muscle that he had been
working on for years. AJ traced his fingers over these lines, impressed by
the beauty that stood before him. As he reached the nipples he leaned in
for a kiss.  Jacob's lips being locked couldn't let out the yelp after AJ
pinched them.  That yelp was swallowed by AJ's tongue, which then turned
into a moan as AJ began to massage them.

AJ reached down underneath the waistband of the mesh shorts and released
them so that they fell to the floor. Jacob stepped out of them and began to
get incredibly hard as AJ began to play with his cock. AJ rubbed the
foreskin especially a lot since it might have been the most sensitive part
of his boyfriend's body. The head of Jacob's cock eventually poked its way
through to reveal a very meaty surprise just waiting to be licked.

AJ lowered his own shorts and on his way back up kissed every part of
Jacob's legs that he could get his lips on paying close attention to his
balls since he knew that he loved that. AJ stopped and came back up, which
gave them both the cue to step in the shower. The room filled with steam as
both men enjoyed each other's wonderful bodies that only belonged to them.

"Where are those two?" Trevor asked becoming impatient.

"Relax Trev. They'll get here soon." Lance said

"What could be taking them so long? We decided to go to lunch together like
an hour ago." Trevor said looking at his watch.

"Did anyone ever tell you that you get real cute when you're impatient"
Lance said with a smile.

"Thanks. I needed that." Trevor said with a sigh

"Look around Trev, we're in paradise, take a guess what's taking them so
long. It's the same reason we were almost late." Lance said with a smile.

"Dude, that's gross." Trevor said cringing.

"Why is that gross?" Lance asked

"The thought of Erik fucking anyone is just gross." Trevor said as he began
to laugh.

"Trevor, you spend almost every single day of your life with these guys.
Tell me that you couldn't draw each of them naked in your sleep by now."
Lance said

"Yeah well, I still have the best package." Trevor said with a laugh.

"It's all I need." Lance said looking into Trevor's dark eyes, rubbing the
top of his hand to show him affection in public.

"What's so funny, you two?" Erik said as he and Mandy walked over.

Both men busted out into laughter, practically rolling on the floor.

"Nevermind. I don't wanna know." Erik said as he and Mandy headed for the
door with Trevor and Lance in tow.


"Can I hold him Bri?" Nick asked

"Sure buddy." Brian said to Nick then looked at his son who was playing
with his dad's nose.  "Here's your Uncle Nick, Cody. You'll like his nose
better." Brian said as he handed his 3-week old son to his best friend.

"Very funny." Nick said sarcastically as he held the baby in his arms. "Hey
Cody, don't listen to Daddy, he's a silly guy." Nick said in a babyish tone
as he began to walk around the beach with him.  It was nighttime and had
been a long day of playing on the beach, eating out and some other
activities that paradise includes. Nick held the baby, rocking him in his
arms as Cody began to drift asleep after his long, tiresome day. Nick sat
in a chair on the patio overlooking the ocean as night seemed to take over
and the only light was the moon. Nick was taken back by the beautiful site
and apparently Cody was too because he was fast asleep in Nick's arms. He
kissed the baby on the forehead simply for being a sight of amazement to
him.

"You're gonna have to give him back eventually. I don't think Brian will
let you keep him" Ashley said with a smile as he came up behind him and put
his arms around his shoulders.

"Everyone's a wise guy around here." Nick said with a quiet laugh as to not
wake the baby.

"I still love you Nicky." Ashley said as he kissed him on the cheek.

"Look at this Ash, what a beautiful site. Like a family." Nick said with a
smile that seemed to just glow.

Ashley just smiled back at him knowing that this was eventually one of
their goals in life and no words needed to be expressed on how great it
would be to have a family of their own.

"This will be us one day Ash, I swear I will try my hardest to make this
us." Nick began "One day, one day." He kept whispering as he rubbed the
baby's cheek, marveling at the sheer beauty of the site.


The week in euphoria had gone by pretty quickly. Good times were shared,
including a bachelor party for both grooms thrown separately by the two
bands. Nick and Ashley were lying in bed together, Nick on his stomach
facing the window and Ashley laying with his head on Nick's back.  A small
peak of light shown through the curtains and seemed to hit Nick directly in
the eye.

"Ash, I thought you closed the shades last night." Nick groaned out.

"I did." Ashley moaned back.

"WAKE UP!!!!!!" screamed AJ as he jumped on the bed.

"What the hell is this?" Nick asked as he tried to rub the sleep out of his
eyes.

"It's your wedding day guys, that means that you two aren't allowed to see
each other all day.  We're here to make sure of that." Brian said as he
jumped on the bed with AJ.

"Three Backstreet Boys in a bed at the same time. You guys are lucky I'm
not a twelve-year-old girl." Ashley said as he pulled the sheet back over
his head.

"Don't think you're getting out of this so easily." Jacob said as he walked
in and began to jump on the bed.  "Let's go Ash." Dan said as all 4 of them
pulled at the O-town heartthrob.

Sleep to a pop star is so valuable that it seemed to make him ten times
stronger than all of them and he wrapped himself as best he could in the
sheets so he couldn't get pulled out.

"Hmm, he's a strong bastard." Jacob said.

"Yeah well I figured you guys would need some help so I recruited some guys
to help." AJ said as he gave a whistle.

As if they were five bouncers escorting people out of a club the five
members of N'Sync walked in and simply lifted Ashley directly out of the
bed.

"Oh you guys suck." Ashley said as he gave up on the attack and just let
himself be carried out of the room.

Justin stayed behind however as everyone else including AJ, Jacob, Brian
and Dan left the room grabbing whatever clothes Ashley needed on the way
out.

"Wedding day huh Carter?" Justin asked sarcastically as he sat down in one
of the chairs.

"Yeah something like that." Nick said as he got up and put a shirt on still
trying to figure out what just happened.

"You know you two young'ns are making me look bad." Justin said with a
smile

"What are you talking about Timberlake?" Nick asked.

"Ashley's the youngest in O-town, you're the youngest in BSB. I'm the
youngest in N'Sync. See the pattern?" Justin remarked

"Trust me we're shocking enough people as it is doing this. I don't think
there's too much pressure on ya buddy." Nick said with a smile.

"I know I know, I just can't believe you're getting married dude. That's
pretty crunk though."  Justin said as he extended his hand.

"Thanks J." Nick said as he slapped hands with an old friend.


There was a slight roar going over the crowd as the conversational talk
continued. Everyone anticipated a ceremony that saw the matrimony of two
individuals that knew what love was. They knew what it meant and knew that
it had power that was bigger than anyone knows or can imagine.

"You ready Ash?" Dan asked as he opened the door and poked his head into
the waiting room.

Ashley took a quick look around and noticed that this room that really
didn't have much in it seemed eerily familiar. He shook it off as
déjà vu and looked back up at Dan.

"I guess so." Ashley responded.

"You're about to get married buddy. You better be ready." Dan said with a
laugh as he walked out, Ashley getting up and following him out.

Something about all this seemed so weird and familiar to him. He shook it
off as best he could and got up and walked out to the church. The organ
struck a wedding note and Ashley looked to his left and saw Dan smiling at
him.

Ashley saw that genuine smile of his best friend and remembered that it was
the dream that he had before he told Nick about Matt. That's why this
seemed so familiar except this time it felt much more real. Before he knew
it, both men were finished walking side by side and they were at the front
of the aisle. Ashley got nervous for a second and quickly turned to see who
was waiting for him at the altar.

The other groom at the altar turned and he saw the face he was looking for.
Those blue eyes that could never be duplicated seemed to just stare into
his soul, as no one else's could. Ashley couldn't help but smile because
this was their day. Times had been rough but they had fought through it and
their love was better for it.

Ashley walked up next to his fiancée and took his hand, a hand that
provided nothing but strength for him. The minister began the service as
everyone watched on. Every couple in the audience saw something that day,
even the married ones. They saw what every love should be. Nick and Ashley,
standing up there hand in hand enjoying in their day and only their day was
an exemplary definition of what love is supposed to be.

"Nicholas and Ashley have decided to write their own vows for each other. I
will let them take over now starting with Nick." The pastor said as he took
a step back.

Brian handed Nick the ring out of his pocket. He gave his friend a wink and
whispered "Just speak from the heart."

"Ashley" Nick began "Please take this ring as a sign of my undying
affection and love for you.  Since you came into my life I have known
nothing more beautiful than our love. People say that we are too young but
who is to judge what our love should be. We've always understood what the
other one needs and I can never imagine my life without you now. You've
provided me with nothing but support, love and care and I am proud to call
you my husband."

Ashley pushed a smile through tears and after a few seconds turned around
as Dan handed him his ring.

"Nick" "Take this ring just as you have taken my life and every
imperfection that I have. Even in my unfaithfulness you have accepted every
part of me and given my heart a second chance."  Ashley said as tears stung
his eyes.  "Your smile is like air to me and without it I wouldn't be able
to breathe.  There is nothing more perfect in this world then our love and
I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with you."

Nick mouthed the words "I love you" as he reached his hand out and wiped
away Ashley's tears.  Ashley caressed Nick's hand as he held the side of
his face.

"Blessed by the beautiful words of love they share with each other, I know
pronounce you married under God, go and serve in his image. You may now
kiss." The minister said finishing the mass.

Nick's hand that was still on Ashley's face pulled him in and the two men
engaged in a kiss of epic proportions. It was a kiss that sealed a pact of
love. This kiss meant so much more than all the others. This kiss was the
beginning of a new life together, a new love that feeds off two very eager
hearts.


"Now, I'm proud to introduce for the first time ever Mr. and Mr. Nick and
Ashley Carter!" Clive Davis said through an outdoor microphone as the two
newlyweds walked through the arch that led onto the secluded section of the
beach that management had sectioned off for the wedding.

"I'd like to ask everyone to sit back down as Nick and Ashley share their
first song as a married couple. This is a song that they wrote together in
the studio and it is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. What
these two crazy kids don't know is that the remaining members of O- town
and Backstreet Boys will join together with N'Sync to sing their song for
them as a sign of their support for their friends."

O-town stepped to the front of the dance floor leaving room for Nick and
Ashley to dance in the middle. As the grooms embraced Ashley's bandmates
began singing.

"There were times in my life That I didn't understand What love truly meant

I didn't know the feeling Someone could provide me That only you could give

Now I understand What this feeling is And I know what it is I need."

Ashley looked deep into Nick's soulful eyes and saw his destiny. He saw
everything he needed in life.  N'Sync kicked in with the chorus from the
other side of the floor.

"All I need is you You're the one that brings me back to life You fill my
soul You give me the strength to go on You supply me with love You show
that you'll always be there And now I know that All I need is you"

Backstreet stepped to the front as they began to sing the second verse to
this beautiful ballad.

"I've never been here before This love is all so new It's a feeling that
surrounds me

It's something that follows me It guides my way You show me the means to
survive

My life is complete I am safe in your arms Because I know now that..."

N'Sync took over exactly where BSB left off and sang their part of the
chorus.

"All I need is you You're the one that brings me back to life You fill my
soul You give me the strength to go on You supply me with love You show
that you'll always be there And now I know that All I need is you"

All three groups came together and put every one of their collective voices
together as the music picked up and the song finished off strong.

"All I need is you You're the one that brings me back to life You fill my
soul You give me the strength to go on You supply me with love You show
that you'll always be there And now I know that All I need is you" It was a
beautiful song for a beautiful couple and touched a part of every person's
soul because it was written by Nick and Ashley. It truly was their song.

Everyone began to eat and dance a little more, trying to avoid as many
boy-band songs and dances as possible but of course a few are going to
sneak in, which was all in fun of course. Laughs were had and good times
were enjoyed.

"Hey guys can I get your attention please?" Dan said as he addressed the
entire crowd. "Me and Brian have to do this thing called a speech." He said
as everyone drew a small laugh.

"Yeah I guess being the best men and everything we should right?" Brian
said sarcastically in his thick southern accent.

"Guys, I can honestly say that I've never seen two people happier. You two
are the true definition of love and if every couple had half the amount of
love in their life as you two do then this world would be a better place."
Dan said proudly as he gave Ashley a wink and a smile.

"I can't agree more with my illustrious co-best man here." Brian started
with a smile "When they first started I honestly had my doubts but if you
simply watch them for more then two seconds every doubt in your mind will
be erased. The simple way that the other one's face lights up when he walks
in the room is just the smallest example of how perfect they are
together. All the luck in the world guys." Brian finished.

"Raise your glasses everyone." Dan said as he raised his glass of champagne
and everyone followed suit.

"To Nick and Ashley" Brian said out loud.

"To Nick and Ashley" Everyone replied and drank a swig of champagne.

After everyone sat back down a clanging of forks against glass began to
ring out through the beach.  The universal sign for the newlyweds to kiss
was no different here in Key West. Both men leaned in through a smile and
kissed a passionate kiss. Both men pulled out and simply stared into each
other's eyes, keeping their faces so close together that their noses were
touching.

"I love you baby." Nick whispered

"Forever Nicky." Ashley responded.


Dan and Devon walked up the beach in the night, letting the cold sand set
in between their bear toes as they discarded their shoes and socks when
they first started walking.  Bowties were also drawn down and it was time
to unwind after this hectic yet gorgeous day. The couple held hands as the
waves nipped at their toes barely touching them before it retreats back to
the ocean.

"Beautiful wedding huh?" Devon asked

"Yeah." Dan said looking out over the ocean.

"Something wrong Danny?" Devon asked as the two stopped in the moonlight.

"Beautiful isn't it?" Dan said looking out over the ocean

"The ocean? Yeah it is." Devon replied

"I meant us." Dan said as he smiled and the two kissed.

Dan pulled out and just stared into Devon's eyes, which seemed to just glow
with an aura that made this next question even easier.

Dan pulled a small black box out of his left pocket and opened it to reveal
a beautiful gold band.

"Devon, will you marry me?" Dan asked

Devon looked shocked for a second.

"Oh Danny." Devon said as he looked down at the box. When he looked back up
he had tears in his eyes.

"Yes" Devon replied tears stinging his eyes.

A simple hug was all that was necessary for these two lovers. It was all
they needed to complete their love.

TO BE CONTINUED...

<<<< Quite a chapter huh? Pytn18@hotmail.com for comments and suggestions.
"Nick and Ashley" ends here but don't fear everyone it will continue. The
new name will be "All I Need Is You" which goes along nicely with the whole
focus of "need" in this chapter.  It will pick up right where this left
off. I know this was long but I thought it was worth it. I had a lot of fun
writing this and I hope everyone enjoys reading it. >>>>
