Author's note

There are some things you need to know before you read this one-shot.

The characters in this one-shot are adults. No one is in high school or college. Elena and Caroline never went to college.

This one-shot is inspired by the 2016 movie Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates. You don't have to watch that movie in order to read this one-shot, because there are some differences between this one-shot and that movie.

Some of the characters in this one-shot will be out of character.

Tyler never dated Vicki or Caroline. He is dating Cassidy. Damon dated Vicki before Maria and Matt got together and turned her into a vampire, and he had to kill her because she couldn't control her bloodlust. Matt and Maria got together after Vicki died.

Augustine, the secret society based in Whitmore College, never existed, and therefore, Damon, Enzo, and Jesse never became Augustine vampires. Damon and Enzo became friends in 1950 while they were spending some time in Chicago, Illinois.

Maria, Matt, Damon, Stefan, Elena, Caroline, Tyler, Lexi, Jake, Bonnie, Enzo, Cassidy, Peter, and Kelly know about the supernatural. No one else in this one-shot knows about the supernatural.

Elena and Caroline were home-schooled and didn't meet Maria, Matt, Damon, Stefan, Elena, Caroline, Tyler, Lexi, Jake, Bonnie, Enzo, Cassidy, Peter, Kelly, and Liam before the events of this one-shot.

Elena dated a vampire at some point in her life, and he was the one who turned her into a vampire.

Caroline dated a vampire at some point in her life, and he was the one who turned her into a vampire.

Damon Salvatore and his twin sister, Maria, were born in Mystic Falls, Virginia on June 18, 1839. Maria was 10 minutes younger than Damon. Her and Damon's brother, Stefan Salvatore, was born on November 1, 1846.

Damon, Maria, and Stefan's parents were Giuseppe and Lillian "Lily" Salvatore. Lily died of tuberculosis in 1858. In 1862, Maria fell in love with a shopkeeper, and they lost their virginity. A few months later, he contracted tuberculosis and died.

In 1864, at the beginning of September, Katherine Pierce arrived in Mystic Falls. Maria befriended her. Damon and Stefan fell in love with her. Katherine told Damon, Maria, and Stefan that she was a vampire. Damon and Stefan competed for Katherine's affection, not realizing that she had turned them against each other. It didn't take long for Maria to realize that Katherine had turned Damon and Stefan against each other. She went from being Katherine's friend to disliking Katherine.

Damon wanted to give up his human life and spend eternity with Katherine, and he begged Maria and Stefan to hide her vampirism from Giuseppe, who hated vampires and was a member of the Founder's Council.

On September 25, 1864, Stefan inadvertently revealed that Katherine was a vampire, and she was captured by the townspeople. Giuseppe scolded Damon for hiding Katherine's vampirism. Damon was furious with Stefan and started a fight at the Salvatore Estate. When Maria tried to break up the fight, she and her brothers tripped and fell. Damon landed on top of Maria. Stefan landed a few inches away from them. Damon had some of Katherine's blood on his lips. His and Maria's faces were so close together that Katherine's blood got in Maria's mouth. Damon and Stefan decided to rescue Katherine. Maria went with them because she was worried that they would get hurt.

Damon, Stefan, and Maria were shot and killed by Giuseppe, who was ashamed of them for getting close to a vampire. They died with Katherine's blood inside of them. Damon and Maria woke up a few hours later and witnessed the burning of Fell's Church, where the townspeople had imprisoned the vampires. When Stefan woke up the next morning, Damon told him that Katherine's death meant his reason for living was gone and he wouldn't complete his transition. Not wanting to live without her twin, Maria told Stefan that she wouldn't complete her transition. Later that day, when Stefan returned after being unable to resist feeding on Giuseppe and inadvertently completing his transition, he forced Damon and Maria to drink from a young woman's neck, causing them to complete their transitions.

After she completed her transition, Maria periodically moved from place to place to make sure that her immortality and lack of aging did not lead to her vampirism being exposed. She lived among humans mostly anonymously and usually avoided getting attached to them, but some of them became her friends and boyfriends. In the 1990's, she moved into the Salvatore Boarding House with Damon and Stefan. Shortly after her fiancé, Matt Donovan, proposed to her, he moved into the Salvatore Boarding House.

Maria didn't drink animal blood. She either drank a blood bag or used the "snatch, eat, erase" method of feeding.

Ever since the 1990's ended, Damon and Stefan had been loose cannons. They had a tendency to ruin the parties Maria threw by showing up stag, getting drunk, hitting on the female guests, and acting like idiots.

Maria and Matt were sitting on a couch in the living room of the Salvatore Boarding House. Damon and Stefan were sitting on the couch across from them.

Maria and Matt were going to get married in Hawaii. She planned to turn him into a vampire after their honeymoon in Venice, Italy. He was on board with this.

Maria looked at her brothers. "Over the years, a theme has emerged at my parties. Everyone's having a good time, things are going smoothly, and then you show up stag, get drunk, hit on girls, act like idiots, and ruin it. I don't want that to happen at the wedding, which is why I need you to bring dates. Your dates must be nice girls and keep you in line."

Maria was tall and slender with fair skin and blue eyes. Her long brown hair was straight and parted in the middle. She was wearing an unbuttoned dark blue denim jacket, a black t-shirt, dark blue denim jeans, and black ankle-length leather boots. She had on a light amount of black eyeliner, a light amount of black mascara, soft brown eyeshadow, and nude lip gloss. Her daylight ring looked identical to Damon's but had the letter M on it instead of the letter D. She wore it on her right hand.

Maria was kind, caring, friendly, compassionate, and charismatic. She enjoyed throwing parties. She felt remorse when she killed someone and refrained from doing so, unless her humanity switch was turned off. She turned off her humanity when someone she cared about died in order to block out her grief.

Not knowing any suitable girls, Damon and Stefan put an ad in the local newspaper that said they were looking for wedding dates and the girls they chose would get a free trip to Hawaii. The ad was a hit, their cell phones ringing non-stop with girls offering themselves as their dates.

Elena Gilbert and her best friend, Caroline Forbes, had just been fired for showing up drunk to their waitressing jobs at the local seafood restaurant. They returned to their apartment. They read the newspaper while eating pizza in nothing but camisoles and panties. They came across Damon and Stefan's ad.

"This free trip to Hawaii is just what you need to get over Jesse." Elena said.

At one point, Caroline had been engaged to a human named Jesse and had planned to turn him into a vampire after their honeymoon in Paris, France. At first, he had been on board with that, but in their wedding day, he changed his mind and left Caroline at the altar. Caroline had a video of the incident on her cell phone and often watched it when she was drunk, which resulted in her crying and Elena having to comfort her.

Caroline looked at the pictures of Damon and Stefan and said, "You're right. Plus, those guys are hot!"

"Yeah, they are. Which one do you want to go on the trip with?" Elena asked.

"Stefan." Caroline said.

"I figured you'd say that. He seems like your type." Elena said.

"If they're going to pick us, we have to look like nice girls. We do not look like nice girls." Caroline said.

"Fuck. You're right. We need to clean ourselves up and make ourselves like we have our shit together. We've got to look respectable as fuck." Elena said.

"We have to act like nice girls too, so try to refrain from dropping the F-bomb." Caroline told Elena.

Elena and Caroline cleaned themselves up and headed to Mystic Grill, which was where Damon and Stefan would be meeting the girls interested in being their dates. Their plan was simple — pretend to be injured and get Damon and Stefan's attention. After that, they would have the brothers wrapped around their fingers.

Elena jumped in front of a car that drove by, bouncing off the windshield and landing on the asphalt. Thanks to her supernatural abilities, she didn't sustain serious injuries.

Caroline pretended to be shocked and ran over to Elena.

"Someone, help!" Caroline yelled, kneeling down next to Elena.

Caroline was wearing an unbuttoned dark grey suede jacket, a green t-shirt, dark blue denim jeans, and dark grey ankle-length suede boots. Her long blonde hair was straight and parted in the middle. She had on a light amount of black eyeliner, a light amount of black mascara, soft brown eyeshadow, and nude lip gloss. Her daylight ring was on her right hand.

Damon and Stefan rushed out of the restaurant and saw Elena lying on the ground.

Damon stared at Elena, dazed. She was a dead ringer for Katherine. Who knew he'd find a Petrova doppelgänger?

"Snap out of it!" Stefan nudged Damon, bringing him out of his daze.

Stefan was wearing an unzipped black leather jacket, a white t-shirt, dark blue denim jeans, and black ankle-length leather boots. His daylight ring was on his right hand.

"My best friend is hurt. Please help her!" Caroline yelled.

Damon knelt down next to Elena and gave her CPR. Pretending to have been saved, Elena awoke and let Damon help her stand up.

Elena gave Damon a winning smile. "You just saved my life. Thank you."

Elena was wearing an unbuttoned dark blue denim jacket, a black t-shirt, dark blue denim jeans, and black ankle-length leather boots. Her long brown hair was straight and parted in the middle. She had on a light amount of black eyeliner, a light amount of black mascara, soft brown eyeshadow, and nude lip gloss. Her daylight ring was on her right hand.

Damon was transfixed on Elena's beauty. "No problem."

Damon was wearing an unzipped black leather jacket, a black t-shirt, dark blue denim jeans, and black ankle-length leather boots. His daylight ring was on his right hand.

After Damon and Stefan were fooled into thinking that Damon saved Elena's life, the brothers took the girls on a date and asked them questions about their lives. Elena claimed to be a school teacher, and Caroline posed as a hedge fund manager. Elena flirted with Damon, but things didn't go any further. Don't get her wrong — Damon was attractive, but she had no intention of sleeping with him. Due to the success of the date, Damon and Stefan invited Elena and Caroline to the wedding.

Damon and Stefan told Maria and Matt that they had found wedding dates. Maria expressed interest in meeting Elena and Caroline. She asked Damon and Stefan to ask Elena and Caroline to have dinner at the Mystic Grill with her, Matt, Tyler, Lexi, Jake, Bonnie, Enzo, Cassidy, Peter, and Kelly.

Damon, Stefan, Elena, and Caroline entered the Mystic Grill. Maria, Matt, Tyler, Lexi, Jake, Bonnie, Enzo, Cassidy, Peter, and Kelly were sitting at a table near the back. Damon, Stefan, Elena, and Caroline made their way over to them.

Damon introduced Maria to Elena. "Maria, this is Elena Gilbert. She's my date for your wedding. Elena, this is my twin sister, Maria. She's 10 minutes younger than me."

Damon was wearing an unzipped black leather jacket, a light grey t-shirt, dark blue denim jeans, and black ankle-length leather boots. His daylight ring was on his right hand.

Elena was wearing black ankle-length leather boots, an unzipped black leather jacket, and a sleeveless red dress with a v-neck and an a-line skirt. The dress reached her knees. It showed a hint of cleavage. Her long brown hair was parted in the middle and styled in barrel curls. She had on a light amount of black eyeliner, a light amount of black mascara, soft brown eyeshadow, and nude lip gloss. Her daylight ring was on her right hand.

With a smile on her face, Maria shook Elena's right hand. "It's nice to meet you, Elena."

Maria was wearing black ankle-length leather boots, an unzipped black leather jacket, and a sleeveless green dress with a v-neck and an a-line skirt. The dress reached her knees. It showed a hint of cleavage. Her long brown hair was straight and parted in the middle. She had on a light amount of black eyeliner, a light amount of black mascara, soft brown eyeshadow, and nude lip gloss. Her daylight ring was on her right hand.

Stefan introduced Maria to Caroline. "This is Caroline Forbes. She's my wedding date."

Stefan was wearing an unzipped black leather jacket, a black t-shirt, dark blue denim jeans, and black ankle-length leather boots. His daylight ring was on his right hand.

Caroline was wearing black ankle-length leather boots, an unzipped black leather jacket, and a sleeveless purple dress with a v-neck and an a-line skirt. The dress reached her knees. It showed a hint of cleavage. Her long blonde hair was parted in the middle and styled in barrel curls. She had on a light amount of black eyeliner, a light amount of black mascara, soft brown eyeshadow, and nude lip gloss. Her daylight ring was on her right hand.

With a smile on her face, Maria shook Caroline's right hand. "It's nice to meet you, Caroline."

Her bangs were parted to the right side and covered her eye slightly. She had on a light amount of black eyeliner, a light amount of black mascara, soft brown eyeshadow, and nude lip gloss.

A human waitress walked up to the group and took their orders. The food and drinks arrived.

Later that night, everyone left the restaurant.

Elena and Caroline met up with Damon, Stefan, Maria, Matt, Tyler, Lexi, Jake, Bonnie, Enzo, Cassidy, Peter, and Kelly at Richmond International Airport, an airport in the town of Richmond, Virginia.

Richmond was located just outside of Mystic Falls.

Maria looked at Elena and Caroline and said, "There's something you need to know. Damon, Stefan, Maria, Lexi, Jake, Enzo, and I are vampires. Tyler is a werewolf. Bonnie is a witch. Matt, Peter, Kelly, and Cassidy are human."

"Caroline and I are vampires." Elena said.

Upon arriving in Hawaii, everyone checked into Turtle Bay Resort. Maria and Matt were sharing a room. Lexi, Bonnie, and Cassidy were sharing a room. Tyler, Enzo, and Jake were sharing a room. Peter had his own room. Kelly had her own room. Damon and Stefan were sharing a room. Elena and Caroline were sharing a room.

Maria, Matt, Tyler, Lexi, Jake, Bonnie, Enzo, Cassidy, Peter, and Kelly fell for Elena and Caroline's nice girl act. Their plan was almost exposed when Caroline had a flashback to Jesse leaving her at the altar, got drunk, and made jealous, offhanded comments to Maria.

Maria, Matt, Tyler, Lexi, Jake, Bonnie, Enzo, Cassidy, Peter, Kelly, Damon, and Stefan planned to go swimming with dolphins. Elena and Caroline convinced them to go on an ATV ride at Kualoa Ranch instead. Kualoa Ranch was where Jurassic Park was filmed. The group rode ATVs to a hill. Elena and Caroline rode their ATVs down a slope and did tricks. Damon rode down the slope, despite Maria and Stefan warning him not to. He tried to copy one of the tricks Elena and Caroline did, but he was unable to control the movement of the vehicle. He ended up crashing into Matt and breaking his left arm. Bonnie used her magic to heal Matt's injury.

Feeling guilty about what happened to Matt, Elena and Caroline told him, Maria, Damon, and Stefan that to make up for it, they would take them to one of the bars near Turtle Bay Resort and compel the bartender at the hotel to serve them free drinks all night long.

Maria, Matt, Tyler, Lexi, Jake, Bonnie, Enzo, Cassidy, Peter, and Kelly decided to have lunch at one of the restaurants near Turtle Bay Resort. This gave Damon and Stefan the chance to spend time with Elena and Caroline. Stefan found himself falling in love with Caroline. Elena kept flirting with Damon but still didn't want to take the next step with him.

Damon decided to go swimming in the pool at Turtle Bay Resort.

Elena and Caroline decided to go to one of the beaches near Turtle Bay Resort. They ended up talking to an attractive human named Liam Davis.

Elena lowered her black sunglasses and peered at Liam.

"Want to have a threesome with us?" Elena asked.

"Hell yeah." Liam said.

Elena, Caroline, and Liam made their way to the spa and went to the sauna.

Intending to take a shower, Damon started walking back to his hotel room. He saw Elena, Caroline, and Liam having a threesome in the sauna. He got angry and stormed off.

Elena broke out of the threesome, putting on a bathrobe and chasing after Damon.

"Look, Damon, I'm sorry, but I didn't come because I was interested in you. I came because I wanted a free trip to Hawaii." Elena said.

The rehearsal dinner was being held in one of the rooms at Turtle Bay Resort.

Damon dragged Stefan backstage, demanding that he practice his speech rather than spend time with Caroline. Stefan wasn't having it. Damon told him what happened in the sauna, unaware that their conversation was being broadcast over the speaker system. Things escalated, and the brothers got physical in front of everyone.

Matt stood up, putting his napkin down. "Maria, if this craziness becomes our new reality, I don't think I'll be able to marry you. I'm calling off the wedding!"

Matt walked away. Peter and Kelly followed him.

Maria made her way backstage, anger radiating off her body.

"You two just cost me my marriage!" Maria yelled.

Stefan looked at Maria in shock and asked, "What?"

"Everyone heard your conversation. Matt said he didn't think he would be able to marry me if this craziness became our new reality and called off the wedding!" Maria yelled.

Damon and Stefan watched as Maria stormed off.

Tyler, Lexi, Jake, Bonnie, Enzo, and Cassidy left the room.

Damon and Stefan made up in their hotel room, agreeing to work together to get the wedding back on track.

Feeling guilty, Elena and Caroline agreed to help Damon and Stefan fix the wedding.

Damon, Stefan, Elena, and Caroline went to Maria and Matt's hotel room to apologize, only for it to end in an argument.

"Everyone, shut the hell up!" Matt yelled.

Everyone stopped arguing and turned to look at Matt.

"I didn't mean what I said last night. Despite the craziness, I still want to marry Maria." Matt said.

Maria reached for Matt's hand. "You do?"

Matt grabbed Maria's hand, a smile on his face. "Yes." He excused himself, heading over to the nightstand and taking an envelope out of the drawer. "Here. Consider this an early honeymoon present."

Maria opened the envelope and gasped.

"You bought two tickets to a hot air balloon ride?" Maria asked.

"Yeah. I remember you talking about how much you've been wanting to ride in a hot air balloon." Matt said.

Maria smiled and hugged Matt. "Thank you, Matt."

Caroline smiled, clapping her hands. "Yay! The wedding's back on!"

Matt and Maria had hired a DJ. He was standing behind a turntable. The turntable was a few inches away from Elena, Kelly, Stefan, Caroline, and Peter.

The DJ spun a disc, and Right Here Waiting by Richard Marx started playing. Matt and Maria liked that song and wanted it to play during the processional.

Oceans apart

Day after day

And I slowly go insane

I hear your voice on the line

But it doesn't stop the pain

If I see you next to never

How can we say forever?

Wherever you go

Whatever you do

I will be right here waiting for you

Whatever it takes or how my heart breaks

I will be right here waiting for you.

"We are gathered here today to witness the marriage of Matthew Donovan and Maria Salvatore. If anyone knows of any reason why these two should not be married, speak now or forever hold your peace." The officiant told the crowd.

No one said anything.

"Matthew, place Maria's ring on the ring finger of her left hand." The officiant told Matt.

Tyler handed Matt Maria's wedding ring. Matt placed it on the ring finger of Maria's left hand. It was a beautiful ring — a simple silver band with a diamond in the middle.

I've got to tell you what I'm feeling inside

I could lie to myself, but it's true

There's no denying when I look in your eyes

Girl, I'm out of my head over you

And I lived so long believing all love is blind

But everything about you is telling me this time

It's forever

This time, I know

And there's no doubt in my mind

Forever

Until my life is through

And I never thought I'd lay my heart on the line

And there's no doubt in my mind

Forever

Until my life is through

It was time for Matt and Maria's first dance as a married couple.

The DJ spun a disc, and Can't Fight This Feeling by REO Speedwagon started playing. Matt and Maria liked that song and wanted it to play during their first dance.

I can't fight this feeling any longer

And yet, I'm still afraid to let it flow

What started out as friendship has grown stronger

I only wish I had the strength to let it show

I tell myself that I can't hold out forever

I said there is no reason for my fear

'Cause I feel so secure when we're together

You give my life direction

You make everything so clear.

Matt and Maria made their way to the dance floor. He wrapped his arms around her waist, and she put her hands on his shoulders. They began to sway. The photographer took a picture of them.

And even as I wander, I'm keeping you in sight

You're a candle in the window on a cold, dark winter's night

And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I can't fight this feeling anymore

I've forgotten what I started fighting for

It's time to bring this ship into the shore

And throw away the oars forever

'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore

I've forgotten what I started fighting for

And if I have to crawl upon the floor

Come crashing through your door

Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore

My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you

I've been running round in circles in my mind

And it always seems that I'm following you, girl

'Cause you take me to the places that alone, I'd never find

And even as I wander, I'm keeping you in sight

You're a candle in the window on a cold, dark winter's night

And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I can't fight this feeling anymore

I've forgotten what I started fighting for

It's time to bring this ship into the shore

And throw away the oars forever

'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore

I've forgotten what I started fighting for

And if I have to crawl upon the floor

Come crashing through your door

Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore.

The DJ stopped spinning the disc.

Matt let go of Maria and returned to his seat. Maria stayed on the dance floor.

It was time for Maria to dance with her brothers.

The DJ spun a disc, and When You Need Me by Bruce Springsteen started playing. Maria liked that song and wanted it to play when she danced with her brothers.

When you need me, call my name

'Cause without you, my life just wouldn't be the same

If you want me

Come sunny skies or rain

When you need me, just call my name.

Damon walked up to Maria. He wrapped his arms around her waist, and she put her hands on his shoulders. They began to sway. The photographer took a picture of them.

If you miss me, I'll be there

To brush the sunlight from your hair

I'll be there to guide you when trouble walks beside you

If you need me, I'll be there

And when this dirty world has been cold to you

I've got two strong arms waiting to hold you

And when those mean days come along

We'll stand together

And we'll take them on

So, if you need me, just call my name.

Damon let go of Maria and returned to his seat.

Stefan walked up to Maria. He wrapped his arms around her waist, and she put her hands on his shoulders. They began to sway. The photographer took a picture of them.

When you need me, call my name

'Cause without you, my life just isn't the same

'Cause when this world kicked me around

You picked me up off the ground

So, if you need me, I'll be there

When you need me, call my name

'Cause without you, my life just wouldn't be the same

If you want me

Come sunny skies or rain

When you need me, just call my name.

Stefan let go of Maria. They returned to their seats.

It was time for the mother/son dance.

The DJ spun a disc, and Unforgettable by Nat King Cole started playing. Kelly liked that song and wanted it to play during the mother/son dance.

Unforgettable

That's what you are

Unforgettable

Though near or far

Like a song of love that clings to me

How the thought of you

Does things to me

Never before has someone been more

Unforgettable

In every way

And forevermore

That's how you'll stay

That's why

Darling, it's incredible

That someone so unforgettable

Thinks that I am unforgettable too.

Matt and Kelly made their way to the dance floor. He wrapped his arms around her waist, and she put her hands on his shoulders. They began to sway. The photographer took a picture of them.

Unforgettable

In every way

And forevermore

That's how you'll stay

That's why

Darling, it's incredible

That someone so unforgettable

Thinks that I am unforgettable too.

Matt let go of Kelly. They returned to their seats.

The reception ended a few hours later.

Maria, Matt, Damon, Stefan, Elena, Caroline, Tyler, Lexi, Jake, Bonnie, Enzo, Cassidy, Peter, and Kelly went their separate ways.

Matt and Maria were in their hotel room.

Maria took the sprig of baby's breath out of her hair and threw it in the trash can. She took the bobby pin out of her hair and put it on the nightstand. She took her necklace off and put it on the nightstand.

"What do you say we start our honeymoon a little early?" Matt proposed, taking his blazer off and hanging it on the coat rack.

"Sounds good to me." Maria said, strutting over to her husband.

Matt grabbed Maria by the face and pulled her towards him, pressing his lips to hers. He grabbed onto her waist and walked backwards until the back of her legs hit the bed. She took off his dress shirt, tossing it on the floor. He undid the zipper of her wedding dress.

Stefan and Caroline were in a forest. They kissed each other passionately. He pushed her up against a tree, and they took turns undressing each other.

Damon pushed the door of his and Stefan's hotel room open as he kissed Elena passionately. Slamming the door shut, Elena used her supernatural speed to pin Damon to the wall, knocking over a lamp. She took off his blazer and dress shirt, tossing them on the floor. He lifted her and wrapped her legs around his waist, turning them around so that she was pinned to the wall. He broke away from the kiss and left a trail of kisses on the side of her neck, rubbing his hands up and down her legs. She moaned, pressing herself against his body.

Elena straddled Damon's body as they laid on top of his bed, clad in only their undergarments. She kissed down his body, creeping closer to his boxers. Damon flipped them over so that he was on top. The two kissed each other all over as they made love.

Damon and Elena collapsed next to each other. They breathed heavily and looked up at the ceiling.

"That was amazing." Elena said, running a hand through her hair.

Damon nodded in agreement, letting out a huff. "Yeah, it was."
