Please read and review.

Elizabeth is standing in the bridal suite of the Metro Court, watching the assembled crowd fawn over and assist the beautiful young woman as she preened. There was no doubting her parents; with the blue, blue eyes, long dark blonde hair, sculpted jaw. And not just the look of her father, she had her mother's generous lips, with the apples of her cheeks so prominent they invited biting when she was a baby

The proud mother of the bride glanced at herself in a small, nearby mirror. She never worried about lines or wrinkles, or the silver as it slowly over took the chestnut. She looked at the extra in her hips that slightly padded her small form. She had been married 25 years and she still felt like the girl she had been that long ago.

Her daughter, Jake, sat in front of an elaborate vanity surrounded by hair and make up artists, someone to place her hair ornaments, fasten her jewelry. Her eyes were far off, day dreaming what the rest of the day would be. She turned ever so slightly in the chair and Elizabeth could see herself in the mirror with her girl.

"Mom, what's marriage like? I mean, I know I've watched you and Dad for a million years. But… what's it like after you promise to be together forever?"

Elizabeth smiled and said, "Marriage can be an adventure. There's something new to learn everyday."

One of the hair stylists looked over at Elizabeth and smirked, "Still some excitement for you and the old man?"

Elizabeth wasn't sure if she wanted to laugh or snap at the silly young man.

"Jason and I have a very fulfilling…" she paused trying to decide what to say, …life."

The same stylist grinned at his friend, the make up artist, and said, "Viagra, anyone?"

Jake started to blush ever so slightly, but Elizabeth now had her back up and wasn't going to let some pretentious little... Well, she wasn't going down with out throwing the metaphorical punch.

"Jason has never needed a pill in his life. All of his parts are in full working order."

"Mooooooom," Jake whined, "Please."

"Come on now, Jakie, it's not as if you have virgin ears."

Her daughter looked at her and in all seriousness said, "Mom, I haven't been a virgin for, like, four years. I just don't want to hear about Dad's… parts. Eeew."

"It's no worse than catching your brother with Christina Davis. If she hadn't had her mouth full she would have apologized." Jake looked astounded. "But I'm not sure I needed to know what year you finally let that Jax boy have your virginity. Just promise me it wasn't in the house, like your brother."

"You're saying you couldn't hear us? I mean the neighbors call to complain when you two really get at it."

Elizabeth turned a scarlet red and yelled, "Jake Lila Emily Morgan!" She took a deep breath, willing her blood pressure down, "They did not need to hear that."

"Seriously," the hairstylist piped in.

"Mom, for real," Jake grinned, getting into the teasing. "I want to know… Because me, the sibs and cousins have a standing bet for all family get-togethers."

"What can you possibly have to bet about?"

"On how long you and Dad can keep your hands off of each other."

Her mother had the audacity took look shocked.

"Come on, Mother, give me the inside track. I've been dying to take some money off of Cameron and Spencer. I mean we have it set down to the time, place and how many times you praise the Lord."

Elizabeth glared a second and then decided to turn the teasing around.

"Jake, you and your brother and those cousins are all evil children and if this were not your wedding day I would have your father take those boys out to the back forty and beat them."

Jake tried her best to look precious.

"Why just them, why not me?"

Elizabeth turned a faux-evil grin on her daughter.

"Because your father would never lay a hand on you, my dumpling. We wouldn't want anything to show up in the wedding photos, would we?"

Mother and daughter broke into laughter as the assembled crew, at least the ones who didn't understand the Webber/Morgan sense of humor, looked on in confusion.

"Mom, really, how do you make it last, when it seems like every other human on the planet can't?"

"Part of it is, you never stop trying. If you love someone, you keep trying. Things will get hard, you will fight, you will be angry as hell. But you have to know there is no way you will let it end. If good times outweigh the bad, if love trumps all the uncertainty, you can stay together as long as you live."

Jake turned to the wedding planner.

"How long do we have?"

An efficient, blond woman looked at her palm pilot and said, "Another hour and a half here. An hour at the dresser for the gown. Another hour or so to calm down before the wedding."

Jake rolled her eyes ever so slightly at the roundabout answer.

"So, about three and a half hours?"

"Give or take."

Jake looked at her mother.

"One more time, Mom. Tell me how you and Daddy met."

"Baby, that's a long story…"

"Mommy, it's my wedding day…" she said, stomping her foot and pouting a bit. Elizabeth had a flash from the past and decided to share. "You know, baby, you used to do that exact thing when I would tell you that you had to go potty before going out to play." Jake didn't take the bait. "You have to keep me full of romantic energy until the moment I promise to share my life with my one true love…" she said, voice growing shrill at the last four words.

"Enough, girl, my Lord. Fine. I'll tell you." She paused. "The short version."
