Lost in This Moment

A Cody Rhodes Song-fic

Author'a Note: I own Jordan, Charlie, Amy, and Jane, no one else, though I would like to own Cody. The song belongs to the very talented Big n Rich.

Jordan stood in front of the room designated for her and her bridesmaids. She felt like she could barely breathe, and that wasn't only from the corset of her dress.

"You look beautiful," her soon to be father-in-law, Dusty Rhodes, said standing behind her. "I am so honored that you asked me to do this."

Jordan's father had passed away after being hit by a drunk driver a little over two years ago. As soon as Cody had proposed, she couldn't think of anyone she would rather have walk her down the aisle than Dusty. He had been like a second father to her her entire life. He had looked as if he was going to cry when she asked him to do it.

"I wouldn't have anyone else, Dad," she said giving him a hug, as her maid of honor, Charlie, came over to them.

"It's time," she said, holding out Jordan's bouquet.

"You sure you still want to do this?" Dusty asked her. "You're about to become a part of this family for good, not that you aren't already. Doesn't that scare you?"

"Yes, but in a good way."

She and Dusty followed the others out of the room. The doors of the chapel opened and their song started to play. She took Dusty's arm and a deep breath. They had decided to use "Lost in This Moment" instead of the traditional wedding march.

See your mamma and the candles and the tears and roses
I see your Daddy walk his daughter down the aisle
And my knees start to tremble as I tell the preacher
"Don't she looks beautiful tonight?"
All the wonderful words in my head I been thinking
You know I wanna say them all just right
I lift your veil and the angels start singing
Such a heavenly sight, yeah

Amy, one of the bridesmaids, had just reached the front of the church, and Charlie was starting down the aisle. Jordan peeked around the corner and could see Cody. He looked incredibly handsome in his tuxedo. As Charlie reached the front, she felt like she couldn't breathe. This was the moment she had been waiting for since she was sixteen when she'd realized that she was in love with Cody.

"Ready, darling?" Dusty asked.

She smiled up at him, and said, "Of course."

Lost in this moment with you
I am completely consumed
My feeling's so absolute
There's no doubt
Sealing our love with a kiss
Waited my whole life for this
Watching all my dreams come true
Lost in this moment with you

As they made their way down the aisle, Cody had the biggest smile on his face, as he watched his future wife making her way toward him, accompanied by her father. He couldn't take her eyes off her. Jordan looked over at her mom, Jane. She had tears running down her cheeks. Jordan knew how much her mother wished that her father could be there to see his little girl get married, just as much as Jordan did, but he was watching over them somewhere with a smile on his face. He had always liked Cody a lot.

Smell the jasmine floating in the air like a love song
Watch my words draw sweet tears from your eyes
Bow our heads while the preacher talks to Jesus
"Please bless this brand new life"

"Who presents this woman to be wed to this man?" the minister asked as Dusty and Jordan reached the front.

"We do," Dusty and Jane said together.

Dusty let go of Jordan's arm and turned to give her a hug.

"Thank you so much, Dad," she whispered in his ear.

"I love you, darling." He kissed her on the cheek, gave Cody a pat on the back, and went to join Cody's mother.

"You look beautiful," Cody whispered his smile not faltering.

"You look pretty sexy yourself," Jordan whispered back.

"Dearly beloved, we gather here today to celebrate the love of Cody and Jordan. You have come here to share in this formal commitment they make to one another, to offer your love and support to this union, and to allow Cody and Jordan to start their married life together, surrounded by people dearest and most important to them…"

The minister continued. They said their vows, which they had decided to write themselves. Jordan cried as Cody recited his. Charlie and Dustin, Cody's older half-brother and best man, both read something they chose. Charlie read a beautiful excerpt from Khalil Gabran's "The Prophet," while Dustin read a sweet little poem called "To Be with Each Other," by George Eliot. They exchanged their simple white gold rings, said "I Do," and then it was the moment they had been waiting for.

"By the power invested in your love and commitment, and the power invested in me by the state of Georgia, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Cody, you may kiss your bride."

Neither of them hesitated as they closed the gap and shared their very first kiss as a married couple. Everyone laughed when Cody dipped Jordan.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is my great honor and pleasure to be the first to present to you, Mr. and Mrs. Cody Runnels."

The church erupted in cheers and applause as the music started playing again. Jordan and Cody walked back down the aisle, hand-in-hand, receiving congratulations from their friends and family.

They made their way out to the hall to wait for the congratulations and then for pictures. Cody pulled Jordan into a quick kiss while the waiting party filed out behind them.

"I love you, Mrs. Runnels," he said.

"I love you, too, Mr. Runnels." She paused. "You know, that has a pretty nice ring to it."

Cody just laughed and gave her one more kiss as their guests filed out. Jordan glanced at her new husband. All of their dreams had just come true.
