Okee!! YAY for spacing out in Trig and Latin!! Here's the product ) sigh This was a fun one -D Hope you like it!! If you do, there are TONS of these stories at The Reckless Entanglement board (In the "Stenogropher Notes" section, the link is in my profile.) This story was a "Fic Challenge" -- write about their wedding.
Part One
They wanted to make a statement. They couldn't afford for a single person in town to doubt that this marriage was real. They had invited everyone in Port Charles. And every single one of them was in attendance. No one could believe that the uptight DA and the feisty (but "romance challenged") defense attorney, more often than not the opposing counsel, were getting married. Save a few rare exceptions, not any one of them supported it, really. But they all came anyway, just to see it with their own eyes.
Emily had spent all morning helping Alexis with her hair and make up. She didn't see why she needed to dress up for an occasion that she was bitterly dreading and already bitterly regretting. But it was so fake, it'd fit in perfectly with everything else.
Kristina danced cheerfully down the aisle, but leaving many rose petals behind. She saved them all for the end, where she sat on the floor at Ric's feet and pulled out the rose petals one by one. She held each one close to her face, amazed by the vibrant color. Ric grinned down at her, and suddenly the music changed to "Here Comes the Bride." Everyone turned to look at the door, more just to see if Alexis would actually show up on cue. When she blew them all away by actually appearing, they all immediately stood.
She walked down the aisle way too fast; faster than what was normally accepted. Ric feared that it would be way too obvious that she wanted to get this ceremony over with as soon as possible. But everyone knew how neurotic Alexis was by nature, so it didn't seem so unusual for her to be so "over zealous".
The song wasn't even half over yet by the time Alexis reached the altar. There was an uncomfortable silence amongst the audience as they sat down and as the song carried on even though the Bride Had Already Come.
The organ player looked over at Ric, unsure. Ric moved his index finger swiftly across his throat, and the music promptly stopped, leaving the room eerily silent. Ric surveyed Alexis' attire and shook his head. She saw him out of the corner of her eye and turned her head to stare at him with furious eyes.
"What?" she demanded quietly through gritted teeth.
"Oh, nothing," he said innocently. "I didn't say anything."
"You didn't have to. You're whole demeanor is agitating me, and that usually means that you have something obnoxious to say to me, so out with it."
Several people shifted uncomfortably in their seats. It was going to be a long ceremony.
