Prologue- His Day

"This is it Ryan," Riley told him, patting his shoulders reassuringly. "This is your day. No matter what people say, this is your day to shine."

"Stop over exaggerating," Ryan muttered, loosening his tie a bit. "You're making me nervous."

The twenty-one year old man looked at his reflection in the mirror, the butterflies in his stomach fluttering uneasily. He didn't think he'd wear such a fine, black, expensive tuxedo so soon. He didn't even wear clothes this fancy to work in his dad's big time company, Xander Corporations. It was nerve-wracking to think what came with wearing this tux.

"Having second thoughts?" Riley mentioned, crossing his arms as he inspected the nervous man.

"No, why would I?" Ryan looked at his friend sharply, although in his mind he was thinking again about his decision.

"Hey, it's normal." Riley reassured, shrugging. "I mean, this is your first time down the aisle. Of course you'll be wondering, 'what if?'."

Ryan groaned, turning away from the mirror and his friend, "Stop that! It's only making me feel worse. And it's too late to back out now."

Riley opened his mouth to speak again, but a man poked his head into the room, "Hey, we need to get going, Ryan."

Ryan tensed, his eyes widening. "It's time already?"

"Hurry up! She won't wait forever you know."

"Alright, alright! Just give me a few seconds." Ryan told the man, holding his hand out in 'stop' signal as he ran the other one through his black hair. The man rolled his eyes and left, leaving Ryan and Riley alone again. Ryan took in a deep breath and let it out, staring back at his reflection again. "Okay…I'm ready."

Grinning, Riley thumped his hand on his best friend's shoulder, "Go get 'em, tiger."

-X-x-X-

Ryan took in a deep breath and let it out silently. He nervously clasped his hands together as they became sticky with sweat. The slow piano music was agonizing, but not as agonizing as watching her slowly walk down the aisle, a smile gracing her face as in hand her father led her towards Ryan.

It was excruciating as to how fast, yet slow, things were going. It nearly blew Ryan's mind.

To think that once everything was over, he would have to call her 'Mrs. Xander'. It was both pleasing and frightening. Thoughts raced to his head, mostly circulating around how things would turn out.

Would she run away, scared? Would she say no? What if she tired of him later on in the marriage? Or worse, what if she had another man? The thought of it sent shivers down Ryan's spine.

Ryan looked back at the woman, realizing she had already reached the altar. This was it. The moment of fate had come.

-X-x-X-

"CHEERS!" Everyone screamed happily as they held up their glasses of champagne and juice to applaud the newly married couple.

"And now," Vincent Xander called out into the microphone, his blue eyes twinkling and a wide smile on his face which deceived one of his real age. "My son, Ryan, would like to say a few words."

Everyone quieted as Ryan walked up the stage, confident on the outside but anything but on the inside. He cleared his throat, the glass of expensive champagne still in hand, and spoke, "First of all, I'd like to thank everyone on coming on such short notice. I'd also like to thank those who contributed to making this wedding a success; everything's just wonderful. And most of all…" Ryan trailed off, his eyes searching through the crowd for her eyes.

Once he found her, he settled on them, a serious look in his blue eyes, "I'd like to thank you, Annie." The said girl smiled, and Ryan thought she looked beautiful in her white gown with that angelic smile on her face.

"You made a big difference in my life," Ryan continued. "I mean, without you, James might still be a player breaking poor girl's hearts and innocent, little me would have to witness the horrors of it." The crowd burst out laughing at that as the said man sitting beside Annie blushed.

Ryan smiled, more confident now, "Really, I'm happy James found you. You are the reason he was able to shape up and finally be happy. I find that I'm ecstatic to now call you 'cousin'. Cheers to you and congrats on your marriage!"

Everyone cheered along with Ryan, raising their glasses again.

"And thanks to my best man and cousin, Ryan!" James called out, and everyone once again cheered and raised their glasses before drinking.

Ryan smiled, looking at the happy couple as they mingled and stared at each other lovingly when they could.

Ah, he thought with a sigh, James is one lucky guy.

Refilling his glass, Ryan loosened his tie fully and walked off somewhere. I hope that someday I can be in his shoes.

Ryan finally found a secluded spot away from the noise of the wedding. He sighed again as he sat down on a bench. Looking back at the tent that held the happy couple, Ryan again thought of how lucky James was.

It must be great to finally call the one you love your own. Ryan thought as he turned the glass slowly in his hands, watching the liquid in it move. For me, I'll have to wait a little more. Oh well, what's a few more months to ten years of waiting?

Looking back at the glass, Ryan sighed again. "Cheers," he muttered sadly, downing the drink.

Hehe, I bet I got some you there, huh? ;) Of course I wouldn't make Ryan marry someone else…maybe. :p We'll just have to see now won't we? XD

Darn, I'm so evil…
