A/N: This chapter is POV of Lena and then Tibby.
I stood at the back of the church with my father on my arm. I looked at Kostos. He didn't look at me, but I could see his smile. At just the right time Bridget walked down the aisle followed by Carmen. After a minute, the music started and the congregation stood. I felt my dad pull my arm as he took the first step forward. I walked slowly in step with him and I knew Tibby and her father were behind us. It felt like forever before we were down at the altar of the church. Kostos walked over to us and put his hand out for me to take. Dad kissed my cheek.
"I love you Lena Kaligaris."
"I love you too." He let go of my arm and I took Kostos's hand and we stood on the left side of the preacher. Brian and Tibby would be on the right. I couldn't see Tibby, but I knew she was with Brian now.
"Who gives these women?" The preacher asked.
"We do." My father and Mr. Rollins said. Then they went and sat with our mothers. The preacher looked over at Kostos and myself.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are here today to celebrate the union of Lena Kaligaris and Kostos Dounas, and Tabitha Tomko-Rollins and Brian McBrian. These four young people love each other and want to spend their lives together." He turned to us. "Kostos Dounas and Lena Kaligaris, your families have been here in Greece for years and we're glad to welcome a new generation back to Greece as well as the children you will have." I blushed as a few people clapped. "If you will step up here." I turned and handed my bouquet to Carmen before I took Kostos's hand. We stepped up by the preacher. This would be the day we'd never forget.

I stood in front of the church holding Brian's hand listening to Lena and Kostos's wedding. I squeezed Brian's hand. There were tears in my eyes and his. I knew it was because his mom and dad weren't there to support him; to support us. I lost all track of time by looking into Brian's eyes. I heard Lena say "I do" and I looked over at my best friend who just got married. She's not my Lena anymore. She was Lena Dounas, but I still love her. Finally, it was our turn. I handed my flowers over to Bridget and stepped up to the minister. He wore a suit that was bright blue and made him stand out against everybody else. I was still caught up in Brian's eyes. They sparkled when he looked down at me. I didn't hear anything the minister said. When Brian finally squeezed my hand I said,
"I do!" And everybody laughed.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." Brian leaned down. He put one hand on my waist and one hand against my cheek and kissed me. He pressed his lips to mine and I touched his arm with my hand. "I'd like to introduce Mr. and Mrs. Kostos Dounas and Mr. and Mrs. Brian McBrian. Please give them a round of applause." The people, our friends and family stood and clapped as I walked out holding Brian's arm with Kostos and Lena behind us followed by Bridget, Carmen and Effie. When we got to the reception, everyone came up and hugged us and congratulated all of us. My parents came up and hugged me and Brian.
"I'm so happy for you guys." Carmen said as she hugged us.
"Tib, Lenny; I'll miss you both so much!" Bridget exclaimed as she grabbed a hold of us at the same time. Carmen walked over.
"You can't keep me out of a group hug." Carmen stated. Bridget grabbed a hold of her.
"Carmabelle, we'd never leave you out of anything." Bridget said. Len and Tibby looked around.
"We should be going to see other guests." Lena said.

After the reception, Bridge and Carmen walked over to the bride and groom table.
"I guess this is goodbye. You'll be leaving soon." Tibby looked down at her dress.
"Yeah, I can't wait to get out of this thing. Mom told me I had to keep it on until after the reception. I'm about to go take it off." Tibby glared. Lena fingered the lace delicately.
"I like mine." Lena said quietly.
"Well, this is goodbye." Bridget said when she saw a limo pulling up outside. "Good bye. Have a wonderful honeymoon Lena."
"Our wise and beautiful Lena," Carmen said.
"The one who's never seen a naked guy." Bridget teased and Lena turned blood red.
"Bridget!" Lena exclaimed. Kostos laughed and put his arm around his wife.
"I'm glad to hear that Lena Dounas." He kissed the side of her head. "So I won't have to compare to anything else in your head tonight." Lena blushed even redder. This didn't feel like the end of a friendship; but it was expanding. The group had never had guys before, but why not?
