It has been awhile since I updated, but unfortunately life got so busy (as many of you can understand) and I've had NO time to write. :O...But it's officially summer and I am excited to return to this fanfic because I'm really having a blast writing this. I've have been painstakingly working on the next chapters after this. You guys will enjoy what is in store for Cat and Bones leading up to the wedding and on the day of it. It will be lots of crazy and wild but memorable times for Cat, Bones, and their wedding guests.

I hope ya'll enjoy the chapter 2 of An Unforgettable Day. I'm always glad to hear your thoughts and opinions. Thank you all for reading my story and sticking with me. Enjoy! R&R!

~Cat~

Wow, all those months I stressed to plan everything for my wedding from the location to the flowers to the dress. I have lost much sleep to make sure every detail of this wedding would be perfect and go off without a hitch. Luckily, I don't have to worry about a large guest list since Bones and I had decided to have a small private ceremony with our close friends and family. Well, there are two exceptions to the close friend and family invitation. Tina, Kira's younger sister, and her lover, Gorgon, will be attending the wedding festivities. This year seems to be a year of weddings. Kira and Mencheres got married three weeks before my friend, Denise, got married to Spade. Now it's my turn.

Bones and I had some difficulty deciding of the location of the wedding ceremony and reception. We wanted a location that was meaningful to both of us. We contemplated this for weeks. Paris was nearly the location, but then every time I thought about it I had recurring nightmares of the Gregor. London sounded lovely since it was where Bones lived most of his life. Bones repeatedly insisted that he didn't want to be reminded of his days as a gigolo and thief. The same went for Australia which only held painful memories for Bones. I didn't want to return to my hometown back in Ohio. My grandparents were viciously murdered in my old house. It was almost impossible to think of a location we had ties to that weren't linked to bad memories or painful pasts.

Then, we had a breakthrough. Bones and I mused on the many wonderful memories of the seven years we had been dating. Despite all the tumultuous times in our dysfunctional and unconventional relationship, there have been many joyous moments. Ironically, the cave was a meaningful place to both of us. We both seem to distinctly remember that our relationship started the day we met in that cave. Also, it was where Bones and I first had sex. Therefore, it was the perfect location for the wedding ceremony and reception.

The wedding theme revolves around the colors red and white. It was a mixture of traditional and contemporary. Since I am unofficially known called "Red Reaper" in the supernatural world, the color red was quite appropriate and fitting. Luckily I was able to find a wedding dress that incorporated red and white. It was an arduous task. After browsing more than ten bridal stores, I had found the dress. Keeping with my wedding theme colors, Denise thought the flower arrangements should be white lilies and blood-red roses.

I could not have planned and prepared this wedding without my best friend. I was never a girly girl when I was younger. Unlike most young girls, I never spent much time dreaming of my wedding day or played dress-up. I had my own personal and family problems to deal with growing up that I cannot recall many happy memories in my childhood. Denise had made this entire process simple and not as stressful as I though it would be.

To decorate the cave, it was a difficult challenge for Denise and me. At first, the notion of having a wedding ceremony in the cave sounded ideal for Bones and me. Though, I didn't realize how challenging it would be to decorate and completely transform this dark, desolate cave. I had my work well cut out for me. We drafted several blueprints of possible decoration schemes. Many of those sketches and blueprints were scraped. It would either be too elaborate or tricky to get the supplies here. Also, some design blueprints were too plain. The cave has to be magnificent and very colorful but at the same time creating a romantic atmosphere for the wedding ceremony. Finally, Denise and I managed to create a blueprint that fit our criteria and was plausible to transport the materials here without drawing too much suspicion. Now, I had to figure out where to hold the reception after the ceremony.

~Bones~

I feel useless. Not knowing how to help out my kitten with the wedding planning. She swears that she doesn't need any help because Denise has been more than resourceful. Also, Cat mentioned something about a pact her and Denise made years ago. Women. I still don't understand these intriguing species yet, even after more than two hundred years of being undead.

Anyway, I had to do something productive even if it didn't pertain to the wedding. It seems the Cat and Denise have gotten is all under control. All the spare time has left me loads of time to reminisce into my past. Lately, I am missing the days of my former profession when supernatural beings contacted me to professionally take out vampires. Of course, my hitman services didn't come at a cheap fare. I had contemplated of doing at least one hitman assignment for the past two years now. Just for the hell of it and for old time's sake. Though being a ruler of my own line and co-ruler of Mencheres's line, it keeps my schedule jam-packed and busy leaving no room for a side hitman assignment.

Now, it seems the only way to keep me occupied is by helping Don, Cat's uncle, help train his new recruits. I enjoy training newbies. They are so cocky and full of themselves thinking they are invincible and can do anything. It is fun to see the shocked looks on their faces when it dawns on them that I can damn well beat them to a bloody pulp without flinching or breaking a sweat. It may sound sadistic, but I haven't survived more than two bloody centuries being a pacifist. Don was actually surprised when I offered to help him to train the recruits. It isn't easy to surprise that old bastard. Our conversation went something like this:

I decided to call Don and tell him about the new proposition I had for him.

Ring. Ring. "Hello? Bones?" Don barked hoarsely, from all the years of smoking. "I never expected you to call here."

"Cat has completely shut me out of the wedding planning. Therefore, it leaves me with nothing to do! Mencheres has given me told me not to worry about anything dealing with my usual business. You know since I am co-ruler of his line. I have absolutely nothing to keep me from bashing my head against a wall from this miserable boredom." At this point, I had been going mad for at least a week, so bashing my head against a wall sounded like a lovely idea.

"And this is important to me why," he said unamused.

"Savor this moment, Don. I, Bones, have a proposition that can save my sanity and benefit you."

"Hmmm. Go on." There was slight intrigue in his voice.

"Now, what I am about to say is not to ever be mentioned to Cat. There will be painful consequences if you tell her about this proposition."

"Okay, I understand," he said sounding bored at this point. "Now, can you please get to your damn point!" Don was starting to lose his patience.

I distinctly recall him hysterically laughing then saying, "Did hell freeze over? Or did you just offer to help me train these newbies? Are you sure Cat didn't put you up to this?"

I was starting to lose my patience with Don and his smart-ass comments. "I don't have time to hear you sarcastic comments. Now, what do you say about my proposition?"

"You can be a major pain in the ass and cocky bastard, but you are one the best person who can knock some sense into those arrogant newbs," he said with a hearty laugh.

Bones had gotten the answer he was looking for.

Basically, I've gone for several hours everyday training these new recruits. It has been bloody fantastic watching them squirm under pressure as I keep guessing their next moves in a fight. Almost two hundred and twenty years of being a vampire has taught me how to guess your opponents next moves. A panicked look stays on their faces as they stress about ingenious moves that will surprise or throw me off. This has yet to occur. I've thrown so many insults and foul language at them to help motivate them. It actually works. They won't be easily glamoured by vampires. After learning very useful information about vampire and ghouls along with their strengths and weaknesses, the newbs will not fall for those myths about these supernatural beings that plague modern-day literature and movies. Overall, the recruits will be in excellent condition after I whip them into shape with my intensive training. Cat, my fiancée and soon-to-be wife, was my first student I trained and she turned out to be a ruthless and effective vampire huntress. Thus, my intensive and exhaustive training has proven successful and will fully prepare them for what they will face when they encounter vampires and ghouls. This has really helped to occupy my time these past couple weeks.

Only couple weeks till I marry my kitten. It's been a roller coaster ride these past seven years of our unconventional relationship. It was bloody worth it though.

~Cat~

Its ironic how it is that I end up marrying the same damn bloodsucker I met that fateful day in that cave seven years ago when back then I would rather have been dead than ever have any association with him. Somehow despite all the drama and heartbreak, it all worked out in the end. I never imagined I would fall in love with Bones. When you find your soul mate, no matter what storms you may face you can endure and overcome them all. True love conquers all.

Note: Chapter 3 should be posted sometime next week! Stay tuned! Just wandering, who do ya'll think are coming to the wedding? How many? The person who guesses correct will get a little sneak of the next chapter.
