On the way to Ocanumba, Ty and Amy talked and laughed, trying to let go of their nervousness. After all, they were getting married! Something to be happy about, right?

Amy smiled at Ty, and he laughed. "Why are you smiling?"

Amy's smile grew. "I'm just so happy, Ty. I'm marrying you! We get to spend our lived together!"

Ty smiled back at her. "I would be jumping for joy if I wasn't so nervous," he said gently.

Amy looked at him. "Don't be. Lou will be there for both of us, and Grandpa will help you with your suit. I promise, it will be okay. Just imagine how I feel, stuffing myself into a dress!" she gave Ty's hand a squeeze.

"You're right, it's dumb to be so nervous. But I can't help it. I don't really know what to do."

He gave Amy a sad look, and she laughed. "Look happy!"

He perked up his expression instantly after she she said that, and his green eyes danced again. "I am. Don't worry!"

Amy smiled at him, her face a glow in the setting sun. Ty let go of her hand gently, and turned the steering wheel with both hands. "We made it."

Amy looked at the place she had come to so many times, and felt her eyes grow misty.

"Oh Ty! It's even more beautiful than it was last year!"

Ty smiled. "It is. It really is." He parled the truck and got their bags. "Let's go get our rooms and put these away. Then we can go for a walk."

Amy nodded and walked inside the cabin like building. When Amy had come here, there were no extra rooms for guests. Now they had a place to hold wedding and guest rooms with a honeymoon suite. Amy and Ty had decided on seperate bedrooms until after they were officially married, to keep things morally staight.

After checking in, they took their bags to their rooms and unpacked. Amy hung her dress up behind the door, and Ty put his suit in the little closet. They met in the hall after their things were put away.

Ty grabbed her hand. "Wanna go for a walk?"

"Yeah! Let's go down to the creek. Where you and I used to go to talk when we came here."

Ty nodded. "Okay. Let me grab my jacket." He walked to his room and grabbed his barn jacket. Sliding it on, he noticed Amy didn't have one. "Won't you get cold?" he asked her.

"Naw. I'll be fine." She grabbed his hand again, and they walked through the lodge and to the walking trails. It was autumn, and considerebly colder here than at Heartland. Trying not to shiver, Amy walked. It took them 30 minutes of walking to reach the creek, and Ty sat down on the sandy bank.

"It's still gorgeous," Amy breathed, sitting beside him.

Ty nodded, and noticed the goosebumps on her arms. "Amy-''

She cut him off with a shiver, and leaned next to him. Ty slid off his jacket, and gently wrapped it around Amy. "Here." He put an arm around her.

"No. I didn't bring one. Take it back."

"Amy. Stop being childish! Wear it. It's fine."

She sighed and put her head on his shoulder. "Thanks."

Ty laughed. "So stubborn, Amy. So stubborn." He kissed her on top of her head.

She looked up at him and smiled. "Like my Mom... Oh, Ty! I wish she was here to see us tomorrow!" Tears fell from Amy's eyes as she burried her face into the jacket Ty had put around her.

"Amy... I wish she was, too. But Lou will be here. And Jack. And Ben, Lisa, and so many others. It's okay." He wrapped her up in his arms and tried to soothe her.

"I know. But, Ty... I just wish she was here."

"Me, too."

Amy sighed. "Okay, let's get going back. I'm tired and have more things to get ready."

Ty smiled. "You'll look perfect." Standing up, Ty gave Amy his hand. She grabbed it, and he hauled her up. The two walked in silence to the cabin, imagining everything about their wedding day. Amy looked up.

"Lou's here!" She grabbed Ty's hand and drug him to the Altima in the parking lot.

"Hey! How is everything?" Lou asked, grabbing Amy and hugging her.

"Great!" Ty and Amy said in unision.

Lou laughed. "Good. So let's get this stuff out. And,'' Lou waved a finger in their faces. "NO peeking!"

Ty laughed and grabbed a big box. "Yes'm."

Amy grabbed a smaller one and lugged it to the place where the wedding would be held. "What's in this? Are we building a brick wall?"

Lou rolled her eyes and told Amy there was a perfectly good explanation for the weight of the box. Amy then took her turn in rolling her eyes.

"Okay, all done," Ty said, putting the last box down, brushing off his hands.

"Thanks, Ty. Now you two go do whatever you wanna do. But don't come by this place AT ALL!"

Amy laughed and looked toward the cabin. "How about just watching some TV or something? Just settling down."

Ty nodded and grabbed her hand. "Sure. Let's go to my cabin."

Walking towards Ty's room, they went in and sat on the little couch. Grabbing the remote, Amy put it on a horse channel. Watching the screen, she realized something.

"Ty! That's Heartland's interview! We're on TV!" She jumped up from his shoulder and watched as she and Spartan did Join-up and as Ty gave oils to all the horses. Ty was watching, too, and sat up to get a better view.

After watching it for an hour, Amy looked at the time. "9 'o' clock? Wow! Alright, Ty. I'm going to bed. See you in the morning." She kissed his cheek, and left for her room. When she got there, Lou was on the couch.

"I'm bunking here. Long day getting that set up, and they're out of rooms, so here I am. Grandpa is with Ty, too."

Lou was just babbling, and Amy laughed. "Good deal. So, I'm crashing. Night."

Amy flipped off the lights, and scooted into her covers. She fell asleep, dreaming about the day that awatied her.

Ty, back in his room, was in the dark with Jack on his couch. He had told him goodnight, and was lying there awake, scared to death of the day that he would wake up to tomorrow.

Amy woke up at five in the morning, to find Lou already dressed.

"Why are you up this early?"

Lou was doing her mascara. "Waiting on Ben."

"Ben's not here yet?"

"Nope," Lou said, closing her makeup bag and walking to Amy's bedside. "You ready, Princess?"

Amy nodded. "Yes. Ty and I both are. All ready to roll."

Lou smiled and hugged Amy. "My not-so-little sister. You're growing up!" Tears were forming in Lou's eyes, and Amy grinned.

"Still younger than my old sister!" she shoved Lou and laughed.

Lou laughed too, and then there was a small knock on the door.

"Coming!"

Lou got up and opened the door, and it was Ben. Lou invited him in, and Amy stood up from the bed.

"Ben! I'm so glad you're here!"

She ran across the room and hugged him, Ty's baggy shirt covering her horse pajama pants.

"No problem, Amz. Where's Ty?"

"His room. Two doors down." Amy pointed to the left, indicating that was the way to go.

"Alright. Well, I'm gonna go see him," Ben said, strolling ot of the room.

Amy nodded and turned to the mirror. In six hours she would have to look perfect.

Better start with my hair.

Pulling out a brush, she gently pulled the tangles out and brushed and brushed and brushed...

Ty was pacing his room, his tall figure hunched over with anxiety. His green eyes looked sick, and his face was twisted. Then someone knocked on his door.

NOT AMY! NO!

Trying to make himself look better, he opened the door. But to his pleasant surprise, it wasn't Amy. It was Ben.

"Ben! I-"

"You look aweful, man! What's wrong with you?"

Ty looked at him. "Thanks. Everyone loves to hear THAT on their wedding day."

Ben had sympathy in his eyes as he hugged Ty. "Sorry, but let's face it bud. You look like you've been awake all night."

Ty nodded. "I have. I was throwing up with anxiey attacks, and my eyes are fighting to stay open. My head is spinning, and I can only imagine the things that are going to go wrong."

Ben smiled. "Here, take this." He handed Ty an advil. "It will help your head. And don't be nervous. It's all gonna be okay."

Within the next hour, Ty was better, and he looked like nothing had ever happened.

He had brushed his hair, ironed his tux, cleaned his tux shoes, and done evrything else he needed to. He was officially ready for there wedding. And it was going to happen in just 5 hours.

Amy spent the next three hours getting ready, trying to get her hair brushed, her makeup on, and everything else. It was now 10, only an hour until the wedding.

"Lou! Please come help me!" Amy was on the bed, dragging on her lacey shoes. Lou came into the room, and fixed the little flats onto Amy's feet.

"You look gorgeous, Amy. Your makeup looks great." She looked at her sister with shining, loving eyes.

Amy smiled, and a tear fell. "Thanks, Lou."

Lou grabbed her dress from behid the door, and held it out. "Ready to get into it?"

Amy nodded and stood up. "Yes. Leave me here for a couple of minutes, while you put your's on."

Lou went into the bathroom to get her dress, a light pink and flourescent white that matched the wedding colors. She put the knee-length dress on, and fastened on her heels.

"I'm ready. How about you?" Lou called from the bathroom.

"Ready!"

Lou walked from the bathroom to help Amy zip her dress, to find she really was ready. It was zipped and tied in the back, all ready to go. Lou had curled her hair, and it fell around her face. She was gorgeous.

''How do I look?"

Lou sucked in a breath. "Gorgeous..."

Ty was in his Tux and was walking to the door, with Ben all ready to be his bestman. He looked sharp in his tux with a baby pink bow. Ty's tux looked good, too, his white tie hanging from his neck. Jack was also ready, and was going to stand at Ty's left.

"Let's go." Jack motioned toward the wedding spot, and they walked toward it. Ty got into his postition and waited for Amy to walk toward him, breathing deep and slow.

When she came out, Lou was on her right and Joni on her left, and Amy led the way. She looked beautiful, her boquet of light pink and white roses blowing in the breeze. Lou's white boqet and Joni's pink one just brought the scene together, and Ty didn't feel nervous anymore.

He smiled, and nodded microscopically.

Best day of my life. No doubt.
