Chapter 4

Again, I don't own any of these characters

Bailey and Cassie went with London back to her suite, where all of them were ready to turn in. Bailey wanted to get as much beauty sleep as she could. She knew Cody would think she looked beautiful regardless, but she wanted to look her absolute best for tomorrow. Of course, even after she turned in for the night, Bailey found she was a ball of nervous energy. She couldn't wait for tomorrow to get there, and she found herself tossing and turning. Suddenly, she wished Cody was there to hold her and soothe her.

She sighed. "Get a hold of yourself, Bailey. You need to get some sleep. You don't want to be known as the bride with bags under her eyes..."

Closing her eyes, she pictured in her mind walking down the aisle and seeing Cody's beaming smile at her. That comforted her. It also comforted her knowing that tomorrow night, she would be spending the night with her husband...her husband! As those pleasant memories flashed through her mind, she was able to find peace, and she finally fell asleep.

Back in Cody's cabin, Zack just smirked as he saw his brother snoring away. Fortunately, he had gotten Cody to help him separate the beds back into twins before he fell asleep. He loved his brother, but had no desire to feel his brother pawing him, trying to spoon him and calling him Bailey all night. And Zack had a method to his madness. He had taken Cody to the Aqualounge for a few drinks for a specific reason. He knew his brother would be a bundle of energy, so he thought a few drinks would help him sleep. And Zack grinned again, he had been correct.

The next morning, both the bride and the groom were allowed to sleep in sort of late. But by ten o'clock, they were up and moving about. London gathered the bridal party and lead them and Melanie to the spa. They were going to get pampered with massages, manicures and pedicures. Their hair appointments wouldn't come until much later.

As they sat there relaxing, Cassie turned to Bailey.

"Have you ever been pampered more in your whole life?"

Bailey smiled. "Once a year I am..."

"Oh yeah?"

"My birthday. Cody spoils me absolutely rotten...even more than usual..."

Cassie laughed. "Have him write down what all he does and give it to Zack..."

Bailey laughed too. "I don't know if you'd like all of it. Cody bathes me from head to toe..."

"And I wouldn't like that why?"

Bailey grinned. "Then he washes my hair and conditions it with pig's milk..."

"Seriously?"

"Yeah...I absolutely love it..."

The guys first step of the day was the ship's barber shop. As their hair would be easier to deal with, they could go ahead and get it done. A stylist would stop by later to do any last minute touch ups and styling. Of course, the barber assigned to Woody just looked at his hair and sighed. He knew he might be there a while.

Around noon, the ladies were served lunch and champagne in the spa. Bailey declined the champagne though.

"This is my wedding day. I want to have a 100% clear head when I say I do..."

The guys were having lunch themselves and having a drink with lunch. Well, all of them except Cody.

"This is my wedding day. I want to have a 100% clear head when I say I do..."

As the ladies continued with their pampering, Zack gathered the guys together.

"Alright, we don't have to be in the groom's changing room until 4:00. That gives us three hours. So, until then, we have one job and one job only!"

Woody turned to him. "What's that?"

"Keep Cody's mind occupied and on anything but his impending nuptials..."

So, the guys took Cody to the miniature golf course for a round before heading to both the bowling alley and the laser tag arena.

The ladies had to be in the bride's changing room by 3:00 so they could have their hair done. So, at 2:00, they left to head back to their rooms to shower up. Once Bailey got back to London's suite, she found a wrapped box waiting for her on her bed. She opened the card and read it.

Bailey,

We knew you needed something new, so what's inside should take care of that.

Love, Mom

Bailey smiled and opened the box. Inside was a a personalize pair of bra and panties for her to wear. They were white silk, and on the back of the panties was embroidered "Cody & Bailey, June 26, 2014". Bailey could only shake her head and laugh. She took the box into the bathroom with her for her shower.

At 3:00, all the girls were freshly showered and met up in the bride's changing room. Immediately, they were all given silk robes to change into. Once they did, all five of them were sitting in chairs with a stylist immediately going to work on their hair. Also at 3:00, on the other side of the ship, the guys all split up to head back to their cabins to shower. Cody grabbed the pair of boxers Bailey had given him for his birthday and headed into the bathroom to get cleaned up.

At 4:00, all of the ladies had finished their hair appointments, and Maria stopped by to make sure everything was on schedule. She had on a head set so she could constantly keep in contact with her employees.

"Well, it looks like we are right on schedule here. All of you look beautiful..." She paused as she was getting a message in. "Good. Excellent..." She turned to Bailey. "The groom and his groomsmen have arrived at the groom's changing room. We are doing great..."

Bailey smiled. She knew Cody would be there right on time. Bailey turned to look in the mirror. She was looking pretty good if she said so herself. Maria snapped her out her own thoughts.

"Alright, lets get you ladies in your dresses and see if we need any last minute alterations."

Back in the groom's room, the guys were all given brand new white undershirts to change into. As they all stood there in their boxers, everyone began laughing.

"Nice boxers, Broseph..."

Cody grinned. "They were a gift from Bailey. I told her I would wear them today."

"Well, they're looking good..."

"They certainly are!"

Everyone turned and saw Kurt and Joe already in their tuxes.

"I should have known my daughter had something to do with those..."

Soon, enough, all of the guys were in their tuxes. The last thing Cody had to do was put on his grandfather's cuff links. Once done, he looked at himself in the mirror. Joe came up and patted him on the shoulder.

"My daughter will definitely approve..."

Back in the bride's room, everyone but Bailey had put her dress on. And the other four all looked absolutely stunning in their dresses. Bailey's dress was brought out and hung up. And by this time, they had been joined in the room by Maggie, Carey, Sarah, Ellie and Bailey's grandmother.

Maggie smiled at her daughter. "Did you get the something new I left for you?"

Bailey smiled and nodded her head. "I sure did, Mom. Thank you..."

"Good. All you need now is something old, something borrowed and something blue..."

Ellie smiled. "She already has something old...Her engagement ring..."

Bailey smiled back at her. "And again, thank you so much for giving it to Cody to use. I absolutely love it and will always cherish it..."

"You are more than welcome. I knew from the day I met you that we would be here one day..."

Carey spoke up. "As for the something blue, Sarah and I have something for you..." She handed Bailey a small gift bag.

Bailey opened it up and found a blue lace garter inside.

Bailey smiled. "Thank you so much!"

Carey smiled back. "Now...if you can get your husband to aim it for his twin brother..."

Everyone began to laugh except Cassie who began to blush.

Bailey's grandmother stepped up. "As for something borrowed, Bailey I would be honored if you would wear these today..." She handed Bailey a large velvet box.

Bailey opened it and was surprised when she saw what was inside. She looked up at her grandmother and had tears in her eyes. "Grammy...Its your pearl necklace and pearl earrings..."

Her grandmother smiled at her. "I think this day is special enough to get them out for..."

Bailey smiled as her tears began to flow. "I would be honored to wear them. It will be a perfect symmetry. Cody is wearing his grandfather's cufflinks and I will wear your pearls. Thank you so much..."

Cassie got up and handed Bailey her handkerchief Cody had gotten her. She turned back to the others. "Good thing she hasn't had her make up done yet..."

Everyone laughed. Maggie happened to notice Bailey's handkerchief. "That looks new..."

Bailey wiped away her tears. "It is. It was a birthday gift from Cody for today..." She showed it to everyone. "He had my new initials, BAM, embroidered on it..."

Carey smiled. "That sounds like my son..."

Back in the groom's room, all of the guys were now fully dressed, even in their jackets. Cody and Zack were standing in front of the mirror as the stylist did one final check of their hair as someone else was pinning on their boutonnieres.

"I have to admit, Codester...I didn't think I would like lavender, but I look good in this..."

Cody just laughed. "I'm glad you approve..."

"And the full vests make this that much better..."

Cody nodded. "I will agree with that..."

"So, all we have to do now is wait for our cue..."

"Yeah...and then I'm getting married..."

Back in the bride's room, Bailey now had her make up done and was in her wedding gown. She was looking in the mirror as the seamstress double checked the dress and someone else helped pin her veil to her head. Once they were done, Bailey turned towards everyone.

"What do you think?"

Everyone just smiled at her.

Maggie dabbed at the tears in her own eyes. "You look absolutely beautiful, honey..."

Carey nodded. "My son is definitely going to approve..."

Bailey just smiled back at them.

Marie finished talking to her employee and turned back to everyone.

"Alright, the guys are dressed as well and ready to go. And the skydeck is filling up with all of your guests. Its almost time..."

Bailey smiled again. "Lets get the show on the road then!"

Maria smiled and nodded. "Alright then. Moms and Grandmothers, time to get you all in place to head down the aisle. Girls, we need you all to be ready to move on my cue to the waiting area at the back of the skydeck..." She pulls up her mouthpiece. "Tell the guys its go time and to go to their waiting area..."

Bailey could feel the butterflies in her stomach. She was moments away from marrying her Cody.

Maria smiled at her. "You ready?"

Bailey smiled. "You have no idea how long I've been ready to do this!"

"Lets go get you married then!"

To be Continued...

Author's Note: I'm taking their wedding seriously, so there will be no almost disasters. I've thrown them through enough of those already. So, if you are waiting for something bad to happen, it won't. Now, moving on, I have already written the first three chapters of the 4th installment. I still have no clue what to title it, but the prevailing thought in my head right now is The Real World: Boston. Something tells me that's been used before though. Anyways, I hope everyone enjoyed the early chapter yesterday. Homecoming was fun until the game started. From the way UK was fumbling the ball all over the field, you would think they had been tailgating all day too.
