Who's Getting Married?
Part Four: the Wedding Day from Hell

Okay, so basically, it's the wedding day from Hell. The bride is pregnant, the groom is missing, the maid of honor's shoes are ruined, and the best man has a horrible haircut. I'll start at the beginning.

It all started about…whenever it was (they don't really tell me these things) when it came out that she was pregnant. She told her mom, who insisted she marry the father. His parents went berserk, too, and insisted that said wedding be this summer, which didn't really give us time to prepare for it. It was a sad, sad state of affairs, and just bad in all senses of the word. So, we've managed to pull it off, and here we are, just hours before the wedding, and Taylor's shoes are ruined. Turns out that a bottle of perfume got all over them and turned them a funny color. I think someone's gone to get new ones, or maybe she'll just go without them. I don't know, they're not really keeping me in the loop. That's basically all the background information you need, oh, except for Sharpay and Ryan skipped town right after graduation to go to New York and no one's seen them since. It's just not good.

So, anyways, as the wonderfulness that is supposed to be a wedding is quickly evaporating, there are things to be thankful for, like children, and shoes, but now is not the time. Now is crunch time. Gabriella's busy being sick in the bathroom, and she does not look good. Her mother says that she better not get anything on her dress because it was expensive. Sharpay probably would have thought it cheap, but it was the Montez's.

They're telling me to put on my bridesmaid's dress. It's purple. I never really liked purple all that much, being a blue fan, but it's an okay purple. At least it's not an ugly purple. It's purple like…purple purple. That makes a lot of sense.

I finish getting dressed, and they're whisking me off to another room to do my hair. It's not like I'm that important. Just a bridesmaid. They put my hair up with flowers, and I have to admit, it's really pretty.

Oh, I've yet to cover why the groom is missing. I think he might have gone to get Taylor's shoes, I'm not exactly sure. He had been gone a while, though. Maybe he got lost. Maybe he skipped town as well. Hmm.

Okay, now they're telling me that I have to go help the pianist set up the piano outside in the area where the ceremony will happen. Since when did I move pianos? Since never. Anyways, it's hard work.

I finish with that, and it's only an hour until the wedding. I'm starving, but they won't let me eat anything, because they're afraid I'll get it on my dress. I tried pouting, but it didn't work. I should have figured as much.

Taylor finally has her shoes, but there's work to be done, especially in the tuxedo department. The guys really suck at tying ties. I help them, and then go to see how Gabriella's doing. When I walk in, she's talking with Taylor in the bathroom adjacent to the room, so I just eavesdrop. Then my mouth drops open. I must have heard wrong. I just walk out of the room again, and knock.

The wedding's finally begun, and Gabriella is a vision in…white? That doesn't seem right. I believe I remember her strictly telling her mother she wouldn't wear polka dots. Anyways, the sun is setting as the wedding begins, and it's beautiful. The priest drones on and on and on and on and blah, blah, blah, and eventually the wedding is over, and all I had to do was stand there.

Troy and Gabriella lead the way to the big white tent set up behind the ceremony area, and I follow with Jason, as Taylor does with Chad. Gabriella looks on the verge on tears, which could have been due to the fact that she just got married. Troy looks equally happy, but then, he just got married as well.

The reception is great, but the only thing on my mind is what I overheard Gabriella and Taylor talking about. Troy isn't the father of the baby.Ryan is.

A/N: Okay, explanation time! Sorry this is a little random. Technically, it's a Troyella wedding (ick, I know, sorry) but it's the wedding scene from an upcoming fic I'm writing, where it's five years in the future when Ryan and Sharpay return from New York to find Gabriella and Troy married with two kids, and Ryan tries to win her back. They are his kids, after all. This wedding takes place in the summer after graduation from high school, and is in Kelsi's point of view, which is something new that I'm trying. It's in the present tense, which sounds a little weird when I'm writing it, and even weirder when I'm reading it, but it works, I think. Oh, and I don't really think that Chad has a bad haircut, but Kelsi probably does.

I don't own HSM or Friends (some of you Friends fans might recognize the "the bride is pregnant, the groom is missing" quote) or anything else. Thanks for reading, and please review.
