Chapter 6: Let The Planning Begin

May 17, 1912

Jack and Rose put most of their time together towards planning their wedding. They were almost completely done with the planning in a matter of days. They wanted to get married as soon as possible, so they could never be separated.

"Why are you two planning your wedding so quickly?" Jemma asked out of curiosity. The two of them responded with a laugh.

"Why wait?" Jack asked his sister with a chuckle.

"Why rush you have all of the time in the world. I don't think Rose is going to leave you any time soon." Jemma replied.

"Jemma, give up, you're never going to convince them to push the wedding back to a later date." Josephine said with a laugh. "Am I right?" she said asking her brother and soon to be sister-in-law. Both Jack and Rose nodded in agreement with Josephine. "I wouldn't blame them, once they are married they truly can't be separated." Josephine said with a smile.

"I wouldn't want to be separated from Jack, even if we aren't married. I can't imagine my life without him." Rose said as she put her pen down and walked over to hug Jack. Jack felt the same way about her.

"The same goes for me too. I couldn't take my eyes off of her when I first met her." Jack said. "I still can't take my eyes off of her, and I never will." Jack said with a grin. Just then Meredith enters the room with a letter in her hand. The letter was addressed to Jack.

"Jack, I believe this is for you." Meredith said as she handed her son the letter. Jack opened the letter.

Dear Jack,

If you are here or even alive still, I thought you might like to know this. I know you probably don't want to hear anything else about the sinking of the Titanic, but I have some new that you might actually want to hear. Fabrizio is still alive. He survived the Titanic, his name was never recorded on the survivors list. He sent me a letter not that long ago saying he was in Wisconsin. I believe he said he was coming back to Chippewa Falls. Jack can you believe it Fabrizio has come back home to us safe and sound, and I hope you are all right too. I sent this to your house, because I assumed this is where you would be if you survived the Titanic tragedy.

Your friend,

Serafina,

"I can't believe it!" Jack said excitedly.

"What is it Jack?" Rose asked.

"Do you remember Fabrizio?" Jack asked Rose. Jemma looked up and nodded.

"Isn't that your Italian best friend?" Jemma asked.

"Yes, it sure is. Don't you all remember Fabrizio?" Jack asked the rest of his family. Everyone nodded.

"Oh, he's the friends that I met on the Titanic right?" Rose asked.

"Yes, and this letter was from his older sister saying that he's still alive. He didn't die on the Titanic after all!" Jack said excitedly. "And He's back in Chippewa Falls" Jack said happily. "Maybe we can pay him a surprise visit later on." Jack said to Rose. They then grabbed the list of who they wanted at the wedding to show their family.

"Can someone get my mother over here too, I think she needs to be part of this." Rose asked Jade who had just walked into the kitchen.

"Sure, no problem." Jade replied. She then walked out of the kitchen and returned minutes later with Rose's mother.

"Shall we begin going over the list of wedding guests.

"We have Meredith Dawson, Ruth DeWitt Bukater, Jemma, Josephine, Janette, Johanna, Jade, Aunt Meryl and Family, and Molly,...Jack is there anyone else that I'm leaving out?" Rose asked. "Oh, what a stupid question, Fabrizio and his family." Rose said with a smile.

"Yes, I think that is pretty much everyone we want at our wedding." Jack said as he put an arm around Rose's shoulder. "Hey mom, is that everyone?" Jack asked.

"Yes Jack, I believe that is everyone." Meredith said with a smile. "I believe we are pretty much done with the planning. Now all we have to do is find a dress for Rose." Meredith said with a smile.

"Can you believe it Rose we are already done planning our wedding. All we need is your dress and after that all we have to do is wait for the date. No need for a rehearsal it's a really small wedding for friends and family only." Jack said happily.

"Everyone ready to go dress shopping?" Ruth asked. Everyone replied with a nod.
