CHAPTER 10
A/N This is the last chapter, guys! L
Sadie soothed out her dress and sighed.
She could not believe that she was nervous.
Leona peeked in and gasped.
"You look so pretty, Sads! My brother's so lucky to have you!"
Sadie thought, 'which one?' but instead she plastered a fake smile.
"Uh-huh. So, um, is it time?"
Leona nodded.
"Yes! Don't be nervous, it will be perfect!"
Sadie nodded, and Leona turned as someone shouted her name.
"Uh, ill get your dad, yeah?"
Without waiting for a reply, she ran off, and Sadie collected her thoughts.
Oh My God, was she seriously going to destroy her mother's last wish?
She couldn't do that.. She couldn't…
She turned pale and groaned as she battled various thoughts in her mind.
Her father came in with a smile.
"Sadie, I know this isn't easy. You're scared, and believe me, this is the last thing I want you to do. But you're so strong…"
His eyes filled with tears, and he took a shaky breath.
"I'm proud of you. I'm so glad to have you as my daughter."
Sadie smiled a little bit, but honestly she felt like crying.
Wow, dad, way to make me feel guilty.
She was just going to have to marry Max, except… wait…
She thought of the insanely crazy idea, but before she could call Mel, her dad pulled her up.
"Come on, Sadie. It's time..."
As they came closer to the doors, panic filled Sadie.
"Dad, wait."
"What, sweetheart?"
"What was my mother's last wish? Word for word?"
Julius frowned.
"Well, she wanted peace between the two houses through a marriage…."
Sadie felt a real smile creep up on her face.
"That's it? No names?"
Julius looked at her.
"No, why?"
Sadie shook her head and dragged him towards the chapel.
~~~~~~~~~~~ during vows~~~~~~~~~
The priest droned on and on as Sadie caught Walt's eye and blushed.
" At this time, I'll ask you, Max, and you, Sadie, to face each other & take each other's hands.
Max, will you take Sadie to be your wife, your partner in life and your one true love? Will you cherish her friendship and love her today, tomorrow and forever? Will you trust and honor her, laugh with her and cry with her? Will you be faithful through good times and bad, in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?"
Max took a deep breath and glanced at Mel.
"Uh, I do."
The priest nodded.
"Sadie, will you take Max to be your husband, your partner in life and your one true love? Will you cherish his friendship and love him today, tomorrow and forever? Will you trust and honor him, laugh with him and cry with him? Will you be faithful through good times and bad, in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?"
Sadie was quiet.
"Uh, I guess so… I do.."
The priest smiled.
"Well, If there is anyone who objects to this union; please speak now or forever hold your peace."
Sadie looked around the room.
Please, Walt please, Mel.
Suddenly a voice came out.
"I OBJECT!"
Everyone turned to look at the source of the sound and were shocked to see…
"Carter?"
Sadie looked confused. Julius got up too, along with Max's father.
"What is the meaning of this?"
Carter took a deep breath.
"Look, I'm no fool. I know that Sadie and Walt have a thing for each other. And so do Mel and Max. Dad, Sir, the last wish was to have a wedding to make peace. The bride and groom weren't really specified, were they?"
Sadie came to his side.
"No, they weren't."
Carter looked at Walt.
"Walt, will you marry my sister NOW?"
Walt smirked.
"Wow, demanding much? But yes, I have no problem."
As soon as the priest said that Walt may kiss the bride , Sadie was swept in a 4th of July fireworks show. As she kissed her husband ( so it was Sadie Stone now…..) Sadie smiled, because for once, everything was PERFECT.
