Chapter 9: I Will Never Let Go

June 2, 1912: The Dawson's Backyard

The big day was finally here, it was Jack and Rose's wedding day. It wasn't going to be a very big wedding, and it was going to be held in the Dawson's backyard. It was mostly family attending and a couple of Jack and Rose's friends.

"I cannot believe you are already getting married, Rose." Ruth said as she was tightening Rose's corset. "I'm so happy for you and Jack!" Ruth said excitedly

"You don't know how much your approval means to us." Rose said happily as she let out a sigh of relief as her mother finished tightening the corset. She was in that wedding dress in no time.

"I really love that dress on you." Jemma said with a smile. "Now that you are dressed let's do your hair and makeup." Jemma said happily.

"I don't want anything too drastic with the makeup." Rose said with a frown. "I want it to look natural." Rose said.

"I can do that for you." Janette said with a smile.

"While Janette does your makeup, I can fix your hair." Jemma said. "How would you like your hair?" Jemma asked. Rose had to think about that for a few minutes. Rose finally made up her mind on how she wanted her hair.

"I want my hair loose. I don't want a big fancy up do or anything like that." Rose said with a smile.

"I know exactly what I'm going to do." Jemma replied as she started to brush Rose's long red hair. Jemma took advantage of how curly Rose's hair was and worked with it.

"I can't wait!" Rose said happily. "It's killing me to be away from Jack all day though." Rose said with a frown.

"And it's killing him too." Meredith said with a laugh as she walked into the bathroom joining the rest of the women helping Rose get ready. About an hour later, Rose was all dressed and made up for her wedding.

"Rose you look beautiful." Johanna said as she walked back into the room with the rest of the women.

"Yes, she does." Ruth said almost in tears already.

"Let's get her outside, I think we have kept Jack waiting long enough. We don't want him to think his bride ran away." Meredith said.

"I don't even want to think about how sad he would be if he ever lost you, Rose." Jade said.

"He would be devastated, and would probably leave again." Jemma said with a frown.

"We don't want that happening again." Meredith said.

"Why are we talking about this?" Rose said with a frown. "I'm not going anywhere. I'm never going to be separated from Jack again. I can't imagine my life without him." Rose said dreamily as she walked out of the house. She looks straight ahead and she sees Jack straight ahead. Everyone stood as they saw her walking to Jack. Rose couldn't be any happier, she had all that she wanted.

The wedding wasn't big at all, and it was in the Dawson's backyard. Jack and Rose didn't have enough money to have an extravagant wedding like Rose would have had if she had married Cal. She didn't have over 500 guests attending her wedding. The only people attending the wedding were the ones that mattered. Jacks sisters were the bridesmaids. Jack only had two groomsmen and he could care less. Fabrizio was his best man.

The priest had started speaking, and everyone listened. It felt like an eternity to Jack, because he couldn't kiss his bride until they said their I do's, and it didn't sound like the priest was getting any closer. Finally the moment came.

"Do you Jack Dawson, take Rose DeWitt Bukater as your wife?" The priest asked.

"I do." Jack said in a serious tone.

"Do you Rose DeWitt Bukater, take Jack Dawson as your husband?" The priest asked Rose.

"I do." Rose replied as tears started to form in her eyes.

"Jack, you may now kiss the bride." The priest said with a smile. "I know you have been waiting all day to do this." The priest said with a laugh. Jack did not hesitate, he and Rose shared a very passionate kiss.

"I love you Jack." Rose said dreamily.

"I love you too Rose." Jack replied as he kissed his wife again.

"I now present to you Mr. and Mrs. Dawson." The priest said happily as they walked down the aisle. Everyone stood up as they walked out. Ruth was in tears as she watched her daughter walk by.

Jack and Rose walked to the nearby table with their wedding cake on it. The cake wasn't and enormous three tiered cake, but it was more than enough for all of the guests to have a piece. So Jack cut the first piece of cake and fed it to her he purposely got icing on her face.

"You're so rude!" Rose said with a laugh as she shoved a piece of cake in Jack's face. "Who's the rude one now?" Jack said with a chuckle.

"Look at those two. I don't think anyone can be more in love than Jack and Rose." Fabrizio said to Jemma.

"I agree." Fabrizio replied.

"Oh how rude of me, I didn't even introduce myself." Jemma said with a frown. "I'm Jemma Dawson, I'm Jack's oldest sister." Jemma said introducing herself to Jack's best friend.

"I'm Fabrizio De Rossi." Fabrizio said as he shook Jemma's hand.

Rose and Jack noticed this from across the yard. They then looked away so Jemma and Fabrizio would keep talking. They were too deep into their own conversation to even notice Jack and Rose looking at them.

"I think someone's in love." Jack said with a chuckle. Rose nodded in agreement.

"I think Fabrizio is falling in love with Jemma." Rose said happily.

"He's just what Jemma needs." Jack said with a laugh. "Oh, and by the way, I have something I want to tell you." Jack said.

"We are going to Santa Monica!" Jack said happily. "I have been putting some of the money I earned at work aside for this, and both of our mothers' put some money towards this trip as well." Jack said happily.

"Oh my Jack, I don't know what to say. I'm so excited, I can't wait." Rose said excitedly. Just then Meredith walks up to Jack and Rose.

"I packed both of your bags for the trip. You might want to grab them soon, you wouldn't want to miss your train now would you?" Meredith said. So both Jack and Rose went grab their things and headed out. Everyone was cheering and congratulating them as they were leaving the house to go to the train station. They finally made it to the train station an hour after leaving the house.

"Can you believe it Rose, we're married!" Jack said happily. Rose just pulled Jack into a hug.

"Nothing can separate us now, we are together forever." Rose said as she kissed Jack. "I am the luckiest woman alive." Rose said.

"And I'm the luckiest man." Jack said cheerfully. "I'm king of the world!" Jack said loudly. "I'm now married to the most beautiful woman in the world." Jack said as he put his arm around her shoulders.

"Jack, I love you." Rose said.

"I love you too, Rose." Jack said as the two of them boarded the train.
