Finally it was the day of the rehearsal dinner in 24 hours Audrey would officially be Mrs. Seymour Krelborne.. this was the happiest twenty four hours of her life despite the fact that paying back Orin's looming debt was still over her head.

Everyone had checked into the hotel a day early in which to get acclimated with the area of Coney Island. Seymour was quite impressed with the venue he had chosen for the wedding. It was almost like a castle out of a fairytale book and it over looked the sea. The wedding the following day would be at 4:30 pm at sunset over looking the water.

The reheasrsal dinner was held in the restaurant in the hotel where the reception for the wedding would also be held. Just as Audrey's dad was about to give the opening toast someone from the front lobby wait staff rushed in looking flourished

"Mr. Krelborne, sir there is some one outside in the lobby asking for you and your wife. She mentioned something about a debt. She said it was urgent."

Seymour and Audrey didn't have any idea what was going on and lots of curious eyes were looking at them. They excused themselves and followed the bellhop.

Sitting on a chair in the lobby was a grey haired woman who looked about 55. She looked like she was southern.

"Hello, you must be Seymour and Audrey." The woman said

"Yes, we are. How do we know you?" Seymour looked at her curiously.

"Your lawyer got in touch with me about the debt that you had to pay back from Orin's dental practice. I'm his aunt Edna."

Seymour and Audrey were shell-shocked that one of Orin's relatives was able to track them down.

"Well it's nice to meet you Ms. Scrivello. We were actually just about to begin the rehearsal dinner for our wedding so you caught us at a bad time." Audrey said.

"I won't keep your from your festivities long. I just wanted to find out how much money you've been able to get your hands on so far in order to pay back the debt?"

"So far about $1,500." Audrey said

My family and I have had much discussion and we feel very bad for you that you got stuck with paying back Orin's debt. We would like to pay back the remainder of the debt for you if that's alright."

'They have to be really rich.' Seymour thought to himself.

"Are you sure you're willing to do that?" Audrey asked

"Most certainly. It's no trouble at all. You may not have known this but Orin's family down in the south is really wealthy."

Seymour and Audrey breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you so much. We really appreciate it." Seymour said.

The woman reached in to her handbag and pulled out her check book. She wrote out a check for $12,500 and handed it to Audrey.

This was the best wedding gift they could have ever received.

"Would you like to join us for dinner?" Seymour asked

"I don't want to intrude."

"It's the least we could do since you've been so generous to us." Audrey said.

"Why not?"

Seymour and Audrey got up and Edna followed them. The rehearsal dinner went on flawlessly from there.

The next day was the day of the wedding… the day Audrey had been looking for so long. Nothing could get in the way of such a wonderful day.

That afternoon Audrey's sister and Ronette were in the dressing room helping Audrey get ready for the big moment.

"Audrey, you're going to be a knock out. Seymour will be as blown away by your looks as he was on your first date." Ronette said.

"Yeah Audrey you look so pretty. I hope to look as pretty as that on my wedding day." Debbie said

Audrey looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't help but agree with her best friend and her sister.

"Thanks guys I am so relieved this day is finally here. In a few minutes I will be Mrs. Seymour Krelborne. I couldn't be happier."

Ronette hugged her best friend. "We're all happy for you." She said

There was a knock at the door. It was Chiffon

"Ready to go?"

"Yup."

Chiffon started to walk down the hallway toward the stairs. Debbie, Ronette and Audrey all followed.

The parade met at the bottom of the stairs where Crystal, Laurey, Ado Annie, Annie Darlene and Audrey's father were all waiting.

Audrey's father beamed with pride at seeing his oldest daughter in all her wedding day glory

"Audrey, my love you look gorgeous. I never seen you look so pretty."

Audrey leaned over and kissed her father on the cheek. "Thanks Daddy."

The organ music could be heard starting up in the distance.

"Okay guys line up. You know the order." Instructed Audrey's father

Audrey's father extended his arm and Audrey linked her arm through it.

Seymour anxiously awaited Audrey's arrival at the end of the aisle. Alan could sense his anxiety..

"You've been waiting for this big moment for awhile. Haven't you buddy?" he asked

Seymour smiled at his childhood best friend. "Yup, I've been waiting for this moment ever since I first proposed to Audrey. I've known she was the one for a long time."

Mr. Mushnik smiled at his employee. He was so happy for Audrey and Seymour. They had both been like children to him for the longest time.

Finally all the bridsesmaids were in the respective spots and Ronette and Debbie took their spaces across the altar from Alan and Mr. Mushnik.

Seymour had not seen Audrey in her dress yet and he was awestruck. She looked like a princess. Once she took her place on the alter facing Seymour the ceremony began.

The priest looked at them

"Seymour do you take Audrey to be your lawfully wedded wife.. through sickness and in health and everything in between?"

"I do."

"Audrey do you take Seymour to be your lawfully wedded husband through sickness and in health and everything in between?"

"I Do."

"Do you guys have any vows prepared?"

"Yes sir." They both answered in unison.

They both read their vows to each other.

"Are the rings ready?"

"Yes sir." Ronette handed Audrey hers and Mr. Mushnik handed Seymour his

Seymour took Audrey's hand in his and slipped the ring on to her finger

The pastor said "Repeat after me. With this ring I thee wed."

Seymour looked at Audrey and said "With this ring..I thee wed."

Audrey took Seymour's hand and said. "With this ring.. I thee wed.

"You may kiss the bride."

They embraced and kissed.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I now present to you Mr. and Mrs. Seymour Krelborn."

And the room erupted in much celebrated jubilation.
