Chapter 10

Angelina and Matt headed out of their room and down to the main floor. There was a jewelry store near the wedding chapel so Matt and Angelina ducked in there to buy the rings. Matt found the perfect wedding set for Angelina and they managed to find matching wedding bands. After making their purchase, Matt stuck the rings in his jacket pocket and they headed over to the chapel.

"How can we help you?" the receptionist asked.

"We would like to get married tonight if possible." Matt answered in a low voice.

"Ok. I take it you're trying to keep it a secret. Come back at 9pm and we will have everything set up for you. Do you have witnesses?" the receptionist asked.

"Great. That gives us a few hours. No we don't. Is that going to be a problem?" Matt answered.

"Nope. We can provide two witnesses for you. Just fill this sheet out and we will take care of the rest." the receptionist responded.

"Ok. See you at 9." Matt stated as he finished filling out the sheet with Angelina.

After they left the chapel, Matt and Angelina decided to head out for a few hours and see about getting some nice wedding clothes. One of the stores they found had a decent selection of formal ware and they were able to find the perfect outfits. After eating a quick dinner, Matt and Angelina changed into their outfits and headed down the to chapel.

Making sure that no one was around to see them, Matt and Angelina sunk into the chapel and everything was set up for them. Angelina was taken into a separate room where she was given a veil and flowers. Meanwhile Matt was taken into the chapel and was standing at the front of the alter. Once the music started playing Angelina made her way towards the alter. The minister said his statements while Matt and Angelina exchanged their vows and rings. Twenty minutes later, they were husband and wife.

"You may now kiss the bride." the minister told Matt.

Matt pulled Angelina closer and kissed her as passionately as the night of their first kiss. Once their kiss broke, the minister told them they were now husband and wife. The marriage certificate was signed and notarized before Matt and Angelina left. They peeked out the door to make sure that no one was around.

Once they were sure it was clear, they left the chapel and headed towards the elevators and up to their room. Matt stopped at their door and after opening the door, he lifted Angelina up into his arms and carried her into their suite bridal style. Matt then put the Do Not Disturb sign up and then closed and locked the door.

"Well, Mr. Hardy. What shall we do?" Angelina asked with a bright smile.

"I think that we should have some Champaign and celebrate, Mrs. Hardy." Matt answered.

"I like that idea." Angelina stated.

Matt and Angelina spent the rest of the night celebrating their marriage. Matt was as happy as he could be. He was finally married to a wonderful woman, and she was ready to give him a family. What more could he ask for.

That Tuesday, Matt and Angelina walked into the arena hand in hand. Matt had called Vince and told him that he needed to talk to him. After finding Vince's office, Matt knocked on the door. They waited patiently for someone to open the door.

"Matt, Angelina. Please come in." Stephanie stated as she opened the door.

"Thank you." Matt responded.

"Can can I help you today?" Vince asked.

"I need to change my W-4." Matt answered.

"Ok. Here you go." Vince responded as he handed Matt the correct forms.

"Thank you." Matt stated.

"Is there anything you need to tell us? You know that we keep things private. What is said in here stays in here." Stephanie asked.

"Angelina and I got married two nights ago." Matt answered as he filled out the forms.

"Well, congratulations." Stephanie stated with a warm smile. "Welcome to the WWE family, Angelina."

"Thank you." Angelina responded.

"Yes, congratulations to you both." Vince stated.

"Thank you, sir." Matt responded handing him the form back.

Matt and Angelina left Vince's office and headed towards Matt's dressing room. There were a few people who stopped what they were doing when they saw Matt holding Angelina's hand as they walked down the halls.

"What is everyone looking at?" Amy asked from the back of the small crowd.

"It was nothing important." Maria answered as she walked away.

"Right." Amy stated as she walked into the women's locker room.

Meanwhile, Matt and Angelina were sitting in his dressing room when there was a knock on the door. Matt got up and answered the door to reveal Jeff and Beth on the other side. Once they were inside, Matt closed and locked the door again.

"Why are you guys hiding out in here?" Jeff asked.

"Didn't want to be bothered by the other stars." Matt answered.

"Gotcha. I haven't seen you two all weekend. How are things going for your comeback match?" Jeff asked.

"We've been busy. Everything is going good. I need to walk out to the ring and announce my comeback to everyone. Will you two stay here with Angie while I'm out there?" Matt answered.

"Cool. Yeah. But we might head over to catering to watch the show. Better TV and more room and lots of food." Jeff responded.

"Alright. Just keep an eye out for Randy just in case. I know we have the restraining order, but that doesn't mean he will obey it." Matt stated.

"Don't worry, Matt. I will be fine with Jeff and Beth." Angelina responded.

"Ok. I've gotta go. I love you." Matt stated.

"I love you too." Angelina smiled at Matt.

As Matt made his way out to the ring, Jeff, Beth and Angelina headed over to catering. Amy saw Angelina walking with her former family and wondered who she was. She didn't think that Matt would have moved on so soon after their breakup. Amy decided to follow them into catering.

"Hi Jeff, Beth." Amy stated.

"Amy." Jeff responded.

"What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be on RAW?" Beth asked annoyed.

"I heard that Matt was making his comeback and I wanted to be here to see if I could apologize to him for what I did." Amy answered.

"Apologize? You took his heart and crushed it. You did things to him that no one should have to go through." Jeff stated. "And I really don't think that he wants to see you or hear from you again."

"I know what I did hurt him, but I need to make amends with him so that I can move on. Adam left me last week and in order for me to be me again, I need to do this." Amy stated.

"I really don't think that's a good idea." Angelina stated.

"And who are you?" Amy asked.

"Angelina and that's all you need to know." Angelina answered.

"Well, Angelina, unless you know the whole story I would suggest you butt out." Amy snapped.

"Leave her alone." Jeff snapped back.

"What's that on Matt's hand?" Amy asked as she looked at the TV screen that had a close up of Matt.

"It looks like a wedding ring." Maria stated from behind them.

Oh no. He forgot to take off his wedding band before going out there. Our secret is blown for sure. Angelina thought as she waited for someone to say something to her.

"He probably just forgot which hand to put his ring on. I know that there is no way that Matt is married." Beth stated. "At least no without us knowing."

Jeff and Beth tried their best not to look at Angelina as it would give away that Angelina and Matt were there together. After Matt came back from the ring, he found Angelina, Jeff and Beth still in catering. Jeff told him about Amy being there and what she said. Matt stated that he wanted nothing to do with Amy.

Later that night, Matt had his first match against MVP and won. Angelina congratulated him once they were back in his dressing room. After Matt showered and changed, he packed up his stuff and they headed towards catering to get Jeff and Beth. Just as they were getting ready to leave catering, Amy walked back into the room.

"Hello Matt." Amy stated.

"What do you want?" Matt asked as he held Angelina's hand tighter.

"I just wanted to apologize for the way I acted and the way I treated you." Amy stated.

"I don't want to have anything to do with you. Now leave me and my family alone." Matt snapped as he tried to leave with everyone.

"So why is there a ring on your left hand?" Amy asked slyly.

"That is really none of your business." Matt answered as they finally left the room.

Once they got to the car, Jeff had to ask the same question Amy did. Matt just blew it off as he put the ring on the wrong hand. He didn't want to tell them that he and Angelina had gotten married until they were both ready to tell everyone. Matt drove back to the hotel where they all changed clothes and got ready to grab something to eat. While Matt and Angelina were getting changed, Matt had to ask Angelina about telling everyone.

"When do you want to tell everyone about us getting married?" Matt asked. "I really don't want to hide it from my family. After all Vince and Stephanie already know."

"Why don't we tell them at dinner. I don't want to hide it either." Angelina answered.

"Ok. We'll tell them tonight. Are you ready to go Mrs. Hardy?" Matt stated as he smiled at his wife.

"Ok. I am ready Mr. Hardy." Angelina responded with a smile.

Matt and Angelina headed downstairs and waited for Jeff and Beth to join them. Once everyone was together, they headed to a nearby place to eat. After they were seated, Angelina gave Matt that go ahead and tell them look.

"There is something that Angelina and I need to tell you, but you can't say anything to anyone else. At least not until we tell Dad, Bella and Angie's parents." Matt stated.

"What's up, Bro?" Jeff asked concerned.

"Remember you asking me about the ring earlier?" Matt asked.

"Yeah." Jeff answered.

"Well, truth be told, two nights ago, Angelina and I eloped when we got here." Matt responded.

"You what?" Jeff asked not sure if he heard his brother correctly.

"Angelina and I are married." Matt answered.

"Wow. Congratulations!" Jeff stated.

"Thanks." Matt responded.

"So, you are officially a Hardy now." Beth stated.

"Yup and I am on cloud 9." Angelina responded.

"Can I see the ring?" Beth asked excitedly.

"Sure." Angelina answered as she held out her left hand.

"Matt did very good." Beth stated after looking at the ring.

Now that the big news was out of the way, everyone enjoyed their dinners and were finally able to relax. That is until Amy and her friends walked into the restaurant. As Amy walked past their table, she said something that really upset both Matt and Angelina.

"Wow. That's a new low, even for you Matt. Dating a ring rat." Amy commented.

"Shut up Amy! I want you to leave me and my wife alone. Do you understand me?" Matt snapped.

"Wife? You're married? Yeah I understand. You'll never hear from me again." Amy responded with tears in her eyes as she walked away.

Matt, Angelina, Beth and Jeff finished their meals and headed back to the hotel to celebrate. After drinking and watching movies for most of the night, Jeff and Beth headed back to their room while Matt and Angelina decided to enjoy another night of celebrating alone in their room.
