A/N: Please review to let me know what you think.

I still hadn't figured out what Jackson's surprise was yet and it was aggravating me tremendously. It was 7:48 am on Saturday the 18th of October. I was standing in the kitchen pouring coffee when Jackson padded in from the bedroom, looking amazing as usual, he could be so perfect it was just frustrating.

'Well,' I stated questioningly.

'Well what?' He raised an eyebrow at me.

'Are you going to tell me what this surprise is?'

'No. I'm going to let you stay mad at me until we get to it because you find it impossible to be mad once you find out what I've been planning.'

'AAGGHH,' He was lucky there were no more pillows within my reach.

'Go and get dressed and all will be revealed.'

'You suck when you try and be funny.' I pouted at him as I stalked back into the bedroom and threw on some clothes which accentuated my tiny waist. My signature locket was a comforting weight hanging around my neck. I left the apartment and we drove into the center of Seattle close to the Harbour. Jackson took my hand and led me into a cute little bakery. Just as I was glancing at him with a quizzical view my phone started to ring. I looked at the screen and saw that it was Jennifer, my best friend from college who happened to be British and living it up working at the London museum and partying every weekend. I answered the call.

'Right on cue Jen.'

'Good to talk to you too Ams, how is the recovery coming along?' I could almost hear her grinning as she spoke with a joking tone which made me suspicious.

'Great, the stitches are out and I can hide the scar with makeup.'

'So how is the wonder boy going? Are you painting the nursery yet?' She thought it was absolutely hilarious that I was settling down while she was partying harder than ever.

'We're fine, although Jackson is currently trying to surprise me with something that I am not too excited for.' I heard the bell to the door on the bakery ring as someone came inside but didn't bother to look.

'Now is that any way to talk about your best friend?'

'What?' Now I was getting more confused by the second.

'Turn aroud you idiot.' I turned around and my jaw nearly hit the floor. There she was. Jennifer was standing right in front of me. We squealed like we were still in school and wrapped each other in a huge hug. I turned to Jackson.

'How long have you been planning this?'

'He called me a week ago and I've been here for two days. But if I'm right this is only part one, right wonder boy?'

'Yep, now we are going to walk over to the marina and get on a boat for a cruise on the harbour.'

'Alright lets go, but we have some catching up to do.' The sentence was directed at Jackson but the second half of it was for Jennifer and we all knew it.

We headed around to the marina and got on a beautiful cruising/party boat. I was getting suspicious as to why we were on a boat for about 20-25 people when there was just the three of us. Until I walked into the cabin and heard a bunch of people yell.

'SURPRISE!'

I looked around and saw our closest friends and family gathered on the boat. Then I looked behind them to see the cabin was set up for a wedding. I spun around and glared at Jackson.

'What the hell is going on?'

'I knew you were worried about planning the wedding and I wanted to move forward so I may have enlisted some help to surprise you.'

'And you knew about this?' I turned to Jennifer.

'How could you get married without your maid of honour?'

I turned back to Jackson.

'I can't believe you did this by yourself. I think I just fell even more in love with you. But Jennifer how on earth did you manage to keep this a secret? You can't lie to save your life.'

"You know I would do anything for you Ams, and while we're at it who is that delicious boy toy with the groom?' I turned around to see Jackson standing with none other than Mark Sloane, his best man.

'Mark Sloane, the best man.' Jennifer's face lit up.

'Sloane. The best man? You know that's just meant to be right? The best man and the maid of honour fall into a deep love affair that crosses continents and time zones, totally a romance novel in the making.' I could only laugh at her plan to woo Mark into her fairy tale. She set off to find a drink as I turned to see the rest of our guests. Everyone I wanted was here, my friends from work. I recognized several doctors and nurses from the hospital, including Derek and his wife as well as Owen Hunt. Jackson was currently deep in conversation with his mother Catherine, I wondered if she had noticed the absence of my mother. I turned to see the one person I was looking for: my Uncle Zach. After my Dad died he had been my stand-in father and was there for me through everything, even when my mother fell apart and sent me to boarding school for 3 years.

'Uncle Zach.' I gave him a massive hug. 'I'm so glad you're here.'

'Have you spoken to your mother since the accident?'

'Why?'

'Because she called me and told me I had to come to the wedding because she wasn't. Apparently you told her, quote "not to bother." She's your mother, and as much as you like to pretend otherwise she does care about you.'

'Yeah right, so why did she send you instead of coming herself. This is supposed to be the happiest day of my life. So let's not talk about how my absentee mother supposedly loves me.'

He stared at me, shocked at how much anger I had revealed that I felt towards her.

'Okay, go and get married baby girl. Do you still want me to give you away?'

'Of course.'

'Well, you'd better go and put your dress on shouldn't you.'

At this moment Mark appeared carrying a large white dry cleaners bag with Jennifer a step behind him.

'I see you two have been introduced.'

'Well, someone has to get you down the aisle.' Mark smiled at me. 'I believe this is yours.'

'Thanks. Let's get this show on the road.'

Jennifer followed me into a separate room set up as my change room and saw the hair and makeup team waiting. After about an hour I got into my dress, took the bouquet and got ready to marry the man of my dreams. Everything was perfect. The dress was a slightly off white- cream colour with a sweetheart neckline and an A-line silhouette with gorgeous lace and jeweled beading across the bodice. The skirt billowed out into soft waves to the floor. My hair was swept up with half pinned up but all of it flowing down my back in soft curls covered by the veil that was tucked in behind a small tiara style piece of headwear with pearls and other clear crystals. The bouquet was a small arrangement of red roses and white calla lilies. I felt like a princess, exactly how I was supposed to feel. Jennifer left the room after handing me my bouquet and returned with my uncle in tow.

'You look amazing.' He said, his eyes resting on my face. 'It's hard to imagine you are the same girl that nearly got kicked out of boarding school for starting a petition to let the girls wear pants and the boys wear skirts.'

'It was a phase.' I chuckled.

'Let's get this show on the road.'

'Let's go.'

I watched as Jennifer drifted down the aisle, smiling and keeping her eyes on Mark the entire way. Then it was my turn. As the music started and I floated down the aisle with Zach's arm wrapped around mine. I kept my eyes on Jackson and was thrilled when his eyes filled with tears as he gazed at me like we were the only two people on the earth. I reached him finally and handed my bouquet to Jennifer. Zach released my arm as Jackson reached over to lift up my veil. The celebrant smiled and opened his mouth, ready to begin.

'Dearly beloved we are gathered here today...'
