A few weeks later...
Lulu and Amanda were sitting at the Quartermaine mansion sharing a sisterly moment.
"So now I don't know what to do," Lulu said, "I mean I thought Spinelli was the one...I mean he's sweet, funny, cute well in an unconventional way."
"But," Amanda said.
"But then Logan came into my life and now I don't know what to do," Lulu said, "you're so lucky to have found the right guy."
Mark entered the room while Lulu was speaking.
"I know she is," Mark said kissing his fiancé, "I hope I'm not interruption."
"No," said Lulu, "In fact I need to get some summer reading done."
Lulu headed upstairs to her room leaving Mark and Amanda alone.
"I have some good news and some bad news," Mark said when they were alone.
"Don't tell me Benny is giving you another kid," Amanda said, "I mean god knows I love Spinelli but one roommate is enough."
"Don't worry," Mark said, "it's still just the three of us."
"Then what is the news," Amanda asked.
"The good news is that Pete gave the OK for Maureen to move back to the city with Roger," Mark said, "the bad news is that he wants me to go with him to the city this weekend to get her settled down."
"But Jason and Sam's wedding," Amanda said.
"I know," Mark said, "I'm sorry..."
"It's ok," Amanda said, "so is Maureen going too."
"Why do you ask," Mark said.
"Because then Milo would be free to snag as a date," Amanda said.
"As far as I know," Mark said, "Maureen will still be here."
"Well then," Amanda said, "I need to find myself a date."
"Try not to find someone who will steal you away," Mark said.
"I'll try," Amanda said.
"So," said Milo, "I know this is very short notice but since we are now officially a couple..."
Maureen smiled at her boyfriend as he said this. They were sitting on the couch of the apartment just hanging out alone together while Max was at the hotel.
"...I was wondering would you be my date to Jason and Sam's wedding," Milo asked.
"I am your girlfriend," Maureen said, "You don't have to ask me twice."
Maureen gave him a quick kiss as Milo's cell rang.
"Sonny," Maureen asked.
"Sonny," Milo said, "I'll see you tonight."
"I'm spending the night over at Windermere," Maureen said, "Nickolas and Emily are going out for the evening."
"I can't believe they are still together," Milo said.
"hey but think about if they split," Maureen said, "I'd be back living with Nickolas full time and we couldn't spend afternoons cuddling like this."
"I love you Maureen," Milo said as he headed toward the door.
"I love you Milo," Maureen said kissing him goodbye.
The week flew by and soon it was Friday evening.
"So," Mark said as he was finishing his packing, "did you find a date."
"I did," Amanda said.
"And what is his name," Mark asked, "what dose he do."
"His name is Max," Amanda said, "and he works security downstairs at the hotel."
Mark laughed.
"Well don't have too much fun while I'm gone," Mark said kissing his fiancé, "so as Maid of honor have anything planned with Sam tonight."
"Actually I do and I'm late," Amanda said as she left the apartment.
Jason and Sam were sitting at the penthouse...
"I can't believe the big day is less then 24 hours away," Sam said.
"We can always still elope," Jason said.
"And disappoint all our friends," Sam said, "so is Sonny planning a stag party for you."
"I doubt it," Jason said, "it's not really Sonny's thing...how about you has Amanda planned anything."
"Girls night out at Jake's," Sam said, "speaking of which I'd better go."
Sam picked up an overnight bag and headed toward the door.
"What's the bag for," Jason asked.
"Well Mark is out of town," Sam said, "so I'm crashing with Amanda and Spinelli for the night seeing as its bad luck to see the bride before the wedding and all."
Amanda entered Jakes and looked around at everyone was there.
"Sam with you sis," asked Lulu.
"No," Amanda said, "in fact I thought she's be here by now."
"So," Maureen said, "Max tells me you're his date...don't tell me there is trouble in paradise."
"Mark is helping Pete to move Mimi back in with Roger," Amanda said.
"That's good," Maureen said, "Roger shouldn't have to be alone."
"He won't be," Georgie said, "he has Mimi now and will have Dillon and I in the fall."
Sam entered and saw the girls at the bar and headed over to them.
"So is this it," Sam asked.
"What do you mean," Amanda asked.
"Well I mean are there going to be strippers or anything," Sam asked, "or is it just a bunch of people some of whom I can't stand by the way...standing around a bar."
"You wanted strippers," Amanda asked.
"Not particularly," Sam said, "just that this party is a bit lame."
"Not for long," said Emily signaling for Coleman to pour a round of tequila shots for all those of age to drink."
"To my soon to be sister in law," said Emily, "we may not be the best of friends right now but I hope that can change."
"Ok girls," said Robin, "just Lick it Slam it and Suck it."
The girls spent the rest of the evening getting drunk on tequila shots, playing pool, and singing real bad Karaoke while Jason on the other hand spent a nice quiet evening at home.
The next morning Sam and Amanda were still feeling the effects of the night before and were passed out on Mark and Amanda's bed. Spinelli entered the room and saw his roommate and the bride to be lying there and he left the room. A few minutes later Spinelli came back and threw cold water on them.
"Spinelli," Amanda said getting up instantly, "what the hell was that for."
"Chill out Mandy," Spinelli said, "you and the blushing bride Samantha were asleep and I know you need to be going soon."
"What time is it," Sam asked.
"Almost noon," Spinelli said.
"Crap," Sam said, "the weddings at four there is no way I'll be ready."
"Breathe Sam," Amanda said, "I'm your maid of honor and I assure you the wedding will go off without a hitch."
Sam nodded and headed to the bathroom to get ready to go to the church leaving Spinelli and Amanda alone.
"Please tell me your Lulu's date today," Amanda asked.
"Are you worried that the Blonde One asked Logan," Spinelli said.
"Yea," Amanda said, "I mean Logan is a good guy and all but you've been the best thing to happen to Lulu in a long while."
"Thanks," Spinelli said as Sam came back into the room, "hurry up Amanda so we can get ready."
It was almost four PM and Amanda and Sam were having one last pre wedding pep talk.
"Ok," Amanda said, "this is it no backing out."
"Gee thanks for that," said Sam said squeezed Amanda's hand and headed out to marry Jason.
The wedding was small and simple and Amanda was right it went off without a hitch. Jason and Sam were now husband and wife.
