Chapter 14:

I know that this chapter is definitely not my best, and it's a bit short and I'm sorry! I don't know anything about how weddings work, and if I needed to research it I would take a longer time posting. Next chapters will be better! Keep reading/ reviewing and thanks for the support!

"Roger wake up." Mimi said as she nudged his shoulder. He grunted. "Roger!"

"What?!" He asked sitting up in bed and rubbing his eyes.

"I'm heading over to Ally's now." She said.

"Okay, so why did I have to get up!?" Roger whined.

"Because I wanted a kiss goodbye." Roger smiled and kissed her lightly and went to lay his head back down on the pillow.

"Oh no get your ass up." Mimi said.

"Why!?"

"Roger! Collins and Angel are getting married today get up!" Mimi yelled.

"Oh yeah, I forgot." Roger said, Mimi tossed a pillow at him. "I was kidding!" He exclaimed smiling, and getting out of bed.

"Yeah sure." Mimi said waving as she headed out the door. She tiptoed through the living room, where Collins was crashing on the couch, since Angel believed in the tradition of not seeing the bride the day of the wedding. She walked up to him and kissed his cheek gently. "Good luck." She whispered.

"Thank you Meems." He said with his eyes still closed. Mimi smiled and left the loft and made her way to the Coffin apartment. The sun was shining so brightly, the sky was a royal blue, and the very few clouds were very happy, puffy, and pure white ones that moved with the soft gentle August breeze. In the sunlight Mimi couldn't help but notice the way her engagement ring sparkled. She smiled to herself and started dreaming about her and Roger's wedding but when she walked into the Coffin house she knew that she needed to focus on Angel's today. The girls were going to prep at Allison's house because of the huge, elaborate bathrooms and the guys were gonna be at the loft. The wedding was going to be in Central Park, since a no church would marry a gay man and a drag queen. Just Collins and Angel's families and the bohos were coming, and Angel's very accepting priest cousin Andy was going to marry them. Angel's bridesmaids were Hannah, Allison, Maureen and Joanne with of course Mimi as her maid of honor. Angel had planned on her sister Theresa on being her maid of honor but Theresa was not very accepting of gay marriage, she would be attending with her boyfriend but she had refused to participate. Collins' best man was his brother Troy and the ushers were Benny, Roger, and Mark "Hey guys." Mimi said, walking into Allison and Benny's HUGE master bathroom where Hannah, Allison, Mo and Jo and Angel were.

"Hey." They all replied. The counter was filled with an array of wigs and tons of makeup and hair supplies. All of their dresses were laid out on the bed.

"Kay Ang, are you ready!?" Mimi asked.

"Yes chica!" Angel squealed jumping up off of the chair and running to hug her best friend.

"Okay, first stop is picking a wig." Mimi said. They all examined the 14 or so wigs.

"I like this one." Joanne said picking up a shoulder length wig with beachy waves. The other girls pondered it until Maureen picked up a shorter wig with straight black hair, more like the one Angel had worn the year they'd all become friends.

"This one." Allison shook her head and picked up a blonde one

"This one."

"I like Joanne's." Hannah said.

"Ha." Joanne replied.

"Ang which one do you like?" Mimi asked. Angel bit her lip and thought about it.

"I like Maureen's."

"Woooh!" Maureen cheered jumping up and down.

"We'll put on her wig after she's in her dress." Mimi said. Next they moved onto makeup, swiping eyeshadow on, brushing on blush and painting on lipstick. They decided not to put on Angel's dress until they were all ready to go. So all of the girls did their hair and makeup. Joanne's shoulder length hair was straightened, Maureen's was in big bouncy waves, Allison's was pulled up into a bun and Hannah's was too. Mimi's hair was in it's usual natural waves but she had pulled the front strands back into a half up half down look.

"Time for dresses!" Angel squealed once they were all done and they all ran excitedly out into the bedroom and picked up their dresses and gently slipped them on. Angel changed in the bathroom. All of the other girls stood by the mirror in their sparkly v-neck halter, knee high silver dresses and toying with their hair. Mimi had on her silver gown, which was simply a longer version of the bridesmaid's. (Angel had switched her from a black one to a silver).

"We look so good." Allison said.

"But Angel looks SO much better!" Maureen cried as Angel stepped out of the bathroom. Her knee high white dress had billions of sparkly, sequined ruffles and a big white sash. Her wig was flawless and so was her makeup, and she walked tall in white heels.

"Oh my god Ang!" Mimi squealed as all of the girls ran over to her. "Your wedding is going to be SO perfect!" She added, throwing her hands in the air, in doing so her engagement ring slipped off of her finger and onto the floor. "Whoops." She said, bending down to pick it up and put it back on her finger.

"Mimi is that a….." Joanne began.

"OH MY FUCKING GOD YOU SAID YES!" Maureen cried hugging Mimi. "Just so you know that whole roof top dinner thing, my idea." Maureen said. "And yes I knew it before everyone else!" She exclaimed.

"I knew it too!" Angel cried.

"Me too Benny was with Roger when they bought the ring!" Allison lied, she knew that Benny was the one who had bought the ring but she had a feeling that wouldn't go over so well with Mimi.

"Wow I feel really left out." Hannah said.

"Same." Joanne replied.

"But congratulations Meem-a-lee!" Hannah said hugging her.

"Yeah really." Joanne said hugging her as well. All of the girls jumped in on the hug congratulating her.

"Thanks guys but today is Angel's day." Mimi said beaming at her friends.

Back at the loft:

Benny had arrived about 15 minutes after Mimi left, they must have missed each other on the street. All of the guys were chilling in their tuxedos on the couch while Collins took a shower. There was a firm couple of knocks on the loft door. "That must be Troy." Roger said getting up he swung it open and there was no doubt about it. Roger had met Troy a few times before, but even if he hadn't him and Collins simply looked exactly alike even though they weren't twins. "Troy." Roger said sticking his hand out.

"Roger!" Troy yelled. He had always been very outgoing, and loud and extravagant. Troy pulled Roger into a big hug and then walked inside in his tux. Roger closed the door. Troy introduced himself to Benny and Mark, obviously not remembering the time Troy had drunk dialed Collins from a bar in the city and Collins, Mark, and Roger brought him back to the loft where he stayed overnight and used Mark's camera to film his "Troy vs. Troy" burping contest. Collins soon stepped out of the bathroom dressed in his tux with his hair done and a small, nervous smile on his face. All of the men cheered.

"Troy."

"Tom." The 2 brothers shook hands and gave each other, a happy friendly hug. Mark had his camera out.

"Today is our dear friend Tom Collins' wedding to Angel Dumott Schunard, here the 2 Collins brothers Tom and Troy are reunited." He narrated.

"Put a sock in it Cohen." Roger said. The 2 began their little banter while Benny sat and rolled his eyes and Collins and Troy talked.

"Nervous?" Troy asked.

"Only a hell of a lot man."

"Don't be…"

"Yeah, it's really nothing to be nervous about. All you got to do is stand up there, smile when she walks down the aisle, say I do and kiss her. Trust me your heart is not going to stop pounding until it is over and then you'll just wonder why the hell you were so nervous. You can do this man." Benny interrupted.

"Yeah if Benny can do it anyone can." Roger said. Benny stuck his tongue out at him.

"Yeah even you can do it if I can do it Rog, so how'd your rooftop proposal go Mr. Romance?" Roger smiled broadly. "Congrats dude." Benny said hugging him.

"Yeah congratulations." Troy said.

"Kay thanks well um the limo should be here in a few minutes." Roger went up to Collins and pat him on the back. "You ready?" Collins just shrugged but smiled at Rog who gladly smiled back at his friend. The guys arrived to the area of the park they were holding the wedding at about half an hour before the girls. Collins and Troy greeted their family members. The girls arrived soon, and Angel met with her family in an area away from Collins before the ceremony. Finally the ceremony began. AN: I am skipping over describing the ceremony because I've never been to a wedding so I have NO idea how it works but it went very well J

The Party at the Plaza……..

Maureen, Mimi, and Hannah were all out dancing the night away on the dance floor, making total fools of themselves. Roger, Mark, Joanne, Allison, and Benny were all sitting drinking at the table talking. "Roggy come dance with me." Mimi said walking over and sitting on his lap.

"Ha. No. I don't dance." He replied.

"You danced with me on the roof, and in the loft when I asked you to light my candle." She whined.

"Yeah that's different."

"Why because this is fast music, do you not have any rhythm?" Mimi whispered in his ear teasingly. Roger was silent. "Please?" Mimi begged kissing his cheek, he just took a sip of wine.

"C'mon Davis, go dance." Benny said.

"Why don't you?" Allison asked Benny grabbing his hand and pulling him to the dance floor.

"Ha sucker." Roger said.

"Jackass." Mimi said.

"Hey now if I die right now you'd feel pretty bad for saying that." Roger said to her.

"Yeah and if I died right now you'd feel pretty bad for not dancing with me." Mimi said, pouting. Roger thought about this and then put his wine down and stood up to go dance with her. Mimi squealed and then kissed his lips sweetly before pulling him out onto the dance floor. Now it was just Mark and Joanne sitting at the table.

"So you and Hannah you guys are doing really good?" Joanne asked.

"Yeah, well as good as a relationship that I'm in can get." Mark said.

"Mark, you're an awesome guy." Joanne said.

"Yeah, only a lesbian would say that to me." Mark said chuckling slightly. Joanne rolled her eyes.

"Marky, Marky, Marky." Angel and Collins then came out from 2 double doors and everybody cheered. Angel immediately joined her friends on the dance floor and Collins headed over to Mark and Joanne but Hannah came out and somehow managed to drag all 3 of them onto the dance floor. All of the bohos were just enjoying life, doing line dances and laughing. And then a slow song came on. Angel grabbed Collins' hand and draped her other over his shoulder. Collins slipped his arm on Angel's waist and they swayed back and forth gently to the music. Mimi put her arms around Roger's neck and gently ran her finger up and down the back of his neck, while his arms rested around her waist and they leaned their foreheads up against each other's, smiling. Joanne and Maureen, Allison and Benny, and Hannah and Mark were in similar positions.

"So what's this I hear about you being insecure?" Hannah asked.

"What?"

"Joanne, she says you're afraid you're not a good boyfriend. Are you?" Mark blinked a few times.

"A little bit."

"Mark, you're an amazing boyfriend." Hannah said.

"How?" Mark asked with his eyebrows raised.

"Well, you're sweet, and charming, and funny, and caring. You're so talented at filming, and you always support me with my talents. You always make me feel better when I'm sad, and you're adorable." Hannah said, smiling. Mark smiled too and they quickly kissed.

"I love you." Mark said. Hannah wrapped her arms around Mark's torso, laying her head on his chest, and he put his arms around her.

"Love you." She whispered. Faster paced songs began playing and the gang once again danced their hearts out. At around midnight the bohos began fanning out, hugging and congratulating Collins and Angel one more time before heading out while the newlyweds continued spending time with the family that remained there. A cool night August breeze blew through the streets. Roger took off his suit jacket and gently wrapped it around Mimi's shoulders, she laughed.

"Roger you've got to be kidding me, it's not even cold out!" She exclaimed.

"But there's a breeze."

"Rog…" Mimi said shrugging the coat off.

"Mimi, please I don't want you to get sick."

"It's August Rog!" Mimi cried, laughing. Roger made a pouty face and Mimi rolled her eyes but slipped the jacket back on. Roger wrapped his arms around her, kissed the top of her head and whispered

"Thank you."

"Weirdo." Mimi replied teasingly. The two walked back to the loft and Mimi became VERY tired, by the time they reached the steps in the building Roger's arm that was around her waist was practically supporting her whole body weight.

"Mimi you feel alright?" he asked.

"Yeah I'm just…." Mimi yawned and Roger put his arms under her legs and lifted her up, carrying her up the steps, into the loft and lightly setting her down on the bed. He sat her up and began untying the back of her dress and helped her slip it off. Roger reached into one of his drawers and pulled out a t-shirt and slipped it over Mimi's head, it came a few inches up from her knees. Roger let Mimi lay down and covered her with blankets and stripping down to his boxers he crawled in beside her. "I'm really happy for them." Mimi muttered tiredly.

"Me too."

"That's gonna be us pretty soon." She replied.

"Yeah but when?" Roger asked.

"As soon as possible." Mimi snuggled into his chest and he draped his arms around her. "I can't wait to be Mrs. Davis." She said, sounding like a giddy little school girl. Roger chuckled. "And I know money's tight but…"

"Mimi don't worry about money, okay?"

"Alright, but I'd always kind of wanted a big blowout wedding, in a church with a big party and en extravagant honeymoon. But we don't have to…."

"We can if you want Mimi."

"But if it's too much money I really don't mind. As long as we're married and we're together I don't care how we do it."

"Well I think your way sounds pretty good." Roger said. "But if you wanna be Mrs. Davis as soon as possible, and have the most beautiful wedding in the world we should probably start planning."

"Yeah. In the morning."

"Sure, I love you Mimi." Roger said gently tipping her chin towards him and kissing her.

"I love you babe."

Meanwhile at Hannah's House:

Mark stripped down to his boxers and Hannah slipped into her pajamas and they both crawled into her bed. Hannah rested her head on Mark's chest. "What are you thinking about?" She asked.

"Roger. And Mimi, I can't believe Roger Davis is gonna get married. He's changed so much."

"Yeah but he's changed for the better, right? I mean he's clean, he's healthy, he's in love, from what you've told me that's 10 steps up from what he used to be."

"Yeah it is I just. I guess he doesn't really need me anymore does he?"

"Of course he needs you Mark, you're his best friend." Hannah said, running her hand up and down Mark's arm.

"No, Mimi is now, isn't your wife supposed to be your best friend?"

"You're his best man."

"He hasn't told me that yet. His brother should be his best man."

"But that's all up to Roger. Maybe he can have two."

"No. It should be his brother."

"Why don't you talk to Roger about all of this stuff. It seems like you have a lot of stuff bottled up babe, I mean you can talk to me of course but I don't know what good it will do."

"No it does me good. You're a good listener. But it's late. I love you."

"Love you, goodnight."

The Next Morning:

Angel and Collins were taking their honeymoon in Santa Fe for the next 2 weeks, and without Angel to hang out with Mimi was ready for some wedding planning to keep herself busy. She was sitting on the sofa in the living room in front of the coffee table with a notebook in her arms, she was writing furiously. Roger slowly walked out of the bedroom, running a hand through his hair. "Watcha doing?" Mimi looked up at him and smiled.

"Writing down everything we need to talk about for the wedding."

"Like…."

"Like guest lists, bridesmaids, ushers, colors, clothes, decorations, cake, where, and well everything!" Mimi exclaimed, hugging the notebook to her chest.

"Oh boy. You're really getting wound up about this aren't you?" Roger asked sitting down next to her.

"Well I've never been married before this is exciting!"

"Yeah and you're never getting married again. You're all mine." Roger said putting his arm around her.

"Mhmm sounds good to me." Mimi rested their foreheads together and then Roger leaned his chin toward her and dove lovingly into the kiss.
