Eddie and Janet barely had any time together. Eddie was busy moving his things and trying to work and help Janet at the bar while Janet was helping Hannah with all the last minute plans.

"Calm down it will all work out" Janet said sitting at Hannah's kitchen table enjoying coffee
"I know, it's just that, never mind it's stupid" Hannah said sitting with her feet folded into the chair
"No, it's not stupid just tell me what you've got on your mind" Janet asked
"For so long I've been trying to balance everything with Sam, my parents, Ray, then Nick coming back But now that it's all settled I don't have anything to worry about, hell even the wedding has practicly done it's self" "I guess I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop, I don't know what's wrong with me" Hannah said as she threw her head back and let out a uggggggggg
"oh crap, I forgot to get my dress out of Eddie's truck, I'll never make it in time before they close" Janet began to panic
"Look who needs to calm down" "Just get Eddie to drop it off" Hannah said

"Hey, could I talk you into dropping my dress off, if it's not there by 5:00 they want get it pressed in time" Janet begged when he answered the phone
"I suppose, we wouldn't want you to be wrinkled now would we" Eddie replied
"Thanks, bat man" she said as she hung up the phone

Eddie managed to leave work without to many jokes from Nick about being wrapped around Janet's finger but it didn't matter he already knew he was. Before Janet he would have never been caught in a womans boutique especially one that sold lingerie but he had quickly become a frequent customer of this particulair boutique as he had started buying things for Janet. Something he his self found hard to believe. No sooner than he had walked up to the counter dropped off her dress he turned to see Ray Cataldo.
"I wasn't aware you liked to wear women's clothes" Ray said to Eddie both men embarrassed to be see one another
"Just dropping off Janet's dress, It's bad luck to see the bride's dress so I'm guessing that's not why your here" Eddie was smug
"Some one will be availavle to help you pick out something in just a moment Mr. Cataldo" the sales lady said as she came out holding a small pink and white bag
"I put the other items you picked out with her dress, is there anything else I can get you Mr. Latekka" she asked Eddie as she handed him the bag.
"I think that will be all" Eddie said as he began to pay. He had one more stop to make.
"Go for white, I mean it's not exactly the truth and all but she'll appreciate the gesture" Eddie said winking to Big Cat on his way out
"He's right you should go with white" ths sales lady said
"He's been coming in here for months and he's got a pretty good eye for picking out just the right thing" the assistant added as she watched Eddie walk to his truck from the store window, seems she had a bit of a crush on him.

Janet went home to make sure all of Eddies things were in laid out for the wedding the next day. Eddie would be getting dressed there since the only thing they had left at Eddie's was basicly a bed and a small bag of tolitries. He was talked into ushering old ladies to thier seat last minute when Hannah's cousin broke his leg. When she pulled up there was a delivery truck out front. She thought for sure they had the wrong house. When she got out of her car the man said started to open the back of his truck. "You must have the wrong house" Janet said to the man "this is the address Mr. Latekka gave us, are you Miss. Meadows" he asked

"I guess you got my delivery" Eddie said when she made it back to his house
"I did" She answered
"Did they take the old one" he asked
"I hope you tipped them good, by the time they finished moving the new one in and putting that one in the guest room and getting rid of that one they looked like they were going to pass out" she said laughing at the thought of it as she sat down on the bed
"Don't worry I took care of it" he said
"Do you feel better now" She asked him
"I will now that I know it will be our bed" he answered. It tugged at Janets heart strings to know Eddie wanted to share a bed with her and only her. It was the most romantic gesture he could have made and she was more than ready to thank him for it when he suggested they wait untill they were actually in thier new bed.

The next morning Eddie and Janet headed to the house they would now call thier's and Ickey started moving his stuff in to Phils. Seeing how he didn't have a girlfriend to occupy his time he managed to move enough to keep him comfortable the morning before the wedding. Janet picked her dress up early that morning before heading to meet Hannah to get thier hair done. Janet was handed her dress and a bag. The lady informed her that Mr. Latekka asked them to see she received the bag. Back at Hannah's Janet helped with last minute items. She had almost forgotten the bag until she got dressed. She new it would be something nice, Eddie always made sure of that. She opened the bag to find a delicate lilac lace bra and panties, that just happened to match her dress perfectly. She hurried to get dressed so she could help Hannah into hers. Afterall it was her day and every bride deserved to feel special on thier wedding day. Eddie arrived right on time as he promised but couldn't resist the urge to find Janet . Knocking on every bedroom door until he found them. He walked in and immediatly told Hannah how beautifull she looked and also offered her a ride if she changed her mind. Mrs. Daniels quickly scooted him out the room and Janet followed him into the hallway. "Thank you" she said "Well, I had a purly selfish motive" He answered as he wrapped his arms around her. "you look amazing" he added as she began to push him back down the stairs. The guy's made it there just in time to see Ray's grandmother give Eddie a pat on the behind. Upon Matt's request to Ray Janet walked down the isle un escorted. The wedding vows were sweet and tradional. The reception began and as soon as they cut the cake Eddie enlisted Owen, Ickey and Nick to keep Janet busy.

Janet and noticed Eddie and the had been talking to the guy's for quite some time. She wondered what it was about but finally decided that they must be talking about sex, what else could they manage to actually turn into a conversation. She turned to watch the cake being cut and when she turned back they were gone. Janet didn't think much about it and just assumed he was off talking to somebody else but when she kept getting offers to dance from the guy's she noticed they seemed to be sticking a little closer than she thought a boyfriends friends should be.
"Does the beautiful lady care to dance" Owen asked Janet
"Are you going to tell me where he went" Janet asked Owen
"What did they say" he asked
"Ickey just mumbled and Nick said he was in the bathroom" she said looking at him with a grin
"He'll be here shortly" Owen snickered and let her be.

Leslie and the Commander said their good by's at the start of the reception. Mr. Garrett still wasn't up to par and didn't want to over do it. He congratulated Hannah and began to look for Ronnie only to see him leaving with a young woman.

When Eddie drove back up he was surprised to see Klaus. He walked into the house and found Pizza Girl and Phil standing in the window watching out. Phil had decided that if Eddie could overcome his fears and forgive Janet and then actually agree to spend his life with her that he could overcome this paralyzing fear he's had for years. Eddie just gave his usual I'm happy for you grin and made his way to find the love of his life.

It didn't take Matt long to find an opportunity to talk to Janet. He knew he ran the risk of rubbing one of the guy's the wrong way but with Eddie apparently absent he decided to push his luck. Eddie walked in just in time to see. Ray also happened to look up and excused his self from his bride to run interference.
"Let me handle Matt" Ray said to Eddie as they stood with their hands in their pockets watching Matt almost like they were old friends. He knew Matt was pushing his luck but Ray and Eddie both knew what a man in love is willing to risk. When Matt escorted Janet to the dance floor Ray looked at Eddie but was surprised to see he hadn't budged an inch. "All I ask is that you don't do it here" Ray offered "She can handle Matt Laush" Eddie said still jiggling his keys in his pocket. Eddie grabbed two glasses of champagne when the waiter walked by and handed one to Ray "Congratulations, you're a lucky man" Eddie said as he toasted Ray "you to" Ray retorted "yep, we're both in love with women we'll never deserve" Eddie said as he grabbed a glass for Janet and headed her way. This didn't go un noticed by the guy's who began to wonder what was going on until they saw what held Eddie's gaze. They all stood prepared to pull Eddie off.
"Eddie" "Matt"
Were the only words exchanged between the two as Matt thanked Janet for the dance. Eddie handed Janet her glass and wrapped his arm around her pulling her close. They began to sway to the music champagne glasses still in hand. "It's about time" she said as their eyes locked "It'll be worth it I promise" Eddie said and she laid her head on his chest "I love you" he said but she didn't say anything back "Hey" he said as he pushed his shoulder forward to make her look up at him. "you're just going to leave me hanging" he asked as he passed their glasses to a waiter "It'll be worth it, I promise" she replied. He couldn't resist kissing her catching everybody's attention when the bouquet landed at their feet. They would have never known it was there if it hadn't brushed Eddie's leg. He bent down to pick it up and handed it to Janet. "Got to give the people what they want" Eddie said as he dipped Janet and gave her a long deep kiss. "I love you" she said when he let her up for air and the crowd began to devert their attention back to other things.

Janet helped Hannah get ready to leave for their honeymoon. Sam was going to spend a few days with Hannah's parents and then he would stay at Nicks's until his mom came home. Janet helped Hannah change into a much easier to maneuver dress and then cued the band to play the music. Hannah hugged Janet and made their way to the limo stopping to embrace Sam before stepping in. Hannah had been waiting months to find out where Ray was taking her for their honeymoon. Once inside the limo she asked and Ray told her they would be spending the next two weeks in the Bahama's.

Ickey split before the rest of the gang he had watched Owen and Allison until he made his self sick. He thought that tonight when he walked into his new home it would be the start of a new Ickey. A happy Ickey or a least a content one. The gods must have been listening Ickey thought to his self when he walked up and found a woman sitting on the bench until he realized it was one of Eddie's past excursions. "He don't live here anymore, he's in love leave him be" Ickey said as he unlocked the door. "I know that" Ickey started to unlock the door with full intensions of closing it behind him until she said "I just don't care" Ickey paused "Look, you shouldn't be doing this right now" he said "I know" she admitted "Must have been hard watching them all night" she added knowing what it would do to him "Ickey just held the door open for her to walk in. Her words were hurtfull but not nearly as bad as it was to watch a woman beg for comfort. Neither could deny that they both needed the company. Both knowing full well it was just a substitution. "First door on the left" he said as he closed the door and headed up behind her.

"Well, Ms. Meadows are you ready to go home" Eddie asked holding his arm out for her to grab
"Mr. Latekka I would love to go home with you" Janet answered as she grabbed onto Eddie's arm
"Good, because knowing what's under that dress is killing me" Eddie grinned shyly, that's what made him so sexy and irresistible.

"Last song, care to dance" Nick asked Aubrey and she just gave him her hand
"Which Garrett brother have you been crying for" Nick asked. It was the first time he let on that he knew about Ronnie.
"Nicklson" she answered softly as they danced
"See that's where I went wrong, I tried to be something I'm not" "Nicklson can't love you but I can" he said
"Can you love Nick Garrett" he asked her
"I already do" she whispered as she laid her head on his shoulder they continued to dance long after the music stopped
"Ronnie" she said raising her head
"I think he'll be okay, he left with a really hot blonde a couple hours ago"
