~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
they all sat around in ronda's room,looking at each other a little confused,dwayne looked a little pale. ronda looked up at hunter,who was by her side and shrugged.
"i'm sorry but i-"she burst out laughing,"oh,GOD,that was the hardest thing,i didn't think i could be that serious for that long! of course i know who you are,DJ." dwayne rubbed the back of his head,feeling a little embarassed by the joke,but relivied that it was just that,a joke.
"very funny,ronda."
"i'm sorry,i know that was mean, i just wanted to see if i could do it."she said giggling.
later that day,they had moved ronda into a new,larger room with a couple cots for hunter and her mom. over the time she was at the hospital,a lot of the guys and all the girls came by,except stacy who sent a get-well card. all the mcmahons came by,and vince and ronda had to make hunter go back to work.
one day,a couple of weeks later,ronda was sitting in her room alone watching the bold and the beautiful when mercy poked her head in ronda's door.
"hey,girl."mercy said smiling. they had gotten to become pretty good friends over ronda's stay.
"hey."
"you've got a gift."she said,coming all the way in,checking rondas vitals after setting a bouquet of white roses in her lap.
"i hope these are silk or something,i hate flowers. who sent them?"
"i don't know. they just came in a few minutes ago by a courier. but there's a card there in the middle." ronda picked it up and noticed something red in the middle. she picked it up and noticed that it was a red tongue lollipop.
"what the hell...?"she wondered to herself. she opened the card that read 'happy anniversary! DJ.' ronda burst out laughing.
a few months later after ronda had finished physical therapy and that other therapy,she was starting to train back in the ring,and she and hunter had resumed planning their wedding,which was to be in a few weeks. they had both talked the date over with vince,because ronda wanted everyone to be able to come,so they decided to have it on a saturday. the wedding planner,elton, had come out to connecticut,so that they wouldn't have to worry about anything.
"ok,so you've got the church?"elton asked.
"yeah, we've got the church,her dress,my tux,all the groomsmen's tuxes,and-honey,you got all the bridesmaids dresses,right?" hunter asked,and ronda sneezed,and elton jumped.
"oh,sorry,bless me."ronda said. "what were you-oh yeah,the bridesmaids dresses,yeah,me and steph got those already." she said,sniffing.
"ronda,you've been sneezing and stuff all day,are you alright? you think you need to go to the doctor?"
"no,hunter,i'm fine."
"maybe you should take some cough medicine."
"i'm fine! now what else?"
"well," elton started,looking into a leather bound folder,"ah,yes. the invitations?"
"yeah,all the invitations ha-have been-"she sneezed again. "bless me. sorry. the invitations have all been sent out and rvsped. we've got the caterer,the reception hall,somebody convinced us to get some kind of insurance in case anything goes wrong,so we got that,too. we've got dresses,tuxes,shoes,hairstylists,is there anything else?"
"uh...well,ring bearer,flower girl?"
"the flower girl is gonna be steve's daughter cassidy,the ring bearer is gonna be hunter's ne-PHEW!"ronda said,sneezing again. after the look of shock left elton's face,he looked through his folder and smiled.
"well,that's everything. i'll see you all at 6 tomorrow evening."he said,gathering his things and heading to the door.
"thanks."hunter said,as ronda walked him out. as she walked back into the den,she looked around her and stephanie's rebuilt house. everything was exactly the same. it was so accurate,it was a little scary. it was hard to believe that soon this would only be stephanie's house.
"alright,you have to get out."she said,hunter looked at her confused. "bacholorette party,here,tonight?"
"oh! right,and i've got my bacholor party." he said grinning.
"did steve get you any skanks to dance around for you?"
"did steph get any out of work plumbers to dancer for you?"ronda narrowed her eyes at him.
"shut up and get out."
"ok." he said,grabbing her by the waist and kissing her,"by this time tomorrow,we'll be married."
"see you at the other end of the alter."
"can't wait." hunter grabbed his leather jacket and headed out the door.
~the next day~
ronda woke up alone in her bed feeling horrible. she couldn't breathe out of her nose at all,she had a headache and a sore throat. she looked over at the clock that read 11:38 and groaned,which made her throat hurt.
"good morning!"stephanie said,coming into ronda's room,"rise and-oh."
"what?"ronda said congestedly. "oh,god,i must lookd like crap."
"no,but...are you feeling ok?"
"no,i feel like crap. i have a headache,my dose is stopped dup,my throatd hurts,and i'm talking like dis."
"well,um,we'll just get you some cough medicine,a steam,you'll be better in no time."steph said getting ronda's robe from off a chair and laying it next to her.
"sdeph,i can'td be sick today,i'm gedding married."
"i know,and you're gonna make it down that aisle,girlie! so,come on,get up,and get ready because you're gonna be mrs. paul levesque!"steph said happily.
"shutd dup."
"i'm not gonna pay attention cuz i know that's just the cold talking. but seriously,you've gotta get up,it's getting late."
"five more midutes."ronda said,lying back down.
"no,cuz 5 more minutes is gonna turn into 5 more minutes until it's too late to get your hair done and you don't have enough time to get in the shower,then the caterer's gonna cancel and everyone's gonna be forced to go to mcdonalds or something, and grandma won't be able to come because she has to get her hip replaced. and you'll say,well,grandma,we've been planning this wedding for months and you knew what date the wedding and your surgery fell on,and you couldn't reschedule so you could come to my fucking wedding?! then she and mom will get into an argument and fat aunt grace is gonna bitch about the fact that the caterer canceled and the only food that they brought by is the cake and they spell your damn name wrong! and you'll scream how the fuck could they spell 'stephanie' wrong?! it's such a common name! and what the hell is a "stephane"?! then you'll have a mini nervous breakdown and then you'll have to cancel the wedding and your fiance will break up with you because you're in a family full of nuts and you'll say i'm not crazy,it's just them! i'm the sane one,I'M not crazy! but it won't matter because he's already convinced that any children he would have with you will be just as crazy as you and your family are then he'll tell all of his friends and that dress cost $7000!"steph mumbled,walking out of ronda's room. even though it was a nighttime wedding, ronda was so scared that she got up and got in the shower.
when she was done,she took some cough medicine and drank some orange juice because stephanie was rambling about vitamin c. later, they made their way over to the church,the rest of the bridesmaids,amy,trish,nora,jackie and lisa(ivory,if ya don't know),had already arrived. on the way,stephanie had got a mini humidifier,and ronda had a towel over her head so that she would recieve all the steam,with stephanie leading her into the bride's chambers.
"what the hell is ronda doing?"lisa asked.
"she's steaming."steph answered.
"what is she,a lobster or something?"
"no,she has a cold and her nose is stopped up."
"well,get her some damn cough medicine."
"she already had some."
"it didn't work" ronda said. she moved the towel off her head and sat it on a chair. "that steam sucks too. now i can only breathe out of one nostril." she sighed and sat in a chair. jackie came over and felt her forehead.
"ronda,i think you have a fever."she said.
"no,it's just the steam,it made my face warm. i'll be ok."
"well, trish, you check her out,you were gonna be a doctor."amy said.
"a KINSEOLOGY doctor!"trish replied.
"guys,i'm fine."
"i think we should get her some cold pills,maybe that'll help."nora suggested.
"yeah,like some nyquil or something."said jackie.
"i'll get them!"amy said happily.
"hello? i said i'm fine."
"and i know just the kind! it treats EVERYTHING,fever,cough,sore throat,whatever."
"ok,that sounds cool,aimes."trish said.
"you go get the pills and get ronda some orange juice to go along with it."steph said.
"oh,yeah,orange juice! vitamin c!"amy said,and left.
"somethings wrong with that girl,bless her heart."nora said,shaking her head.
after amy got back with the pills and ronda took them,they got their hair and make-up done. while the make-up artist was finishing ronda,she tilted ronda's head and noticed how warm it was.
"ronda,are you ok?"
"what are you talking about,kelly?"ronda asked tiredly. kelly felt her forehead and neck.
"you're burning up! that's what i'm talking about."
"i took some medicine,it probably hasn't kicked in yet."
"when did you take it?"
"...'bout an hour ago. are you done? i think i'm gonna go lay down."
"yeah,i'm finished."she said,then left. lisa came over to ronda,looking concerned.
"honey,what's wrong?"
"nothing,i just wanna go to sleep."
"are you feeling better?"
"mm-hmm. i just want to go to sleep."
"well, we've got about an hour,then you've got to put your dress on and get down that aisle." ronda nodded weakly then put her head down.
"maybe you should take some more cold pills so your fever can break."lisa said picking up the box and read the back. 'relieves congestion,sore throat,fever,causes-oh my god.' "amy,you frickin idiot,these things cause drowsiness!"
"ohh,i'm sorry, i forgot."amy said.
"well,wake her up then! she can't sleep through her wedding."jackie said,gesturing to ronda,who was fast asleep.
"well she's got a while to go before she has to get dressed,why don't we just let her sleep?"nora suggested
"we don't want her to get too comfortable,she can sleep after the wedding."jackie replied.
"come on,give her 30 minutes. all she's gonna have to do is put the dress on. if her hair and make-up is messed up,the stylists are sitting in the chapel."nora said. jackie sighed.
"fine,she can sleep for now."
"i wish we had a tv."steph said,looking bored.
"let's play a game!"amy said. lisa rolled her eyes.
"what kind of game?"trish asked.
"ok,it's a guessing game. i'm thinking of a number between 1 and 20."amy said,eyes sparkling.
"10."lisa said dully.
"no way!"everyone sighed. this was gonna be long.
about 15 minutes later lisa and jackie went over to try and wake ronda up.after what seemed like forever she sat up,eyes crossing every now and then,in a vain attempt to stay awake.
"whaaaat?"ronda slurred angrily.
"come on,honey,you have to wake up,you're getting married in 20 minutes."jackie said.
"no."she said,semi defiantly,and turned her head,attempting to go back to sleep.
"guys,she doesn't look good,maybe we should just tell hunter that ronda's sick and to post-pone the wedding?"nora suggested.
"yeah,i think so,too. there is NO way she's getting down that aisle."trish commented. ronda must've heard this,because she immeditately sat up,tried hard to focus,and started to stand up.
"no,ronda,sit back down,you're in no shape to do anything but sleep. i'm gonna go get hunter."steph said,heading for the door.
"NO!"ronda shouted. "hunner is not comin' back here. its bad luck for the groom to see the broom before the wedding."she slurred,then started to laugh. the girls looked at each other,and noticed that amy was laughing too. lisa pinched her.
"ow!"
"shut up,then."lisa said,glaring.
"now,its late,and i'm putting on da dress."ronda said,attempting to stand up. she wobbled and luckily nora and jackie were there to catch her,and sat her down in a chair.
"that's it. steph go get hunter and her mom,ronda is NOT getting married today."nora said.
"lissen to me,fuckdammit! I AM getting married today. those damn cold pills have me sleepy as hell, but i have to put on my dress,and you motherbitches are gonna help me!"
"will you stop cussing? we're in a church."trish said.
"shit,god know,he don't care."ronda said waving a hand dismissively.she stood up slowly,and made her way over to the dressing curtain* and started getting undressed. "i'm finna get nekkid,dawg!" she said,then laughed hilariously. she threw her clothes over the top of the curtain and finally had the dress on. she came out from behind the curtain and looked gorgeous,but high. just then,linda came and knocked on the door.
"5 minutes,girls."she yelled from the other side.
"ok,mom!"steph yelled back. she grabbed a cup and poured some cold water into it,then gave the cup to ronda to drink. she drank it all up,and they noticed that she looked more awake after she had finished the water,so they kept giving it to her. plus that and the fact that she still had a fever,they wanted to keep her hydrated. they put the veil over her head,then they all went into the hall,where ronda's dad was waiting.
"hey,man,what took you so long?"he asked.
"shut up,daddy."ronda said,linking arms with him and heading to the chapel. the rest of the girls speeded up,since they had to walk down the aisle with the groomsmen,who consisted of steve, kevin nash,chris,x-pac,and kurt. hunter's nephew peter walked out first since he was the ring bearer,then the bridesmaids and groomsmen,followed by steve's daughter cassidy,the flower girl. after she had emptied the basket of flowers,the wedding march started and everyone rose to their feet,as ronda,walked down the aisle with her father.she looked like a tall,thin mass of white. if you didn't know it was ronda,you wouldn't have. stephanie and the other's had the lace veil ronda had going completely over her face,stopping near her waist. little did any of them know that ronda's fever had started back up again.
as ronda walked down the aisle,she started to feel sleepy again. she was in a stupor,trying to keep her eyes focused. when she finally made it up to hunter,she leaned against him for support,he thought she was just trying to be close to him,so he wrapped an arm around her waist.
"dearly beloved,we are gathered here today,to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony..."the minister continued. to ronda,it seemed like everything was going in slow motion. she started to get bored and started humming to herself.
"da da dada dun dun da da..." hunter heard this and looked over at her confused.
"ronda,what are you doing?"he whispered. the minister kept talking.
"marriage should not be walked into lightly,it's an eternal partnership in the eyes of-"
"oh,will you hurry it up already?!"ronda asked,annoyed.
"ronda-"hunter started.
"no,don't 'ronda' me,he's taking all day, i'm getting hungry up here. can you just skip to the 'i do's' so we can all get up out of here,cuz a sister is hungrier than a mug,y'know what i'm saying?" everyone was in complete shock,then the minister cleared his throat.
"alright then,do you,paul,take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife? to have and to hold, through richer or poorer,sickeness and in health,good times and bad from this day forth?
"i do."
"and,do you ronda,take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband? to have and to-"
"yeah,yeah,yeah, i know,you ain't gotta repeat all that stupid crap. i do,ok?"
"well..um,if anyone here sees any reason why this man and this woman should not be joined in holy matrimony,SPEAK NOW,or forever hold your peace."the minister said,looking out to the crowd,eyes pleading. even dwayne,who had thought about standing up at this very moment decided to sit down,this was way too weird...but entertaining. when the minister noticed that no one was gonna say anything,he continued on. "i understand that you each have written your own vows?"
"yes." hunter nodded,and turned to ronda,holding her hands. "ronda,from the day we met i felt a connection with you. we were friends first,but it quickly gave way to love..." hunter was still talking,but ronda was just staring at him,listening but not really hearing anything he was saying until he was done. "...and i know that our lives together will be full of love as long as we can spend them together." he said,smiling. for the first time,ronda lifted up her veil.
"oh,my god."lisa whispered.
"what is she gonna do?"said nora.
"ew,what if she has to barf right now?"said amy,and lisa pinched her again. meanwhile,ronda had moved her veil completely back,and looked around the chapel and the people in it with new eyes. then she looked to her soon- to-be-husband,then slowly started to smile.
"dude, your nose is soooo big!"she said,then burst out laughing. snickers could be heard throughout the church as hunter blushed slightly.
"ronda,what are you doing?"he whispered through clenched teeth. ronda let out one last snort of laughter,then fainted.
A/N-*i put dressing curtain because i could NOT think of what those things are called, those chinese things you get dressed behind is what i was gonna call it...
*snicker* i said "stoned"...
oh,yeah, in chap 18,i got the month wrong,so it was actually august when ronda fell and all that stuff.
ok,i went and read the reviews! mole,to answer your question-god no! there's only a few chaps left, the limit was sposed to be 20,21 at the most. sarah to answer your comment-MWA-HAHA HA HAAA!!! and mercy, i know why you love the chap so much,NURSE MERCY! lol.

jess is gonna have fun with a certain part of this chapter,cuz i did something like it in a previous never-ending story that was tragically lost...*sniff*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
they all sat around in ronda's room,looking at each other a little confused,dwayne looked a little pale. ronda looked up at hunter,who was by her side and shrugged.
"i'm sorry but i-"she burst out laughing,"oh,GOD,that was the hardest thing,i didn't think i could be that serious for that long! of course i know who you are,DJ." dwayne rubbed the back of his head,feeling a little embarassed by the joke,but relivied that it was just that,a joke.
"very funny,ronda."
"i'm sorry,i know that was mean, i just wanted to see if i could do it."she said giggling.
later that day,they had moved ronda into a new,larger room with a couple cots for hunter and her mom. over the time she was at the hospital,a lot of the guys and all the girls came by,except stacy who sent a get-well card. all the mcmahons came by,and vince and ronda had to make hunter go back to work.
one day,a couple of weeks later,ronda was sitting in her room alone watching the bold and the beautiful when mercy poked her head in ronda's door.
"hey,girl."mercy said smiling. they had gotten to become pretty good friends over ronda's stay.
"hey."
"you've got a gift."she said,coming all the way in,checking rondas vitals after setting a bouquet of white roses in her lap.
"i hope these are silk or something,i hate flowers. who sent them?"
"i don't know. they just came in a few minutes ago by a courier. but there's a card there in the middle." ronda picked it up and noticed something red in the middle. she picked it up and noticed that it was a red tongue lollipop.
"what the hell...?"she wondered to herself. she opened the card that read 'happy anniversary! DJ.' ronda burst out laughing.
a few months later after ronda had finished physical therapy and that other therapy,she was starting to train back in the ring,and she and hunter had resumed planning their wedding,which was to be in a few weeks. they had both talked the date over with vince,because ronda wanted everyone to be able to come,so they decided to have it on a saturday. the wedding planner,elton, had come out to connecticut,so that they wouldn't have to worry about anything.
"ok,so you've got the church?"elton asked.
"yeah, we've got the church,her dress,my tux,all the groomsmen's tuxes,and-honey,you got all the bridesmaids dresses,right?" hunter asked,and ronda sneezed,and elton jumped.
"oh,sorry,bless me."ronda said. "what were you-oh yeah,the bridesmaids dresses,yeah,me and steph got those already." she said,sniffing.
"ronda,you've been sneezing and stuff all day,are you alright? you think you need to go to the doctor?"
"no,hunter,i'm fine."
"maybe you should take some cough medicine."
"i'm fine! now what else?"
"well," elton started,looking into a leather bound folder,"ah,yes. the invitations?"
"yeah,all the invitations ha-have been-"she sneezed again. "bless me. sorry. the invitations have all been sent out and rvsped. we've got the caterer,the reception hall,somebody convinced us to get some kind of insurance in case anything goes wrong,so we got that,too. we've got dresses,tuxes,shoes,hairstylists,is there anything else?"
"uh...well,ring bearer,flower girl?"
"the flower girl is gonna be steve's daughter cassidy,the ring bearer is gonna be hunter's ne-PHEW!"ronda said,sneezing again. after the look of shock left elton's face,he looked through his folder and smiled.
"well,that's everything. i'll see you all at 6 tomorrow evening."he said,gathering his things and heading to the door.
"thanks."hunter said,as ronda walked him out. as she walked back into the den,she looked around her and stephanie's rebuilt house. everything was exactly the same. it was so accurate,it was a little scary. it was hard to believe that soon this would only be stephanie's house.
"alright,you have to get out."she said,hunter looked at her confused. "bacholorette party,here,tonight?"
"oh! right,and i've got my bacholor party." he said grinning.
"did steve get you any skanks to dance around for you?"
"did steph get any out of work plumbers to dancer for you?"ronda narrowed her eyes at him.
"shut up and get out."
"ok." he said,grabbing her by the waist and kissing her,"by this time tomorrow,we'll be married."
"see you at the other end of the alter."
"can't wait." hunter grabbed his leather jacket and headed out the door.
~the next day~
ronda woke up alone in her bed feeling horrible. she couldn't breathe out of her nose at all,she had a headache and a sore throat. she looked over at the clock that read 11:38 and groaned,which made her throat hurt.
"good morning!"stephanie said,coming into ronda's room,"rise and-oh."
"what?"ronda said congestedly. "oh,god,i must lookd like crap."
"no,but...are you feeling ok?"
"no,i feel like crap. i have a headache,my dose is stopped dup,my throatd hurts,and i'm talking like dis."
"well,um,we'll just get you some cough medicine,a steam,you'll be better in no time."steph said getting ronda's robe from off a chair and laying it next to her.
"sdeph,i can'td be sick today,i'm gedding married."
"i know,and you're gonna make it down that aisle,girlie! so,come on,get up,and get ready because you're gonna be mrs. paul levesque!"steph said happily.
"shutd dup."
"i'm not gonna pay attention cuz i know that's just the cold talking. but seriously,you've gotta get up,it's getting late."
"five more midutes."ronda said,lying back down.
"no,cuz 5 more minutes is gonna turn into 5 more minutes until it's too late to get your hair done and you don't have enough time to get in the shower,then the caterer's gonna cancel and everyone's gonna be forced to go to mcdonalds or something, and grandma won't be able to come because she has to get her hip replaced. and you'll say,well,grandma,we've been planning this wedding for months and you knew what date the wedding and your surgery fell on,and you couldn't reschedule so you could come to my fucking wedding?! then she and mom will get into an argument and fat aunt grace is gonna bitch about the fact that the caterer canceled and the only food that they brought by is the cake and they spell your damn name wrong! and you'll scream how the fuck could they spell 'stephanie' wrong?! it's such a common name! and what the hell is a "stephane"?! then you'll have a mini nervous breakdown and then you'll have to cancel the wedding and your fiance will break up with you because you're in a family full of nuts and you'll say i'm not crazy,it's just them! i'm the sane one,I'M not crazy! but it won't matter because he's already convinced that any children he would have with you will be just as crazy as you and your family are then he'll tell all of his friends and that dress cost $7000!"steph mumbled,walking out of ronda's room. even though it was a nighttime wedding, ronda was so scared that she got up and got in the shower.
when she was done,she took some cough medicine and drank some orange juice because stephanie was rambling about vitamin c. later, they made their way over to the church,the rest of the bridesmaids,amy,trish,nora,jackie and lisa(ivory,if ya don't know),had already arrived. on the way,stephanie had got a mini humidifier,and ronda had a towel over her head so that she would recieve all the steam,with stephanie leading her into the bride's chambers.
"what the hell is ronda doing?"lisa asked.
"she's steaming."steph answered.
"what is she,a lobster or something?"
"no,she has a cold and her nose is stopped up."
"well,get her some damn cough medicine."
"she already had some."
"it didn't work" ronda said. she moved the towel off her head and sat it on a chair. "that steam sucks too. now i can only breathe out of one nostril." she sighed and sat in a chair. jackie came over and felt her forehead.
"ronda,i think you have a fever."she said.
"no,it's just the steam,it made my face warm. i'll be ok."
"well, trish, you check her out,you were gonna be a doctor."amy said.
"a KINSEOLOGY doctor!"trish replied.
"guys,i'm fine."
"i think we should get her some cold pills,maybe that'll help."nora suggested.
"yeah,like some nyquil or something."said jackie.
"i'll get them!"amy said happily.
"hello? i said i'm fine."
"and i know just the kind! it treats EVERYTHING,fever,cough,sore throat,whatever."
"ok,that sounds cool,aimes."trish said.
"you go get the pills and get ronda some orange juice to go along with it."steph said.
"oh,yeah,orange juice! vitamin c!"amy said,and left.
"somethings wrong with that girl,bless her heart."nora said,shaking her head.
after amy got back with the pills and ronda took them,they got their hair and make-up done. while the make-up artist was finishing ronda,she tilted ronda's head and noticed how warm it was.
"ronda,are you ok?"
"what are you talking about,kelly?"ronda asked tiredly. kelly felt her forehead and neck.
"you're burning up! that's what i'm talking about."
"i took some medicine,it probably hasn't kicked in yet."
"when did you take it?"
"...'bout an hour ago. are you done? i think i'm gonna go lay down."
"yeah,i'm finished."she said,then left. lisa came over to ronda,looking concerned.
"honey,what's wrong?"
"nothing,i just wanna go to sleep."
"are you feeling better?"
"mm-hmm. i just want to go to sleep."
"well, we've got about an hour,then you've got to put your dress on and get down that aisle." ronda nodded weakly then put her head down.
"maybe you should take some more cold pills so your fever can break."lisa said picking up the box and read the back. 'relieves congestion,sore throat,fever,causes-oh my god.' "amy,you frickin idiot,these things cause drowsiness!"
"ohh,i'm sorry, i forgot."amy said.
"well,wake her up then! she can't sleep through her wedding."jackie said,gesturing to ronda,who was fast asleep.
"well she's got a while to go before she has to get dressed,why don't we just let her sleep?"nora suggested
"we don't want her to get too comfortable,she can sleep after the wedding."jackie replied.
"come on,give her 30 minutes. all she's gonna have to do is put the dress on. if her hair and make-up is messed up,the stylists are sitting in the chapel."nora said. jackie sighed.
"fine,she can sleep for now."
"i wish we had a tv."steph said,looking bored.
"let's play a game!"amy said. lisa rolled her eyes.
"what kind of game?"trish asked.
"ok,it's a guessing game. i'm thinking of a number between 1 and 20."amy said,eyes sparkling.
"10."lisa said dully.
"no way!"everyone sighed. this was gonna be long.
about 15 minutes later lisa and jackie went over to try and wake ronda up.after what seemed like forever she sat up,eyes crossing every now and then,in a vain attempt to stay awake.
"whaaaat?"ronda slurred angrily.
"come on,honey,you have to wake up,you're getting married in 20 minutes."jackie said.
"no."she said,semi defiantly,and turned her head,attempting to go back to sleep.
"guys,she doesn't look good,maybe we should just tell hunter that ronda's sick and to post-pone the wedding?"nora suggested.
"yeah,i think so,too. there is NO way she's getting down that aisle."trish commented. ronda must've heard this,because she immeditately sat up,tried hard to focus,and started to stand up.
"no,ronda,sit back down,you're in no shape to do anything but sleep. i'm gonna go get hunter."steph said,heading for the door.
"NO!"ronda shouted. "hunner is not comin' back here. its bad luck for the groom to see the broom before the wedding."she slurred,then started to laugh. the girls looked at each other,and noticed that amy was laughing too. lisa pinched her.
"ow!"
"shut up,then."lisa said,glaring.
"now,its late,and i'm putting on da dress."ronda said,attempting to stand up. she wobbled and luckily nora and jackie were there to catch her,and sat her down in a chair.
"that's it. steph go get hunter and her mom,ronda is NOT getting married today."nora said.
"lissen to me,fuckdammit! I AM getting married today. those damn cold pills have me sleepy as hell, but i have to put on my dress,and you motherbitches are gonna help me!"
"will you stop cussing? we're in a church."trish said.
"shit,god know,he don't care."ronda said waving a hand dismissively.she stood up slowly,and made her way over to the dressing curtain* and started getting undressed. "i'm finna get nekkid,dawg!" she said,then laughed hilariously. she threw her clothes over the top of the curtain and finally had the dress on. she came out from behind the curtain and looked gorgeous,but high. just then,linda came and knocked on the door.
"5 minutes,girls."she yelled from the other side.
"ok,mom!"steph yelled back. she grabbed a cup and poured some cold water into it,then gave the cup to ronda to drink. she drank it all up,and they noticed that she looked more awake after she had finished the water,so they kept giving it to her. plus that and the fact that she still had a fever,they wanted to keep her hydrated. they put the veil over her head,then they all went into the hall,where ronda's dad was waiting.
"hey,man,what took you so long?"he asked.
"shut up,daddy."ronda said,linking arms with him and heading to the chapel. the rest of the girls speeded up,since they had to walk down the aisle with the groomsmen,who consisted of steve, kevin nash,chris,x-pac,and kurt. hunter's nephew peter walked out first since he was the ring bearer,then the bridesmaids and groomsmen,followed by steve's daughter cassidy,the flower girl. after she had emptied the basket of flowers,the wedding march started and everyone rose to their feet,as ronda,walked down the aisle with her father.she looked like a tall,thin mass of white. if you didn't know it was ronda,you wouldn't have. stephanie and the other's had the lace veil ronda had going completely over her face,stopping near her waist. little did any of them know that ronda's fever had started back up again.
as ronda walked down the aisle,she started to feel sleepy again. she was in a stupor,trying to keep her eyes focused. when she finally made it up to hunter,she leaned against him for support,he thought she was just trying to be close to him,so he wrapped an arm around her waist.
"dearly beloved,we are gathered here today,to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony..."the minister continued. to ronda,it seemed like everything was going in slow motion. she started to get bored and started humming to herself.
"da da dada dun dun da da..." hunter heard this and looked over at her confused.
"ronda,what are you doing?"he whispered. the minister kept talking.
"marriage should not be walked into lightly,it's an eternal partnership in the eyes of-"
"oh,will you hurry it up already?!"ronda asked,annoyed.
"ronda-"hunter started.
"no,don't 'ronda' me,he's taking all day, i'm getting hungry up here. can you just skip to the 'i do's' so we can all get up out of here,cuz a sister is hungrier than a mug,y'know what i'm saying?" everyone was in complete shock,then the minister cleared his throat.
"alright then,do you,paul,take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife? to have and to hold, through richer or poorer,sickeness and in health,good times and bad from this day forth?
"i do."
"and,do you ronda,take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband? to have and to-"
"yeah,yeah,yeah, i know,you ain't gotta repeat all that stupid crap. i do,ok?"
"well..um,if anyone here sees any reason why this man and this woman should not be joined in holy matrimony,SPEAK NOW,or forever hold your peace."the minister said,looking out to the crowd,eyes pleading. even dwayne,who had thought about standing up at this very moment decided to sit down,this was way too weird...but entertaining. when the minister noticed that no one was gonna say anything,he continued on. "i understand that you each have written your own vows?"
"yes." hunter nodded,and turned to ronda,holding her hands. "ronda,from the day we met i felt a connection with you. we were friends first,but it quickly gave way to love..." hunter was still talking,but ronda was just staring at him,listening but not really hearing anything he was saying until he was done. "...and i know that our lives together will be full of love as long as we can spend them together." he said,smiling. for the first time,ronda lifted up her veil.
"oh,my god."lisa whispered.
"what is she gonna do?"said nora.
"ew,what if she has to barf right now?"said amy,and lisa pinched her again. meanwhile,ronda had moved her veil completely back,and looked around the chapel and the people in it with new eyes. then she looked to her soon- to-be-husband,then slowly started to smile.
"dude, your nose is soooo big!"she said,then burst out laughing. snickers could be heard throughout the church as hunter blushed slightly.
"ronda,what are you doing?"he whispered through clenched teeth. ronda let out one last snort of laughter,then fainted.
A/N-*i put dressing curtain because i could NOT think of what those things are called, those chinese things you get dressed behind is what i was gonna call it...
