One more chapter to go! Where has the time gone? I'll put out a big thank you in for the next chapter, but thank you all for sticking with the story. Kind of got inspired from watching Say Yes to the Dress, kind of. As for the sequel, I need some ideas. I have a concept of where I want to go, but I would love some more stuff.

Also, I know some people would like to know what the dress would look like. Here's what I found: theknot fashion/ 15582-christina-wu-wedding-dress

Girostritron – Isn't it wonderful?

Digidestined10 – So cute!

ColorGuardianoftheGalaxy – I don't know what to say. That has to be the best thing I have ever read/sang/listen to in my whole life. You are my favorite person right now!

Shannon K – Really? I had no idea that pork baby back ribs came from a pig that it made of pork. That's incredible! It's a joke my friend. Just making fun of Steve and how much he eats. You don't need to look that much into it.

Ziggy55 – Thank you thank you!

Ninavs2 – It's wonderful isn't it?

Princess2016 – Nope, this one and then one more.

Semper Paratus – Piles of gooey feelings is great! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

CJ/OddBall – I love reactions like yours. That means I did my job. As for the relationship between Bucky and Mady, you'll just have to wait for the next story which will be a while yet. I need to figure out how I want to incorporate Mady into that storyline. I have some ideas, but nothing is set in stone.

Chapter 36

"I'm not sure how I feel about this one," Mady spun around in front of the mirror. "It's too….what's the word I'm looking for?"

"Poofy?"

"Boring?"

"Ugly?"

"I am so glad I brought you along with me," she sighed. "Mom, why couldn't I have any sisters? They would be much more helpful with this situation."

"Excuse us?" Lisa, Jess, Kelly, and Jamie said. "Are we invisible? However, I would agree with them. This dress is not you. At all."

"I am glad that's settled." Mady stepped down from the stool. "C'mon, Kelly, we have one more to try on. I hope you know what you're doing. I don't think I can try on anymore dresses."

"Trust me, this is the one," she smiled. "This one has Madalyn Rose Rogers written all over it."

"I'll be the judge of that."

After taking off the previous dress, Kelly helped her best friend into the final dress on the rack. She knew this was the one. It was form-fitting with lace and the right amount of bling, all of the things she knew Mady wanted.

"Oh my god," Mady gasped, hands flying over her mouth. "Kelly, this is it. This is my wedding dress."

"I told you, didn't I?" Kelly grinned, hugging her tightly. "Come on, let's go show the others. They are going to die."

"Not the word I would use," Mady commented, following her out the door to her mom and sisters-in-law. "But there will be tears."

There were tears.

Linda couldn't speak.

Lisa and Jess started to cry.

Jamie couldn't have smiled any wider.

This was her dress.

"I told you this was the one," Kelly tied Mady's hair up quickly to make sure the overall look was indeed perfect. "What do you think, mama Hewitt? Does your daughter look like a bride or what?"

"She looks like a princess," she sobbed. "If you're father was here he would be crying too."

"That's why I didn't bring him," Mady said. "I can only handle so many people crying at one time."

"Is this your dress?" they all asked her.

"Yes!" she exclaimed.

Mady was amazed at how much they were able to get done in two weeks. At first she thought there was no way they would be able to get everything set up to have a wedding, but there she was, standing in front of the mirror in her room, waiting for her dad to come get her so they could walk down the aisle.

"I can't believe my baby girl is finally getting married. Jared even beat you. No one would have guessed that," Marcus wiped a stray tear away. "You look beautiful. Steve is one lucky man."

"I'm the lucky one, dad," Mady looked over herself once more before shaking her head. "I'm ready. It still baffles me that we got all this done. Everything looks so beautiful. Almost like a fairy tale."

"Just like you imagined it when you were a little girl, and there's only one thing missing from it," Marcus offered her his arm. "Let's get you married."

Together, they exited the house and made their way out to the backyard. Mady couldn't have asked for a better day. There was no cloud in the sky, and the sun was shining down on the twenty guests she could see waiting for her by the lake.

Twenty people, now that had to be a record. But the less people that knew she and Steve were getting married the better off they would be. She could only imagine what would happen if word got out.

But what Mady couldn't believe was how beautiful the transformation of the backyard was. No matter how many times she looked at it, she couldn't help but marvel at the decorations as she walked through the grass towards the small section of chairs facing the trellis full of roses.

Everything looked absolutely perfect, but the icing on the cake was the man waiting for her at the altar. Steve Rogers was an attractive man. There was no denying that, but there was something about him standing there in a tux that made her heart swoon like it never had before. This man was going to be her husband. How did she get so lucky?

"Take care of my baby girl, Steve," Marcus told him once they reached him. "Super Soldier you might be, but that doesn't mean I won't come after you if you step out of line."

"I wouldn't dream of it, sir," Steve replied, taking Mady's hand. "You look gorgeous."

"Thank you, you look pretty good yourself." She hoped someone snapped a few pictures of him crying when she walked down the aisle.

There words of the officiant flowed in one ear and out the other, the couple never truly paying attention to what he was saying; only focusing on the man in front of her, the man who would be her husband in a matter of minutes. It was when the officiant pronounced them man and wife that her mind came back to the reality. Just in time to kiss her husband.

What a wonderful kiss it was.

"I love you," Steve couldn't help but kiss her again, dipping her down low. "I love you so much, Mrs. Rogers."

"I love you too, Mr. Rogers," the fluttering in her stomach wouldn't stop.

"Let her breath, man," Jared hollered from the front row. "Save it for later, some of us want to eat."

"Weren't you eating something before we got started?" Mady asked.

"Yeah, but that was hours ago," her brother jumped to his feet. "Come on, people, let's eat!"

"They look so happy," Linda rested her head on her husband's shoulder as they watched her daughter and son-in-law dance in the middle of the make-shift dance floor. "I'm so glad everything worked out."

"Did you have a doubt?" Marcus asked.

"A little bit when they came back from Sokovia," she answered. "And then there was the time when-"

"You worry too much, sweetheart," the old man chuckled, kissing her temple. "That's all in the past. Look at them; nothing is going to break these two up."

"All right, you two, that's enough," Jared plopped into the empty chair beside his parents. "We only need one lovey-dovey couple today, and it's not you two. I don't want to have nightmares tonight."

"We can be whatever we want to be, young man. Where's Jamie?"

"She had to run off to the bathroom," Jared said. "She's been feeling off the entire weekend."

"I hope she's all right," Linda looked at her boy, concerned.

"She'll be all right. She has a doctor's appointment tomorrow afternoon," he said. "Hi, honey. We were just taking about you."

"That's not good," Jamie sighed, sitting on his lap. "Today was absolutely wonderful wasn't it? I am amazed at how we got everything done in time, and that dress! Did you see Steve's face when he saw her for the first time? Tell me you got that on camera!"

"Of course I did," Linda smiled. "What do you take me for?"

"I was just making sure. Did they say where they were going tonight?"

"Nope," Marcus answered. "All I know is Madalyn said that she was taking him someplace special before they travel across the world for the next week and a half."

"I wonder where she's taking him."

"That's for me to know, and for you to keep guessing," Mady and Steve appeared behind her talking family members. "We're going to get going, but I wanted to see you guys before we head out. Who knows when we'll see you again."

"Now?" Jared asked. "It's only ten-thirty."

"Exactly, and everyone else left," Mady commented, hugging her mother and father tightly. "Thank you all. This was a dream come true."

"You don't have to thank us for anything, dear. We are just so glad that you're happy. Steven, don't let her do anything too crazy now. I don't want to have a heart attack when you come back."

"I'll keep her in line, Linda," he hugged them both as well.

"Tell him soon," Mady whispered into Jamie's ear when she pulled away from her embrace. "Call me."

"No, you call me, and send me pictures."

"Blah, blah, blah," Jared rolled his eyes. "You and your girl talk. Get out of here all ready."

"Love you too, little brother," she hugged him the tightest. "Be good, and don't do anything stupid when I'm gone."

"No promises."

"Always reassuring, ready?"

"As ready as I'll ever be," Steve answered. "Where are we going?"

"You'll see," she grinned. "Bye guys. We'll see you for a bit when we get back, and before we go back to New York."

"You better, young lady."
