Chapter 3:Wedding Bells
Lucy is sitting in the lounge with bridal magazines spread all over the table. Elizabeth walks into the lounge her belly starting to bulge she is now 5 months pregnant. She sits on the couch next to her. "I never thought it would feel so good to sit down. My feet are killing me." Lucy smiled "So that's what I have to look forward to." Elizabeth nodded "Yep you too will have the privilege of experiencing sore feet, back aches, and having to pee every five minutes." Lucy smiled "Oh goody." They both laugh. I never knew planning a wedding was so hard." Elizabeth rubbed her growing belly. "Tell me about it." She thought back a few short months ago to when her and Mark were married in a small intimate wedding with their ER family present.
The sound of Lucy's voice snaps her back to the present. "So Elizabeth will you be one of my bridesmaids?" She owed Elizabeth her life. If it hadn't been for her and Dr. Ramono she wouldn't even be her to get married. She had known as soon as Carter proposed that she wanted Elizabeth to be in her wedding. "Lucy look at me I'm huge I'll never fit into a bridesmaid dress." She smiled "Elizabeth you look great and you will fit perfectly in a bridesmaid dress." She sighed "Alright you win" . Lucy hugged her. "Thank you Elizabeth for being my bridesmaid and for saving my life" Elizabeth hugged her too "Your welcome Lucy but I got to go now it's been five minutes and you know what that means. Lucy laughs "Okay I'll see you later."
Carter was on his lunch break. He was in the cafeteria. He sees his friend Peter Benton sitting alone at a near by table. Carter walks over and sits down. "Hey Peter how are things up in the OR." Peter sighed "Hey Carter its been a busy morning I had two bowel reductions and a burst appendix." He nodded. "Wow that is a pretty busy morning." Peter then asks Carter how things were down in the ER. "It was pretty busy this morning. I had a MVA, two GSW, a bounce back migraine, and a kid with the flu." "sounds like your morning was pretty busy too. Carter took a deep breath. "Umm Peter can I ask you something? He nodded "Sure what is it." "Well, I was wondering if you'd be my bestman." Peter looked at him with a shocked expression on his face. "Are you serious?" He nodded "I'm serious I want you to be my bestman." Peter smiled I'd be honored man" Carter smiled "Thank you Peter"
Lucy had two more things to do to make her wedding complete. She had already asked Carol and Elizabeth to be her bridesmaids now all she had to do ask Kerry to be her maid of honor and find some one to give her away . She knew who she was going to ask and she knew her choice would shock the ER. She now stood outside Dr. Ramono's office. She knocks on the door. "Come in." He shouted Lucy slowly enters the office. "Hello Ms. Knight what can I do for you." He asked. "Well, Dr. Ramono I'm sure you know that in a few weeks Carter and I are getting married." He nodded. " Yes so I've heard." She was a bit nervous. "I need someone to give me away and I was hoping you would do the honors" Dr. Ramono was speechless. "You want ME to give you away" he asked stunned. She nodded. "Yes I do" At that moment Lucy saw Dr. Ramono do something no one has ever seen him do before. He smiled. "I'd be honored to walk you down the isle Lucy" She smiled and hugged him. "Thank you Dr. Ramono." He nodded as he watched her leave his office. He had become quite fond of Lucy after last Valentine's Day he was glad to be included in her wedding.
Later that day Lucy runs into Kerry "I was just coming to look for you." Kerry smiles "Why, are you ok." She nodded "Yeah but I'd be even better if you'd agree to be my maid of honor!" Kerry blushes "Umm I don't know, what about this" she raised her crutch up. Lucy smiled. "So, I still want you to be in my wedding" Kerry was touched "I'd love to be your maid of honor." She said as she hugged her. She hugs her back. "Thank you Kerry, this means so much to me"
Lucy was happy her wedding plans were coming along perfectly and it wouldn't be long until she was Mrs. John Carter.
Lucy and Carter's wedding day was the next day and it was the talk of the ER. Carter was in the lounge filling Kerry in on his big surprise for Lucy. " Yeah he's my cousin, he's getting the group to perform Lucy's favorite song at the wedding" Kerry looked stunned "You're kidding he's really you're cousin!" he nodded "Yep so do you think Lucy will like it" She nodded "Are you kidding her favorite group singing her favorite son she's gonna love it!" Lucy walked into the lounge. "Who's gonna love what" Carter smiled "Oh nothing honey" She shrugged and went about her day.
It is now Lucy and Carter's wedding day. Lucy is so nervous. She is up in Kerry's bedroom with Kerry, Carol, and Elizabeth. They were helping Lucy get ready. There's a knock at the door "Come in unless you are John." She yelled. Everybody laughed. The door opens and the they person standing there smiled "Well my name begins with a J but its not John." Kerry shrieks with happiness " Jeanie!" she gives her friend a hug. Jeanie smiled "So Lucy you finally got Carter to settle down congratulations." She hugs her.. Lucy smiled. "Thanks Jeanie I'm glad you came. So where's Reggie." She asked. "He and Carlos went ahead to the church." The five of them hurried to get Lucy ready for her big day.
At the church Carter was pacing. He was driving Peter nuts. "Man Carter chill out." He looked at him. "The church is filling up with our friends from the ER and soon Lucy and I will be married." Peter nodded. "Yeah I know but you need to try and relax." Just then a female voice said "Hi John." He turned around to see Anna Del Amico standing there. He smiled. "Hi Anna." She smiled. "What no hug?" Carter nervously hugs her. "You look great I'm glad you came." She grinned. "I wouldn't have missed it for the world. I'm glad you were able to find happiness." 'He hugged her again. "Thank You Anna." She smiled. "I'll catch you later." She took a seat in the pews.
Mark was busy being an usher showing people to their seats. He looks up he turns pale at the sight of a very familiar face. Susan Lewis walks over to him. "Hi Mark how have you been." Mark smiled nervously "I'm great I just got married and I'm about to be a dad again She smiled. "Really that's great, congratulations" she said as she hugged him.. A little girl of about five tugs on Susan's dress "Aunt Susan". Mark is shocked "Susan is this little Susie." She nodded "It sure is but she's not so little anymore" "Chloe and Joe are away on vacation so I brought her along" She looked down at her niece. "Susie this is my friend Mark." The little girl whispers "Hi." Mark smiled at her. "hey you have gotten so big I remember when you were just a baby." Susie smiles at him then she looks up at Susan. "I'll see you later Mark" she hugged him again as she grabs Susie's hand and takes a seat in the pews.. .
Carter was checking on his surprise for Lucy when he hears a familiar voice. "Well ,Well Dr. Carter is getting hitched." He knew that voice "Maggie!" he exclaimed. When he sent her the invitation he hadn't thought she would actually come. "I didn't think you would come." Maggie Doyle looked at him. "John I wouldn't miss YOUR wedding. I can't believe John Carter is settling down with one woman." He laughs "ha ha Maggie." He hugs her "I'm glad you came." She smiled "So am I" she replied as she went to take her seat in the pews.
Lucy, Kerry , Elizabeth, Carol, and Jeanie had just arrived at the church. "Oh God oh God oh God." Lucy kept repeating nervously. "Lucy what's wrong?" Kerry asked. "I'm getting married in a matter of minutes." She started to pace nervously. Her friends embrace her and tell her not to worry. Kerry looks at her. "Lucy You and John were meant to be together you have nothing to worry about." She smiled. She hugged Kerry "Thank you"
Carter and Peter are standing at the front of the church. the music starts. Carol and Elizabeth walk down the isle followed by Kerry. The wedding march begins and Lucy is led down the isle by Robert Ramono. Lots of shocked oohs and ahhs could be heard through out the church. Ramono smiles as Carter takes Lucy's hand. The priest smiles. "Before we start the ceremony John Carter has something he'd like to give his bride." Carter looks at his bride. "Luce I wanted to express my love to you with a song." He winks at a young blonde guy "Okay hit it Cos.!." Lucy is stunned to see Brian, A.J, Howie, Kevin, and Nick of the Backstreet Boys standing there at her wedding. Nick walks over to her "Lucy my cousin wanted to express his love to you with a song. Nick walks back over to the group and they begin to sing *I Promise You With Everything I Am.* Lucy looks at Carter with tears in her eyes she whispers "Thank you " she grinned "So is Nick Carter really your cousin." Carter smiled and nodded.
The Ceremony goes beautifully and when the priest said "I know pronounce you husband and wife you may kiss the bride" the whole church cheered. Carter lifted the veil from his new wife's face he pulls her into his arms and kisses her passionately. "I love you Mrs. Carter." Lucy smiled "I love you too Mr. Carter"
