My Only Love Part 6

Julian's trial was swift and easy. He was convicted on all charges and would spend the rest of his life in jail without any chance of getting out. Luis and TC cheered the loudest when the conviction was read. No one else payed much attention to them because they were cheering too.

6 weeks later came the big day. Sheridan and Luis's wedding. The pamphlet handed out at the ceremony read as this:

Maid-Of-Honor: Charity Standish

Bridesmaids: Eve Russell

Grace Bennett

Jessica Bennett

Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald

Whitney Russell

Simone Russell

Flower Girl: Kayla White

Best Man: Miguel Lopez-Fitzgerald

Groomsmen: TC Russell

Sam Bennett

Reese Durkee

Ethan Bennett

Chad Harris

Hank Bennett

Ushers: Ben Garden

Enrique Gonzales



Ring Bearer: Joshua Mason

The ceremony was beautiful; beyond beautiful. The bridesmaids wore beautiful navy blue dresses with navy blue gloves that went up to their elbows. Charity wore the same thing except her dress had a short navy blue train on it.

Then, Sheridan walked down the aisle, wearing a white wedding dress so gorgeous and well-designed, you could have thought she was a princess. Everyone gasped when they saw her. Luis watched from the other end of the Church with a big smile; he had never imagined her looking so beautiful. He couldn't believe it. He was getting married.

Finally Sheridan reached the alter. She and Luis held hands. She smiled back at him. In just a few moments, they would be husband and wife.

The priest began. "Friends and family, we are gathered here today on this joyous occasion, to witness the union of two very special people; Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald and Sheridan Crane. Two people destined for each other." Meanwhile, Sheridan and Luis were still looking at each other, thinking about the times they had together; from their first kiss, to Sheridan's return, to Luis proposing to her, to planning their wedding, to today. (If this were on television, you'd be hearing "Imagine" by Jane French playing while showing their memories.) "Luis place this ring on Sheridan's finger." He did. "Do you Luis, take Sheridan as your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?"

"I do."

"Sheridan, place this ring on Luis's finger." She did. "And do you Sheridan, take Luis as your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?"

"I do."

"By the power invested in me, by the state of Massachusetts, I hereby pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Luis and Sheridan kissed for the first time as a married couple, as everyone else in the Church cheered. Then they walked down the aisle together, looking at each other with the most happiest looks anyone could ever have. It was the happiest day of their lives.

At the beginning of the wedding reception, Luis made an announcement. "About 3 weeks ago, Sheridan and I decided that at our wedding we'd sing a song together. Well, we are. It's meant to be a duet. It's from the movie "Anastasia" called "At The Beginning" by Richard Marx and Donna Lewis. And we've been rehearsing it ever since, although we've never rehearsed it together, we've rehearsed on our own. This is the first time we'll be singing it together." Chad, who was also the DJ at the wedding, put on the instrumental version of the song and they soon started singing.

Sheridan: We were strangers, starting out on a journey

Never dreaming, what we'd have to go through

Now here we are, and I'm suddenly standing

At the beginning with you

Luis: No one told me, I was going to find you

Unexpected, what you did to my heart

Both: When I lost hope, you were there to remind me

This is the start

Both: Life is a road and I wanna keep going

Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing

Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey

I'll be there when the world stops turning

I'll be there when the storm is through

In the end I wanna be standing, at the beginning with you

Sheridan: We were strangers, on a crazy adventure

Luis: Never dreaming, how are dreams would come true

Both: Now here we stand, unafraid of the future

At the beginning with you

Both: Life is a road and I wanna keep going

Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing

Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey

I'll be there when the world stops turning

I'll be there when the storm is through

In the end I wanna be standing, at the beginning with you

Both: I knew there was somebody somewhere

Like me alone in the dark

Now I know my dream will live on

I've been waiting so long

Nothing's gonna tear us apart

Both: Life is a road and I wanna keep going

Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing

Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey

I'll be there when the world stops turning

I'll be there when the storm is through

In the end I wanna be standing, at the beginning with you

Both: Life is a road and I wanna keep going

Love is a river I wanna keep going on

Sheridan: Starting out on a journey

Both: Life is a road and I wanna keep going

Love is a river I wanna keep flowing

In the end I wanna be standing

At the beginning with you

There were no mistakes. They sang it exactly as it sounded on the soundtrack. Everyone clapped and cheered all throughout the song, and they cheered the loudest at the end. Sheridan and Luis walked back to their friends.

"I didn't know you could sing!" Hank exclaimed.

"Yeah, well, we had no reason to before this," Sheridan replied.

"You guys were great," Grace said.

"Thanks," said Luis.

"By the way, Luis we have a surprise for you," TC said suddenly.

"What is it?" TC then turned his head and nodded to Chad. Chad pressed a button and suddenly 'The Funky Chicken' started playing. "Oh my God." was all Luis could say.

"Surprise!" They all said (all meaning the groomsmen, bridesmaids, Charity, and Miguel). All Luis could do was laugh. Pretty soon, everyone was dancing the funky chicken.

Soon it was time for Luis and Sheridan's dance alone on the floor. They danced to their song, 'Imagine' by Jane French. As they were dancing, they kept looking into each other's eyes, thinking that they were the only two people in the world. "I love you, Mrs. Lopez-Fitzgerald" Luis said smiling.

"I love you too, Luis." They both kissed.

A short while later, Miguel gave his best man speech. "I've known Luis all my life, after all, he's my big brother." Everyone laughed. "He's been like a father to me. I've looked up to him forever. I still do." Luis just smiled. "I'm glad that he's found happiness. When you're in the room with him and Sheridan, you know that you are in the presence of love." Sheridan held Luis's hand. "And Sheridan, you better take care of Luis for me."

"Don't worry, I will."

"Let's all make a toast to Luis and Sheridan, may they live a long and happy life together."

"Amen to that," everyone else said.

Charity then stood up to give her maid-of-honor speech. "I've known Luis since a first came to Harmony a while ago. I've known Sheridan for a while too, but we didn't become friends until almost two months ago. I'm glad that Sheridan has finally found happiness. I love you guys." Sheridan and Luis smiled back at her. "Congratulations."

Pretty soon everyone was dancing on the floor again. Simone, though, walked over to the table where Ivy was sitting and sat next to her. Ivy looked depressed. "You're not dancing?"

"Just bummed over losing Sam." Last week Sam told her that even though Ethan was their son, it would not make him love her again. He loved only Grace. Ivy finally got the message. "But Sheridan's married, so I'm happy. And, hey, no longer married to Julian anymore." She smiled for a split second. "And Ethan's happy, so I'm not going to let anything make me sad." But she clearly showed that she was still unhappy.

Simone knew how that felt. She had been upset over losing Chad. But she moved on. She was happy for Whitney. "Hey, she's gonna throw the bouquet now. Wanna come?"

"No," Ivy replied. Then she looked up and smiled. "Thanks."

Simone smiled back and walked away. "Was I just bonding with Ivy Crane?" she thought, a weird look on her face.

Sheridan threw the bouquet. Charity, Theresa, and Whitney weren't in it because they knew who'd they be spending the rest of their lives with. Once Sheridan threw the bouquet everyone went jumping for it. It soon became a battle between Simone and Jessica. The only good way of describing it was "Bouquet Football". Everyone was laughing as they were watching Simone and Jessica fight over the bouquet. One second it was in Simone's hand, and then Jessica's. They were on the floor tackling each other for it.

Finally, they came to an agreement. "Split it?" Simone asked.

"Sure." They stood up. "Does anyone have any scissors? We're going to split this." Everyone started laughing again and even clapped for the very interesting decision. Grace cut the bouquet in half for them, and they each took one them.

Luis then threw the garter. Likewise, Miguel, Ethan, and Chad weren't in the running because they knew who'd they be spending the rest of their lives with. Reese caught it, no football game there; everyone had to laugh because of that.

After a while of dancing and talking, Ethan and Theresa walked over to the newlyweds.

"Hey, Ethan Bennett," Luis said.

"How does it sound?" Ethan asked. All four of them laughed. "We have something to tell you," he said, his arm around Theresa's shoulder. "We're getting married in four months."

"Wow! That's great!" Luis and Sheridan both exclaimed.

"You're the first ones to know," Theresa said.

"Man, I knew you were engaged, but I still can't believe my little sister's getting married."

"I can't believe my big brother's married." They hugged.

Ethan turned to Sheridan. "It always felt like we were brother and sister and in four months we will be." They hugged each other too.

"Who's gonna be your best man? Who's gonna be your maid-of-honor?" Sheridan asked.

"We're gonna ask Chad and Whitney," Theresa answered.

"Well go tell them; they're over there," Sheridan said. They all hugged again and Ethan and Theresa went over to Chad and Whitney. Pilar then came over. "Acting like Ethan," Sheridan began, "it always felt like we were mother and daughter and now we really are." They hugged.

"Just take care of my baby boy," Pilar said, with tears in her eyes. They hugged again.

"I promise."

A second later they heard Whitney scream "Oh my God!" They turned and saw her with Ethan and Theresa. Obviously, they had told her they were getting married and she was the maid-of-honor.

"I wonder what they're talking about," Luis said. They all laughed.

The Bennetts' then walked over to them, (including Ethan and Charity). "We have something to tell you," Sam said.

"What is it?" asked Sheridan.

Sam and Grace just looked at each other. "I pregnant!" Grace almost yelled.

"Oh my gosh!" they all exclaimed.

"How long have you known?" Pilar asked.

"About 3 weeks," she answered.

"Wow, do you know what it is yet?" Sheridan asked.

"Nope, still too soon, but we'll know in a few weeks."

"Unbelievable," Luis said, smiling.

"Hey, by the way, when you and Sheridan are on your honeymoon, we're going on a camping trip," Hank said. (We, referring to the entire Bennett family, and Charity.)

"Our first family vacation with Ethan," Sam said.

"Cool. Have fun," said Luis.

TC and Eve walked up to them. "Congratulations you guys," TC said.

"Thanks," replied Luis.

"You both look so happy," said Eve.

"We are, Eve. Thank you," Sheridan replied. They all hugged each other.

Reese came up to them. "Congratulations."

"Thanks, Reese."

A few minutes later Sheridan and Luis stepped outside for a moment alone. "We're married. I can't believe it," Sheridan said.

"I know. Two months ago we weren't even dating," Luis said. "That's scary isn't it?"

They both laughed for a second. "Yea, but not as scary as almost losing you," Sheridan said, serious now.

"You almost losing me? How about me almost losing you?"

"Both of us almost losing each other, how about that?"

"Yea, sure." They both kissed, a long passionate kissed. "Let's not think about something sad and scary, this is the best day of our lives. We're married, we're going to spend the rest of our lives together."

"Okay," Sheridan said smiling. They kissed again. Then she laughed. "I'm glad we have the whole bouquet football thing on tape."

Luis laughed too. "Yea, that's something we can watch even 10 years from now."

"I love you, Luis."

"I love you too, Sheridan." They kissed again.

"Let's get back inside," Sheridan said. They did. Miguel, Charity, and Chad were there to meet them.

"What have you two been up to?" Chad asked, a look on his face that implied what everyone means when they ask a newlywed couple that. Miguel and Charity had the same look on their faces.

"Not that," Luis said. They all laughed.

A few hours after the reception, Sheridan and Luis left for their 2-week honeymoon in the Bahamas. True love keeps people together for all time.
