2 months later-May 12th

Max fidgeted as Original Cindy and Kendra helped her into her dress.

"Hold still girl, before you rip something" Original Cindy scolded her

"Sorry" she replied sheepishly

"Nervous?" Kendra asked, zipping her up

"Who me? Nervous? ...Yeah" ((crap, I should have gone to the bathroom before getting into this dress! What if I start to sweat?))

"Don't worry, It's all good" Original Cindy told her

"Yeah...all the time" Max responded halfheartedly, once again looking at the clock and beginning to pace around the room. "I can't do this" she declared, turning to face Kendra and Original Cindy.

"Course you can boo." Cindy said

"And we aren't letting you go anywhere" Kendra added, pulling Max into a hug

Max sighed and hugged her back. "Thanks guys....I don't know what I would do without you!" she said, tears gathering in her eyes

"You my homegirl! That's what I'm here for!" Cindy assured her, joining the group hug. There was a knock on the door and Herbal and Sketchy poked their heads in.

"They're ready" Sketchy said, looking Max over

"Max, you look....wonderful" Herbal told her, also looking her up and down. She was wearing a simple white wedding gown. Strapless, it had a full skirt and a short train. The neckline wasn't as daring as some things she had worn, but it was low enough!

Blushing at the compliment, Max lightly punched Herbal's shoulder and said "You don't look so bad yourself" indicating the suit and tie he was wearing, a far cry from his usual getup.

"Go get em Max!" Sketchy cheered, pushing her out the door after Original Cindy and Kendra, who were maids of honor. "We're right behind you!" he added, then said under his breath, "And enjoying the view!" as he let out a low whistle. It was cut short by Herbal smacking him.

"Look elsewhere" Herbal suggested

"Sorry man" Sketchy looked down at the floor, taking one last peek as Max left the room.

Logan stood at the alter, nervously licking his lips and running his hands through his hair. When the music began, Logan snapped his head around and watched as Bling, then Original Cindy and Kendra come up the aisle. Bling came to stand behind Logan. Suddenly, Logan asked,

"Do you have the ring?"

Bling had intended on drawing out the search for the ring when the time came, but seeing the anxious look on his friends face, he nodded and said, "Right here" patting his pocket. Logan sighed and once again concentrated on the door, through which Max would come soon enough. When she did appear, Logan was struck dumb ((Oh God, oh God....I know I don't normally have any deep conversations with you...but please let this work out...oh jeez...what if I faint?))

Max advanced slowly up the aisle, keeping her eyes lowered, not wanting to tempt the ever ready tears to flow freely. As she took each step closer to her new life, she was scared stiff. On the verge of running, Max took a deep breath and looked up, to see Logan staring at her, only love and acceptance in his eyes. ((Oh God, oh God....please don't let me run...let this work out....am I sweating? Don't cry....))

Logan watched, his total attention focused on Max, as she came ever closer. Seeing her hesitate, he willed her to look at him. ((come on Max, keep coming...this is the moment I've been waiting for ever since I met you...))

Max drew up even with him, her eyes still on the floor ((I'm not gonna cry, I'm not gonna cry...))

Logan reached out and took her hand, trying to see her eyes through the veil that covered them, both the physical one, and the material one. Then, they turned as one towards the priest as he began the ceremony. After "Dearly Beloved" Logan spaced out, intent on gazing at the lovely face, the part that was visible under the veil.

He was brought back to the present by a jab in his side and Max hissing "Logan!"

"Huh?" he asked, looking up at the priest, who was returning the gaze, although quite pointedly.

"Ahem" he cleared his throat, looking down at the couple

"Oh! I do!" Logan proclaimed, his face flushing as the guests chuckled

"And do you, Max Guevara, take Logan Cale to be your lawfully wedded husband...."

"Yes! I do!" Max interrupted him before he could finish, in her haste to get it over with.

"Well, if you're that impatient," he said, hiding a grin, as he looked down at them, "Do you have the rings?" Bling handed his to Logan, and Kendra handed hers to Max. "Logan, repeat after me. With this ring, I thee wed."

Logan gently placed the wedding band on Max's finger, stating "With this ring, I thee wed"

"Max, repeat after me. With this ring, I thee wed"

Max placed her ring on Logan's finger, saying "With this ring, I thee wed"

"Max and Logan have decided to write their own vows. Logan?"

((God, I'm so nervous...calm down...you can do this...))

"But soft; What light through yonder window breaks?
It is the East, and Juliet is the sun!
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief
That thou her maid art far more fair then she.
Be not her maid, since she is envious.
Her vestal livery is but sick and green,
And none but fools do wear it. Cast it off.
I love you Max, my Juliet."

Smiling reassuringly, the priest said "Max?"

((I can't do this....ahhh gosh....I've loved him for so long....I have to do this)) Max kept her eyes lowered as she began, only to have Logan lift her chin up. Her eyes locked onto his, and she stated:

"My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.
I love you Logan. You are...my Romeo."

Max sniffed, and laughed through her tears, as the priest said,

"I now pronounce you Husband and Wife"

Logan looked at him questioningly.

"You may kiss the bride" the priest finished, chuckling at Logan's boyish expression

Max blinked rapidly trying to hold back the ever present tears that were threatening to fall. A few did escape, only to have Logan wipe them away after lifting her veil.

"Don't cry Angel" he said, smiling down at her now wet face. This only made her cry harder, but Logan silenced her with a finger on her trembling lips "Shhh" he whispered, replacing his finger with his lips, delivering the traditional kiss. He began to pull away, not wanting to pressure her further, but Max stopped him.

"Now it's my turn" Max told him, a delighted twinkle in her eyes surfacing through the tears.

"Yes ma'am!" Logan agreed readily, allowing her to pull his face down.

"Save some for the honeymoon!" Original Cindy called out. Max pulled back reluctantly, blushing, and she sent an, "I'll deal with you later" look in Original's direction, then returned to Logan, smiling, as she whispered,

"I love you" against his lips, tempting him to give in.

"Ditto" he replied, resting his forehead against hers.

"Now ain't that a sight for sore eyes" Herbal exclaimed, putting an arm around Sketchy's shoulder, and Cindy on the other side.

"You said it boo" Cindy agreed

"Man, Max is looking--" Sketchy began, but remembering the past smack he had gotten from Herbal, he cut himself short, quickly disengaging his arms from the others and walking away to mingle with the other guests, as Cindy, Kendra and Herbal chuckled.
