Chapter 4: Here Comes The Bride
What kind of surprises does Kerry and Carter's wedding hold for them
Kerry Weaver walked into the ER with a huge smile on her face. She couldn't wait to find Elizabeth. She saw Mark by the admit desk. She walked over to him. "Hi Mark is Elizabeth around" Mark smiled "You seem awfully happy things must be going well with you and Carter" Kerry's eyes grew wide. "Mark how did you know did Elizabeth tell you" Mark looked at her "No she didn't tell me she didn't have to I saw the way Carter looked at you and took care of you at Dr. Lawrence's funeral" Kerry blushed a little "Well yes things are great with us we're engaged" She lifted her hand to show Mark her ring. Mark smiled. He hugged her. "That's great! Congratulations!" Kerry smiled "Thank you Mark" He nodded "I think Elizabeth is in the lounge changing Ella" Kerry thanked him and headed for the lounge.
Kerry pushed open the door and walked in to the lounge. Elizabeth was buttoning up Ella's little pants. Kerry smiled she hoped that her and John would have a baby someday. Elizabeth looked up and saw Kerry standing there with a big smile on her face. "Hey Kerry you look happy" Kerry smiled "Guess what! John and I are engaged!" She showed Elizabeth her ring. Elizabeth shrieked with happiness. "Oh Kerry I'm so happy for you!" Kerry giggled "Elizabeth I want you to be my maid of honor." Elizabeth giggled "I'd love to!" Elizabeth's pager sounded she looked at it "Robert sure has lousy timing I better get Ella up to daycare but we'll defiantly talk later." She gave Kerry a quick hug and disappeared out the door. Kerry sighed she decided to call Jeanie. She walked over to the phone and dialed her number. She had a great chat with Jeanie she had agreed to be one of Kerry's bridesmaids.
Kerry sat down on the couch wondering who else she could ask to be a bridesmaid. Just then the lounge door opened and Susan walked in. She smiled "Hi Kerry" Kerry smiled "Hey Susan do you have a minute" Susan nodded and sat beside Kerry. "Sure what's up" Kerry smiled again "Well John and I are engaged" Susan smiled the evening had been a success. "That's wonderful Kerry I'm happy for both of you!" Kerry grinned "Thank you Susan I was wondering would you be one of my bridesmaids?" Susan was stunned she didn't think Kerry liked her. She looked at Kerry "Are you serious?" Kerry nodded "Of course I am" Susan smiled and hugged Kerry "In that case I'd love to" Susan got up went to her locker and got her lab coat. "I'll see you later Kerry" She too left the lounge. Kerry smiled things were going great all she needed is one more bridesmaid and someone to give her away. She thought about Gabe she really missed him. She wished he were here to give her away. She thought of someone to give her away she hoped he's say yes she hadn't spoken to him in awhile. She got up and went over to the phone and dialed a number. A few minutes later she hung up with a smile on her face. Now all she needed was one last bridesmaid. She decided on Carol. As if on cue Carol entered the lounge she looked tired. Kerry smiled "Hey Carol you ok?" Carol let out a breath and giggled "Oh yeah I'm fine I've just been chasing twin two year olds all morning" Kerry giggled too. "Carol, John and I are engaged" Carol looked at her with wide eyes "Wow that's great congratulations!" Kerry smiled "I need a bridesmaid and I was hoping you would do it" Carol smiled "Kerry I'm touched of course I will." Kerry had that out of the way now she had to find the prefect dress.
Carter approached the surgical ward he was nervous about asking Peter to be his best man. He smiled at the surgical nurse at the desk. "Hi Shirley is Dr. Benton around" She smiled "Hey Dr. Carter I think he's in the locker room" Carter thanked her and headed toward the locker room. He took a deep breath and walked in. Peter was sitting on the bench changing into a scrub top. He looked up and saw Carter standing there. "Hey Carter what's up?" Carter looked at him "Well I asked Kerry to marry me and she said yes" Peter smiled "Hey man that's great! Congratulations!" Carter looked at him and nervously said "I was hoping you'd be my best man" Peter grinned "Of course I will man" Carter was relieved "Thank you Peter. He nodded "Sure Carter I'll see you later I have to go scrub. Peter got up and exited the locker room. Carte smiled that was out of the way
Later that day Kerry sat in the lounge surrounded by bridal magazines. She thumbed through them . She looked at all the beautiful women in their wedding gowns. She sighed as reached down and rubbed her leg. All the dresses were so pretty but she knew she would never look like any of the models wearing them. Few tears rolled down her cheeks. She hated that stupid crutch. She picked up and screamed "I hate you" She threw her crutch across the room. It just missed Doug as he walked into the lounge. He laughed "I didn't think you hated me that much" Kerry smiled a little. "Sorry Doug I just hate that stupid thing it always ruins everything" Doug gave her a puzzled look "How does it ruin everything?" Kerry showed Doug her hand. "John and I are engaged" Doug smiled "That's fantastic I'm happy for you" Kerry sighed "Thanks but I'm having second thoughts" Doug looked at her. "Why are you having second thoughts" Kerry picked up one of the magazines "This Doug look in here and tell me how many brides you see walking down the isle with a crutch!" She hurls the magazine against the wall as fresh tears spill from her eyes.
Doug sat down next to her. He whispers "Kerry look at me" She looks at him her blue-green eyes still filled with tears. "I know you're not going to throw away your future with Carter because of a piece of metal, It didn't stop him from falling in love with you so don't let it stop you from marrying him" He picked the magazine off the floor. "Kerry you'll look beautiful no matter what dress you choose and I know that nobody will even notice your crutch they'll be to busy looking at your beautiful smiling face." Kerry couldn't believe how sweet Doug really was. She was glad that he had decided to return to County. She smiled at him. "Thank you Doug" He hugged her. "Anytime Kerry" Kerry grabbed the magazine Doug had. "Do you want to see the dress I picked out" Doug nodded "Sure" She leafed through the pages until she found what she was looking for. She showed it to Doug. "That's the dress I'll be wearing and no the next page is the dress Elizabeth, Susan, Jeanie and Carol will be wearing." Doug smiles "you will look beautiful Kerry" She blushes "Thank you" Doug's pager goes off. "Well it looks like some sick kid needs me" He gets up and gets Kerry's crutch and sets it beside her. "Are you going to be ok Kerry?" She smiles "I am now thanks to you" Doug smiles "I'm glad I could help" he leans over and kisses Kerry on the cheek . He disappears out the door.
That evening Kerry and Carter sat at the kitchen table making the guest list for their wedding. They had Mark & Elizabeth, Peter, Cleo, Luka & Abby, Doug & Carol, Susan, Dr. Anspaugh, Jerry, Randi, Jeanie & Reggie, Dr. Ramomo, all the nurses, and Carter's Gamma. There were two names missing from the list. Kerry looked at Carter. "Honey you can invite Jing Mei she's your friend and you should really invite your parents." Carter sighed "Well I would like to invite Deb but my parents I mean you can invite them but I doubt if they show up." Kerry saw a hint of sadness in his eyes. She gently squeezed his arm. "Why don't you think they would come you're their son" Carter looked down at the table. He whispers "Yeah but not the son that counts they never approve of anything I do they think my career as a doctor is a waste of time, they never even showed up when I was stabbed if you met them you might think twice about becoming a part of the Carter family" Kerry gently lifted his chin. "John you are the only Carter I care about and no matter what your parents may say or do I'd never change my mind about becoming a Carter because I love you" Carter looked at her and smiled "Falling in love with you was the best thing I ever did" Kerry smiled "That goes double for me"
She looks down at the list one name was still missing "John what about Dave" Carter rolled his eyes "What about him" Kerry looked at him "I think we should invite him" Carter looked at her "Why should we after the way he treated you" Kerry took a breath :Because John I think its the right thing to do he's our friend" Carter couldn't believe what he was hearing "Friend!?! A friend wouldn't have called you such horrible names" Kerry reached up and touched his cheek "John he was angry people say things when their angry" Carter couldn't resist her when she pouted she looked so adorable. He smiled "Fine you win Dave is invited" Kerry smiled she had two more people to invite but they weren't on the list she wanted to surprise John.
It was now Kerry and Carter's wedding day. Kerry was a nervous wreak she was in her room with Elizabeth, Carol, Susan, and Jeanie. Kerry looked at herself in the mirror. She smiled nervously. Elizabeth had done a wonderful job helping her with her makeup. She was starting to get into her dress when there was a soft knock on the door. Carol rushed over to the door to make sure it wasn't Carter. When she opened it she was very surprised to see Maggie Doyle and Anna Del Amieco standing there. Carol squealed with delight as she hugged her two friends. Kerry smiled "Well let them in Carol" Kerry now stood there in her wedding gown. It was a cream colored form fitting off the shoulder gown with three small roses etched on at each shoulder. In the back was a long silk train that glided along the floor and in her hair she had three white roses pinned that matched the roses on her dress. All six women were smiling. Elizabeth spoke for them "Kerry you look beautiful" Anna nodded in agreement "Yes Kerry you look fantastic!" Maggie giggled "You look great Kerry John will be all over you" Kerry blushed. She looked at Elizabeth, Carol, Susan and Jeanie. They wore light purple gowns that were also off the shoulders. Kerry smiled "You all look beautiful too" They all said thank you at the same time. Kerry grabbed her bouquet of white roses off the bed and the bridesmaids each carried smaller bouquets of white roses. Kerry looked at the crutch propped up against the wall. She wished she didn't need it. She sighed as she grabbed it. Her and her friends left and headed for the church.
Carter ,Peter, Mark, Luka, Doug, and Reggie were all ready at the church they were all dressed in matching tuxes and each one had one small rose pined to their lapel. Carter rubbed his hands together as he paced back and forth. He looked out into the pews. They were filling up with his and Kerry's friends. He noticed that both Jing Mei and Dave had showed up and they were together. He had to remember to ask Deb about that later. Everyone they had invited had showed up except for his parents. He sighed as his grandmother approached him. She saw the disappointment in her grandson's eyes. "John you look handsome" he hugged her "Thank you Gamma" She smiled "You're upset because your parents didn't come aren't you" Carter nodded "I knew they weren't going to come but I really thought that just maybe I'd be wrong but it doesn't really matter because you're here Gamma" She hugged him "Of course I'm here John you're my grandson and I love you" "I'll see you after the ceremony" Carter watched his grandmother take a seat in the pews.
Kerry was now at the church in the waiting room with her friends. She was really nervous now for in a matter of minutes she would be marrying John. There was a knock at the door. Susan opened it she was very surprised to see David Morganstein and he was as equally surprised to see her.

David smiled "Wow Kerry you look incredible" Kerry smiled "Thank you David." Kerry heard the wedding march and she knew what that meant.
Carter stood at the front of the church with Peter at his side. He looked out at the pews and was very surprised to see his friends Anna and Maggie sitting in the front row. They smiled and waved at him. He waved back. The wedding march began to play. Carol walked down the isle on Doug's arm, Jeanie walked down the isle on Reggie's arm Susan walked down the isle on Luka's arm and Elizabeth walked down the isle on Mark's arm. Kate and Tess totted down the isle sprinkling rose petals. Everyone awed. Then the bride's music started. David smiled at Kerry That's your cue" Kerry grabbed her crutch but David took it from her he whispers "Don't worry I got you" Kerry smiled. He took her arm and they made their way down the isle. Both Carter and Peter were surprised to see Dr. Morganstein. Carter smiled as he watched his beautiful bride walk toward him. David smiles at Carter as he puts Kerry's hand in his. Kerry started to wobble a little with out her crutch. Carter held put his arm around her. He whispers "Don't worry I won't let you fall" he adds "You look beautiful Kerry"
Kerry and Carter had written their own vows. Carter: "My life was incomplete until I found you. Every moment I've shared with you is a moment I treasure. I'm looking forward to sharing a lifetime of moments with you and I will treasure every one of them" It was Kerry 's turn she had tears in her eyes as she spoke. Kerry: "When I look into your eyes I see my future. Its full of happiness and love. You've made all my dreams come true and I will always love you more than words could ever say" Carter's eyes began to tear as he listened to Kerry's beautiful words.
The priest smiled at the couple. "Now it's time for the exchanging of the rings" Peter handed Carter a small gold band. Carter slid it on to Kerry's small finger. He smiled. "With this ring I thee wed." Peter then handed Kerry the other gold band. She smiled as she slipped it on to John's finger. "With this ring I thee wed."

Carter wrapped his arm around his new wife's waist "So how about a dance with your husband" Kerry smiled. "I'd love to" Carter took her hand and led her to the dance floor. They slowly danced their first dance as husband and wife.
Maybe it's intuition
But some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes
I see my future in an instant
And there it goes
I think I've found my bestfriend
I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I've been waiting all my life
There's just no rhyme or reason
Only the sense of completion
And in your eyes
I see the missing pieces
I'm searching for
I think I've found my way home
I know it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I've been waiting all my life
A thousand angels dance around you
I'm complete now that I've found you
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I've been waiting all my life.
Carter held Kerry close to him as they danced in each others arms. Kerry looked up into his eyes. She whispers "I love you John Carter" Carter smiles "I love you too Kerry Carter" She smiled as she laid her head on John's shoulder. She had never been happier that she was at that moment dancing in her husband's arms.
