This chapter, Inside Cory's Head, is a glimpse into what Cory is thinking right before his wedding to Topanga. I don't think I write Cory's thoughts very well, but I thought that, as the groom, he deserved a chapter, too.

Inside Cory's Head

I'M GETTING MARRIED TODAY! YAY!

Wait…since I'm actually getting married, I should be thinking more adult, serious, dignified, about-to-be-married thoughts.

Forget that. Back to the normal Cory Matthews thought process. In a word: YAY!

I can't believe Topanga and I are finally getting married. Although in some ways, it seems like we've already been married for fifty years.

Only one thing is spoiling this for me. One person, to be specific. Shawn Hunter. Shawn Hunter--traitor, ex-best man, and possibly ex-best friend. I KNOW he's depressed. I KNOW he thinks that he's losing his best friend. But does he have to freak out right before my wedding?

Yes, apparently he does. And do you know where that leaves me? With Eric as my best man! Does anyone else here smell a disaster just waiting to crash down upon us all? Okay, trying not to focus on any possible impending disasters. Snap out of it, Cory!

Getting ready for the wedding. Focus! Well, I think I'm ready. Tux--on. Hair--still curly, no use trying to tame it now. Hmm, it didn't take me very long to get ready. I wonder if Topanga is ready yet. Maybe I'll go check. No--she'd kill me, she really would. No seeing the bride before the wedding and all that.

What is Eric doing? I wonder if he knows that I can see him making those faces at himself in the mirror?

There's Dad. I have to go out there now? But Shawn should be here with me, not Eric! Focus, Cory, focus! I'll think about that later. Time to get married!

YAY!
