~*~ Chapter 10 - I Do ~*~
Everyone was silent, even Katie who was with Mrs Ryan, as Jack and Doug walked over to the limousine. Jack opened the door, helped Jen out and escorted her down the "aisle". Doug helped Gretchen out and did the same thing. Bessie stepped out and walked on her own. was staring at the car, waiting for her to come... Bodie stepped out of the car and extended his hand... Joey stepped gracefully out of the car. She looked at Pacey and grinned, then looked down so as not to trip. She and Bodie reached the end of the aisle. Pacey took Joey's outstretched hand immediately. He felt as if he could positively burst with happiness, so did Joey, and neither of them were trying to hide it at all.
"Pacey, do you take Josephine to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
Pacey grinned. "I do."
"Josephine, do you take Pacey to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
Joey grinned as well. "I do."
The minister smiled. "I now pronounce you husband and wife. Mr Witter, you may now kiss the bride."
Pacey took Joey's other hand - their hands hadn't parted since the beginning of the ceremony. They both leant in towards each other and kissed sweetly. Everyone cheered. Embarrassed, Joey and Pacey pulled away and laughed.
The minister had one more announcement to make. "Ladies and gentlemen, family and friends, I now present to you Mr Pacey and Mrs Josephine Witter."
Everyone cheered as Pacey and Joey hurried down the aisle, trying unsuccessfully to avoid the rice which mainly Audrey was throwing. They made it to the limousine, and Dawson pulled out a camera along with everyone else.
"Oh my god, I can't believe we forgot about a photographer!" Pacey exclaimed.
"We?? You mean you! Trent is a photographer, he's doing it for us."
"Really?" Pacey asked Trent.
"Yeah, I'll be back in a minute." Trent jogged off and returned with his equipment. In total, Trent took about 30 pictures at the docks - of Pacey and Joey, with Pacey's family, with Joey's family, with the bridal parties, with all the guests.
"When's the reception?" Jack joked.
Pacey grabbed Joey's hand and they ran to the limo, laughing uncontrollably like two little kids. Joey had hired two limo's for the end of the ceremony, because she knew that she and Pacey would want to be alone, especially after not having seen each other for a whole week.
The bridal party went in the other limo.
Although Pacey and Joey were the first to leave the docks, they were the last to arrive at the B&B. They had requested to be driven around Capeside, but they didn't enjoy they scenery - in fact, they didn't even see it. Instead, they made up for their week of lost time. Their lips only parted when they needed oxygen, and then they immediately re-attached.
"What took you so long?" Bessie asked when they finally showed up. "We've been waiting for ages!"
"Sorry guys," Pacey grinned, "but we haven't seen each other for a week, we had to catch up." He winked at Joey, who laughed.
"Ok, thanks for the unpleasant images, you might have given a bit too much information!" Jack said, revolted.
"What, you jealous?" Teased Pacey.
"Ooh, you're asking for it now!"
"Ok, guys, enough with the good-natured 'fun', Pacey, you're supposed to be making me smitten TONIGHT, not now!" Joey stated.
"Who wants cake?" Bodie cut in from the kitchen.
Everyone rushed to find a good place to stand. Trent kneeled on the opposite side of the table to Pacey and Joey, taking pictures of the cake and Pacey and Joey's faces when they saw the mini-Pacey-and-Joey holding hands on top of the cake.
"Oh Bessie!" They cried, laughing whilst trying to look angry.
"What?" Bessie asked innocently. Joey just glared at her for a few seconds before having to turn around and laugh.
"Can you cut the cake already? We're starving!" Audrey complained.
"Ok, ok. You ready sweetheart?" Pacey asked.
"Of course I am darling!" Joey replied, putting on a show for Dawson who had volunteered to make a video. Mitch had been filming the ceremony, unknown to Pacey.
Pacey and Joey grabbed the knife and together they plunged it into the sticky depths of the cake.
"Hip hip?" Jack called.
"Hooray!"
"Hip hip?"
"Hooray!"
"Hip hip?"
"Hooray!"
Audrey and Jack started chanting, "kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss!"
Pacey took Joey's hands in his own. He smiled at her, then they both leant in and kissed passionately.
Jack and Audrey smiled, but when they didn't break apart, Audrey cried, "Ok, I know you guys just got married, but can you spare the rest of us and get a room!"
Pacey pulled away and smirked at her. "I told you in your first year at Worthington Audrey - be careful what you wish for. You just told us to get a room. Think. This, unless I am very much mistaken, is a Bed & Breakfast, and I do believe there are plenty of rooms available, especially since my sister-in-law owns and runs it. Now, do you really want us to get a room?"
"Fine, Pacey. you win, ok?" Audrey stated grudgingly.
"Thank you." Pacey smiled. "Dawson, make sure that's on the tape. I want to watch that over and over again."
Dawson chuckled. "Which part, kissing Joey or winning Audrey over?"
Pacey's eyes lit up. "Both!!!"
Katie started crying. Joey hurried over to her. "Sweetie, I know what you want. You're a hungry baby. Yes, and I'll bet you want Daddy to feed you too, or you'll start squirming!"
Pacey looked up from where he was sitting, "What?"
Joey plonked Katie on his lap, where Katie immediately snuggled back and gurgled happily.
"You're not a squirmer are you, my beautiful baby girl? No, you don't squirm!" Pacey smiled at Joey, who was laughing. She was ecstatic, she was so happy today. The only thing that could've gone wrong was if something had happened to Pacey. She was so glad that he was her husband, even if it had taken him ages to propose, and that he was the father of her child.
Pacey was thinking the same thing - he was so happy that she was his wife, and that she was the mother of his child.
