Chapter Six

It had been a week since Jack asked Rose to marry him. They were now at the church. In five minutes they would become Mr. and Mrs. Jack Dawson. Rose was in the dressing room with Monica.

"Oh, Rose. You look beautiful!" Monica said, as she studied Rose again.

Rose had on a beautiful white gown with a long veil and flowers around her head. It wasn't as glamorous as the one she was going to wear when she married Cal, but she liked this one much more. Her mother picked out her other one. She picked this one out herself, and she loved it.

"Are you ready to become a married women?" Monica asked.

"Yes. As long as it's Jack," Rose replied with a smile.

It was now time for the ceremony to begin. The music started and Rose took a deep breath and tried to ignore how nervous she was.

Fred was Jack's best man and Monica was Rose's matron of honor. When Rose asked Monica to be her matron of honor, Monica was extremely happy.

Rose walked down the aisle. She looked at Jack, and he was smiling. He was smiling exactly like he did when they were on Titanic and she told him that she changed her mind. Rose smiled back at him.

When Rose reached him she joined arms with him. The priest started talking. "Dearly beloved, we are here today to join two very special people," he said.

Rose's mind was elsewhere. She was thinking about the time when she and Jack almost died out in the Atlantic Ocean. She thought about how much he meant to her, and that she could never live without him.

Then she noticed Jack saying, "I do."

Then Jack's mind drifted off. He thought about the deck conversation they had on Titanic. He thought about when she went through a sinking ship just to be with him. He thought about how he wanted to have lots of children with her. Then he heard her say, "I do."

"I now pronounce you husband and wife." Before the priest could finish, Jack took Rose into his arms and kissed her passionately. "You may keep kissing the bride," the priest finished with a laugh.

When they walked down the aisle Monica and Fred clapped and watched.

"Thank you, Rose," Jack said as they got into the carriage that was going to take them to the train station.

"Thank you," Rose replied as she kissed Jack. "So, where are we going for our honeymoon, Jack?" Rose asked.

"I told you, it's a surprise," Jack said with a grin on his face.

"Please tell me, Jack! Please!"

"Nope."

"Jack Dawson, you leave me no choice," Rose said, as she started to tickle him all over. Jack started cracking up with laughter.

"Okay, okay." Jack gave up. "It's a little place I like to call Santa Monica."
