"God you guys I feel like I'm going to throw up"
"Stacy all you have to do is stand up there and say 'I do' and then you're done."
"No, Carly I really feel sick."
"You still have morning sickness?"
"Haven't gotten rid of it yet."
The bride's room was booming with baby Morgan in his little suit, being entertained by his big brother Michael, Carly wearing a beautiful red dress that showed her now figure back to it's original form. Helping Stacy try to fit into her wedding dress at 8 months pregnant, was more than just a task, it was a challenge. Carly had been more then happy when Stacy asked her to be her maid of honor along with Emily Cassadine and Gia Smith who were Stacy's brides maids. The wedding was in less than 15 minutes and the time was now taking its toll on Stacy who was pacing around the room like a caged lion.
"Stacy you have to sit down, you're making me sick just watching you go in a circle over and over again."
"Carly I'm so scared."
"Why?"
"What if he says no, what if he changed his mind? What if he doesn't show up? What if I go walking down that isle and I go into labor? Or he takes one look at me and realizes that he's making a mistake and runs out? What if I run out!?!"
"STACY! Is this what you want? Do you want to marry Jason?"
"Of course I do!"
"Then don't worry okay? You're stressing out way too much okay? That's not good for you're health or the baby's okay?"
"Where's my little girl?"
Everyone in the room, except for Stacy, turned to see a bright eyed Sonny walk in, looking nothing but handsome in his clean tux. Taking that as their cue, the others walked out of the bridal room leaving only Sonny and Stacy. Breathing in deep, she continued to pace around the room.
"Is everything okay sweetheart?"
"Daddy. . .what if Jason says no?"
"Then I'll kill him." Stacy didn't even see the seriousness in her fathers eyes, she had been threw so much hell that if Jason said no to her today or even left her at the altar Sonny wouldn't hesitate to make him pay.
"Where you scared when you married Carly?"
"Every time baby."
********
Jason stood patiently at the altar, the decorations that hung at the church made the huge room seem almost like they were outside, with fake trees and flowers all around, it was like being married in a whole different place. (A/N: If you've seen 'The Wedding Planner' think of the wedding in the beginning as the designs for this wedding). He was so nervous; his thoughts kept going back to either something being wrong with Stacy and their baby, or her running out on him, leaving him at the altar.
Slowly the chapel doors opened wide as the 'wedding march' began to play. His breath was taken away staring down at his beautiful bride, her pregnancy was showing fully now, with only a month left to go, he still couldn't believe there was a life growing inside of her, something they had created.
*You're there by my side
In every way
I know that you would not forsake me
I give you my life
Would not think twice
Your love is all I need believe me*
Slowly tears began to flow down his face, it was the first time anyone had seen Jason Morgan cry, but they were tears of joy and happiness. Slowly Stacy along with Sonny made their way up to Father Coates. Pulling her vale up Sonny kissed his daughter on both of her cheeks, this being the last time she would be his baby girl, now he was giving her away to his best friend and now son-in-law.
"Who gives this woman away?"
*I may not say it quite as much as I should
When I say I love you darling that means for good
So open up your heart and let me in
And I will love you 'til forever
Until death do us part we'll be together
So take my hand and hold on tight
And we'll get there
This I swear*
"I do." Sonny spoke softly, still trying to take in everything that had happened so quickly in his life. Walking over and taking his seat next to his wife and two sons he couldn't help but smile knowing that he had the family he had always wanted. Granted one was an adopted son, the other by blood, and his oldest child was one he had only really known for not even a year, it was still his family, and he wouldn't trade a minute of it.
*I'm wondering how I ever got by
Without you in my life to guide me
Where ever I go the one thing that's true
Is everything I do I do for you*
"We are gathered here in the sight of God to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony. The love of God is an example for your devotion, and you are not left without guidance concerning the meaning of that love because God is love and love is all. A wedding ceremony is the perfect place to read from Corinthians. This is what God said love is: Love is patient and kind, knows no jealousy, and gives itself no false airs or false pride. Never irritated, never resentful, love is neither glad when others go wrong or become hurt. Love is guided by goodness, always eager to believe the best, always hopeful."
"Remember, anything beautiful that you have, came from God. In the beginning, God gave us our free will and our identity to walk this earth. Don't ever try to change each other, because if you do, you will lose exactly what you fell in love with. So, each day try to find one more thing that is beautiful in your mate and each day know that the next day will be more beautiful than the one before. As long as you are doing this, you are seeking beauty, joy, and love in each other."
"Marriage is not only a commitment between lovers, it is also an agreement between two friends. Allow each other time to be an individual, respect each other's wishes as well as their dreams. I understand that both Jason and Stacy would like to say their own vows, Stacy?"
*I may not say it quite as much as I should
When I say I love you darling that means for good
So open up your heart and let me in
And I will love you 'til forever
Until death do us part we'll be together
So take my hand and hold on tight
And we'll get there
This I swear*
Turning back towards Emily she handed her, her bouquet of flowers and turned back towards Jason taking his hands in hers looking into his eyes.
"Looking back on my life, I wonder if things could have been different, there were so many things that changed us, so many things that tested our love, and we've shown that our love can withstand any obstacle life throws at us. . .I never thought I would be up here, in front of our friends and family pledging my life to you. I never thought I'd have a family, of all the things in my life; you are the one that I wouldn't change a single thing. I always wanted that knight in shinning armor to come ridding in on a white horse to save me, but I'm happy with my knight on a Harley. You've saved me more times than I can count; you protect me and everything that I love. We are meant to be, you and me and our family. You are my heart, my soul, my best friend, the love of my life, so from this day on. . .I promise to love you, cherish you, to always believe in you, and to never leave you, so help me god."
Father Coates smiled at the love and dedication that this woman obviously had shown for Jason, turning towards Jason he smiled, knowing that he would honor his vows to this woman until the day he died. "Jason."
Clearing his throat, he sighed and looked into Stacy's deep brown eyes, seeing nothing but their future together.
*So whenever you get there
Just reach out for me
I'll never let you down my love*
"I never believed I would be up here again, after Courtney died, I never thought I would experience any kind of happiness, until you came into my life. The moment I was around you, I felt something I had never felt before, when you were lying in that hospital bed, I thought I was going to lose you and in that instant I knew what it was that separated what I felt for Courtney and what I feel for you. YOU Stacy Corinthos ARE my soul mate, I can't see myself without you in my life, without you I'm not complete. Losing you would be like losing a part of my body. People search forever for the kind of love that we've been blessed to find and I don't ever want to lose you. I thank God every day for bringing you into my life and will until the day I die. I will do nothing but make you happy, no matter what it takes, I love you Stacy Corinthos, from now until the end of time."
"Beautiful, now Jason, do you take Stacy as your lawfully wedded wife, will you be faithful to her in tender love and honor, offering encouragement and companionship and will you live with her and cherish her as love and respect will lead you in the bond of marriage?"
"I will."
"Stacy, do you take Jason as your lawfully wedded husband, will you be faithful to him in tender love and honor, offering encouragement and companionship and will you live with him and cherish him as love and respect will lead you in the bond of marriage?"
"I will"
"Jason repeat after me, I, Jason Morgan. . ."
"I, Jason Morgan. . ."
"Take thee, Stacy Corinthos to be my wedded wife. . ."
"Take thee, Stacy Corinthos to be my wedded wife. . ."
"To have and to hold, from this day forward. . ."
"To have and to hold, from this day forward. . ."
"For better, for worst, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health. . ."
"For better, for worst, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health. . ."
"To love and to cherish, till death do us part, and thereto I pledge thee my faith."
"To love and to cherish, till death do us part, and thereto I pledge thee my faith."
"Now Stacy. . ."
"I know what to say. . .I, Stacy Corinthos, take thee, Jason Morgan to be my wedded husband to have and to hold, from this day forward. For better, for worst, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part, and there to I pledge thee my faith."
*And I will love you 'til forever
Until death do us part we'll be together
So take my hand and hold on tight
And we'll get there
This I swear*
"The rings?"
Turning back Jason took both sets of rings from Nikolas who had taken Sonny's place. Placing both rings on Father Coates' bible he continued.
"The wedding ring is the outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual bond which unites two loyal hearts in endless love. This ring by its shape is a symbol of the undying love that exists between you. The substance of which it is composed is a symbol of purity, which shall ever characterize your mind and hearts in all your relationships together."
Handing Jason Stacy's ring, and Stacy Jason's ring he nodded towards Jason who spoke first, taking Stacy's hand in his.
"With this ring I thee wed all my love and faith fullness forever more."
Slipping the wedding ring onto Stacy's hand he couldn't help but smile knowing that that's where the ring was meant to be. Breathing out a deep breath Stacy took Jason's hand in hers and smiled at him.
"With this ring, I thee wed all my love and faith fullness forever more."
Trying to hold back her tears as she gently placed the wedding band onto Jason's hand, the reality began to sink in that this was all really happening and neither person was running away.
"Father, we thank you for this beautiful day and thank you for Jason Morgan and Stacy Corinthos. We thank you Lord you have brought them safely thus far on their journey. We pray that as you joined their hand and hearts together to become husband and wife that you will bless them. Pray that you will give them strength and courage as they face all the tasks and decisions that lie before them. We also pray Lord that you bless these rings that he and she wear and may they ever bide in your peace living together in unity, love, and happiness with good purpose to do your will. This we pray in your name. Amen."
"These two lives are now joined in one unbroken circle. Wherever they go, may they always return to one another in their togetherness. May these two find in each other, the love for which all men and women long. May they grow in understanding and in compassion. May the home that they establish be such a place of sanctuary that man will find there a friend. And may these two rings symbolize the spirit of undying love in the hearts of both of them. By the powers vested in me by the great state of New York, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride."
Not needing to be told twice Jason gently lifted up his now wife's vale to see her crying. Gently wiping the tears away he leaned in kissing her gently, but quickly their kiss intensified into a heated passionate kiss. Slowly pulling away, the once silent crowd now cheered.
*And I will love you 'til forever
Until death do us part we'll be together
So take my hand and hold on tight
And we'll get there
This I swear*
"Ladies and Gentleman may I be the first to introduce you to Mr. And Mrs. Jason Morgan"
*******
Their reception had gone way into the night, both Sonny and Jason making sure that security was tight; pretty soon, it would be obvious that it wasn't tight enough.
On the dance floor, Stacy was slow dancing with Tyler still dressed in her white wedding dress, Jason was off to the side of the dance hall talking with Sonny about how long they would be gone for their honeymoon when the sudden sound of gunfire turned both men's blood cold. While crowds of family and friends quickly ran out of the room, panic was quickly setting with Jason as he franticly searched for his wife.
"STACY!!!"
A soft moan made him run to the dance floor, lying on top of Stacy was a bloody Tyler, with two bullet holes into his back and blood pouring down his back. Her eyes were filled with tears, but barely any words were coming out of her mouth, quickly Jason pulled Tyler off of Stacy, her white dress now covered in blood.
Franticly Jason searched for any signs of a bullet wound, successfully finding none, he looked over at Tyler. Placing two fingers onto his neck, never feeling a pulse, he turned his attention back to Stacy who looked to be in a state of shock, he reached down to pick her up when a envelope caught his eye, 'Mr. Morgan' written on the front, made it obvious that it was for him. Placing the envelope in his coat pocket he gently picked up Stacy hurrying her out of the dance hall, leaving a bloody and dead Tyler on the dance floor.
Slowly from the shadows, the gunman appeared, fixing his tie he walked over to his victim. Tyler's eyes still open, he bent down and looked at his dead son, slowly he closed Tyler's eyes and walked out of the room, no one ever suspecting that Brian Laramee was the killer.
