Wedding Day
"Wake up!" Dawson clapped his hands loudly. "Today's the day!" "Let's go Pace!" Pacey rolled over, yawned and rubbed his eyes. "I hardly slept last night, the nerves have set in." "Yeah, but are you ready for it?" Dawson asked. "I've been ready for this my whole life." All of the guys slept at Dawson's house and all of the girls stayed at the B&B.

"Joey," Bessie whispered, "time to wake up." "Come on, let's go, it's your wedding day." Joey yawned, got up and ran a hand through her hair. She walked into the kitchen and saw Alexander. "Hey, what are you still doing here?" "Shouldn't you be over Dawson's house by now?" She questioned.
"Yeah I know, Aunt Jo, I'm waiting for my mom to give me my suit, so we can go over there already!" Bessie then came down the stairs with his suit in a bag and shoes in a box. "Here, I'm gonna put the shoes in your bag and take this," Bessie handed him the suit, "now, do not, do not wrinkle this and be careful with it, let's go." "Bye Jo I'll be back in a minute."
Bessie pulled up to Dawson's house. "I'll be at home getting ready if you need to call me and remember, Pacey isn't allowed to call there and don't say anything to him about Aunt Jo's dress okay?" "Okay, Mom I'm going now." He said. "Tell Mrs. Leery and Lily to come out." Bessie said. "Bye."

"Hey Al, how you doing?" Pacey gave him a hug. "Here let me take this." He took Alex's suit and brought them upstairs. Alex walked into the kitchen where Dawson was making breakfast. "Hi, Alex, want some breakfast?" "Here sit down." He pulled out a chair and plopped scrambled eggs on his plate. Pacey came back downstairs and walked into the kitchen. "Mmm, smells good." "Jack and Doug are up now and should be down in a minute." "So, how is the lovely princess this morning?" Pacey asked. "Uh uh, I'm not allowed to say anything." Alex locked his mouth and threw away the key. "Hm, so I'm not gonna get anything out of you?" Pacey asked. Alex shook his head.

"Has anyone seen my purse?" Andie asked. The chaos had started, dresses were flying, the house was bustling and every bathroom was conveniently occupied.
Bessie and Joey were in Bessie's room; Bessie was doing Joey's hair. "Now, I'm gonna do this and twirl it up and curl it like this." Bessie said. "Oh, that looks good, do you like it Jo?" "Yeah that's really cool Bess." Joey said.
"Now," She went over to her dresser and grabbed a big white box. She opened the box and pulled out a veil and a tiara, "This was mom's and I kept it all these years for someone's wedding, whether it was going to be mine or yours so," She placed the tiara on her head and clipped the veil onto the back and let the veil hang down her back, "I wanted you to wear it." "Oh, Bess it's beautiful."
"Oh no, don't you cry, because then I'll cry and we'll will be a crying mess." Joey said. Bessie smiled and hugged Joey, careful not to mess up her hair. She wiped her eyes and grabbed a tissue. "Now, where's that dress?"

"Is that straight?" Pacey asked. "No, just do this." Doug adjusted his bowtie. "Thanks." "Now I need shoes." "Dawson, how do I tie this?" Alex asked. "Here come over here." Dawson sat on the bed and started to tie Alex's bowtie. "There we go." "Go run a comb through your hair and meet me downstairs." Dawson said.
"Hey, Doug, do I look good, am I alright." Pacey asked. "Yeah man, you look fine, hey, take a deep breath " "Oh, okay, I'm gonna go downstairs now." "Where's Jack?" "Jack you got that thing tied yet?" Doug asked.
Pacey walked downstairs and opened his bag and took out a wallet size picture of Jen. He had written down what he told her on the hospital bed. It read,
Pacey, I want the three of you to stay friends and never forget what you mean to each other and the impact that you have had on each other's lives, because friendship can never really be over or underestimated.
He would always remember when she told him that that day, he would always be thankful for what extraordinary friends he has and all of the good times they've shared. Pacey put the picture in his pocket and went to meet everyone in the kitchen.

"Oh, look at everyone!" "You all look so beautiful." Bessie said. "Okay, I present to you the future Josephine Witter!" "Come on out Jo!"
She walked out and the room went silent. Her dress was beautiful, white sequins and elegant flowers ran down the front. The veil sparkled. She smiled. "Hey!" "I said no crying!" "Joey you look so gorgeous!" Audrey shrieked. "Lovely, stunning, beautiful." The compliments echoed throughout the kitchen. "Let's go girls!" Bessie said. She smiled and held Joey's hand and led her out the door.
***
"Okay, I'd just like to say, today is my little brother's wedding day." "I never thought this day would come, but he proved me wrong." "He is marrying one of the most beautiful girls I happen to know." " I want to wish him good luck as he stands here in his last bachelor moments." Doug raised his glass. "To my little brother who isn't so little anymore!" "Here here!" They clanked their orange juice glasses together and Doug put his arm over Pacey's shoulder as they walked out the door to head to the church. "Thanks Doug."
