Wedding Day
"Is she here yet?" Pacey asked. "Dawson looked out the window and smiled, "She's getting out of the limo now." "Oh, h-how does she look?" Pacey asked. "Wow, there she is." Dawson said. "I-Is that 'wow' like a good thing or." "I don't think I'm supposed to tell you." Pacey made a face at Alex. "So nobody's telling me anything huh?" Alex chuckled and ran to look out the window.

"Okay, careful, don't step on the back of it." Bessie was helping Joey out of the limo and started walking into the church. "Oh, look at the sun, what a gorgeous day for a wedding." They walked in a room at the back of the church. "Okay, come on in, everyone." Bessie said as Andie, Audrey, Lily and Gretchen filed in the room. "Let me just fix this." Bessie was touching up on Joey's hair. "You look so beautiful Jo." She gave Joey a hug.
"Have the nerves set in yet?" Audrey asked. "A little, I'm starting to get a little nervous." Joey said. "Well those aren't bad nerves, you're just anxious." Audrey said. Joey took a deep breath. "Hey Bess, where's dad?"
*** There was a knock on the door and Jack opened it. "Hello gentlemen." "Where is our groom?" Pacey walked over to him. "Hello Mr. Potter." "Hey Pacey how you doing?" "Are you ready yet, we got just over ten minutes now." "Oh yes, I've been ready for this ever since I laid eyes on your lovely daughter." Pacey said.
He brought them over to the corner and put an arm around Pacey. "Pacey, I want you to know that uh, I know you are perfect for Joey." "I have never seen her more happy than when she is around you." "I want you to know that." 'I also want you to know that I believe in you Pacey." "I know that you will bring her joy and happiness for the rest of your lives and that you will always make her happy." He patted Pacey on the back. "Thanks Mr. Potter, that means a lot." He smiled.
"Now, you smell good, you look good, and life is good today." "I'll see you out there." Before He walked out he turned and smiled at Pacey.

Pacey stood on the altar watching his friends walk up the aisle. Lily was the flower girl and was wearing a cute pink and purple dress and Alex was the ring bearer. Audrey walked down with Jack, Doug with Andie, and Dawson, Pacey's best man, with Joey's maid of honor, Bessie. There was a pause in between that seemed to last forever, a long moment that Pacey both dreaded and hoped for.
The moment that the girl he grew up with, the girl who sailed away on a sailboat with him for the summer, and the girl who was stuck in a K-mart overnight with him, was going to walk up to him wearing one of the most beautiful dresses a woman will ever wear in her lifetime.
He pulled out the picture of Jen, and looked up, already knowing that she was looking down at him and smiling.
The wedding march began and the great white doors opened at the end of the aisle. There she was, like a dream she started to walk toward him. Her slender arm was weaved through her father's and she had a smile on her face and tears glistening in her eyes. His heart beat rapidly and his hands gently started to shake. He smiled back at her and wiped a single teardrop from his eye. Dawson nudged his arm with his shoulder. Pacey never flinched. Time stopped at that moment, it was only the two of them, looking into each other's eyes and knowing that this was the happiest moment in their lives.
She finally reached him and he took her hand in his and stepped up to the priest. "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in holy matrimony for the wedding of Pacey James Witter and Josephine Lynn Potter."

"Turn and face each other, and Pacey repeat after me." "I, Pacey take you Joey, to be my wife,"
"I, Pacey take you Joey, to be my wife," "To be my partner in life, and my one true love,"
"To be my partner in life, and my one true love," "I will cherish our friendship," "I will cherish our friendship," "And love you today, tomorrow, and forever," "and love you today, tomorrow and forever," "I will love you faithfully, through the best and worst, "through the difficult and easy." "What may come I will always be there." "As I have given you my hand to hold, so I give you my life to keep, "so help me God."
"I Joey, take you Pacey, to be my husband, my partner in life and my one true love."
"I will cherish our friendship and love you today,
tomorrow, and forever."
"I will trust you and honor you
I will laugh with you and cry with you."
"I will love you faithfully,
Through the best and the worst,
Through the difficult and the easy."
"What may come I will always be there."
"As I have given you my hand to hold,
So I give you my life to keep,
So help me God."

"The wedding ring is the outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual bond which unites two loyal hearts in endless love. It is a seal of the vows Pacey And Joey have made to one another. Bless O God these rings, that Joey and Pacey, who give them, and who wear them, may ever abide in thy peace. Living together in unity, love and happiness for the rest of their lives."
"Joey, I give you this ring as a symbol of our vows, and with all that I am, and all that I have, I honor you. With this ring, I thee wed." Pacey carefully slid the ring onto Joey's finger.
"Pacey, I give you this ring as a symbol of our vows, and with all that I am, and all that I have, I honor you. With this ring, I thee wed." Joey slid the ring onto Pacey's finger. "In as much as you have each pledged to the other your lifelong commitment, love and devotion, I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss you bride!" Pacey chuckled and kissed Joey, beginning the start of their lives together. They Held hands and walked down the aisle, smiling at everyone the saw. When they got out side, everyone started throwing rice and them and their limo was covered in toilet paper and shaving cream. 'Just married was written in shaving cream on the back window and there were cans tied to the bumper. They both started laughing as people driving by honked their horns. Pacey helped Joey into the car and they set off for the reception, the cans clanging loudly behind them.
