Ethan and Theresa are sitting on the couch discussing wedding plans.
"So, We will have Whitney as my maid of honor, Chad is your best man, Maria will be the flower girl, our son as the ring bear, and I still have to ask Luis and Sam about walking me down the isle. We also need to decide on when we want to get married Ethan." Theresa said as she was writing in the new planner she had gotten just for the wedding.
"I had an idea on that. How about the most romantic day of the year?"
"You mean Valentine's day. I love it, though I am not sure that is enough time. There is so much to do still and that only gives us 5 months. Though this does gives us our color theme, we can make the colors red and pink. In fact, why don't we go over to Luis's and Sam's so that I can ask them to walk me down the isle?"
"Okay. And don't worry, I am sure Whitney, Sheridan, and you mother will help and we can have it all planned by then."

"Sam, I have a big favor to ask you and I will understand if you say no. I was wondering if you would walk me down the isle with Luis."
"Of course I will Theresa. It would be an honor."
"Oh thank you Sam!" Theresa exclaimed as she threw her arms around her future father -in- law.

"Luis. You have always been there for me, especially since Papa disappeared. And I was wondering if you would do me the honor of walking me down the isle along with Chief Bennett."
"Theresa, you know I will. I just wish that Papa could be the one giving you way."
"I know Luis. So do I." Theresa said wishing for the millionth time that there father was still around.

Later that day Ethan and Theresa are going over the guest list.
"I don't want my mother there. She has never supported our relationship and has done everything she can to try to stop us from being together."
That is your decision Ethan. I do want Rebecca there though."
"Why Sweetheart? She is as bad, if not worse than my mother."
"I know. But I have a plan for her. She has wrought havoc in our lives for the last time." She goes on to explain what her plan is.

"Oh you guys thank you for coming with me to find my wedding dress. I want to be perfect." Theresa said looking at the women that had come to help her.
"Don't worry Theresa, I am sure we will find the perfect dress." Whitney said to her best friend. "I am so happy for you. You deserve this happiness."
"I agree. And I am sure you will make the most gorgeous bride."
"Luis wouldn't agree with that Sheridan, and we all know it." Theresa said.
"Oh Mejia, I am so happy for you. I just wish your Papa could be here."
"So do I Mamma."
"Hey as maid of honor I say that there is no depressing talk while looking for the most gorgeous wedding gown for the best friend a girl could have. Now let's get moving. We don't have all the time in the world here girls." Whitney said with a smile on her face as they walked into a little dress shop.

"I just don't know you guys. They are all so beautiful." Theresa said looking at all the dresses that were in front of her. "Why don't we work on finding dresses for Whitney and Maria?"
"We should find your dress first. You are the most important person to dress since it is your day." Whitney said.
"Yeah, but I need more time to think about what I want in more detail. And this way we can take care of other things that need to get done before my big day. Oh my god I am actually going to marry the man that I have loved my entire life. My dream is finally coming true."
"I know Theresa. Isn't it wonderful? Maybe true love does conquer all." Whitney said thinking about Chad.

"How about this one Whitney? It simple yet elegant." Theresa said as she held out a soft pink strapless dress that was ankle length. It had multi colored embroidery across the top.
"That is beautiful. And it goes with the color theme." Whitney said with a smile.
"Well go try it on while we look for a dress for Maria." Theresa said as she handed the gown to her maid of honor.

"What do you think of this one for Maria, Mejia?" Pilar asked holding up a little satin pink dress that was trimmed in red lace.
"Oh that is perfect! What size does she wear Kay?"
"It honestly depends on what it is. Why don't I have Miguel bring her here so she can try it on?"
"Sure. I can also get his input on my dress."

"It looks even more perfect on her. Don't you think so Miguel?" Kay asked.
"She does look like an angel. I still can't believe that she is already 3." Miguel said looking at his daughter.

"Oh my God Theresa! That dress is perfect. Ethan will either just die or just opt to forgo the wedding and go straight to the honeymoon when he sees you in that dress." Miguel said as Theresa walked out of the dressing room in an ivory halter top style dress with an A-line skirt that was cathedral length train. There was also beaded embroidery along the train.
"He better not die. I want to live a long and happy life with him." Theresa said looking at Miguel. "So you all agree this is the dress?"
"Definitely! Yes!" were the responses she heard from the group around her.

"What do you think Chad? I mean red is one of the colors." Ethan said as he looked at his refection. He was wearing a black tuxedo with a red satin vest and tie. The jacket was about mid-thigh length and fit him to perfection.
"I think it looks great man. I think that is the one."
