Epilogue

Four Years Later:

Pools of tears began to fill Monica's eyes as she looked at herself in the mirror.  Ask her nine years ago if she ever thought that this day would be here, the answer would have been a firm "no."  But it finally was!  There she was in her late thirties standing in front of a floor length mirror in a crisp white wedding dress.  For the most part of her life, all that she had wanted to do was to get married.  Before all of this happened, she would have never waited four years for a guy to propose to her, but this was not just any guy.  It was Chandler Bing.  Her soul mate; the man that she would have waited an eternity for.

"You look so beautiful." Rachel let out as her eyes ran up and down Monica's wedding dress. 

"I know!" Monica screeched, her eyes glistening with anticipation of the day ahead of her.  Then, Monica delicately touched the intricate beading on her dress, as memories of the past years flooded her.  That night, where on whim she flew out to see Chandler, never fully expecting that as a result of it she would be standing here today.  Memories of the day where both she and Chandler almost had a heart attack because Sadie fell off of the swing and broke her wrist.  Rachel was right to be afraid of swings; they are dangerous.  But even though that day was terrible, it brought them closer together as a couple.  A smile plastered across Monica's face when she remembered Chandler's proposal.  It was so beautiful, almost like a fairytale.  He brought her to Disney Land at night and proposed to her in Cinderella's Castle.

"Are you thinking about Chandler?" Rachel asked when she observed the smile planted on Monica's face.  Monica nodded, her smile never leaving her glowing face.  "I can't believe that I am maid of honor and yours and Chandler's wedding!  I never thought that this day was going to come." Rachel stated amazed.

"I did." Phoebe responded from the corner of the hotel room.  Both Monica and Rachel's heads darted towards her, their facial expressions asking, "how?"  Phoebe chuckled, "She is his lobster."

Rachel laughed, leave it to Phoebe to say something like that.  Monica's shoes clunked as she walked over to Rachel and Phoebe.  "I can't believe that all six of us are going to be together again." Monica tried her hardest not to let her tears roll down her cheek.

"Well, I can't believe that you left New York!  I'm jealous Mon, you get to live in sunny California." Rachel joked, trying to ease the nerves that were filling the room.

Monica chuckled slightly and looked at the clock.  In less than hour she was going to be Mrs. Chandler Bing. 

……………………

Today was the big day.  Chandler sat on the edge of his bed, holding a small picture in his hand.  His room was silent, but underneath him was bustling with activity.  Someone tapped lightly on his bedroom door.  Sadie peeked into the room.

"You ok daddy?" She asked, inviting herself into his room.  The door closed quietly behind her and she sat next to her father.  Her eyes set onto the six-year-old picture that her father was holding in his shaking hand.  Sadie tried her best to remember that day, but it was too long ago.  She barely had any recollection of her mother; the only mother figure that she really ever knew was Monica.   "Mommy is looking down on you smiling, daddy.  She's happy for you."  Sadie stated as she laid her head down on her father's shoulder.

Chandler smiled at his daughter and gently ruffled her hair, "I know."  Then Chandler took the picture and placed it into his nightstand drawer.  His life with Adriana was in the past and his new life with Monica was beginning today.  It still shocked him that he was going to marry Monica.  The past four years had been a whirlwind filled with hope, love, and forgiveness.  That night that Monica showed up on his doorstep changed his life.  He finally allowed his broken heart to mend.

"Sorry to break the moment, but we need to be at the hotel in like twenty minutes." Ross stated after knocking on the bedroom door.  Sadie jumped off Chandler's bed and bolted into her room.  Chandler laughed and looked at himself in the mirror.  His hair was spiked and his three-piece suit was just the way Monica liked it.

"I never got to thank you for making me take that trip to New York." Chandler smiled.  Ross reached over to give Chandler a handshake, but instead he brought him into a hug.

"No problem man." Ross sincerely replied. 

Chandler took one last look at his bedroom before closing the door behind him.  Followed by Ross, he walked over to Sadie's bedroom.  "Sweetie, are you ready?  You know Monica will have my head if we're…" Before Chandler could finish Sadie popped out of her room.  Chandler's eyes became misty when he looked at his little girl.  Her dark brown hair made the white flower girl's dress shine.  She no longer looked like his baby; she was growing up.

"Daddy, don't cry." Sadie smiled.

"I'm not.  I just got something in my eye." Chandler responded.  Ross looked over at him and shook his head.  It still amazed him how Chandler interacted with his daughter. When they walked over to the head of the stairs, Joey was at the bottom video taping the whole event.  It was amazing how well everyone finally got along.  Today was the first day in years that all six friends would be reunited.  It was still a shock that this was finally here.

……………………

Chandler shakily stood at the alter.  His heart was beating so fast and his palms were sweaty.  He had done this before, why was he so nervous?  As he looked out into the pews, his family and friends sat before him.  His father was even there, per Monica's wish, sitting next to his mother.  This day was a more than a decade in the making. 

The wedding procession began to start, and Chandler was jerked out of his thoughts.  Ross and Rachel were the first ones to walk down the isle, followed by a smiling Phoebe and Joey.  Sadie followed, throwing delicate red and white rose pedals across the isle.  It seemed like forever, but then everyone in the church stood up.  A lump formed in Chandler's throat and tears were in his eyes as his beautiful bride began to walk down the isle. 

"You look beautiful." Chandler whispered into Monica's ear after her father had given her away.  She smiled, revealing her pearly white teeth.  They both stood in front of their proud family and friends as the ceremony began.

When the time came for the vows, both Chandler and Monica were already crying. 

"Chandler…" Monica began stopping to take a deep breath, "nine years ago I never would have imagined that I would be standing here today.  I have wondered for so long if I would ever find my prince, my soul mate, and then I found so much more, I… I found you.  You are so much more than I could have ever asked for.  We have been through so much and I can't imagine anyone else who I'd want to spend the rest of my life with."

Chandler looked deep into Monica's eyes.  He reached out and wiped away her tears before he said the vows that he wrote.  "Monica, I can't begin to put into words how much you mean to me.  We have been through so much together and never once did I stop loving you." Chandler's voice cracked, but he continued, "You're a fighter and your amazing spirit is what drew me back to you.  Whatever comes our way, I know that we'll be ok, because I love you.  Our love is what brought us back together.  You are the person who I was meant to spend the rest of my life with."  When Chandler finished, everyone in the church was bawling. 

"By the powers vested in me by the state of California, I pronounce you husband and wife.  I present to you, Mr. and Mrs. Chandler Bing." The priest stated at the close of the ceremony. 

Monica looked and Chandler and smiled.  The biggest mistake of her life was finally made right.  Finally she was Monica Bing.  "I can't wait to begin the journey of life together." Chandler whispered in Monica's ear when they were safely in the limo.

"We started that journey years ago." Monica smiled, her blue eyes glowing.  Chandler leaned in to kiss his happy bride.  His life was finally complete.
