Wedding Day Pt. 1-

The Study

Nathan was sitting in the church study. He was nervous and relieved. He was nervous about getting married, but relieved that Audrey had forgiven him and agreed to marry him. He smiled when Lucas came over and fixed his tie.

"Nathan....calm down it's only the most important day of your life." Lucas joked.

"You're right. It is the most important day of my life. I'm going to be married. There is no way that I can mess this up."

Lucas patted him on the back and walked out of the study. Nathan was alone and looking at himself in the mirror when Haley walked in. He saw her reflection and turned to face her.

"You look great. You clean up pretty nice Mr. Scott." she said.

"Thanks. Not to be rude, but shouldn't you be in the bridal chambers?" he asked.

Haley frowned. "No...um...I'm not going to be her maid. I think it presents a conflict of interest. I'm just going to sit in with the rest of the guests."

Nathan nodded. "You're probably right. Audrey was really hurt by what I did."

Haley sighed and then decided to try and lighten the moment. "Hey...do you know that you have these famous celebrities here. I ran into Rebecca Romjin-Stamos and Tyra Banks."

Nathan laughed. "What can I say? Audrey knows a lot of supermodels. (looking at his watch) I better get out there."

"Yeah...good luck and congratulations."

Haley turned and walked out. A few minutes out Nathan walked out and met up with the rest of the groomsmen. They made their way to the altar and waited for the bride.

Bridal Chambers

Audrey had been quiet all morning. She barely slept and she refused to eat anything, but she did chug a large quantity of alcohol at Brooke's. She was grateful that Haley hadn't showed up because then everyone would have known about everything. Audrey sat in the corner of the room. Not a tear was falling from her eyes. She wasn't that happy. She watched as Brooke and the rest of the bridesmaids finished getting dressed. Once they were done Brooke shooed them out of the room so that she could help Audrey get dressed. Audrey and Brooke didn't say anything as Brooke helped Audrey get into her dress. Once the veil was on Brooke stepped out of the room so that Audrey could have a moment alone. She stood in the chambers and looked at herself in the mirror.

The dress was fit for a queen. It was a white taffeta gown with a full A-line skirt, cap sleeves. Rhinestones, Austrian crystals, and freshwater pearls were all over the bodice and sleeves of the dress. Audrey wore her hair up in a semi-messy French roll with hair crystals sprinkled all around. Her cathedral length veil was attached to a 20 carat diamond tiara, while her neck was adorned by Harry Winston's Wreath necklace. She looked absolutely stunning, but that wasn't how she felt. She cried as she looked herself over in the mirror.

Brooke peeked her head back into the room and saw Audrey crying.

"Hey it's okay. Nathan is a pretty good looking guy."
Audrey quickly wiped her eyes. "Is it time?"

Brooke was thrown by the quick change. She nodded and grabbed the train while Audrey grabbed her bouquet and walked out to the sanctuary.

The Chapel

Nathan and his groomsmen took their places as the orchestra struck up the song that the bridesmaids walked in to. Brooke straightened Audrey's veil and then made her way into the chapel. Audrey closed her eyes and when the orchestra played the 'Wedding March' she made her way from the back of the church to the altar. She watched Nathan who's eyes were filling with tears then her eye caught glimpse of Haley sitting in the front with Deb, Karen, Keith, and Dan. She quickly turned her attention back to the front of the church where Nathan was waiting for her.

The priest wasted no time starting the ceremony. The choir sang "Take My Breath Away" because it was Nathan and Audrey's song. Jenny, who was also the flower girl, recited a poem about love and marriage. Then it was time for the vows. Nathan said his first. They were the same ones from the rehearsal. Audrey watched and listened intently as he spoke. She didn't hear any of the words, all she heard was Nathan confess that he was cheating on her with Haley.

"They say that everyone has someone that is perfect for them. For me that person is you. I know that you would not forsake me. There's no one in this world that can ever take your place. I never dreamed that love could be this way until the day that I found you. I have been so lucky to spend the last two years of my life with such a wonderful woman. I can't explain or thank you enough for saving me from myself. I vow to spend the rest of my life making you feel as happy, proud, loved, cherished, and honored as you have made me. I vow to spend my life showing you all the ways that I love you. In good and bad, sickness and health I swear that we weather any storm life may throw our way. These are my vows to you."

The priest turned to Audrey and she started to say her vows, but she couldn't. "Since I've met you....I..." She looked at Haley, who was sitting in the pew, and then back to Nathan. The events of the previous night were raging in her mind and her blood was boiling. She couldn't do it.
