It was ten minutes after the wedding was supposed to start. All the Degrassi people were getting restless. Joey was on his cell phone calling Craig like there was no tomorrow. "Where is he?" Joey asked in frustration.
"No one misses their wedding day," Caitlin said. "He'll be here."
"Why does this always happen?" Joey asked recalling Spike and Snake's wedding fiasco. Caitlin shrugged and shook her head.
"It always works out though," she answered calmly.
"I'm sorry we're late!" Craig screamed running down the aisle in jeans, holding hands with his bride. He stood at the altar and caught his breath. "Thanks for coming everyone." Everyone looked up in shock.
"Craig where were you?" Joey hissed. Craig ignored him. "What is going on?"
"I have an announcement guys. Um.......Manny and I are getting married," Craig announced to the church. He smiled at Manny after saying that out loud. She squeezed his hand. There were gasps from the bride's side and cheers from the groom's side. "You all are welcome to the reception right now at Duke's. Free food!" There were more cheers. "I'm sorry for any confusion," Craig said to the bride's side that was already trickling out the doors shaking their heads. Lina thought she had called all of her guests but obviously some people didn't get the message.
"I thought you said you and Manny were getting married," Joey questioned staring at Craig and Manny's casual attire.
"We are," Craig said to Joey. He turned to the church again and said, "Manny and I are getting married after I graduate. We're in love. We're always going to be in love so we're not rushing into this." Joey gave Craig a hug then turned to Manny.
"I always knew it would be you. Manny we all miss you," Joey said giving her a hug so warm Manny nearly cried.
"Welcome to the family," Caitlin said giving her a hug as well.
"Manny! You're gonna be my sister! Are you going to skate with me later?" Angie asked.
"Anytime you want," Manny said smiling and giving her a huge hug. Paige started to cry. It was a heartwarming day.
"Paige?" Spinner asked.
"Yeah Hun," Paige said wiping her tears. "Isn't this so sweet?"
"I love you. Paige, you know that right?" Spinner asked nervously.
"I love you too Spinner," Paige said giving him a weird look.
"We've been together for like forever. I um.....Paige, will you marry me?" he asked getting down on one knee and holding out a gold ring.
"Oh my God!" she squealed taking the ring out of the box.
"Well, we wouldn't get married just yet. But after I save up enough money......after I get a good job......after..."
"Oh Honey, of course I'll marry you!" she said wrapping her arms around him. "Spin, how did you afford this?"
"I um.......it's not completely paid for yet......but it will be in a couple of years," he said laughing. She smiled. Manny and Craig smiled at each other.
"I love it!" she said hugging him again.
"Congratulations," Dylan said hugging his little sister.
"Wow Spin," Marco said shaking his hand. "Congratulations man!"
"Thanks," Spinner said.
"That ring is to die for," Liberty said grabbing Paige's hand. She gave JT a look which made him gulp nervously.

Emma walked up to Manny and Craig. "I am so happy for you," she said giving her best friend a hug.
"Thanks Emma, but what's wrong?" Manny asked noticing her tearstained cheeks.
"Matt turned out to be a real jerk," she said fighting back more tears.
"I'm sorry Em," Manny said hugging her friend.
"Don't worry about it. It's not your fault. Be happy! All your dreams are coming true," Emma said. "You guys are making me believe in love again."
"Um, Emma," Sean said tapping her on the shoulder. She turned around and smiled. "Would you..........like to be.......my date at the reception?" he asked nervously. Emma's smile faded into a frown.
"No," she answered.
"Oh, okay.......it's cool," he said starting to walk away. "Um....sorry I asked."
"I wouldn't like to Sean. I'd love to," she said. He turned around laughing.
"That was so wrong Emma," he said as she gave him a hug.
"Thanks for being there for me today," she said.
"What happened?" Manny asked confused that Matt was out of the picture and Sean was in the picture.
"I'll tell you later," Emma said. Jimmy walked up to Sean.
"Thanks for having my back," Sean said giving Jimmy five.
"No problem man. That guy was a loser," he said. Sean gave him a pat on the back as Jimmy walked up to Manny and Craig to congratulate them. Everyone came up to the altar.
"You're looking good sweetie," Paige said giving Manny a hug.
"You too.....congrats on you and Spinner," Manny said shaking her head at all the day's events. Paige smiled and hugged Craig.
"Hey Manny!" JT and Liberty exclaimed in unison.
"Oh my gosh!" Manny said. "I miss you guys!" They did a big group hug.
"We miss you too," Liberty said. "If it weren't for you we wouldn't be together." Manny laughed and they gave Craig a hug too.
"What are we standing around here for guys?" Craig asked everyone. "Free food awaits!" Everyone cheered again.
