Chapter 16
Everyone was quiet, the light was shining on John and Kate. John was down on one knee, a ring in one hand and a mic in the other. "Katherine Roberts..I love you with all of my heart, your the mother of my unborn child...so...will be marry me and make me the happiest man on the planet?"
Kate sat there with tears flowing down her face, "John I love you too" she finally said. "Yes..Yes I'll marry you." Placing the ring on her finger, John rose from his knee and kissed Kate. Cheering arose throughout the room, as everyone walked up to the happy couple to congratulate them.
"John, I'm so happy for the two of you", Marlena said as she pulled John into a hug as Roman did the same to Kate.
The rest of the night was filled with joy and happiness.
The next morning Kate was up early planning the wedding. "Kate, what are you doing up so early?" asked John as he came out of the bedroom. "I wanted to get a head start on the wedding plans. But first my handsome fiancé, we have to set a date." Kate said smiling up at John. Shaking his head, John grinned. "Can I get a cup of coffee before we start anything, because it's just to early", said John as he headed into the kitchen and poured himself and Kate a cup of coffee. Taking a seat beside Kate, John handed her the coffee, "Well I think that we should probably have the wedding before the baby is born, and considering it's due in November, I think we should have it around than. How about......November 20?", said John as he placed his hand on Kate's stomach. Smiling Kate placed her hand on top of John's and leaned in to kiss him. "Okay, so tell me what you've got done so far, at least now we know the date things should get easier." "Well, I have my dress and everything, brides maids, I talked to Marlena and Belle last night and they said that they would love to do it, and Bille is going to be my maid of honor. We have to decide where we're going to have the wedding and reception, I was thinking the Penthouse Grill or Alice's, we need to find out what kind of food we're going to serve and you have to find your groomsmen..." "Done" said John as he interrupted Kate. "Done?" she asked. Nodding his head, John smiled, "Yup all done, I talked to Brady and he's going to be my best man, and Roman and I talked last night and even though with everything that has happened he's agreed to be one of my groomsmen along with Philip." "I love you so much, this helps me out so much..this is going to be perfect" said Kate as he kissed John. "I love you too Katie girl, anything for the woman I love".
3 months later, most of the wedding plans were in place. John and Kate had rented out the Penthouse Grill for both the wedding and reception. Tables, food and flowers were done, they had decide white roses for the flowers and appetizers for the wedding, nothing really fancy. The brides maids would be wearing light baby dresses while the groom and groomsmen wore black tuxes. "Oh my god...John....." cried Kate as she slumped down on the couch. John came running to her side, "What is it? Is it the baby?" he asked. "We don't have a song picked out...everything else is done, but we don't have a song", cried Kate as John cradled her in his arms. "Kate, honey, it's okay. I've taken care of that and your going to love it. Now its just the hormones from the pregnancy that's making you feel like this, everything is going to be okay, I promise. I love you", he said as he kissed the top of her head.
Days before the wedding, everything was in place. All the invitations to friends and family of both John and Kate had been sent out. Now all they had to do was wait for the big day.
