A/N- Honestly, I've totally abandoned this story and my fans...I'm sorry, guys. It's just that junior year is killing me slowly right now, and I haven't had time to actually write all that much anymore. I received all the reviews from my long break, and I appreciate those who have encourage me to go on. This chapter is the ending to the sequel. So, I'm sorry with the bad news, but I got to end it sometime. Enjoy!
Chapter 16: Wedding Bells
New York City: Grand Cathedral 11:35 a.m.
Outside the elaborately decorated church; people were arriving to the loveliest wedding ever. White limos lined the red-carpeted sidewalk. They were decorated in the most vibrant flowers, and put together by the hottest wedding planners in town.
Everything was going perfectly well until Phoebe started freaking out in her room. "OH, MY GOD! I can't do this," Phoebe said pacing through the room with her white dress on. The tail of the dress was lined in tiny, shiny pearls. The sleeve of the dress was off the shoulder type of sleeve that exposed her shoulders in the sexiest way. Her white gloves matched the dress in every detail. She was the most beautiful bride New York has ever seen.
"Phoebe, stop! You're messing up your make up," Prue chastised. "I don't care. I can't do this," Phoebe said sitting down and then standing up real quick. "You've got to stop this. You've wanted this all your life. Your fairy tail wedding," Piper reminded. "But I'm scared. I have to talk to Cole," Phoebe said going for the door. "No, it's bad luck to see him before the wedding, Phoebe. You know that!" Piper insisted. "Can't he just talk to me from outside the door??? I really have to talk to him," Phoebe emphasized. "Okay, we'll leave to get Cole, but do not open the door. Okay?" Prue asked. "Yes," Phoebe answered.
Prue and Piper left to go get Cole who was already down in front of the altar right now. Victor kissed Phoebe's cheek, and said, "I'll be walking you down the aisle." "I'll see you, daddy," Phoebe said as he closed the door.
"Andy? Leo?" Prue called through their walkie-talkie. "What Prue?" Andy replied. "I need whoever's closest to Cole right now to go up to him, and tell him to come to the back. Don't make a big deal out of it, because we don't want the crowd to get worked up. Just tap him, and say that Phoebe needs to talk to him, okay?" Prue asked. "Got it," Andy replied.
Through the crowd Prue could see Leo gently tapping Cole's shoulder, and whispering into his ear. Cole looked down the aisle at Prue, and he left the altar to the back of the chapel. "What's wrong? Is Phoebe okay?" Cole asked. "Phoebe said she needed to talk to you," Piper insisted. "Just outside the door, don't go in," Prue reminded. "Thanks," Cole said walking down the hall. He knocked on it first.
"Phoebe?" Cole's warm voice called out to her from behind the door. "Cole?" Phoebe asked wanting to open it, but she knew she couldn't. "What's wrong, baby?" Cole asked. "I think I have cold feet," Phoebe stated. Cole laughed. "I'll warm it up for you," Cole joked. "How can you even joke at a time like this?" Phoebe asked in a rather pouting way.
"Phoebe, we both wanted this for a long time now. To start a life together, and now we're getting that chance right now. To wake up to you every morning is like waking up in heaven. I wouldn't give that up for anything. You're so important to me, Phoebe. Without you I wouldn't know what to do with myself," Cole said. "What if I'm not what you expect me to be?" Phoebe asked. "You've never been what I've expected you to be. You've been much more than I've expected. That's what I love about you, you keep me guessing and there's not a boring moment with you," Cole said.
"Cole?" Phoebe asked. "Yes, baby?" Cole answered. "I love you," Phoebe said. "I love you, too. I'm ready to tell you how much I love you in a few vows. What do you say we get this wedding started?" Cole asked. "Yeah," Phoebe answered. "I'll see you soon," Cole said departing from the door and straightening out his white tux.
"Ready?" Prue asked. "Yes, how do I look?" Cole asked. "Your bow is a little off," Piper said fixing it. "Thanks, take care of Phoebe for me," Cole said making his way back up to the altar. "Let's go check on Phoebe," Prue said rushing down the hall with Piper.
The wedding planners lined them up in the order that it was planned beforehand. The flower girl, the ring barrier, and then the lovely bridesmaid and groomsmen. The chapel doors closed for the entrance of Phoebe, and her father after the aisle cleared.
"Are you ready, sweetheart?" Victor asked. "Yes," Phoebe answered with a smile. The doors opened revealing Victor and Phoebe. The quartet started playing "Here Comes the Bride", of course. The 450 something people that was there stood from their seats to greet her. Cameras went off from their professional photographers, and from the people of the congregation.
Down that aisle, however, was a very emotional Cole who had tears in his eyes. "Who gives this woman to this man?" The priest asked. 'Woman', that word gave Phoebe a moment of clarity. She wasn't viewed as a little girl anymore, but a 'woman'. "I do," Her father replied letting her go to Cole.
They took each other's hands, and faced the priest. Cole was taken away by her exquisite beauty; he couldn't take his eyes off her lovely sight.
"Phoebe, repeat these words after me," The priest said. Phoebe gave a slight nod. "I, Phoebe Elizabeth Halliwell..." "I, Phoebe Elizabeth Halliwell..." Phoebe repeated looking at Cole. "Take thee, Coleridge Benjamin Turner to be my lawfully wedded husband..." "Take thee, Coleridge Benjamin Turner to be my lawfully wedded husband..." Phoebe said. "To honor, love, and cherish him till death do us part..." "To honor, love, and cherish him till death do us part," Phoebe's voice trembled as tears filled her eyes. "With this ring, I thee wed," The priest finished. "With this ring, I thee wed," Phoebe said sliding the ring onto his finger. She looked up and smiled through her tears of happiness.
Cole reached up and wiped them away. "Coleridge, please repeat after me," the priest said. "I, Coleridge Benjamin Turner..." "I, Coleridge Benjamin Turner..." Cole repeated holding their wedding band on Phoebe's finger. "Take thee, Phoebe Elizabeth Halliwell..." "Take thee, Phoebe Eliz-" Cole paused from the tears that threaten to fall from his eyes. Phoebe smiled at him encouraging him to continue. "Phoebe Elizabeth Halliwell..." He finished. "To be my lawfully wedded wife..." "To be my lawfully wedded wife..." Cole repeated. "To honor, love, and cherish her till death do us part..." "To honor, love,, and cherish her till death do us part..." Cole recited through trembling words. "With this ring, I thee wed," The priest finished. "With this ring, I thee wed," Cole said sliding the ring onto her finger; over the white gloves she had on.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride," The priest stated closing his book. Cole leaned in for the most riveting kisses he ever gave Phoebe.
The chapel doors opened, and they ran out to their getaway limo decorated in flowers and the "just married" sign was all done in assorted colors of Hershey's kisses candy. Before Phoebe climbed in, she tossed the bouquet to all the single ladies. And no one other than Piper should catch it...
Phoebe smiled at her sister, and waved good-bye to everyone. Cole climbed in the limo with her, and they were flown to Italy where they will spent two whole weeks honey-mooning.
The foundation of a new beginning is about to unfold...
THE END
