It was getting close to Christmas day. Charlie was still puzzled as to why himself and Jackie hadn't seen a Vicar about the ceremony yet. 'That can only be a good sign.' he thought to himself. Jackie was in their living room wrapping up presents to take to the party. As she wrapped, she sang along to the radio. Charlie stared at her 'She's so pretty, sure she can't sing but she's pretty. I can't break her heart and say that we can't get married till next year.' At that moment, Charlie's phone beeped. "Great, a text!" he muttered.
It was from Shelton, it read: So have u spoken to Jackie yet? U have to some point u no!
Charlie knew that his best friend was right. Sighing he walked into the living room where Jackie was singing 'So here it is Merry Christmas' at the top of her voice!
"Hey Charlie!" Jackie said before kissing him on the lips. Charlie loved it when she did that.
"Ummm, where's your dress?" Charlie asked nervously.
"What, for the party? Up stairs in the closet, you know that honey!" she giggled.
"No actually I meant...ummm your Wedding dress"
"My Wedding Dress"
"Yes for when we get married on the 24th December"
"I haven't got it yet, after all I have got a year to go"
"You, you mean we aren't getting married until next year?" Charlie asked with a sound of relief in his tone.
"No sweetie we said that it would be too soon, remember?"
"We, we did"
"Oh Chaz you didn't.....did you"
"Well yes I did kinda think we were getting married this year"
Before Charlie said anymore, Jackie burst out laughing and cuddled him tightly.
"When I said it was my dream to get married on Christmas Eve, I meant Christmas Eve next year silly!" Jackie laughed.
Charlie smiled "At least we'll be able to go and see Shelt in Shawn's Christmas thing at the party"
"Well I'm looking more forward to the after party!" Jackie purred.

Meanwhile, everyone that was participating in some shape or form at the party was in Vince's office sorting out the final details.....

"So, does everyone know what they are doing?" Vince inquired.
The whole room responded with a not so enthusiastic 'yes' before Vince continued.
"Shawn have the groups sorted out their roles in the play"
"Just about, still a few minor snags but everything's going to plan"
"Have the costumes arrived"
"Who said that?" everyone looked around.
"It was me..... BATISTA"
"Oh so you can speak?" Triple H laughed.
"Yes! So, have they arrived Shawn"
"Yes they arrived yesterday, all of them"
"When do we get to try them on?" RVD asked.
"Tomorrow is the dresses rehearsal, before the event actually happens"
"So you mean the Rock has to take time out of his busy schedule to go to some dress rehearsal"
"Yes." Shawn said instantly.
"Ok that's cool"
"Have the decorations been organised yet Teddy?" Vince sighed.
"The names THEODORE R LONG and yes they have playa"
"Myself and Tazzy will help Theodore Long put them up tomorrow won't we love?" Michael Cole rubbed his hands together in shear delight of spending time with fellow Smackdown! commentator, Tazz.
"Uh I think so Cole." Tazz shrugged.
"JR, how's the food preparation coming a long"
"Fine son, me and Jerry are gonna sort it all out tomorrow"
"Oh my!" shouted Cole.
"Goodie, free food!" Tazz laughed.
"Well that's settled then. Tomorrow, all of you shall be at my house for 10 am so that you can start preparing yourselves. DISMISSED!" Vince shouted.

Afterwards, Triple H caught up with Shawn to ask him something.
"Do you think that Randy actually will turn up tomorrow"
"He said on the phone last night he would do, even if he couldn't today. I ring him later just to make sure"
"He's got a main part in this thought!" Triple H reasoned.
"Well if worse comes to worse I'll step in for him ok"
"Yeah, I guess!" Hunter sighed "But doesn't Randy have to snog Stacy at the end of it all"
"Yeah, I guess I'd just pretend to kiss her"
"Don't want Rebecca getting jealous do you"
"Certainly not!"

How will the preparations go? Will Randy turn up to the rehearsals? More to follow.....
