She steadied herself as she walked to the front desk. Her legs were wobbling. The doctor had warned her of these side effects from the chemotherapy. She straightened her wig and approached the concierge.

"Excuse me, could you tell me what room is the Green-Geller wedding?" she asked.

The clerk looked at his screen and punched in the names."Got it right here, Green-Geller , the Manhattan room 2 p.m."

"Thank you ever so much, love." the woman said.

"Hey you're from England aren't you?" the young man asked. "My lover is too."

"What part?' she said glad there would be at least one friendly face.

"Sussex , and you?" he smiled.

"No where but London." she exclaimed.

"I'm Brian, Welcome to America." he said as he extended his hand.

"Emily Waltham Wallace." she said. "Now Brian if you will excuse me, I have a wedding to go to." Emily found the hotel map and started toward the room.

The procession started lining up. Ben took his half sister's hand and proceeded to walk down the aisle. Holding the pillow, he managed to help her throw her rose petals.

Gina came down the aisle next in a low cut lavender gown. Her hair was pinned to the side by a silk flower. She smiled as she reached the altar , looking at her brother the minister proudly.

Carol walked down next . She gave a wink to Susan as she passed her. Susan blew her a kiss. Ben couldn't believe what a pretty mom he had and now he was going to have a pretty step mom as well.

Chandler escorted on each arm Phoebe and Monica. He walked up the aisle as the string quartet played Pachbel. Monica looked ravishing in an off the shoulder purple dress with gold trim on it. Phoebe wore a goddess type gown in gold. It showed Phoebe as the earth goddess she was. It also took away Joey's breath of how beautiful she really was.

The orchestra seized as the door was being opened. The light shown thru as the gossamer gown showed only a woman bathed in the rays of the sun. The diamonds on her tiara sparkled like tiny little snowflakes glistening in the snow.

She was the princess who was going to marry her prince.The violin started the familiar song Here Comes the Bride… Ross turned to smile at Monica and then he turned his head. She was like an angel….

He heard a familiar song in his head…..memories light the corners of my mind…misty water colored memories of the way we were……..

It was another place and time as she stood around in her blue prom dress and asked him to fasten her. ..she ran into Central Perk on another day soaking wet in a bridal gown…the day she came back into his life.

Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind …smiles we gave to one another of the way we were………..

The best times they had were just hanging around and talking . Of course there was also when they would sneak up to Monica's after a long day of waitressing and just kiss each other.

Can it be that it was all so simple then, or had time rewritten every line ..if we had the chance to do it all again…tell me would we could we..

The night of the benefit she had taken forever to get ready, but it was so worth it. He stood there in a tuxedo like today as she hugged him, she must have had tears in her eyes for she loved him still.

Memories may be beautiful and yet…ones to painful to remember..we simply choose to forget….

He was on his knees to her. He never wanted it to happen . It was his jealousy and his foolish pride. She said that things could never be the same between them ever. After his trip carrying their daughter, he opened the door and saw her kissing Joey. The door closed and she got on a flight to leave his life. Everything seemed so final..

So it's the laughter…we will remember…whenever we remember the way we were……

She had just given birth and she was so perfect…a little version of Rachel.

The way we were….

They sat and looked at the stars in the planetarium . She turned to him with love in her eyes.

"you were worth the wait, and I don't just mean tonight."

Rachel Karen Green was now standing with all her best friends by her. The ones who shared her joys and fears. The ones she celebrated with and cried with. The ones who helped her as she started on that journey ten years ago to be independent. Tears glistened in back of her lace veil as she looked into those brown eyes she knew so well.

Leonard kissed her and turned to Ross, "Be good to her son." then he left to sit with Sandra.

Rachel moved her hand into Ross' and Joey began.

"Today is a very special day as we join in holy matrimony Rachel and Ross. If there is any one who can show just cause why these two should not be joined together, let him speak now or forever hold their piece.

"Stop it! Stop it! I have to say something." the lady popped up in the back.

Ross turned around to see her, "EMILY!!!" he said as Rachel fainted.
