XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXThe The wedding day dawned bright and sunny; not a cloud in the sky and just a touch of gentle breeze. The air was warm and dry, and the birds chirped in the trees.

It was perfect.

A day for barbecues and swimming pools, for picnics and volleyball in the park; a day for celebrating.

No sounds of celebration emanated from this house though, the wedding party could find nothing worth celebrating.

The house was bustling with hair people and wardrobe people; with people asking questions about caterers, about flowers, about cake.

Vince, Leon, and Brian were all over at the rectory of the catholic church the wedding was to take place in. They, along with the groom, would be getting ready there.

Meanwhile the girls, Sonya, Mia, and Letty were at the house.

The dresses had been selected by Victoria and although well intentioned they just didn't suit the women at all.

With Mia and Sonya she'd come close...

... with Letty she'd completely missed the mark...

The dresses were all full and rather poofy at the bottom while fitted at the top. A rather belle style that was completely off for the three women.

Sonya dressed quickly and then appointed herself caretaker of the girls... mostly to avoid the dismal atmosphere that seemed to materialize whenever Mia and Letty were in the same room.

The two women said nothing to each other. They hardly even looked at each other, both afraid that any and all eye contact would cause them to burst into tears.

Dom had left the day before and those goodbye's had been teary enough. Letty hadn't gone to say goodbye, she figured the kitchen argument was enough to keep them warm at night.

It hurt... not being able to see Taylor one last time...

... but she convinced herself it was for the best...

... that given time she'd forget those chocolate eyes filled with adoration, the sweet, serious voice asking her something, the solemn intensity with which he carried out any request she made...

... the way his little arms felt around her neck as he whispered I love you...

... the way he smelled right after a bath...

... the way his skin flushed a delicate pink while he slept...

... she'd forget...

She'd make herself forget.

She hadn't actually looked at herself this morning. She'd turned herself over completely to the qualified personnel as Victoria called them who were pretty much running her wedding.

They'd been zipping her into things, sticking stuff into her, attaching things to her, and smearing stuff over, for hours.

She hadn't made so much as a peep.

She hadn't smiled once either.

Around her they all commented that there was no reason to be nervous; that it was such a gorgeous day; that she looked so beautiful.

She just nodded and let them continue what they were doing. Occasionally she'd hear the girls voices from somewhere, but they sounded no where near as giddy as they normally did.

"Alright! All finished!" a Frenchwoman who seemed to be the ringleader, declared suddenly, "You ze the most beautiful bride in ze world!" she said proudly.

Letty tried to smile at her as she stood, losing her balance a little at the weight of the material on the bottom part of the dress, not to mention the three-inch heels she wore, the smile was wane though.

Not practical, but fashionable, Victoria had said about the shoes.

And since this was business mingling as well as her wedding, fashionable won out.

She walked rather unsteadily to the full length mirror, wondering why her head felt so heavy.

A hush fell around the room as they all waited to see what the bride's reaction would be.

Letty stared at herself.

... Or at least she thought it was herself...

The white dress was form fitting along the bodice, but suddenly ballooned out around her, with several layers of tulle and silk to make it wide. The sleeves were quarter-length and carried the poofy theme as well.

Her hair had been piled atop her head in elaborate curls with pearls and tiny flowers intrinsically laid among it; and somehow among the pearls and tiny flowers they'd managed to attached a white veil and a tiny white tiara. The veil was heavy and thrown back over her head, it managed to cover the back of the dress...

... which as she turned...

... she discovered had a large bow at the base of her spine; and from the bow fell more layers of cloth that formed a rather long train.

The dress was not hideous. It was actually... lovely... and obviously expensive. Nothing but the best had been used.

It just wasn't Letty...

... at all...

In the mirror she caught Mia's eyes...

... turning to face the woman... they just stared at each other.

The room began to fill with tension, as everyone surreptitiously looked at each other.

Suddenly though, Mia and Letty simultaneously burst into laughter.

Bringing their hands to their mouths they began to chuckle uncontrollably as the personnel stared at them as if they were insane.

"Yo-you loo-look like a cupc-cupcake!" Mia said between laughs.

Letty nodded, staggering over to the chair again before she fell. The other women in the room looked at them reprovingly, but they didn't care... it felt good to laugh.

Mia went over to her and sat beside her so they could talk while Letty's make-up was being done.

In the end though, Mia shoved the woman out of the way before she turned her best friend into a contestant for the Miss America Drag Pageant.

"Blue eye shadow! she was about to put blue eye shadow on you!" Mia gasped.

Letty smirked, "It's not her fault. Everyone's make-up coordination abilities pale when beside you."

Mia laughed a little, "I'll make at least this part of you look normal."

"I'll give you $100 for every picture you sabotage," Letty stated.

"Uh-- Letty-- Angelo hired professional, top of the line photographers remember?"

Letty smirked, "I'm sure you could figure something out," she said wryly.

"Sometime all the scheming in the world isn't enough," Mia said softly, and immediately regretted the words.

"Sorry," she said simply, "... that came out wrong... I didn't mean-"

"Yes you did," Letty interrupted.

Mia sighed, finishing up, "Yeah, I guess I did."

"It iz time to go to ze Church!!" the woman stated in her shrill voice.

Letty took a deep breath, "Thanks Mia," she said, "... for accepting this..." she added after a moment.

Mia nodded slowly, "I'm you're friend Letty, there was never a condition that you had to be with my brother for that," she paused, "... that part was just a bonus."

Letty said nothing and no response was necessary since suddenly the room was a buzz of activity again and they were being pulled out of the room.

The church was immaculately adorned. Stargazer lilies, Calla lillies, roses, stephanotis, gerbera daisy's filled the isles and decorated the alter.

The church was packed with people, most of whom were business associates.

The pews were gleaming and the music was playing.

The twins made there way down first; one after the other slowly sprinkling petals around them.

They were dressed in identical white and peach dresses. There hair had also been adorned with pearls and flowers, something they would ordinarily have oo'ed and awe'ed about, but today they noticeably silent.

Their expressions were solemn and the audience thought they were the cutest things in the world.

Sonya walked after them, praying to any all gods that would listen, for this wedding to stop. She had nothing against Angelo, in fact he'd made a much better first impression than Dom had.... but.... the family would be happier if Letty married Dom... so she prayed...

Next Mia made the walk, her steps firm and slow, her eyes straight ahead. She concentrated all her efforts on not bursting into tears. On not dwelling on the fact that this was Letty's wedding.

Her wedding to another man.

A wedding that would take her away...

... that would change everything...

She made it to the front finally and turned to seek out Brian's gaze, he held Bria in his arms and she felt a lump in her throat.

Bria wouldn't know Letty the way the girls did...

The music changed suddenly and the people as a whole stood.

That was her cue, Letty thought, almost snapping to attention.

She had told the guys she didn't want anyone to walk her down the isle; that she'd be fine by herself.

And now as she began the walk she almost regretted it. It would be nice to have someone squeeze her hand in silent support, although by the looks on the guys faces... none of them were supporting this.

She could feel the eyes of everyone on her, as they studied her, speculated about her.

This was audience of strangers; and they were judging her.

Her steps were firm and very slow... mostly so she wouldn't trip on the dress with the shoes.

And the entire building was silent except for the music.

She made it to the alter, handed her bouquet to Mia, and turned to face Angelo. Gently he took her hands in his, giving them that supportive squeeze she yearned for.

She smiled at him... as best she could...

...I'll be happy...

She told herself as the Priest began speaking.

"Dearly beloved," he began, "We are gathered here..."

You could be happier...

The words seeped into her thoughts, softly, until she could hear nothing else.

"... to join in holy matrimony..."

"...Leticia Medina and Angelo DaSylvia..."

She was trembling suddenly...

... trembling with certainty...

Slowly she disentangled her hands from Angelo's.

He gave her an odd look.

She returned it with one of confidence.

Turning to face the priest she held up her hands, "I'm sorry... could you... stop..."

The man blinked at her in utter astonishment, she almost chuckled, it was obvious no one - and certainly not the bride - had ever interrupted him during the ceremony.

Turning back to Angelo she stepped up to him, pressing herself close to him so that no one, not even the priest could hear her words to him.

"I'll give you half of the company anyway; and I'll find a way to run the Chicago office from here. I promise."

He pulled back, quickly, alarmed.

Shock and disbelief displayed on his face.

He opened his mouth to speak, she went up on tippee-toes, so that her mouth was right on his ear.

"I could be happier," she whispered, before pulling back to look at his face.

She saw understanding register on his face, saw in his green eyes how much he loved her...

... and because of that love....

... because all he'd ever wanted was for her to be happy...

... he nodded...

Reaching out he grasped her forearms and pressed a kiss to her forehead. They stayed like that a moment, with their eyes closed, saying their goodbye.

Before her eyes shot open and she whirled away from him to face the audience.

With out so much as by-your-leave she lifted her dress, as well as she could, and headed down the isle.

"Ladies and Gentlemen," Angelo said in a booming voice, directing their attention away from her and to him, "Ms. Medina had realized there is somewhere she needs to be right now and will thus be unable to finish with the ceremony."

Before the group had a chance groan, Angelo smoothly continued, "However, for your troubles I would be delighted if you could accompany me to the Hilton Hotel where we'll be having a small gathering..."

He continued to placate the crowd, within minutes people were forgetting there suppose to be a wedding, but Mia was no longer listening.

Her eyes shining she dropped the bouquet on the floor and stalked over to Brian.

"Give me your wallet," she demanded, her eyes on the figure in white who was almost at the door.

Brian stared at her open-mouthed, "What?"

"GIVE ME YOUR WALLET!" she hissed at him.

He practically dislocated a shoulder, getting it out and handing it to Mia.

She grabbed it and raced down the isle, ignoring the curious looks people tossed her.

Outside in the sunshine, a sun that seemed so much brighter, she called out "LETTY!"

The figure in white stopped on the verge of entering the limo that was waiting for the married couple.

When Letty looked up at her Mia tossed her the wallet. Letty caught it automatically and was still looking down at it when Mia spoke again.

"Los Angeles Airport, Gate 16; flight leaves at noon."

There eyes met and they grinned widely, Letty nodded, "Thanks!" she called out before getting into the limo.

Watching it speed off Mia couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Soon Brian and the guys joined her, followed by the girls and Sonya.

They all laughed hysterically, congratulating each other, patting each other back and hugging

"We did it!!" Mia yelled as Vince picked her up and twirled her around.

"Glory to the heavens! There is a god!!" Sonya yelled, grinning.

The girls looked up at the adults in utter confusion.

"They're all crazy," Jessa whispered.

"What else is new?" Dolly responded, before tugging on her dad's pant leg. He wasn't screaming or jumping like the others because he had the baby in his arms.

"Daddy what did we do?"

Brian grinned down at them, "We got them to stay," he said simply.

The girls blinked up at him, then looked at each, slow smiles crossing their faces.

"Forever?" Dolly questioned.

Brian nodded, "Forever."

The girls grinned at each other, before beginning to shriek like banshees as they leaped around in happiness.

The jumped on the adults and Leon and Vince were more than happy to pick them up and toss them in the air.

The giggles and laughter floated up through the clouds, as the sunshine bathed the ecstatic family in a warm, golden glow.

... it finally sounded like a celebration...
