Sorry for taking months to update this. I'm really not very good at writing multiple chapter stories. I've known all along where this story is going but it doesn't make it any easier for me to write. It all sounds better in my head than it does in Microsoft Word. I don't know if I like this chapter. Please review.
Disclaimer: I still don't own themChandler hestitantly knocked on the door to the bridal suite.
His mother opened the door and let him in. Chandler's jaw dropped when he saw her standing in her wedding dress. She looked beautiful. And classy. He wasn't used to seeing his mom looking so classy. She looked like a whole other person. "Wow, Mom, you look beautiful" he stated nervously.
Nora smiled brightly at her son and enveloped him in a hug and kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you dear, and thank you for being so great about all of this. I know how strange this is for you."
"I just want you to be happy. If you're happy, that's what matters" he responded somberly.
"More than you know" Nora said, beaming with happiness.
She looked at her son "I am so proud of you. You have become a wonderful young man, despite having been raised by me" she said with a laugh. "I couldn't have asked for a better son. I love you so much even if I didn't always show it enough" she said causing Chandler to blush.
Nora wanted nothing but the best for her son. She wanted him to be happy, and hoped that one day he would find a true love like she finally had. Maybe it would be sooner than he realized. She was determined to have him meet Monica.
The moment was finally here. Chandler stood outside the double plated doors next to his mom. It was now or never. He didn't know why he felt so nervous. All he had to do was walk his mom down the aisle. She was the one getting married. Chandler turned to take her arm. She really did look beautiful.
On cue, Chandler and Nora emerged through the doors. All eyes were on them.
Jack and Judy Geller watched as Chandler walked down the aisle their eyes filled with rage aimed at the young man. They blamed him for this travesty.
Judy knew he was no good the second she had met their favorite child's roommate. He didn't seem like the serious, studious type, someone who would be an appropriate influence on Ross. He seemed like the type capable of corrupting her straightlaced son. For some strange reason Ross liked him, but Judy knew better. Anyone that sarcastic couldn't be trusted. And it turned out her instincts were right.
All that Ross gained out of his friendship with that no good boy was meeting the boy's tramp of a mother. For a woman the same age as herself, Judy thought she dressed like a harlot. Her son was only a man, she could understand him sleeping with her, but having a serious relationship with a woman like that?
For the life of her, she couldn't understand what her son was thinking. Ross deserved better, someone younger, more elegant, respectable, who didn't dress like the characters on the covers of her erotic novels.
Jack and Judy had desperately wanted grandchildren from their son. Ross would never have children now that he was marrying a woman old enough to be his mother. That Chandler boy had a way of ruining all their plans for their first born and favorite child.
If only Monica hadn't been so fat growing up, Judy thought. Maybe she would have been popular then and Ross could have fallen for one of her friends, someone more appropriate, closer to his age. But no. Monica was a huge disappointment to her, and her failure to have been thin and have friends for her brother's sake was just another one of her many shortcomings. The Geller's, Judy especially, always dismissed their youngest daughter Monica as a lost cause. They didn't expect or want anything from her. Even now when Monica was thin, beautiful and a successful chef, Judy still thought she was a failure. All of their dreams were for Ross, and now they were no more.
Monica was about to receive the shock of her life. She knew Nora would be walking down the aisle with her son. But she had no idea...
From her place at the front of the aisle, her heart skipped a beat. She thought she was dreaming, making it up. It was him. The man of her dreams, walking slowly towards her. She had thought she would never see him again. This was definitely unexpected. Now here he was inching closer by the minute. Monica smiled brightly at him, feeling a combination of nervous and excited. She was unable to take her eyes off of him, afraid if she looked away he wouldn't really be there..
He smiled nervously and held tightly on to his mother, smiling politely at everyone they passed.
When they reached the front, he finally saw her. She was standing there smiling at him, a vision of loveliness. She was every bit as beautiful as he had remembered.This day was suddenly taking a turn for the better. Maybe he hadn't blown his chance after all.
He handed his mother off to his former best friend. This definitely had to be the most bizarre thing he had ever done. But her happiness was what mattered.
Besides the maid of honor was the sole focus of his attention now anyway.
He'd thought he'd lost her once, he wasn't going to lose her again.
Twenty minutes later, Ross and Nora were declared husband and wife, but as for Chandler and Monica, all they could see was each other.
Okay, there will be one more chapter, hopefully it will be better than this one. Please review.
