Dani awoke to the shrieks of her bridesmaids, today was the big day. They had spent the night at a hotel so she could be fully pampered and unseen by Randy. Alyssa was the maid of honor, she had known Dani forever and was the one who turned Jewel Chest over to Dani, Sara and Emily were Dani's cousins, Becky was Randy's sister, and Melanie was another childhood friend. "Wake up!" They cried.

Alyssa hopped on the bed next to Dani. "How do you feel?"

"Like I need some breakfast." Dani replied.

"Perfect. Here's what we've planned out." Alyssa said pointing to a dry-erase board. "We're going to go and grab breakfast at a café, then we're going to go to the salon. First we're getting massages, then pedicures, manicures and our hair done. Then we'll go and have some lunch. Then we come back here and get dressed, then the make-up person will do our make-up. We have to be to the church by 3:00pm for pictures and the wedding is at 4:30pm."

MEANWHILE…

Randy woke to the sound of someone pounding on his door. Randy looked at his watch and seen that it was only 10:00am, he groaned and got out of bed.

He opened the door and there was John, "Dude, happy wedding day!" He exclaimed.

"I was still sleeping, if I sleep, I'm not nervous." Randy replied.

John walked in the apartment and shut the door. "Well, tell your nerves to wake up because today is your big day. I called and made appointments for all of us at the barber shop at 11:00am and then we're going to Buns and Roses (Randy's favorite topless bar) for lunch, then we're going to the church to get dressed, because we have to be ready by 3:00pm for pictures and the wedding is at 4:30pm, then the party is at 5:30pm."

"Buns and Roses huh?" Randy replied with a chuckle.

"Well, we never really had a "bachelor party" and there were enough events going on to where it probably wouldn't have been well received. And that's why we're going there for lunch." John explained.

So how are we all getting there?" Randy asked.

"Well, I drove my Escalade, so there's plenty of room in there." John replied. "The rest of the guys will be here at 10:15am, so I suggest you get your ass in the shower."

Randy headed for the shower, "Make yourself at home John."

John walked around the apartment, a lot of their stuff was boxed up, but there were still tons of pictures out. He knew that Dani had a thing for pictures, she loved to be surrounded by their friends and family. He walked around looking at all of the pictures. Every picture that had Randy and Dani in it, they both looked like two starry-eyed kids in love. John smiled, he knew that Randy and Dani were meant to be together. As much as he liked Dani and hated how Randy had hurt her, he truly believed that Randy had thoroughly learned his lesson and was now and forever dedicated to Dani…till death do them part.

The rest of the groomsmen and Randy's father showed up. John set up the digital camera and had everyone stand in a line, John as the best man, then Nathan, Randy's brother, then Brock Lesnar, (wrestling friend), Matt (childhood friend) and Alex (another childhood friend) and then Randy's father Bob. John took a picture of them, and then when Randy came out, John took one of all of them with Randy in the middle.

Then they headed out to start their day.

The boys arrived at the church at 2:30pm, they all changed into their tuxes and headed down to meet with the photographer.

The photographer began their pictures, and the women didn't arrive at the church until 3:15pm. They were all dressed and John took Randy down to the alter and had him turn around. He signaled for Dani to make her entrance.

Dani walked down the aisle in her beautiful gown. It was a white, off-the-shoulder princess dress. It had intricate beading and lace. The train was long and beautiful with the pattern extending all the way to the end. She had a veil that she had covering her face. But you were still able to see a couple of soft ringlets frame her face. Her make-up was very soft and natural. Yes she was very pregnant in her dress, but she was still radiant. She had a sort of presence about her.

She held her bouquet full of brightly colored flowers with some soft white roses scattered throughout the cascade. She took a deep breath and touched Randy's shoulder.

Randy turned around and had to catch his breath. There she was, his bride-to-be, the mother of his unborn children. 14 years later, and still he went weak in the knees. The photographer took pictures as he drank in the sight of his beautiful bride. He lifted her veil and tears came to his eyes. Whatever fears he had about settling down for life were instantly gone. In his heart, he knew he was home.

Dani's eyes began to fill with tears, "This is it." She whispered. "Any doubts?" She asked quietly.

Randy shook his head, "No, this is exactly what I want." He said taking her into his arms. He leaned in to her ear and whispered, "I love you princess."

She smiled and held him close, "I love you too stud."

"Let's take some pictures." He said holding her hand.

Dani nodded and checked her make-up.

Randy stood back and watched her, he still couldn't believe that he had ever felt he needed something else. Maybe the shrink was right and it was Randy "sowing his oats" since he had never been with anyone else, but now he knew that he didn't need anybody else.

Dani snuck up behind her father and tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around and couldn't believe his eyes, she looked so much like her mom. "You look beautiful pumpkin."

She smiled, "Thanks daddy." And they hugged. "Your momma and your sister would have been so proud of you."

Dani nodded, "They're here. Just not where we can see them. But I can feel them." She gave him another hug and walked with him for pictures.

Finally the pictures were over and it was time for the guests to be seated and the wedding party to get ready.

Amongst the guests were many wrestling friends, many school friends, and two surprising guests…Candice and Christy.

Christy shook her head, "I can't believe I let you talk me into coming here. I can't believe you're going to go through with it."

"Yup I sure am." Candice said sitting down and burying her head in the program.

Soon the wedding began. Randy walked down the aisle with his mother and his father and seated them in the front row. He turned and faced the congregation awaiting his bride.

The chapel rose, and the music began. The bridesmaids and groomsmen were in place, the flower girl and ring bearer had walked down the aisle, and now it was Dani's turn. She gripped her dad's arm tightly. She should have never squeezed her swollen feet into her Cinderella shoes she was realizing. "Don't let me fall." She whispered.

"Sweetie, it's time to walk." He replied.

She took a deep breath and they began their journey down the aisle. Dani's eyes were filled with tears already and seeing Randy made her smile. It was finally here, her wedding day. They had overcome so many things, and had so many surprises along the way, but here they were. Love had truly conquered all.

Her dad kissed her and took his seat. Randy took Dani's hand and together they faced the priest. He went through the wedding vows, and for Dani, everything was muted. The babies were doing summersaults and kicking and it was really getting painful. She took a deep breath. She was growing very warm, and a little light-headed.

Randy glanced at her, and noticed she was getting a little pale. He squeezed her hand and gave her a questioning look.

She just smiled back and kept on breathing. Her abdomen was getting tighter and tighter, and there was a deep, throbbing pain in her lower back. She quickly counted how many weeks she was in her head, She was just about 30 weeks along, she had a few days till she was 30 weeks. She quickly crossed off labor, it couldn't be that when she wasn't even 30 weeks along and full-term was 40 weeks. She nodded her head and smiled. She knew what it was, her blood pressure must be high because of the stress of the day. As soon as she relaxes, everything will be fine. So she took another deep breath and focused on the ceremony.

They went to the unity candle and "All for Love" drifted through the church. "Are you ok?" Randy whispered.

"I'm not feeling real good, but I think my blood pressure must be high so as soon as I relax, it'll lower and I'll be back to normal." She replied in a stressed whisper.

"Are you in pain?" He asked nervously.

"Yeah, it's just braxton hicks caused by my high blood pressure I bet." She replied. They lit the candle and posed and then went back before the priest.

They exchanged rings, and said their vows.

The priest got to the part in the ceremony where he asked if anyone objected to the union of the couple before them, and from way in the back of the church arose a petite brunette, "Please let me say something before you continue." And the woman began to walk towards them.

Randy's eyes opened wide, Candice was there, and now interrupting their wedding. He silently cursed her out as she walked closer.

Dani looked at Randy with fury in her eyes, "What is she doing here?" She hissed. And as much as Dani had been trying to avoid her stomach because she didn't want people focusing on her as being a "pregnant bride," but just as the "bride" the pains were getting worse.

Randy couldn't respond, he didn't remember giving her an invitation and he was shocked and scared to death at the same time.

Candice looked over at the groomsmen and seen John mouthing to her to sit down, but she looked at Randy and Dani. "I just wanted to tell you that I'm very sorry for everything that has happened recently, and I am truly happy for the two of you. I wish you two nothing but happiness. Congratulations." She looked at the priest, "Thank you, you may continue." And she turned and returned to her seat.

Trish and Stacy shot her evil looks as she walked past them back to her seat. "I can't believe she did that." Stacy hissed to Trish. "How tacky is that?"

Trish just shook her head in disbelief. Molly leaned across Trish to Stacy, "I bet it's her way of getting in one last dig before she's done." And she sat back and held Jeremy's hand.

"Then with the power invested in me, I now pronounce you Mr and Mrs Orton, you may now kiss the bride." The priest said with a smile.

Randy and Dani smiled, and they kissed. It was official, they were now married.

The church cheered and the organ played.

As they were walking up the aisle, she squeezed Randy's hand, "I need fresh air." She said softly.

"We're headed towards the doors to greet everyone, I'll have them prop the doors open." Randy replied. "Are you sure you're ok?"

She nodded, she wasn't going to let the pains get the best of her, "I'm fine."

After what seemed like eternity, it was finally time to walk through the crowd as they blew bubbles and climb into the hummer limo and head off to the reception.

They smiled, waved and kissed for the crowd, then climbed in with the wedding party.

Once the doors and windows were shut and they were on their way, Dani looked at Randy, "What the hell was she doing here?"

Randy shook his head, "I have no clue, I never gave her an invitation, I swear."

"She's lucky that not a lot of people understood what she was getting at, or she would have had to deal with me." She said breathlessly.

"Are you sure you're ok?" Randy asked Dani nervously.

"I'm fine, they'll subside as soon as we're sitting down and relaxing."

They arrived at the reception, entered and sat down quickly. Dani could hardly eat the pains were getting so bad. People kept clinking their spoons on the glasses, and Randy and Dani kept kissing.

Finally it was time for the dance. Randy and Dani took the stage and the song "I Cross My Heart," by George Strait played. As they danced, she leaned on him and listened to the beating of his heart. It was soothing. They kissed and swayed to the music. Suddenly, Dani grabbed Randy's hand and her eyes were wide open.

"What, what's the matter?" Randy asked frantically.

"My water just broke." She replied breathlessly. "We've gotta go."
