Again Friends still not mine they belong to Bright, Kauffman & Crane.
It was May 5th. The night before the wedding. The Geller household was filled with people who where invited to the event. Ross decided he was going to stay in the apartment for the night & Joey & Chandler were spending the night with him as well so that he wouldn't sneak out & try to go see Rachel who was staying right next door at his parents place with Monica & Phoebe. Emma would spend the night at her grandma Sandra's. Just before bed time Rachel was getting ready for bed & the phone rang in Monica's room.
Monica: Hello
Ross: Hi Mon is Rachel there?
Monica: Ross you know she's here.
Ross: Just making sure she didn't skip out on me (laughing)
Monica: Hang on Ross, (yelling) RACHELLLLLL its Ross.
Rachel comes running down the hall to Monica's bedroom.
Rachel: Hi baby, I miss you.
Ross: I miss you to sweetie. I can't wait to see you tomorrow.
Rachel: I can't wait to marry you tomorrow.
Ross: I wish you were here with me right now.
Rachel: All in good time honey all in good time.
Ross: Ok honey you better get some sleep we got a busy day ahead of us.
Rachel: yeah we sure do, & I hope a every busier night.
Ross: Oh it sure will be a busy night.
Rachel: (blushing) I cant wait Ross.
Ross: I can't either. Just think the next time we make love it will be as husband & wife.
Rachel: I know Ross I know.
Ross: I love you Rachel Green.
Rachel: I love you too Ross Geller.
Ross: Bye baby, I'll see ya tomorrow.
Rachel: (crying a bit) Bye baby.
Ross: Don't cry Rach I will see ya tomorrow.
Rachel: I know Ross but its just since I came back this is the first time we have been apart.
Ross: We can wave goodnight to each other in the window, go to the bathroom & I will see ya.
Rachel: Ok Ross.
Rachel ran to the Geller washroom & opened the bathroom Curtin, Ross was waiting by their kitchen window that faced his parent's house. They both opened the windows & yelled out to each other.
Ross: Rachel honey I love you & I will see you tomorrow.
Rachel: I know you do Ross, I love you to.
Ross: Ok Rachel I don't want to jinx us so you get to bed, get a good nights sleep.
Rachel: Goodnight my love.
Ross: Goodnight Rach.
The next day was CRAZY. The girls were all getting ready; Rachel, Phoebe & Monica were going nuts. Rachel was a basket case, every time Monica would fix her makeup she would start crying & it would have to be done again. Rachel just couldn't believe she was getting married today.
Rachel: Guys I am freaking out here, what if Ross changes his mind, what if when he sees me he decided he doesn't want to marry me.
Phoebe: Rachel listen to yourself, the man went for miles to find you again after your father took you away from him. There is NO way Ross isn't going to marry you.
Monica: yeah really Rachel, Ross has dreamt of this day for years now.
Rachel: So have I guys, I am just really nervous.
Mon & Phoebe: we know honey, we know.
Phoebe: You know Rach you guys are like a married couple now. Hell you already got a kid (laughs)
Rachel: Ha Ha Phoebe. Oh I wonder how the guys are doing over there.
Over at Ross & Rachel's place the guys were all dressed & ready to go.
Joey: So Ross you got big plans for tonight
Ross: Well Joey not that it's any of your business but yeah I got a few things in mind. Someone at work gave me a book called "sex for dummies" & I read a lot of it the other day when Rachel was taking a nap. I want to surprise her tonight.
Chandler: Ross you dog, you go man.
Joey: NICEEEEE.
Ross: It's not meant to be dirty guys it's meant to be very intimate, I want this night to be special. I love Rachel with all my heart & I don't wanna mess it up. I want her to know that I love her for her not because we were stupid teenagers who got caught up in a moment almost 2 years ago. You guys don't realize it yet but when you find that special woman who you know you are going to spend the rest of your life with you do whatever it takes to not let her go. Believer it or not I kinda wish her father was here so I could prove to him how much I love his daughter.
Chandler: Wow man you gonna be ok
Ross: Yeah Chan I just can't wait for her to become my wife.
Joey: Well dude lets get you to the church. And Ross I promise I wont mess up today either.
Ross: Thanks Joe. That means a lot to me.
The guys got to the church about 20 mins before the girls did. Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Judy, Sandra & baby Emma all came in a limo that Sandra had hired for the service. Emma was sitting beside her mom smiling at her.
Rachel: Emma baby mommy & daddy are getting married today.
Emma: Momma, Dada
Rachel: Yes baby Momma & Dada. She hugs her daughter tightly.
Ross was standing up at the alter waiting for the service to start. Joey was in the back looking over what he had to say for the service. Just then the music began first to come down the isle was Phoebe & Mike. Ross started to cry. Next came Monica & Chandler & Monica was carrying Emma in her arms. Ross was really getting emotional at this point. Then the wedding march started. Ross looked up & saw the most beautiful site in the world. Rachel in her wedding dress. He couldn't believe how stunning she looked. It was a good thing he had some tissues in his jacket pocket to wipe his tears. Rachel wasn't doing so well either, her mother had to practically hold her up while walking her down the isle. When Rachel reached Ross he took both of her hands & kissed them lightly.
Joey: Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to join my two best friends in holy matrimony. Ross & Rachel have written their own vows so without any further commotion we will proceed.
Ross: Rachel in all my life I never thought you would go out with me. Then one night at my parent's house my biggest wish came true, you told me you liked me & our life together began. Then something tragic happened I thought I had lost you forever. When I found you again you were pregnant with our beautiful baby daughter. I never thought I could love you more then I do right at this moment. Rachel I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I love you & I am never letting you go again.
Rachel: (crying) Ross from the minute I saw you I knew I loved you, even when everyone else thought you were a geek I thought differentially. I knew you were just shy then when I finally had the courage to tell you I liked you I was overjoyed that you liked me back but as fate tore us apart, a little baby girl brought us back together again. Because Ross as Phoebe would say where're Lobsters. I love you Ross I always have and always will.
Everyone in the church is crying at this point (even Chandler) Ross & Rachel exchange their rings & then as quickly as it began it was over. They were husband & wife.
Joey: Ross do you take Rachel to be your loving wife.
Ross: I DO!
Joey: Rachel do you take Ross to be your loving husband.
Rachel: (winking at Ross) I sure do.
Joey: By the power vested in me by the state of New York & the internet guys I now pronounce you Husband & Wife. Ross you may now kiss your beautiful bride.
Ross lifts Rachel's vale from her face & takes her head in his hands, he kisses her very softly but doesn't let it end for a long time. Joey notices this & speaks up
Joey: Hey guys get a room will ya?
Ross: Oh don't you worry Joe we are we are.
Ross then kisses Rachel again as Joey announces.
Joey: Ladies & Gentlemen my I announce Mr. & Mrs. Ross Geller.
Everyone gets up & claps as Ross & Rachel make their way down the isle. Neither one of them can stop smiling as they are making their way down the isle to the limo that Sandra got for them. As they make their way to the hall for the dinner and dance Rachel just sits in the car laying her head on Ross's chest telling him over & over again how much she loves him. As they enter the hall to take their seats at the head table Chandler once announces the happy newly married couple. The meal was wonderful but now it was time for the dance. They had picked Because you loved me by Celine Dion. Ross guided Rachel to the dance floor as their song began.
Because you loved me
For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy that you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through
Through it all
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith? coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith; you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith? coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You were always there for me
The tender wing that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith? coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me.
The whole time on the dance floor Ross & Rachel just gazed into each others eyes. They were so much in love & everyone knew it.
