There are places I remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more

In my life I love you more

Lennon / Mc Cartney

Central Perk was decked out with lilies and candles. At the doorway, a trellis stood. This was decided because it is where the bride and the groom shared their first kiss. Gunther was wearing a suit and tie, but he had a tissue for the big moment.

Phoebe sat down with her guitar and began to slowly strum. She finally decided and began to play "With or Without You." In the back room , Rachel stood in her gown looking resplendent. Monica stood with tears in her eyes. Chandler came in the door.

"Well are you ready?" he smiled.

"As ready as I'll ever be." She said. "Thank you so much for giving me away." She wrapped her arms around him. "I love you brother in law." She said with tears in her voice.

At the makeshift altar, Joey stood with Ross as the music played. His reverie was interrupted when Carol and Susan showed up with Ben. "Happy wedding day Ross." Carol said as she kissed him on the cheek. Susan gave him a hug. "So is this going to be the last one?" Ross couldn't resist. "I thought Carol was going to be the last one." He commented. "Guys enough." Carol said as she held Ross and Susan apart. Ben came up and gave his father a hug. "Carol and Susan , I am glad you came. I am a little nervous." He admitted. "I also wanted to see Ben before I left."

"Well we'll sit down . See you later." Said Carol as the three of them sat down. Phoebe started to play "Wicked Game."next. Monica took the bouquet and handed it to Rachel. She turned to her and then smiled and gave her a hug. "I never in my wildest dreams knew that the boy we used to play house with would be the man I would fall in love with." Monica giggled. "I forgot about that.

Monica picked up her bouquet and then went out to the coffee shop. She walked to the trellis and stood smiling at her brother. At that moment, Phoebe started to play Here Comes The Bride. Emma held her mother's hand as Chandler took her other arm. As she began to walk out from the room, Ross had a look of only love.

Ross held out his hand and Rachel took it. Chandler kissed her as he handed her over to Rachel. Chandler held Emma in his arms as he took his place by Ross.

Joey started. " Dearly beloved , we are gathered here to celebrate the love between two people. A long time ago a young man met a woman who would touch him with her beauty. Circumstances separated the couple, but fate reunited them in this very coffee shop. Theirs grew into a friendship that turned into love that even as people came and went in their life … one thing that remained was the love and respect they had for each other. One night passion took over and the result of that passion was a sweet little girl. When she left, he crossed an ocean to bring back the love of his life. And so with out further interruptions, who gives this woman to be married to this man?' Chandler started to open his mouth.

"I do." Said Leonard as he came into the other door of the coffee shop.

"Daddy?" Rachel said surprised. She wiped the tears from her eyes. "You came."

Leonard stepped forward. "I couldn't let the only daughter that has made a real life for herself get married. Rachel I am so proud of you , you have a career, you have this beautiful little girl, so you must be doing something right. And if this man, is the reason for all that, then maybe I was being too harsh on you. " he said softly. Rachel hugged her daddy. "I love you daddy.' She sobbed.

Ross stood dumbstruck. "Geller. If my daughter loves you then you must be an okay guy. But I am warning you, you do anything to my Rachel, I will be on the first plane to Paris and I will hunt you down and kill you." Leonard said. "I still don't like you. Geller."

"You don't have to worry Dr. Green, I plan on taking care of her from now on." Ross said as he shook his hand.

Next chapter the wedding continues… thanks for all the great reviews as I wrap up this story… more lobster lovin and Ross says goodbye.
