6 months later
Natalie sat in front of the mirror while Roxy was putting her hair up in an elegant twist. She looked over at Willow who was having her hair done as well. Natalie smiled at her. "Can you believe we will both be married women today?" She asked with a grin.
Willow laughed and gazed at her engagement ring again. Rex had proposed in the Rodi's parking lot after she had been released from the hospital. That had been 6 months ago. He had said he picked out this ring because it reminded him of her eyes. Willow smiled at the thought. Rex was such a romantic. Not that he would admit to that.
"Yeah us married. Its amazing. If someone had told me a year ago that I would be here right now getting married to the most amazing man on earth I would have laughed them out of the state and now look at me." Willow said looking down at her designer original dress.
It was a white halter type dress. It had a fitted bodice and the hugged the waist then flowed into a full but not overflowing skirt that went to the floor. She hadn't wanted a vale or train. Willow wanted it to be very clean, uncluttered by unnecessary fabric. Looking at herself in the mirror she admitted to herself that she did look good. With the small white and pink flowers she had woven in her hair to the beautiful white bridal shoes she looked gorgeous.
Natalie was wearing a white dress as well but that was where the similarities ended. Natalie's dress was off the shoulder revealing her slim neck and shoulders. The bodice was tight showing off her ample breasts but the skirt was streamline, ending at the ankle. While not overly tight it showed off her curves. Natalie was also wearing white shoes but hers had a 2 inch heal and Willow's were only about a ½ inch heal.
"I have to tell you Natalie, I'm a little nervous." Willow said to her.
"Me too," said Natalie to which in typical Roxy fashion said, "What are you girls going on about? Natty you are marrying Johnny Mac who is a hunk of burning love if there ever was one and you Willow are marrying my Rexy. You girls need to learn how to be more appreciating of what you got. Some women never find their soul train and both you found yours."
Willow looked at Natalie confused as Natalie burst out laughing. "That's soul mates, Roxy." She said and Roxy replied, "Whatever You know what I mean."
Vicki and Eve came into the room Just as Roxy finished up with their hair. "Oh you girls look wonderful!" Vicki exclaimed coming over to where Natalie sat. "Is Jess here," Natalie wanted to know, Jessica was Natalie's Maid of Honor.
"Yes, she got here about 5 minutes ago. She will be here in a minute. She is settling Jamie down."
Eve was busy fussing over Willow's dress and hair. "You look so beautiful, Willow. I can't believe how happy I am. My baby girl is getting married!" Eve went on with tears in her eyes. Jessica and Marcie came into the room having a discussion on which groom was more nervous. They stopped and looked at the brides. "You guys look beautiful," Marcie said. Then grinning she said, "Its time for the something old, new, borrowed and blue."
John was adjusting his tie for like the 10th time while Michael was trying not to laugh. The usually unflappable John was shaking he was so nervous. With a muttered, "we should have eloped," John tore off his tie and started again.
Michael, having pity on him, brushed his hands away and tied it for him. "I can't believe your getting married today." Michael said to John. "My big brother and my little sister getting married." He said shaking his head.
"Well, if you would ever ask Marcie to marry you it would be you too Mike." John said with a grin. Michael had been wanting to ask Marcie to marry him for a month but he hadn't gotten up the courage to ask her yet.
"I know, I know. But today it about you and Natalie." Michael said looking around. "Where is Rex?" Michael asked not seeing him.
"He's in the other room pacing. I don't think I have seen Rex so excited," John said to his brother. Rex had been driving John crazy with his restlessness so Rex had gone in the other room with RJ. John was extremely surprised that Willow had asked RJ to give her away. John didn't like RJ at all but Willow insisted that he was a good guy. RJ, surprising the whole town, dropped the custody suit and began treating Willow like a daughter. Some sort of bond had happened between them after RJ had donated his blood to her. John was wary of their relationship but didn't interfere.
Lost in thought John almost missed the cue to go out to the front of the church. It was time, he thought with a smile. All the nervousness he had been feeling melted away as he and Rex stood in front of the minister waiting for their brides. Antonio and Michael stood to the left of John. Antonio was Rex's best man and Michael was John's. All thought ceased as the music began.
Rex watched as Isis, the flower girl, delicately began spreading flowers up the isle. She was so adorable. He didn't think he could love the little girl more if she was his own. He and Willow were going to adopt her today. He would be Daddy to her then. As he watched Isis made her way to the right of the room followed by Vicki, Eve, Roxy, Jessica, and finally Marcie. When all the women made their way to their appropriate places the wedding march began.
John stared to the back of the church when the wedding march began. Natalie appeared in the doorway with Bo on her arm. John caught his breath. She was gorgeous! He thought in awe of her beauty.
Rex was holding his breath as his sister stepped to the side with Bo so that Willow could enter. When she stepped into view Rex was blown away. He had never seen such a beautiful sight. With RJ on her arm she and Natalie began their way up to the alter as the whole congregation murmured at how beautiful they were.
For John and Rex it was if time stopped and suddenly they were being told to kiss their brides. Which they did, very thoroughly, to the amusement of the crowd. For the two couples life was perfect. For now.
The End.
