She awoke, at first unsure of what this day held for her. It didn't feel like any other day she had ever experienced. Intense anticipation welled up inside of her, and slowly her mind seeped back into reality, remembering that today was the day she had waited for. Today was her wedding day! It was the most surreal moment she had ever encountered; making it almost impossible for her mind to even grasp the arrival of the day and all that it would surely bring with it. Could one ever imagine the joy that was now upon her? Suddenly her mind became fixated on the tasks at hand. She would have to forget her inability to believe the day was actually here and get moving, for whether she believed it or not, the time was now.

She dressed just in time to answer the now knocking door.

"Today's the day! Can you believe it?"

"Not really, but speaking of that, I'm so glad you are here, Andie! I'm freaking out! I have so much to do!" She hated how she always seemed to lose control during stressful events.

"Joey, you forget who you are talking to. I have everything under complete control. Your entire day is planned out for you, so I don't want you to worry about a thing."

"Easier said than done, but thank you none the less. You are a Godsend."

"That's what bridesmaids do, now let's get going! You don't want to be late for your hair appointment. Come on Bessie, let's go!"

"Wait where's Audrey?"

"Joey, don't worry. She's meeting us there."

"Is this not just slightly weird that my bridesmaids consist of my sister and Pacey's two ex-girlfriends?"

"Uh slightly, but let's not dwell on that too long, shall we? Let's go people!"

"Alright, I'm coming!" Joey's sister came running into the room and straight out the door.

"Well, this is it." She was on her way to marrying the man of her dreams.

"Well little brother, the day is finally here."

"Yeah, I know. Can you believe it? I mean I am finally marrying the woman of my dreams. The woman I have waited so long for, so very long for."

"Your patience has paid off. I'm happy for you."

"Thank you, Doug. I'm happy too which is nice to finally say."

"It's nice to finally hear," said Dawson as he strolled into the room, already wearing his tux.

"Hey man, you have no idea how much it means to have you here." They embrace.

"It means a lot to me too, Pacey. You deserve to be happy. And you deserve that happiness with Joey. I wouldn't trust her with anyone else."

"Well, thank you. I promise to take good care of her."

"I know you will. So, are we ready to go here?"

"We're just waiting for Jack and then the time is here my friends. The time is here."

"Joey, you look amazing!" Audrey was staring at her with pride.

"Thank you. I don't know what I would do without you guys."

"You wouldn't be here, that's for sure. I mean if we hadn't of broken up with Pacey…"

"Audrey! Let's not go there. You do look great, Joey."

"I'm so proud of you little sis. I wish mom could be here right now."

"Bessie, don't make me cry! Its bad enough that Dad's not here and I'm forced to walk down the aisle by myself."

"Well, I know he wishes he was here, as well."

"According to my watch, Joey. We should go line up now."

"Okay, this not crying thing is going to be harder than I thought."

She watched her bridesmaids begin walking down the aisle one by one. Soon it would be her turn, and there he would be, waiting for her, the man she would spend the rest of her life with. His love had never wavered, and that gave her faith that it never would.

All eyes turned her way as she slowly began her waltz down the aisle. But they all faded away when her gaze met his. Her eyes began to brim with tears as she saw his own tears begin to fall down his face. Taking hands they eagerly awaited what lied ahead.

The ceremony was a blur of words. She tried so desperately to pay attention but all she could think about was him and how her entire life was about to change. Before she knew it the minister was saying….

"Pacey, you may now kiss your bride."

The crowd cheered as Pacey caressed her face and pulled her into a sweet, emotional kiss.

"Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you for the first time, Mr. and Mrs. Pacey Witter."

The words echoed through her head as they walked hand in hand down the aisle. They both were delirious with joy. It was over. But really, their life had only just begun. When they had left the crowd behind them, Pacey took her in his arms.

"Joey, I love you so much." He kissed her with all the passion that had built up from the anticipation of the day.

"I love you too, Pacey. I am so happy."

"Does this mean I have to stop calling you Potter?"

"Aww, I would miss that."

"Alright, but just remember what your real name is now." He smiled and pulled her into another kiss.

"How could I ever forget."
