Gabriella stood in front of the mirror. In just a few minutes, she was going to get married. After her talk with Troy, Gabriella felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders. They sat down, and planned their dream wedding. Now, Gabriella was in her wedding dress waiting. She had a simple white tube top dress, and equally simple veil. It was simple, but perfect. A knock on the door caused Gabriella to spin around.
"You ready?" Jack Bolton asked as he stuck his head inside the room. Gabriella smiled weakly and nodded.
"Yeah, I'm ready." Jack offered Gabriella his arm. "Why thank you," she said as she took his arm. They began to walk down the hall towards the chapel.
"Well, Ms. Montez, you ready to get married?" Gabriella was all smiles.
"You haven't called me Ms. Montez since I graduated high school, Coach Bolton." Jack patted her hand lightly.
"I wanted to be the last person to be honored to call you 'Ms. Montez'." Jack and Gabriella stopped outside the closed doors to the chapel. "You ready?" Gabriella nodded. "You nervous?"
"Find me a bride that isn't on her wedding day." Jack chuckled. Then, he gave Gabriella a warm hug and a friendly kiss on the cheek.
"Excellent point." As the doors opened, Gabriella took a deep breath. She and Jack began to walk down the aisle towards the altar and Troy.
Gabriella had the time of her life at the reception. She danced with all her guy friends, Jack, and, of course, Troy. Around 8:00, Chad got up on the stage to make a toast.
"I would like to propose a toast," he said. Taylor bit back a laugh; Chad sounded so serious! "I've known Troy since kindergarten and Gabi since ninth grade. I'll be honest, I wasn't too fond of their relationship at first; I thought it would hurt Troy's basketball game. Now, I know better. Gabi is the best thing to happen to Troy, and vice versa. Troy's my best friend, and Gabi's like a sister to me." Chad faced his friends. "You guys' relationship seems like something out of a Disney movie. You basically beat the odds, and stayed together no matter what. I'm glad that I could be a part of such a special day." He raised his glass. "To Troy and Gabriella." Everyone else raised their glasses.
"To Troy and Gabriella," they repeated. Troy reached under the table, and squeezed Gabriella's hand. The party quickly resumed after Chad's surprisingly serious speech.
The reception ended a little after midnight. Troy and Gabriella were tired, but knew that they weren't going to get much sleep that night. When they got up to their hotel room, Troy scooped Gabriella up in his arms after opening the door to their room.
"Glad you went through with this?" he asked. Gabriella snaked her arms around his neck, and kissed his cheek.
"Of course," she replied. Troy carried Gabriella into their room, and kicked the door closed behind them.
The End!
