Chapter 19
Tammy
I muttered as I straightened my dress, I was wearing a baby pink dress, it was floor length and it was a halter neck style, while looking in the mirror.
Liz was annoyed with Isabel, Tess and Maria arguing over their dresses so she gave them the colour that she picked out and told them to get it designed the way they wanted it, I was quite happy to stick with the halter neck style.
I guess you are wondering what day it is? Well, welcome to the wedding of Liz Parker and Max Evans, that's right, they are finally getting married and I swear, if someone tried to stuff it up, I'm stomping on them with my high heels, when I get some, and that is a promise.
I looked in the mirror and smirked at the sight of Liz pacing nervously and I rolled my eyes.
"Will you quit being nervous?" I told her and she turned to me with a smile, I smiled, I knew that Max was going to fall over his feet when he saw her, she was looking amazing in her floor length white dress, it was a simple dress with the straps hanging on her shoulders, her hair was curled and some of them were pinned back with flowers, she had on her necklace that Max had given her and I noticed that she kept fiddling around with her engagement and promise ring. "Max isn't going to run, if he is running, the only place he'll be running is up the aisle." I told her and she laughed as she walked over to me, we were both bare feet, as Liz was getting married near the ocean on the beach, there was no need to have high heels.
I turned to her and titled my head slightly. "Why are you so nervous?" I asked, "You have been waiting for this moment all your life." I told her and she sighed.
"I don't know, I guess that everything is so perfect, I just can't help but feel that something is going to go wrong." She told me and I smiled.
"Nothing is going to go wrong, I told Michael, Kyle, Alex and Jake that if they got Max completely drunk and chained him to a lamppost somewhere, they were going to be sleeping on the couch for the rest of their life and to start thinking about getting a new girlfriend cause we weren't gonna be putting out for them." I told her and she looked at me and I shrugged. "You should have heard them, started whining like I threatened to cut their balls off." I stated, shaking my head and she laughed. "And the flowers have arrived, everyone is here and waiting at their seats, the minister had shown up on time, the rest of the girls are ready and the boys are ready too. All we need is the bride to walk down the aisle and get you and Max married." I stated and she smiled as she hugged me.
"Thanks." She told me and I pulled away from her and looked at her puzzled.
"For making sure that everything and everyone is here?" I asked and she laughed.
"No, for being there for me during my whole secret and for not telling anyone when I practically blackmailed you, for getting Max and I together, for saving me from you know who and for being there for me through everything." She told me with tears in her eyes, I laughed as I felt my eyes watered.
"Come on, we can't start crying now otherwise Isabel would kill us for ruining our face." I told her and she laughed as she wiped her tears away, we didn't have any make up on, as there was no point. "Beside, you would have done the same for me." I told her ands she nodded.
"Thanks." She said and I shrugged.
"I'm gonna check on the boys, make sure they are still in one piece." I told her with a grin before winking and leaving the room, leaving her to her thoughts.
I made my way into the other room and saw Max pacing while the guys were lounging about. "Oh not you as well." I told him and he looked at me.
"What?" he asked and I arched my eyebrow at him.
"Don't you 'What' me, are you thinking that something is going to go wrong?" I asked and he laughed slightly.
"Okay, you got me, but can you blame me?" he asked and I shook my head.
"Nope but I'm gonna say the same thing I told Liz, nothing is going to go wrong, Martin is in jail and can't come anywhere near you, dad made sure of that, the minister is here and all we need is you to stand at the aisle and Liz to walk up it and get you married off so you can have your honeymoon and so I can get back home to my bed, god, I never thought I see the day I miss Roswell." I muttered and he laughed as he hugged me.
"You look great little sis." He told me and I smiled up at him.
"Of course I do," I told him and he smiled. "You look great yourself big bro." I told him before turning to the rest of the rest. "Come on you four, get a move on." I told them and they, grudgingly, got up and exited to the room. "See you outside." I told Max with a wink before leaving the room and shutting the door, leaving him to his thoughts.
Max
I was finally going to get married, a little shocking while we are at it though but I'm getting married…today…to Liz Parker, the only girl I ever loved.
I sat down and looked into the mirror and smile in delight, I couldn't believe that I was finally going to marry Liz Parker, the girl of my dream but it was finally happening, I was going to marry Liz and nothing was going to stop us now.
After everything we've been through, it was worth it, I got the girl of my dreams in the end and we were both happy and in love.
There was a knock at the door and I looked up to see my dad standing there with a proud smile.
"You ready?" he asked, I stood up and looked in the mirror once more before smiling at him.
"Been waiting for this moment all of my life." I told him and he smiled as he opened the door wider and I stepped out and we both headed out to the beach where we were going to get to married.
My mother walked down the path and winked as she moved over to sit next to Amy Deluca, yes, she made it as well, a long with Jim, Ed and Sarah Harding, Hank and Mary Gurien, Mark and Janet Johnson, Gloria and Charles Whitman, a few of our family who managed to make it to see our wedding.
The music started up and I looked up to see Maria, Isabel and Tess heading down, Maria was wearing a baby pink dress that had no straps, Isabel had the straps hanging slightly over her shoulders. Tess had the straps crisscrossing over her back, they all smiled as they held on to the baby pink roses, Isabel had red roses, and stood on the other side of me, Tammy walked down, she winked at me and I couldn't help but admire my little sister, her dark hair was pinned up, she wore the baby pink halter dress and she had the light purples roses in her hands before standing next to Jake.
Soon another music started up and I looked eagerly to see my future wife walking toward me.
#Oooooh - oh oh
Oh yeah
Do do do do do do do
Lovin' you is not just luck or illusion
It's in the makeup of our D-N-A
It's not by chance we make the perfect solution
Don't fight it baby - you know that it's just destiny's way#
I watched as she walked down the aisle, she looked gorgeous in her dress; her hands were, nervously, holding the white roses as she smiled nervously at me as she made her way to me, she reached me and I lifted my hand, she slipped her small hand into mine and we both stood in front of the minister, ready to say our vows.
"We're here today to watch these people join in holy matrimony, Max Evans and Liz Parker decided that they will do their own vows today. Max?" he stated as he looked at me and I took a deep breath and faced Liz.
#Baby lovin' you
Comes easily to me
It's what I'm living for
It's all in the chemistry
Baby lovin' you
Is how it's meant to be
It's something' that is oh-so-natural to me
Natural
We've got the answers - but there's no explanation (no explanation)
We got each other baby - come what may (come what may)
It's in the science - it's genetically proven (genetically proven)
Cause when you touch me the reaction it just blows me away#
"The first moment I met you, I knew that my life was going to change for the good." I told her. "I was confused when I first met you, there was something about you that set me in a twirl, I had no idea what I was feeling and it wasn't till later I realised that I had fallen hopelessly in love with you and wanted to spend the rest of my life with you, even though you joined up with my sister and annoyed the life out of me,' she let out a small laugh while Tammy rolled her eyes, 'I still loved you and I promise to love you from this moment onward, no matter what." I told her and she smiled up at me.
"Now, it's the bride's turn." The minister told her and she looked back up at me once more and opened her mouth to speak.

Liz
When Tammy left the room, I looked into the mirror and smiled at the sight. I was getting married to Max Evans, the only guy that I had ever loved. I was still having a hard time believing it, all I could think about was the last time we were due to get married, I was kidnapped but it wasn't going to happen this time, we were finally going to get married and I couldn't wait.
There was a knock at the door and I turned to see Diane looking in, she smiled when she caught sight of me.
"Are you ready?" she asked, I looked in the mirror once more and smiled as I turned back to her.
"I've been waiting for this my whole life." I told her as I moved toward the door, she smiled as she stepped back and let me through and we both walked over to where the girls were waiting.
"Okay, let's go and get you married." Tammy stated with a wink and I laughed as the music started off, Maria, Isabel and Tess started off first, Tammy turned to me and smiled before handing me something, I took it and opened my hand to see the silver locket that my Grandma Claudia had left me before she died, I had lost it.
"Where did you find this?" I asked and she smiled.
"It found me." She told me, cryptically, before winking and setting off to do her walk, I smiled as pulled the locket on and I could feel my grandma surrounding me.
"Follow your heart honeybear, it will always lead you to Max." I heard her whisper in my ear and I set off to walk down to Max as the music changed.
When I first got my look at Max, I felt my breath get caught, he looked amazing in his tux, his shirt was unbuttoned and he was bared foot, just like the others, I smiled as I reached him, he lifted his hand and I took his hand, ready to face my future with him at my side.

"When I first met you, you were so different from all the other boys, yes you protected me whenever you had the chance but you also let me walk my own path, you were there for me whenever I needed you and I loved you for that. As I got older, I fell more and more in love with you, that was the moment when I realised that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you, I love you and I promise to do so, no matter what, forever." I finished; I could see Tammy smiling while Tess, Maria, Isabel and mom wipe their tears and the boys shaking their heads at them.
"Max, please take the ring and repeat after me." The minister told him, Max took the ring from Michael and placed it on the tip of my wedding ring finger. "I, Maxwell Alexander Evans, take thee, Elizabeth Claudia Parker, to be my lawfully wedded wife." He informed and Max repeated it, not once looking from my eyes. "To have and to hold, to honour and cherish for as long as I may live."
#Turn off the light - lay your head next to mine (next to mine)
Take it slowly - a step at a time (step at a time)
C'mon get close - closer to me (closer to me)
It's all so natural - it's all so easy to see#
Max repeated it and slid the ring all the way onto my fingers, the Minster turned to me. "Liz, please take the ring and repeat after me." The minister told me and I took the ring from Tammy before placing it on the tip of Max's wedding ring finger. "I, Elizabeth Claudia Parker, take thee, Maxwell Alexander Evans, to be my lawfully wedded husband." I repeated it, not once looking away from Max. "To have and to hold, to honour and cherish for as long as I may live."
I repeated it and slid the ring all the way onto his finger, the minister looked with a bright smile. "I now announce that Maxwell Alexander Evans and Elizabeth Claudia Parker are now joined in Holy matrimony,' he looked down at Max. 'You may kiss the bride." He told him and Max smiled at me before leaning into kiss me, I wrapped my arms around his neck, revelling in the fact that I was sharing my first kiss with Max as his wife.

I waited to feel the rice falling on us when we pulled away, we saw bubbles floating in the air and I laughed as I looked at them blowing bubbles from the wand.
"Bubbles?" I asked and Tammy shrugged.
"I couldn't find any rice." She muttered and I laughed as I hugged her. "Welcome to the family, legally this time." She whispered.
"Thanks for everything Tammy." I whispered back before pulling away to look at her in the eyes. "Especially for coming into my life and saving me from Doug." I told her and she laughed as she hugged me back.
"Ditto for me." She whispered and I pulled away and hugged everyone else before turning back to my husband, I couldn't help the bright smile that followed by that thought and he took my hand. "Okay, time to get you off to your honeymoon and us lot to get back to Roswell." Tammy stated as she ushered us all over to the car.
"Our suitcases…" mom started.
"Taken care of." Tammy told her as we all made our way into the Limo. "Airport please." Tammy stated.
"No Problem Miss Evans." He driver stated with a salute and we all looked at Tammy in confusion, wondering what she has done.
Max
We all arrived at the airport and followed Tammy as we made our way through the building, I could see everyone looking at us, shaking their heads in amusement at our outfits and had to suppress the grin that was threatening to erupt on to my face, no wonder, I bet it wasn't exactly an a normal occurrence to see people rushing while in their wedding outfits.We came to a stop and Tammy turned to Liz and I and handed us a set of tickets.
"Tammy?" I asked and she smirked.
"Open it." She told me, and Liz opened her tickets before squealing and jumping into Tammy's arms and hugging her tightly, I was confused and curious that I opened my tickets only to laugh.
"Disney Land?" I asked and she smirked.
"I knew that you and Liz had always wanted to go to Disney Land since you were kids so I decided to send you there but that's not all, look at the other ticket." She told me and I lifted the top ticket to look at the bottom ticket and my eyes widen and mouth opened in shock.
"HAWAII!" Liz squealed.
"Yep, you will go to Disney Land for a week then head over to Hawaii for a week." Tammy informed us and smiled. "Everything is booked, so all you need to do is board the plane and enjoy your honeymoon." Tammy told us.
Liz, promptly, burst into tears, startling everyone while Tammy laughed and hugged Liz.
"You are the best friend ever." Liz sobbed and Tammy smiled as she pulled away and wiped Liz's tears.
"You deserve this." Tammy whispered before hugging her once more before turning to me and I enveloped her in a bear hug.
"You're the best sister ever." I whispered and she laughed.
"And you're the best brother ever." She told me before kissing me on the cheek and pulling away, she pushed Liz, slightly, into my arms and pushed us in the direction. "Have fun." She stated with a wink and we both laughed as we linked hands and headed over to the boarding section, we were finally going on our honeymoon.
