February 14, 2006 (Valentine's Day)
The next day, when the sun was getting ready to rise, Amy tossed and turned in her bed, groaning with impatience. Last night was truly a wild one but she had a little too much fun at the party. Nonetheless, she got what she wanted and the rest was history.
She turned over and looked at the time. 8:00 a.m. She was definitely not a morning person but she didn't have time to worry about that nor complain about her early morning bitchiness. A smile crept up on her face when she jumped up and started bouncing around on the bed. Today is the day she's been dreaming about since she was a little girl; the day she's been dreaming about forever.
She was finally getting married!
Jumping up and down on the bed, her heart beamed with happiness. She tried so hard not to make any noise but she was so excited. Today, she's about to become Mrs. Hunter Hearst Helmsley and nothing's gonna change that.
"You're up so early," Trish said with a smile when she walked in.
Amy stopped jumping and plopped down on the mattress. She gestured her best friend to sit down next to her.
"I'm so happy, girl. I'm getting married today!" Amy exclaimed with a giggle.
"I'm so happy for you, girlfriend. You deserve to be happy with the man you love. Hunter's good for you and you're good for him. You two would make a great couple," Trish said as she took her in her arms.
"Did you sleep well?" Amy asked.
Trish nodded her head. "I had a dream about me and Andrew."
Amy looked up at her with a knowing look on her face. "I hope it's not another one of your sexual fantasies, girl."
"No!" Trish exclaimed with a laugh. "I dreamt about us and our kids. How happy we are as a family. Once you and Hunter are married, you're gonna have the same dreams, too."
Amy sighed deeply. "I hope so. I mean, look at me. I'm already pregnant with his baby."
"Makes no difference. You're getting married. So what if you're already starting a family with him. You love him and he loves you. Just be happy with him," Trish said with a smile.
"You're right, baby girl," Amy replied with a grin.
"Baby girl. You haven't called me that since high school. Damn, it's been so long," Trish beamed.
"I know. But, I'm happy you're here with me. I'm happy the others are here with me, too. I'm just so damn happy," Amy said. Tears were falling from her eyes.
Just then, the phone rang, causing Amy and Trish to jump up and laugh.
"It's probably Hunter," Amy said while she wiped her tears away with her fingers.
"I'll leave you alone. I'll be downstairs cooking breakfast with the others," Trish said before she kissed her cheek and left the room, closing the door behind her.
Amy picked up the phone. "Hello?"
"Hey, baby. How did you sleep?" Hunter said on the other line. He was staying at a friend's house.
"Pretty good, even though I had a little too much fun at the party. I was thinking about you, though," Amy said with a giggle.
"I was thinking about you, too. I can't wait to make you my wife," he said.
"I can't wait to make you my husband. I can't wait to see you at the alter," Amy said.
"I gotta go. My friends are making breakfast and then we're going to get pampered. I'll see you soon," he said.
"I love you, Hunter," she said with a smile.
"I love you, too. I'll see you later," were the last words he said before he hung up the phone.
Amy allowed the ring tone to rattle her ear for a moment before she hung up and got up off the bed. She went over and grabbed her wedding dress off the chair and held it up against her body. She twirled around and hummed softly as the sun broke through the window of her bedroom.
Today's gonna be a beautiful day, Amy thought with a bright smile on her face.

"God, Ames. You look so beautiful," Lisa said with tears falling from her eyes.
"She's right, girl. You look like an angel," Gail said with a smile.
"More like a princess," Stacy said.
Amy smiled at her best friends. She looked in the mirror and smiled brightly at her appearance. Her wedding dress turned out to be exactly what she wanted to be. Her long veil covered her face. The train of her dress was four feet long. The top of the dress was lacy and low cut, leaving a little cleavage and more skin.
"Are you nervous?" Torrie asked.
"A little bit. But, I'm so happy of how things turned out. I can't wait to be married," Amy said with a smile.
All six ladies hugged each other and cried. Today has been a joyous day for them all.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Amy's father, Mike Dumas walked in with his wife Christie trailing close behind.
"What's going on, Daddy?" Amy asked with a smile on her face.
Mike sighed deeply. "Ames, your brother's here. He wants to talk to you."
"Billy's here? He wants to see me?" Amy was shocked.
"Yes, honey. He realized he couldn't go another day without seeing you before you get married today. Will you let him in?" Mike asked.
Amy nodded her head, which left the other ladies to leave. Billy came in not too long after while Amy turned to face her younger brother.
"You look beautiful, big sis," he said softly.
"Thank you," she whispered.
"Listen, uh, I came here to tell you that I'm sorry," Billy revealed.
Amy was shocked he said that. Billy Dumas was sorry? How did that came about.
"You're sorry? What made you decided to apologize?" Amy asked. She still was in complete utter shock
"Mom and Dad knocked some sense into me. I realized that you didn't do anything wrong to me but I was bitter at you because you never gave them any problems. I hated you for something you didn't do to me; I resented you because you turned out better than me and I was so upset. I went to see a counselor and we were able to work some problems I had to deal with. Ames, I'm so sorry for all the hell I put you through. You were trying to be my big sister but I shut you out of my life. Can you find it in your heart to forgive me?" Billy said. He was crying.
Amy couldn't help it. She reached over and hugged her brother tightly. She was crying as well.
"I forgive you, Billy. I forgive you," Amy cried.

The wedding march began as everyone watched the bridesmaids and the groomsmen walked down the aisle, hand in hand. Hunter surprised the women in Amy's life by having their husbands involved with the wedding.
First up was Trish and Andrew, looking at each other with love in their eyes. Trish's growing belly made her presence larger that life (no pun intended).
Next up, Torrie and her husband Peter walked down the aisle with smiles on their faces. After having Audrey, Torrie looked more radiant.
Gail and Randy were next. News about their engagement spread like butter. Everyone was so happy for them. Their planning on getting married within the next month.
Lisa and Dave walked down with knowing grins on their faces. When he came to see her last night, they wasted no time making up for lost time.
Finally, Stacy and Rob walked down the aisle, holding hands like they were two teenagers in love with each other.
Once the couples took their place at the alter, the pianist began playing 'Here Comes The Bride', causing everyone to stand up once again. Amy walked down the aisle, arm in arm with her beaming father. Her mother was behind her, making sure her train didn't get dirty.
Hunter was already up at the ramp, crying with joy. He couldn't believe the beautiful redhead marching up to him was gonna be his bride. He looked over and saw his parents winking him, telling him that they loved him so much.
When Amy reached the alter, her father lifted the veil away from her face and kissed her cheek.
"I love you, little one," Mike said with a smile.
"I love you, too, Daddy," Amy replied with tears falling from her brown eyes. Thank God she didn't apply any mascara over her eyelashes.
"Who gives this beautiful bride away?" the minster asked.
"Her mother and I do," Mike said before he placed his daughter's hand into Hunter's. Then he took a seat next to Christie and held her hand.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, we are gathered here today to witness the union of Amy Christine Dumas and Hunter Hearst Helmsley. If there's anyone who feels why these two should not join in hold matrimony, speak now or forever hold your peace."
When no one said a word, Amy breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hunter and Amy. I understand you have written down your own vows. You may now speak," the minister said.
Amy turned and handed her bouquet of flowers over to Trish. Then, she turned back around and smiled when Hunter took her hands into his.
"Hunter, I've been in love with you since forever. You're the only person who gave me so much joy in my life. And, because of the joy you presented me with, we're gonna have a beautiful baby in our lives. You have shown me nothing but love and respect. You have shown me the true meaning of love. And I'm gonna continue to love and cherish you even after my dying day. I love you so much," Amy recited with more tears falling from her eyes.
Hunter was speechless. He couldn't believe she had written her vows down with so much compassion in her heart. He squeezed her hands and smiled.
"Ames, I love you with all my heart and soul. Every day, I feel so blessed to have you in my life. I'm not gonna just take you as my wife. I'm taking you as my lover, my best friend, my soul mate and as the mother of my child. I want to spend forever with you. I want to grow old with you. I want to see our kids running up and down our home. I love you, Ames, and I want you to love me all the same," he said with a grin.
"Do you have the rings?" the minister asked.
Andrew reached in his pocket and pulled out two wedding rings. Then, he handed them over to Hunter, who then handed them over to the minister.
"Hunter, do you take this woman as your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer until death do you part?"
"I do," he said.
"Then repeat after me. With this ring, I thee wed."
"With this ring, I thee wed." he then placed the ring on her ring finger.
"Amy, do you take this man as your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer until death do you part?"
"I do," she said through her tears.
"Then repeat after me. With this ring, I thee wed."
"With this ring, I thee wed." she then placed the ring on his middle finger, then she leaned down and kissed it gently.
"By the power vested in me, in the state of California, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss your bride," the minister said with a smile on his face.
More tears fell from Amy's eyes when Hunter took her in his arms, leaned over and kissed her passionately. The room was erupted with wild cheers as the saw the happy couple embrace passionately.
"I now present to you, Mr. And Mrs. Hunter Hearst Helmsley," the minister announced.
Walking down the aisle, the newlyweds looked at each other lovingly. The rest of the wedding party followed them close behind.
Once they got outside to the awaiting limo, Hunter scooped her up in her arms and twirled her around, tears falling from his eyes. Amy wrapped her arms around his neck and squealed like she was a little girl.
"I love you, Mrs. Helmsley," he said as he sat her down on the ground.
With tears falling from her eyes and with a huge smile on her face, she looked up at the man she loved more than anything in the world.
"I love you, too, Mr. Helmsley."

Minutes later, at the wedding reception...
Guests arrived at Melina's hotel downtown for the reception. She went all out on this one. The ballroom was decorated with red, white and pink streamers and balloons. The table was set with pink tablecloth, the finest chinaware in the world and scattered rose petals all over the table.
She even had the caters whip up a buffet for the guests who want to have something in their stomachs. On the table was a long line of chicken, steak, mashed potatoes and gravy, broccoli, cauliflower, steamed carrots and tenderloins. At the end of the table was a huge wedding cake, along with cookies, brownies and little cute cupcakes with white and pink frosting on top.
The DJ was playing some music of the eighties, which was good for some people. The five ladies walked inside with their men on their arms.
"Beautiful wedding, wasn't it?" Gail said with a grin.
Randy leaned down and kissed her lightly. "I'll say. I really enjoyed the vows they wrote."
"Are we gonna have our own vows when we get married?" Gail asked.
"Of course, baby. I want everyone to know how much I love you!" Randy exclaimed with that cocky grin of his.
"I'm glad," she replied with a smile on her face.
He led her on the dance floor where the rest of the party was and danced to the soft sounds of Spandau Ballet. The DJ stopped the music, however, when Hunter and Amy walked in, holding hands and smiling at each other.
"Well, well, well. We didn't think you two was gonna show up," Torrie said with a giggle.
Amy stuck her tongue out playfully. "Yeah, right. We took the long way."
"I bet you did," Trish said with a laugh.
Amy snorted at them before Melina made her way through the crowd.
"Ames, I'm so glad you made it. Listen, the DJ has been hassling me on you and Hunter taking the first dance together as husband and wife. Can you do this for me, please?" Melina pleaded.
Hunter shrugged his shoulders before he grabbed her by the hand and led her on the dance floor, just as the DJ starting playing a slow song. He took her in his arms and held her close to him as they swayed to the music.
"This is heaven," Amy beamed as she laid her head against his shoulder.
He kissed her forehead gently. "I know what you mean. Our dreams came true."
"Trish and I talked earlier today and she told me she had a dream about her, Andrew and their kids. She told me how much they were happy together. She said that once we got married, I'm gonna be having those same dreams, too," she said with a smile.
He laughed. "Well, I hope you do. We're having a baby together. We're married now. I want to have those same dreams, too."
She leaned over and kissed him sweetly just as the DJ stopped playing the song they were dancing to. Amy groaned with impatience while Hunter just held her.
"Ames, I'm so sorry that I had to cut your dancing short but I just had to say something," Trish revealed with a giggle.
Amy stuck her tongue out.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I want to propose a toast to Amy and Hunter. You know, when we were 13 years old, all six of us ladies sat around in Amy's bedroom, bragging about who's gonna get married. Then, one year later, we all ended up with the men of our dreams. Now look at us. We're all happy with the men of our lives. Amy, I see you with Hunter and I see how happy you are with him. I just wanna say, on the behalf of myself, Torrie, Stacy, Lisa, and Gail, we wish you all the best in the world. To Hunter and Amy," Trish said while she raised her glass of water up to them.
The newlyweds kissed again while the crowd cheered for them.
Well, that's in the books. I hope you love the wedding, adamamy425. I dedicated this chapter to you!
Final chapter coming up! I'm also considering doing a sequel to this story, this time the ladies reunite for their high school reunion!
Please review!
