Chapter 20 "Just Another Beautiful Moment"

"Your father and I talked and we've decided…" Barb started

"Out with it!" Pim shouted from the living room. "What? I couldn't help but hear. Half the block did." Pim shrugged.

"Anyway… We've decided to stay." Barb said. Phil pulled Keely into a tight hug. She buried her face in his neck. She started crying.

"Keely what's wrong? I can stay!" Phil whispered into her ear.

"I'm not crying because I'm sad… I'm crying because I'm happy." Keely explained. Phil kissed her cheek and hugged her tighter.

"But, You can't get married until you graduate high school. I want a better life for you two than me and your mother." Lloyd added.

"Don't worry dad, everything will be okay. I promise." Phil said as he pulled Keely through the living room and out the door.

"Where are we going?" Keely asked as Phil opened the door for her.

"You'll see." Phil says. He drove to the park where they had the picnic two days after Keely's birthday the year before. The sun was setting and the sky was pink, the perfect time for a romantic picnic by candlelight.

"Phil… this is beautiful." Keely said sitting down by a white candle.

"Well it's kind of a 'Yay we're gonna get married' kinda thing I guess… I dunno." Phil stammered.

"Phil… it's beautiful. But how?" Keely asked tiring to figure out how he did it.

"I had Owen set it up. He owed me big for me letting him copy answer's off of Hackett's last worksheet." Phil said. Keely laughed and nodded. She couldn't believe Phil could arrange something so beautiful.

"This is how I want or wedding to be like." Keely stated out of the blue.

"No problem." Phil said. He raised a glass of non-alcoholic whine and Keely did the same.

"To us!" Phil yelled quietly.

"To us." Keely whispered taking a quick sip. "I like the sound of that." Keely said after she had swallowed. Phil smiled and kissed her gently. Keely was amazed by Phil. He could make a beautiful moment extraordinary.

"I can't believe this!" Keely screamed. Today was the day Keely was getting married to Phil. Keely had finished out her senior year and Miss Pickford, Prom Queen, Best couple with Phil and had a scholarship in journalism to NYU. Phil had been Keely's escort to the tree lighting ceremony, Prom King and Best couple with Keely. He also had a scholarship to NYU to go into none other than broadcast journalism… but he would be the co-anchor dude. Keely would always have that spotlight. Phil was waiting in the vineyard for Keely to walk down the isle. He hadn't seen her all day and he knew she would look beautiful. Owen stood behind Phil as his best man, followed by Lil' Danny and Seth. The bride maids began to walk down the isle and Phil began to get a bit nervous. Surprisingly, Pim was the first one out, followed by Via, then Tia, and Mandy. Tia had flown all the way from New York to be at Keely's wedding. They all looked so beautiful, even Pim. Phil wondered where Curtis was. He was supposed to be here. Phil figured he had gotten side tracked by catching a fish… or the neighbor's cat. After all the brides maids made their way to the front, everyone stood up and turned to face the back, waiting for Keely.

"Keely, are you ready?" Lloyd said. He was going to escort her down the isle. Keely had never known her father and Lloyd had treated her like she was his daughter so she asked him to walk her down.

"Yea… thank you Mr. Diffy."

"We're family now, call me Lloyd." Lloyd said with a smile. He offered Keely his arm. Keely smiled and slipped her arm into his and walked down the isle. All she could focus on was Phil. Not her dress, not the people crying for her, not how beautiful Pim looked, just Phil. Phil smiled when he saw her eyes lock onto him. Keely was relieved to see one of his classic Phil smile that told her everything would be alright. When Keely got to the end of her journey Lloyd lifted her veil and kissed her on the cheek before sitting next to Barb… who was crying uncontrollably. Keely stood next to Phil lacing her fingers into his squeezing his hand gently.

"You may now kiss the bride." The minister yelled. Phil smiled grabbed Keely and dipped down and kissed her. When Phil broke away everyone was cheering and clapping. Keely and Phil laughed as he led her down the isle followed by everyone else. They hurried into the limo and it drove to the Pickford Country Club were the reception was being held. Phil and Keely danced and talked until the reception ended. The managed not to get any cake splattered on them, or have any incidents minus Pim and Lil' Danny making out in a broom closet. Finally Phil and Keely rode off on the skyak to their honey money get away in the Bahamas. Keely had gotten her dream wedding and her dream husband, along with a dram college that would follow up with her dream career. She had finally made her dreams a reality. Nothing could be better. Phil landed the skyak a black away from their rented beach house and lead Keely inside, princess style. They both had their happily ever after.

The end!

I know I know I skipped a year and a half but I have many, many, many ideas for the sequel so don't think this story is over… But incase you were wondering:

I thought the vineyard would be the perfect place for a wedding I'm not trying to steal alienangel19852003's idea I promise.

It was the same time at the wedding as it was at the picnic

I seriously couldn't think of what the Maid of Honor was at the time I wrote this. Do hurt me! lol.

Keely and Pim have gotten REALLY close since they found out they could stay.

Hope you like the last twenty chapters!
