The ball soared through the air and landed safely in the net. I threw my hands up in the air as everyone screamed. I felt myself being picked up and spun around. I laughed as I looked at Chad.

"You should know better than to make a bet with me." I told him as I held out my hand.

"I know but it felt good to play ball with you again." Chad told me as he engulfed me in a hug.

"Wait, you've played ball with him before?" Troy asked me as I flashed him a grin.

"Yeah. Remember when I used to go to park and be gone for hours?" I asked him as he smiled.

"I remember quite fondly. Did you go to play against Chad?" Troy asked me as I smiled.

"Yeah. Chad and I would spend hours playing one on one. Most of the time he would kick my butt but there were other times that I kicked his butt." I told him as Chad grinned.

"The days she kicked my butt were my off days." Chad told us as everyone started to laugh.

"Whatever you say Chad. Now you can take all of us out to dinner." I told him as he grinned.

June 27, 2009 10:00 am

It's finally our wedding day. I smile at the thought that in 2 hours, I would be Mrs. Troy Bolton. I squealed at the thought.

"Some one is happy. Are you excited?" Taylor asked me as I grinned at her.

"I'm excited and a little bit nervous." I told her as the Sharpay, Liz, Kelsi, my mom, and Amanda all came into the room.

"That's ok for you to be nervous." Mom told me as I looked at her through the mirror.

"I know but I'm too excited to sit still." I told her as my cell phone rang and I looked at the caller I.D.

"Hi you. What are you up to?" I asked Troy as he laughed over the phone.

"I'm sitting at my house. Chad's trying to get me to calm down." Troy told me as I grinned.

"The girls, your mom, and my mom are trying to calm me down too." I told him as there was a knock on the door.

"Troy hold on. There's someone at the door." I told him as my mom opened the door.

She spoke to someone on the other side and then closed the door. I gasped as I saw her holding a dozen of long steam red roses. Tears came to my eyes as she placed the roses on the table by me. I grabbed the card and eagerly tore it open.

Gabi,

It's our wedding day and I'm sitting here trying to imagine my life without you. You are my life, my soul mate, and in a couple of hours, my wife. I love you and can't wait until I see you walk down the isle.

Love,

Troy

"You are too sweet. I love you too." I told him as I tried to stop the tears from coming down my face.

"Gabi, are you all right? What did I do?" Troy asked me, the innocence in his voice.

"I got your present and they are beautiful. Thank you." I told him as he started to chuckle.

"You're a most welcome and I'm glad you liked them. I didn't mean to make you cry." Troy told me as I smiled.

"The card made me cry, not the roses." I told him as he laughed and as I smiled.

"Oh ok. What are you going to do today before the ceremony?" Troy asked me as I looked at the girls.

"I don't know actually. What about you and the guys?" I asked him as he spoke to someone.

"I think we're going to play basketball and then come back and change for the ceremony." Troy told me as I grinned.

"Ok. Have fun and don't kill them too bad. I love you, Troy." I told him as the girls grinned.

"I love you too. Have fun with the girls." Troy told me as we both hung up.

"Look at that grin on her face, girls." Amanda told me as I tried to stop from smiling but I couldn't.

"It was your son and the roses are from him. Did you guys see the card that came with the roses?" I asked them as I handed them the card.

The card was passed from person to person. Each time someone finished reading it, there was a collective aww from the crowd.

"You raised a great son, Amanda. I'm glad he's marrying Gabi." Mom told Amanda as the mom's had a mom moment.

"I'm just glad he found his true love. He found that in Gabi." Amanda told her as they both laughed.

"If you guys make me cry, I'm kicking both of you out." I told them as Kelsi changed the subject.

"Hey Gabi, you never told us who is walking you down the isle." Kelsi asked me as I smiled.

"I guess I can let the secret out. But none of the guys know and I want to keep it that way." I told them as each girl nodded her head.

"All right. I asked Jack to walk me down the isle." I told the girls as they all grinned.

"How did you manage not to let us know?" Sharpay asked me as I grinned.

"I took him aside one day and asked him. After some tears from both us, he agreed. I haven't told Troy yet because I wanted to surprise him." I told them as they grinned.

"You've gotten good with your future in-laws." Liz told me as I grinned at Amanda.

"Yeah I have. But they're great and Troy's wormed his way into my mom's heart too." I told them as my mom and Amanda grinned.

"You've wormed your way into our hearts too, Gabi." Amanda told me as I gave her a hug.

"You're going to make me cry, Amanda." I told her as I smiled and as the girls grinned.

"I'm not trying to, I promise. We want a happy bride, not a crying one." Amanda told me as I smiled.

"I am a happy bride." I told her as everyone in the room laughed at that statement. I stood up and grabbed a single rose from the bouquet and placed it in the bouquet I would carry down the aisle.

"What are you doing, Gabi?" Amanda asked me as I gave her a smile.

"I'm taking a little bit of Troy and carrying it down the aisle with me." I told them as I picked up the bouquet.

"Remember what else a red rose symbolizes, Gabi." Mom told me as I smiled.

"What does it symbolize?" Taylor asked me as I grinned at her.

"My dad always loved roses so he made me promise him that when I got married, I would stick a lone rose in a different color in my bouquet. So he would be with me on the day I married my sweetheart." I told them as I thought back to the day I promised my dad that.

"That's cute. Now let's concentrate and get you ready, Gabi." Amanda told me as I grinned.

11:30 am

"Ok girls gather around. Now is the time that we give Gabi her gifts." Mom told us as I smiled.

"Now for something old, I decided to give you the necklace that I wore when I married your father." Mom told me as she clasped the necklace around my neck.

"Now for something borrowed, I decided to give Gabi the earrings I wore when I married Jack." Amanda told me as she handed me the earrings. I quickly put them in as Taylor stepped up.

"Your four bridesmaids decided to take the something blue. We decided to give you a blue garter." Taylor told me as I grinned and slipped the bright blue garter on my leg.

"Now for the something new, we had a hard time with this one. But we decided to chip in and give you this." Mom told me as she handed me a box.

I opened the box and gasped when I saw what it was. It was a charm bracelet that had different charms on it. I grinned as I fingered each of the charms. There was a music note, a rose, a B, and a basketball.

"Let us tell you what each charm means. The rose stands for all the rose bouquets that Troy has sent you over the past few years." Sharpay told me.

"The music note is pretty obvious. You singing all the time and finding your true voice." Kelsi told me as I smiled.

"The B has two folds. It stands for Bolton, your soon to be married name. And the B also stands for Brown, where you spend your time now." Liz told me as I smiled.

"And the basketball is a love that brings you and Troy together. Basketball is such a big part of yours and Troy's lives." Taylor told me as I smiled.

"Thank you guys so much. I love it." I told them as Amanda slipped the bracelet on my right hand.

There was a knock on the door. Mom went and quickly opened it. I smiled when I saw Jack standing on the other side.

"Oh my. Gabi you look beautiful." Jack told me as he came over and kissed my cheek.

"Thank you Jack." I told him as he smiled at me and looked around the room.

"Are you ready? Everyone is seated and waiting for you to make your entrance." Jack told me as I smiled.

"Let's get this show on the road." I told them as we walked down the stairs.

I watched Ryan lead Amanda down the isle and sat her down. Brian and my mom went next and quickly sat down. I saw Troy and his grooms men stand at the alter.

I then watched my bridesmaids walk down the isle one by one. I smiled at my cousin, Brittany, walk down the isle, throwing out red rose petals.

I grabbed my bouquet of white roses, white gerbera daisies, and white carnations off the table and linked my arm with Jack's. Everyone stood as Pachebel's Canon in D started to play. Jack and I walked down the isle. My eyes were on Troy the entire time. He flashed me his boyish grin as Jack and I got closer to the isle.

Troy came down and met his dad and me. Jack handed me off to Troy as Troy grabbed my hand and gave it a squeeze.

"You may be seated. Dearly beloved we are gathered here today in the presence of friends, family and God to join in holy matrimony, Gabriella Marie Montez and Troy Michael Bolton. If anyone can show just cause as to why these two should not be married, speak now or forever hold your peace." There was a pause and silence. "That being said, I now ask, who presents this woman in holy matrimony?" the minister asked.

"Her mother," my mom said as I squeezed Troy's hand and as he smiled at me.

Jack slowly raised my veil and kissed my cheek. Placed my hand in Troy's and went back to sit with Amanda. I looked at Troy as the minister began to talk.

"I would like to start off with a prayer. Please bow your heads. Heavenly Father, thank you for bringing all of us here today. It is with your love and your help that Troy and Gabriella found each other. For if it were not for them, there would be no reason for this joyous occasion. In your name, Amen. Troy and Gabriella, you come here today pledging your love to one another and realizing the importance of this bond. And it is not without the help and love and support of the people behind you that you arrived here today. I would like to take this opportunity to allow Troy and Gabriella to thank their parents for their love and support." The minister told the audience that had gathered.

Troy and I walked over first to my mom, who was crying, and hugged her and said a few words to her. We then moved over to Jack and Amanda. After embracing each one, we returned to the altar, where Troy immediately took my hand and began rubbing it with his thumb. I glanced up at him and smiled. The minister continued and spoke to the congregation for a few moments and then he went into the two scripture readings we had chosen. The first was Corinthians 13, the second was Colossians 3:12-17. He then turned to us and smiled.

"Now it is time for Troy and Gabriella to recite their vows. Gabriella please repeat after me." The minister told me as Troy and I faced each other.

"I, Gabriella Marie, take you Troy Michael, to be my lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part." I smiled as Troy squeezed my hand.

"Now you Troy." The minister said as Troy started to recite the same words I just did.

"I, Troy Michael, take you Gabriella Marie, to be my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part." Troy said as I grinned at him.

The minister looked at Troy and I, and then out to the audience. He smiled before saying his next line.

"May I have the bride and groom's rings please?" He said as Chad and Taylor each gave the minister our rings.

"The wedding ring is the outward sign of an inward and spiritual grace, signifying to all the uniting of this man and this woman in holy matrimony. Let us pray. Bless, O Lord, the giving of these rings that they who wear them may abide in peace, and continue in thy favor. Amen." The minister said as Troy and I grinned at each other.

"Troy, please repeat after me. With this ring, as a token of my love and affection, I thee wed." The minister said as he handed Troy my wedding band.

"With this ring, as a token of my love and affection, I thee wed." Troy told me as he slipped my wedding band on my left hand.

"Gabriella, please repeat after me. With this ring, as a token of my love and affection, I thee wed." The minister said as he handed me Troy's wedding band.

"With this ring, as a token of my love and affection, I thee wed." I told Troy as I slipped the ring on his left hand.

"By the power vested in by the state of New Mexico, I now pronounce you man and wife. Troy, you may kiss your new bride." The minister told Troy as he gently lifted my veil up.

"I love you, Gabriella Bolton," he beamed and then gently kissed me, our first kiss as a married couple. We pulled away and smiled at one another; me at my husband and him at his wife.

"Heavenly Father, we thank you for this time together today and we thank you for bringing Gabriella and Troy together. Please watch over them as the make their first steps into married life; guide them and assist them in any way possible. Know that they love you and will welcome your help. In your name, Amen." The minister told the audience as Troy and I grinned at each other.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, for the first time ever, Mr. and Mrs. Troy Bolton." The minister said as everyone got to their feet clapping.

Troy held my hand as we walked back down the aisle. Both of us had grins on our faces as we walked into the house.

2:30 pm

Our reception was in full swing. The backyard had been transformed from a church like setting to a full on party in less than 2 hours. I smiled as I looked around and saw everyone enjoying themselves. I was currently trying to find my husband in amongst our guests.

I smiled to my self. I would never get tired of hearing that word. Husband. It was a simple word but it always brought a smile to my face.

"What are you over here grinning about?" A familiar voice came up behind me and asked me.

"I'm thinking about how you're now my husband and it just brought a smile to my face." I told him as I leaned in and gave him a kiss.

"Ahh I see. I think they want us to have our first dance together." Troy told me as I grabbed his hand.

We walked out to the middle of our dance floor and grinned at all of our guests.

"Troy decided to make one last final decision and change the song that the two of them would have for their first dance. So here are Mr. and Mrs. Troy Bolton and their first of many dances." The DJ we hired said as a familiar song started.

Troy took my hand in his as we started to dance to "At Last" by Etta James. I smiled at him as we twirled around.

"What was so wrong with 'From this Moment On'?" I asked him as he grinned.

"One it was country and I thought this suited us much more." Troy told me as I laid my head on his shoulder.

We continued to dance until the song was over. I smiled at Troy as we walked back over to the head table. As soon as we sat down, the clinking of knives on the glasses became overwhelming. Troy leaned over and we shared a simple kiss.

The rest of the night was a dream. It was so much fun and so exhausting but the smile never left my face. I feel asleep next to my husband and dreamed about our life together that was just starting.

There you guys go. They're married! Now please go and review for me! Thank you!
