Hey Guys
Last night's chapter was 9 pages long I finished it at 1am. I don't know what got into me last night I just started writing and writing next thing I know it says it was 9 pages and over 2,000 words. Not only did we hit 60 chapters last night but we also hit over 240 reviews. Just a quick note who saw tonight's episode? OMG I loved Keith tonight.
mags0607: It's coming…
DanaJaycee: I'm glad you enjoyed it I think besides the very first that was the one that flowed the quickest out of my brain. I've had a blast at the weddings I've been at. Most of them have been small. I joke around with my friends that I'm eloping to avoid the planning process…lol. And you're welcome for the spot.
quenbee84: I wish I could keep going like this too, but with out money I have no access to Internet therefore I cannot update…lol.
Cadi Cay: Keep enjoying and welcome to the family.
LuvAngel448: Thank you, and I love writing for Jenny she is so easy.
Love,
Emily
(Mark Schwann and the WB own the characters depicted in this story I don't own anything… I wish I could say I owned the show but I don't…Also the vows and the speeches were barrowed from a couple web sites which I can't remember the names of at the moment so I don't own them either and I don't own any of the songs mentioned here.)
Everybody made it out of the church to bubbles being blown on the couple. During the receiving line everybody congratulated the couple and they joked around with a few of the other guests.
"Congratulations guys." Said Lucas as he walked up to his parents.
"Thanks, kid. Thank you both for being apart of this." Said Keith as he hugged Brooke and then Lucas.
"You're welcome." Said Brooke as she hugged Karen.
"Unwle Luke!" Said Jenny as she ran into Lucas' legs.
"How is my favorite flower girl?" Asked Lucas as he picked Jenny up.
"I good. See me?"
"I did I saw you throwing the flowers who told you to do that?"
"Autie Book."
"Tattletale, I told her to throw the flowers because I didn't know how else to explain it." Said Brooke.
"Well I think you did great. Where are Mommy and Daddy?" Asked Lucas.
"There." Said Jenny as she pointed to Jake and Peyton over about 5 feet away."
"Okay."
"Well I'm going to stop holding up the line and let everyone else tell you congratulations." Said Lucas as he Brooke and Jenny stepped away.
"Karen, your dress is gorgeous where did you find it?" Asked one of the guests.
"Actually Brooke designed it for me." Said Karen.
"Your son's girlfriend?"
"Yes."
"She has a talent, does she do it all the time?"
"You would actually need to speak with her, she is some where with Luke, oh there they are." Said Karen pointing out Brooke and Lucas, who were standing talking to Jake, Peyton, Haley and Nathan.
"Which one is she again?"
"The brunette." Said Karen.
"Right." Said the woman.
"I kind of hoping she'll do my daughter's prom dress."
"You'd have to speak to Brooke, and now would probably be the best time to catch her because in the next couple minutes you probably won't be able to get her away from my son." Said Karen laughing.
"I'll see you guys later." Said the woman.
The congrats continued for a good 15 minutes and everyone decided that it was time to take pictures. The photographer came over to where the wedding party was hanging around talking and joking around.
"Hey guys we are ready to do the pictures now." Said the photographer's assistant.
"Okay, Guys? You ready?" Asked Karen.
"Yeah." Said Nathan.
"Okay I want the Bride and Groom, Lucas stand next to Keith, Nathan next to him, Larry, Jake, Bruce. And then Brooke I need you next to Karen, Haley next to Brooke, Deb, Peyton, and Lorna and Jenny why don't you stand right in front of Brooke." Said the assistant.
"Okay watch the birdie." Said the photographer.
"Where birdie Autie Book?" Asked Jenny.
"Just look at the camera sweetie." Said Brooke as the photographer took the photo.
"What did she ask?" Asked Peyton.
"She asked where the birdie was." Said Brooke with a laugh.
"They really need new lines." Said Haley.
"Okay guys now we're going to get some shots of just the Bride and Groom together and then we'll do just the women, then the guys and so on like that." Said the assistant.
"Excuse me Brooke?" Asked the woman that talked to Karen earlier as the group separated from Keith and Karen.
"Yeah?"
"Hi, my name is Marcie Levin I was just admiring the dresses and I spoke to Karen briefly and she told me that you designed and made them and I was wondering if you would be able to make my daughter's prom dress when that time came?"
"Um, I'd have to meet with your daughter to discuss what she's looking for." Said Brooke
"Well great I'll go get her." Said Marcie.
"Actually I can't do it right now I'm busy with the wedding but if you give me your number I can call you and we can set something up."
"Well that won't work you see we're going out of town for the summer and we won't be available when you are."
"Well then I guess I won't be doing your daughter's dress." Said Brooke.
"I am willing to pay you a good deal of money to make my daughter's dream dress."
"That's too bad because I don't need your money and I don't need to put all the time and energy into a dress now when it won't be worn for another year, so take your money elsewhere." Said Brooke.
"But…"
"No, bye." Said Brooke as she and Lucas walked away.
"I am so proud of you right now." Said Lucas.
"What for?"
"For being one hell of a hot maid of honor and for telling that woman off." Said Lucas as he kissed the top of Brooke's head.
"I'll tell you something it felt pretty good." Said Brooke as the rejoined the group.
"So did Marcie talk to you?" Asked Karen.
"Yeah, but it's not going to work out." Said Brooke.
"Well good nothing good would have come out of working with her, the only reason she was invited is because she was an old family friend by marriage." Said Karen as the girls lined up.
"Watch the birdie ladies."
"Autie Book no birdie." Said Jenny.
"Just look at Daddy honey." Said Peyton hearing Jenny.
"Otay." Said Jenny.
The photographers continued to take the pictures. They took them of the couples together, then of Karen, Keith, Lucas, and Brooke. They then took pictures of Keith, Karen, Royal, Mae, and Whitey stepping in for Karen. After the pictures were done everybody loaded into the limo and headed to TRIC after dropping Jenny off at the sitter's house for the reception where Mouth volunteered to be the DJ. The limo pulled up and the group unloaded and descended on the club, all the guests were already there mingling amongst themselves.
"I'm going to go tell Mouth we're here." Said Lucas.
"Okay." Said Karen.
"Hey Mouth."
"Hey, is everybody here?"
"Yeah, so the order will go Grandma and Grandpa, Whitey is coming out by himself since he gave Mom away, me and Brooke, Hales and Nate, Larry and Deb, Jake and Peyton, Bruce and Lorna and then the Bride and Groom."
"What about Jenny?"
"We dropped her off at the sitter's house, with a promise that I would smuggle her a piece of cake if she was good." Said Lucas.
"You are evil to Peyton and Jake." Said Mouth.
"The joys of being an Uncle my friend." Said Lucas as he walked away.
"All set?"
"All set, he going to get everybody to their seats now." Said Lucas.
"Ladies and Gentlemen I am here to formally welcome you to the reception to celebrate the marriage of Karen and Keith, my name is Mouth and I will be your DJ tonight, and I am honored to introduce the wedding party right now so if you all could head to your seats we will get this party underway."
"I love the fact that he felt the need to introduce himself, what are there maybe 3 people from out of town here that don't know him." Said Peyton laughing.
"I'll bust him on it later." Said Lucas.
"Ladies and Gentlemen the mother and father of the Groom Royal and Mae Scott." Said Mouth as the crowd happily applauded. "Acting father of the Bride, Whitey Durham." The crowd kept the applause going through out the introductions. "The Maid of Honor and Best Man Brooke Davis and Lucas Scott. Bridesmaid and Groomsman Haley and Nathan Scott, Bridesmaid and Groomsman Deb Scott and Larry Sawyer, Bridesmaid and Groomsman Peyton Sawyer and Jake Jagielski, and Bridesmaid and Groomsman Lorna and Bruce Jagielski. Now Ladies and Gentlemen the reason we have gathered here today, for the second time today Mr. And Mrs. Keith Scott!" Which was met by thunderous applause and a few catcalls from the table that housed Skills, Junk, Fergie and their girlfriends.
"Hey Nate should I be disturbed at the fact that my buddies are catcalling my mother?" Asked Lucas.
"Nah, for all we know they could be catcalling Keith." Said Nathan laughing.
"True." Said Lucas.
After the introductions were made Mouth announced that it was time for the Bride and Grooms first dance.
"It has come to the part in the evening where the Bride and Groom will share their first dance." Said Mouth as he put Shania Twain's 'You're Still the One' on.
(When I first saw you, I saw love.
And the first time you touched me, I felt love.
And after
all this time, you're still the one I love.)
Looks like we made it
Look how far we've come my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we'd get there someday
They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong
(You're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night
Ain't nothin' better
We beat the odds together
I'm glad we didn't listen
Look at what we would be missin'
They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong
(You're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night
(You're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night
Keith and Karen slow danced the song that fit them perfectly, as the song came to an end Mouth announce that it was now time for Whitey and Karen to have a dance. They danced to 'Fireflies' By Faith Hill.
Before you met me I was a fairy princess
I caught frogs and called them prince
And made myself a queen
Before you knew me I traveled 'round the world
I slept in castles and fell in love
Because I was taught to dream
I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
To capture tinkerbell
They were just fireflies to the untrained eye
But I could always tell
chorus
I believe in fairytales and dreamers dreams like bed sheet sails
And I believe in peter pan and miracles
And anything I can to get by
And fireflies
Before I grew up I saw you on a cloud
I could bless myself in your name and pat you on your wings
Before I grew up I heard you whisper so loud
"life is hard, and so is love, child, believe in all these things"
I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
To capture tinkerbell
And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye
But I could always tell
chorus
Before you met me I was a fairy princess
I caught frogs and called them prince
And made myself a queen
Before you knew me I traveled 'round the world
And I slept in castles and fell in love
Because I was taught to dream
After the song was over everybody joined in on the dances and then they headed to the tables where the speeches were going to be made. It had been decided that Lucas would go first since Brooke was still a little nervous about hers.
Lucas tapped on his glass to get everybody's attention before he started.
"Excuse me. Would anybody mind if I took this time to wish Karen and Keith a happy half hour anniversary? I would like to say thank you to for all that you've done to make this the special day that it is. And, of course, my gratitude to for all of your support and all that you've done to make this, by all accounts, the perfect day. And finally, thank you, Keith for making such a good choice for the best man.
This morning when Keith and I were getting ready, he turned to me and asked "Is everything okay?" I don't mind telling you that I was taken aback by this. Oh sure, he's talked to me before, but it's usually, "Pass the chips", or "Don't stand in front of the TV", or "Did you clean your room?" This morning he wanted to know if I'm okay? Keith has been around for a lot of my firsts. Now Keith is caring, he's generous, he's sensitive. I don't even know him anymore. Karen has changed my best friend. Actually, I should thank you Mom for giving me a guy that I can look up to and learn from. He's yelled at me for coming home late, he yelled at me the morning after mine and Brooke's first date when I came home with a tattoo at 16. Here's to Karen and Keith, my parents, a life of years, free of tears, bottoms up and lots of luck."
During the speech everybody laughed at the parts when he talked about Keith's questions to him, and especially the mention of Brooke and Lucas' first date. Next it was Brooke's turn for her speech.
"Cheery you're up." Said Lucas into the microphone.
"When Karen first asked me to be her Maid of Honor, I was truly thrilled and honored. I still am honored. Though, I have to admit, after the initial thrill wore off, the realization hit me that at some point I would have to get up and give a speech, which was definitely less thrilling. I really racked my brain as to what to say. Be funny, I thought. Well, that's easier said than done. Then I thought, just give them really good advice. Now that was something I could do: Remember, always wear clean underwear. If you have none left… well, why don't you do some laundry once in awhile! Remember, look both ways before crossing the street. Of course, just which two ways they are referring to, I am not sure, but it still sounds good. Then Nate told me to Remember: KISS. Heck I thought that meant I'd get a chance to make out with the Best Man, then much to my dismay, I was told KISS means Keep it short, and sweet. Hey, I got the sweet part down, 1 out of 3 isn't bad! So perhaps, the advice thing didn't work out so well after all. That's OK, I have other ideas. I was told; say some nice things about the Bride and Groom. Hmmm… Ummm… Hmmm… Ummm. Well, OK, let me get back to you on that one. I guess by now Karen is rethinking her selection in a Maid of Honor, but luckily for me, it is really too late for her to do anything about it. But, getting back to the toast, I thought perhaps the best thing to do would be to find some amazing quote, some beautiful sentiment, and blow everyone away with it. I spent quite a bit of time finding one, and truly found the perfect one. But, then, after watching the ceremony, I realized the most beautiful sentiment of all was seeing Karen and Keith looking into each other's eyes. I watched as two wonderful people pledged their love, and their lives to each other, in front of their family and friends . . . and that blew me away. I think we all were fortunate today, as we were witness to a truly special moment. I ask that everyone please stand and raise your glasses. Karen and Keith. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this very special day. Thank you for allowing all of us to share in your love. May God bless you both, may your love for each other continue to grow, and may today be the first day of the rest of your lives, which should be filled with health, happiness and love. Karen and Keith, here's to you!"
"You did good Pretty Girl." Said Lucas as she sat back down.
"You didn't do too bad yourself Broody."
After the speeches were done dinner was served and everybody was having a blast dancing and joking around, Keith cut into one of Brooke and Lucas' dances.
"May I cut in?" Asked Keith coming up behind Lucas.
"I know we're family and all but is that appropriate?" Said Lucas
"I meant with Brooke smart ass, go dance with your Mom." Said Keith.
"Okay, but I want her back in the same condition." Said Lucas as he went off to find Karen.
"Hey, Mom can I have this dance?" Asked Lucas.
"Of course."
Karen and Lucas danced for the next two songs since Brooke had ended up dancing with Skills next who had cut into Keith's dance with her.
"I have a strange feeling I'm not getting my girlfriend back tonight." Said Lucas jokingly.
"Well no offense honey but here comes Keith and I would like to dance with my husband." Said Karen matching his tone.
"See what you started?" Asked Lucas sarcastically to Keith.
"It's not my fault you brought home the pretty girl."
"She my Pretty Girl you've got one of your own." Said Lucas as he patted Keith on the back and headed off to save his girlfriend.
"Can I cut in?"
"Sure I'm going to go rescue Bevin from talking to Fergie and Junk, and save my reputation with her."
"Go do that." Said Lucas laughing knowing left for two long with a girlfriend the embarrassing stories were going to come out of Fergie and Junk.
"So I was thinking, since we're alone tonight we could have some fun what do you say?"
"I'd say absolutely." Said Lucas.
The cake was cut and dessert was served to the guests, the dancing continued through out the night and everybody was switching of partners here and there by half way through the night everybody in the wedding party had danced with each other at least once.
"Okay every body it is now time for every one to clear the dance floor and all the single ladies to get out there." Said Mouth who had danced also during the party.
"Where do you think your going?" Asked Lucas to Brooke who was sitting on his lap.
"Technically I am still single. So I am going to go join Deb, Peyton, and Bevin on the floor." Said Brooke as she kissed Lucas' cheek.
"Small technicality." Said Lucas.
"You lost her man to the bouquet." Said Jake.
"I wouldn't be talking yours is out there too." Said Lucas.
"True." Said Jake.
"Okay is everybody ready for this?" Asked Karen.
"Yeah!" Yelled the crowd of women.
"Here it goes."
The bouquet sailed through the air and landed in the hands of Brooke. Who was shocked and happy that she caught it.
"Please tell me she didn't catch it." Said Lucas more to himself than anybody else.
"Start saving buddy." Said Jake laughing.
"This isn't funny."
"Yeah it is, but we better get out their under our own free will otherwise we'll be dragged." Said Jake.
"This is one of those days I'm happy I got married when I did." Said Nathan as he stayed in his seat.
"Shut up Nate." Said Lucas jokingly.
"Okay guys, gather around." Said Keith as he saw the target.
"This is bad, no kid should be at his parents' wedding." Said Lucas joking around with Jake as Keith was taking Karen's garter off.
"I agree whole heartedly. But sometimes you can't help it." Said Jake.
"Yeah, but I mean I doubt you and Peyton will wait 18 years to get married, that way Jenny doesn't have to see this." Said Lucas.
"I agree." Said Jake.
"Ready, one, two, three!" Said Keith as he flung it at Lucas.
"Thanks Keith!" Said Lucas as he caught the garter.
"You think they planned this Broody?" Asked Brooke as she came over to the guys.
"Knowing them yeah." Said Lucas.
"Can we get the young lady that caught the bouquet and the guy that caught the garter to the center of the dance floor please?" Said Mouth.
"We're going." Said Brooke.
Brooke and Lucas made their way on to the dance floor once again and Brooke sat in the chair that was set there.
"You know if 50 of our closest friends and family weren't standing around this could get very interesting for us." Said Brooke.
"Later Pretty Girl." Said Lucas as he put the garter on Brooke's leg and took her hand as she stood up to do their customary dance which Karen chose after she talked to Haley and Peyton about what song she should put on for them she chose 'Breath' By: Faith Hill for them since some of the other songs that Haley and Peyton suggested were giving Karen and Keith visuals they really didn't want.
I can feel the magic floating in the air
Being with you gets me that way
I watch the sunlight dance across your face and I've
Never been this swept away
All my thoughts just seem to settle on the breeze
When I'm lying wrapped up in your arms
The whole world just fades away
The only thing I hear
Is the beating of your heart
'Cause I can feel you breathe
It's washing over me
Suddenly I'm melting into you
There's nothing left to prove
Baby all we need is just to be
Caught up in the touch
The slow and steady rush
Baby, isn't that the way that love's supposed to be
I can feel you breathe
Just breathe
In a way I know my heart is waking up
As all the walls come tumbling down
I'm closer than I've ever felt before
And I know
And you know
There's no need for words right now
'Cause I can feel you breathe
It's washing over me
Suddenly I'm melting into you
There's nothing left to prove
Baby all we need is just to be
Caught up in the touch
The slow and steady rush
Baby, isn't that the way that love's supposed to be
I can feel you breathe
Just breathe
Caught up in the touch
The slow and steady rush
Baby, isn't that the way that love's supposed to be
I can feel you breathe
Just breathe
I can feel the magic floating in the air
Being with you gets me that way
As Brooke and Lucas danced they talked about everything that they wanted to do during the summer together. And while joking around they were talking about the superstition of what it means to catch the bouquet and garter.
"Well you know what this means Broody."
"What does it mean Cheery?"
"It means that not only did your basketball shot say it was destiny now we have the superstition of the bouquet and garter toss in our court."
"Yes we do. So that is just one more thing that we can add to the list that makes us perfect for each other." Said Lucas.
"We are, aren't we." Said Brooke as she hugged Lucas closer to her.
"I love you."
"And I love you." Said Brooke.
At 1 am the last of the guests left besides the wedding party.
"You know what guys? Why don't we let the newlyweds get on their way and we can clean up tomorrow." Said Deb.
"Yeah, that sounds good." Said Lorna.
"Okay, so just a reminder to you two, we are going to the airport right from the hotel later on so I'm going to tell you this now, no parties at the house, no tattoos, no car accidents, no pregnancies." Said Karen joking around with Brooke and Lucas.
"We promise nothing like that will happen and the same goes for you guys." Said Brooke.
"Okay now if you need any thing, we will call once a week, and email you when we can." Said Keith.
"Deal." Said Lucas.
"Have fun you guys everything will be here when you get back, and take lots of pictures while you are out and about." Said Brooke.
"We will, come here all of you." Said Karen as she hugged all the kids and the other adults.
"Go now! Have fun we will see you when you get back." Said Lucas.
"Okay bye Guys." Said Keith as he and Karen got in the limo that would take them to the hotel.
