Author's Note: Hope you enjoy. Also the first few chapters are about BEFORE they were dating but now they are ENGAGED!
Another Author's Note: Sorry if it seems like I'm skipping some part but I seriously ran out of ideas of things for Walker and Alex to do before their wedding. Plus I kind of want to finish this story so I can start my next one. I've had the idea for it for months and am just waiting to finish this story before I post it. And sorry this chapter is kind of short. I'm trying to get the next one finished and posted before I go on vacation.

Chapter 11: The Letter
After Walker and Alex's camping trip, their wedding came up fast. Alex went shopping for her wedding dress one afternoon and when she came back, Walker had asked if he could see it. Alex had only replied, "Don't you know it's bad luck to see the bride in her dress before the wedding. And with our track record, I don't think we need any bad luck right about now."
Walker meanwhile was trying to get everything together on his end for the wedding. Although the main problem was getting all the guys together for one afternoon to go to their tuxedo fittings. It seemed that every time they made an appointment for their tuxedo fittings, some bad guy would do something and ruin their plans. Finally, one day, two weeks before the wedding, they were able to get to the tuxedo fitting. Everything went fine.
Walker and Alex spent the night before their wedding wrapped in each other's arms in front of the fireplace at the ranch. Alex kept talking about the Walker, wanting to make sure that every last detail would be just perfect for the following day. Walker enjoyed listening to her; she was always very talkative and it had never bothered him.
"So the wedding will be at 2:00 and then we have to be at the reception at 3:30. If we leave by 6:00, we'll have just enough time to make it to the airport. Does that sound good?" Alex questioned him.
"It sounds wonderful," was all Walker said before leaning down for a kiss.
Alex stopped the kiss for a moment. "I just want everything to be perfect."
"I know you do honey and it will be, I promise."
"So bad guys are going to show up?" Alex questioned him.
"I checked it out all ready; the bad guys are on vacation."
Alex only smiled before starting the kiss she had stopped.
"Oh and Walker," Alex said as she stopped the kiss once again.
"Huh?"
"I meant to tell you a few months ago how much your lists mean to me. They're so sweet and I love reading them. And even though we're getting married, I hope you continue to give them to me every now and then. It's like I'm seeing a totally different side of you that I never knew about."
"No problem sweetheart. I was wondering when you were going to say something about them. And of course I'll continue writing them once we're married because I love you and I know how much they mean to you." Walker said before he started kissing her…again.
Three hours later found Alex leaving to head back to her apartment one last time. Trivette, Sydney, and Gage had already agreed to move everything from her apartment to the ranch while Walker and Alex were on their honeymoon. The only things that weren't packed up into boxes were a couple changes of cloths and some jewelry.
Taking her things out of her purse, Alex noticed a piece of paper that wasn't there earlier. At first look, she thought it was just another 'list of ten things' from Walker. But after another look, she realized there was something else too.
First Alex read the 'list of ten things.'

4) MY BEST FRIEND WILL ALWAYS BE AROUND
5) I WON'T HAVE TO SPEND THE NIGHTS AWAY FROM HER

9) I'LL GET TO WAKE UP EVERY MORNING TO HER SMILING (OR SLEEPING) FACE
10) I'LL BE MARRIED TO MY BEST FRIEND IN THE WHOLE WORLD
Alex next looked at the other piece of paper. This time she found a letter from Walker.
Alex, I know I never say it enough or at often as I should. But I love you so much. You are the light of my world and the only reason I get up some mornings. After a long day at work, your smiling face is all I need to see to feel better. When you walk into a room, you're the only one I notice and that day in court, you were the only person I noticed. I loved you from that very moment Alex. And I knew we would be together one day. Through all of our troubles we've made it through and because of that and our love, I know we'll be able to make it through whatever life throws at us. Alex, I love you and everything about you. I can't wait until tomorrow when you are my wife. I'll be married to the greatest woman on the planet, who also happens to be my best friend. And no matter what Alex, know that I love you. –Love, Walker
Alex read the letter over a couple more times before sitting it down on the dresser. She went to bed that night with dreams full of all the wonderful stuff the next day would bring.
