Author's Note: Thank you SOO much for all the reviews…I really loved them. And I wanted to update last night, but my internet went down! I was very upset…and this morning I had a truck load of reviews in my inbox and I felt really bad that I didn't update last night, which is why I might update twice tonight. So enjoy this chapter, though I'm not really happy with it.

"Gabriella," Taylor sang into her best friend's ear. When Gabriella made no sign of movement, Taylor stood straight up.

"Gabriella!" Taylor yelled. Gabriella shot up in her bed, panting. When she looked to her side and saw Taylor, she let out a breath.

"Don't do that! What do you want?" she asked snappily.

Taylor put her hands up in defense. "Hey, sorry. Good morning to you too. I fell asleep on your couch last night, I hope you don't mind. Anyway, your stupid alarm was going off and I didn't know how to turn it off," Taylor said pointing to her alarm clock.

Gabriella's eyes widened in shock as she looked over at the clock. "It's past 6:00? I have to get ready!" she cried as she tumbled out of bed.

Taylor looked at her friend suspiciously. "I thought you said the wedding wasn't until 10:00?" she asked.

Gabriella was already riffling through her closet. "It is at 10:00, but I have to get ready with my apparel, and then I have to make sure the hair stylist is there for the bride with the right materials, make sure the groomsmen get ready on time, be there for moral support for the bride, be sure that everything is in perfect place, I just have tons of stuff to do before the ceremony actually starts," she said all in one breath as she pulled her dress out and placed in on her bed.

Taylor slowly nodded. "Are you going to see Troy today?" she asked causally.

Gabriella gave her friend a skeptical look. "Yes, Tay, I'm going to see him today."

"And he's going to see you in that?" she inquired, pointing to the dress on the bed.

"Yeah, why? Is it a bad dress? I thought it looked nice," she said looking at the dress. The dress was a light blue, and it went down to her ankles.

"Bad? Gabriella that is a gorgeous dress. I'll be surprised if Troy doesn't drop dead. Are you sure a wedding planner would wear this?" Taylor said sitting down on the bed picking it up.

Gabriella smiled. "Well, Jackie made me one of her bridesmaids, so this is her dress, really. But thanks, Tay. I gotta go take a shower," Gabriella said as she walked into her bathroom.

"Okay, I gotta go anyway. I have work also. Tell Jackie I said congratulations and that I will be at the reception later," Taylor yelled over her shoulder as she headed for the door.

"Okay, bye!" Gabriella shouted in her bathroom. She then undressed and got into the shower, letting the hot water hit her body.

Gabriella entered the church with a huge smile on her face. When she walked in, she found all the decorations as she ordered and planned them, light blue and white were the theme colors. The flowers were correct and beautiful, blue carnations and daises. She grinned; this was exactly as she planned. She then sauntered her way to the groomsmen's side of the church. She swiftly opened the door to find about seven men sitting and one of them had a vodka bottle in his hands.

"Hello men," Gabriella greeted. All the men turned around and looked at Gabriella.

"Gabi!" John exclaimed as he walked towards her and gave her a hug. "You look incredible!" he said as she stepped back and looked her over.

"Thanks," Gabriella responded with a warm smile. "How are you feeling?" she asked.

He grinned. "I'm actually really good. I'm excited to marry Jackie. I really want to," he said while looking at the door.

Gabriella chuckled. "Don't get your hopes up just yet. You still have quite awhile until she walks down the aisle," Gabriella said.

John smiled. "Yeah, but I can't wait. How is she doing?" he asked.

"I haven't seen her yet, but I'm sure she's doing fine. She loves you," Gabriella replied as she moved towards the door.

"Is that a good thing that you're telling me this?" he asked uncertain.

"Yes, John. It's always a good thing to hear that someone loves you," Gabriella said as she walked out.

"Cindy, where is the bride?" Gabriella asked as spotted Cindy.

"Gabriella! Thank God you're here, she's upstairs in her room. She's waiting for you, she's a total wreck," Cindy replied pointing up the stairs.

"Thank you," Gabriella said as she picked her dress up to walk up the stairs.

"Looking good, Montez," Jamie said as she passed her on the stairs, "Oh, and by the way, this wedding is looking fantastic also. Better control the bride so it's not wasted," she finished as she walked down the last set of steps. Gabriella rolled her eyes and opened the door to the room where the bride was.

"Gabriella! It's about time you got here! My nerves are getting the better of me! I don't know if I should do this," Jackie cried out, plopping down on the ground in her wedding dress.

"Oh, no sweetie. It's okay, you are going to go through with this. John loves you, you know that. And why wouldn't you do it? I know you love him also," Gabriella said as she crouched down beside her weeping friend.

Jackie looked up at her through her tears. "Thank you, Gabriella; it's just that I'm scared. What if he's not there? What if he bailed on me? He seemed insecure last night, and I just don't know…" Jackie sobbed.

Gabriella rubbed her friend's back. "Jackie, all men are insecure before their wedding days, everyone is. It's just cold feet. I'm pretty sure he got over it by now. Relax; everything is going to go fine. And you know me, I've dealt with many couples, and I can tell you and John are going to last forever," Gabriella said as she pulled her friend off the ground.

Jackie gave a watery smile. "Thanks, Gabriella. I should have asked you to be my maid of honor, instead of my stupid sister who's not even here yet."

Gabriella chuckled. "I'm sure she'll be here soon. I have to go check up on other things with the wedding, because I am the wedding planner also," Gabriella said with a smile as she headed for the door.

"You will be back though, right?" Jackie asked she stood back in front of her mirror.

"Of course I'll be back. You don't expect me to just run down the aisle and stand beside you and your sister at a random time, do you?" Gabriella asked grinning.

Jackie returned the smile as Gabriella closed the door. She bounced down the stairs (or at least tried to, in her shoes it was extremely hard) and she trotted around the church, fixing things here and there. She moved some of the flowers around, rearranged some of the chairs in the back, and grabbed the bouquets from the bride's mother. About an hour past, when Cindy ran up to her.

"Gabriella!" Cindy called.

Gabriella turned around and spotted Cindy running up to her. "Yes?" she asked.

"Have you straightened out the problems with the groomsmen?" she asked out of breath.

Gabriella furrowed her brow. "What's wrong with the groomsmen?" she asked carefully.

"The bride's father is drinking too much," she replied.

Gabriella sighed, rolled her eyes and then marched in the direction of the groomsmen's quarters. She then turned around, and walked back to Cindy.

"Take these," she said as she handed Cindy the bouquets.

Gabriella then marched back into the room where the men were. "Where's the bride's father?" she asked as she came through the door.

Every man looked up. "He went to go to the bathroom. Still can't believe his daughter is getting married," one of them said.

"Okay, thank you," she said as she strolled out of the room. She walked towards the bathrooms, but found the man she was looking for sitting on the ground, drinking out of the vodka bottle.

She chuckled and took the bottle away. "Okay, time's up. You need to go back, so when your daughter is ready you can walk her down the aisle," Gabriella said as she helped the old man up.

"It seems just like yesterday she was wearing diapers. Now, she's getting married. It's like tomorrow she'll be announcing she's pregnant," he said as he let Gabriella lead him.

Gabriella let out a laugh. "I don't think she'll be getting pregnant anytime soon, so you don't have to think about that. Don't worry; she is getting married to an amazing man. You should be proud of your daughter."

"You know, you're one hell of a wedding planner," he stuttered out as she then opened the door of the groomsmen. Gabriella smiled and carefully set the man down on a chair. She fixed the coat of his tux, and then walked out. As soon as she came out, Cindy came up to her again.

"Here are the bouquets. Did you straighten it out?" she asked impedingly.

Gabriella nodded and took the bouquets. "Time check?" she asked.

Cindy looked at her watch. "9:37. People should be arriving soon. Oh, Melanie and Troy are at the entrance waiting for you," she said as she strode away in the opposite direction.

Gabriella let out a moan as a thorn pricked her finger. She ignored it and then strolled off in the direction of the entrance. Sure enough when she got there, she saw in the doorway of the church, were Troy and Melanie. Troy was wearing a white button down shirt, with a tie and black slacks. Melanie was wearing a pink sundress with her hair down. Gabriella cautiously made her way towards the couple.

"I'm guessing you found the place alright?" she asked coming up behind them.

Both heads snapped around, and looked at Gabriella. Melanie smiled widely, and Troy just stared.

"Gabriella, you look beautiful!" Melanie exclaimed looking at her up and down.

"Thank you," Gabriella said returning the smile. Troy was just standing there, not taking his eyes off of Gabriella. Melanie nudged him in the ribs. This seemed to snap him out of his trance because he put on a warm smile.

"Yeah, Gabriella, you look gorgeous," he said sincerely.

Gabriella started to laugh. "Thanks Troy," she replied.

Melanie gave Troy a confused look. "How come you never look at me like that?" she asked.

Troy just looked at Melanie, and was at a loss for words. Gabriella sensed this and decided to help him.

"Well, feel free to look around the place; just do not go into the groomsmen's quarters. I can't tell you how many problems I've had already with them," Gabriella said pointing to the room.

Troy chuckled as Melanie nodded. "I really love it! You've done a wonderful job," Melanie said excitedly.

Gabriella smiled. "Thanks. I'm one of the bridesmaids, so I will be up at the alter. We canmeet here after the ceremony and I can give you a grand tour of everything," she suggested.

Melanie nodded. "Yes, that's fine. Sounds like a plan."

Gabriella grinned, bid them goodbye and then strolled away towards the bride's quarters. Her feet were really starting to hurt now, and the wedding didn't even start. She sighed as she marched up the stairs, and came through the bride's room once again.

"I'm back, and I have bouquets!" Gabriella exclaimed.

Jackie turned around with the hugest smile Gabriella has ever seen. "Gabriella, I think I'm ready," she said happily as she took her flowers.

Gabriella returned the smile. "See? I told you everything would turn out okay. Now all we have to do is wait," she said as she sat down next to the maid of honor.

Jackie turned to Gabriella. "Gabi, thank you so much for helping me, both as a friend and wedding planner. You really did make all my wishes about this wedding come true," she said sincerely.

Gabriella just grinned. "It's no problem. I'm glad you're happy," she replied.

"I pronounce this couple Mr. and Mrs. John Green. You may now kiss the bride," the priest said with his arms outstretched.

John smiled and happily obliged. Gabriella felt a grin creep on her face as she watched the couple kiss. She was happy that things worked out for Jackie; she just wished her own love life would also. She also felt her stomach turn into knots as she spotted Troy looking at her. She blushed and looked down, hoping he didn't see her glance at him. She was snapped back to reality when the bridesmaid behind her nudged her forward to walk down the aisle with one of the groomsmen. Gabriella did so, and smiled as she walked to the back of the church.

"You're the wedding planner?" the groomsman asked while they were walking down.

"Yeah, that's me," Gabriella responded.

"You did a fantastic job," he said.

Gabriella's smile widened. "Thank you."

Once they got to the back of the church, they unlinked arms. The man held out his hand, and introduced himself.

"Hi, I'm Jeremy," he said, with his hand outstretched.

Gabriella looked up at the man. He had black hair, and stunning green eyes. He was tall, and it looked like he had muscle underneath his tux. She smiled and took his hand.

"Gabriella," she replied shaking his hand.

"Nice to meet you. Will I see you at the reception?" he asked hopefully.

"Likewise. Yes, I should be there," she answered smiling.

"Save a dance for me?" he asked with anticipation in his voice.

"Sure," Gabriella responded delicately. He grinned, took her hand and kissed it softly.

"See you soon," he said before he walked out into the sunlight towards the limo.

Gabriella just stood there, watching him leave. She had a smile on her lips; maybe dating someone else wasn't as bad as she thought. Troy was getting married; there was no way he was going to back out of a wedding to go back to his high school sweetheart, not with how things were going now. He hardly said anything at the first meeting, she doubted he would want to help plan the rest of the wedding at all. She would soon find out that she was wrong, but for now Gabriella still stood at the entrance of the church, and couldn't help but think that maybe Taylor was right. Maybe she should have a love life of her own.
