Audrey and Noah arrive at the MetroCourt the same time as Jason and Courtney. The foursome all greet each other before walking into the restaurant of the hotel. Courtney gasps when she sees the sight in front of her. Carly had the room decorated beautifully. There were lights stranded throughout the ceiling and flowers on every table. There was also a private party sign sitting on one of the tables. Courtney smiles widely as Carly and Sonny walk into the room.
"Carly you are amazing! I can't believe you did this for us. Again!" "Oh, girl this is so worth it, seeing my two best friends getting married again. I would do anything for you guys." Jason steps forward and hugs his best friend. "We know that." Jason walks over to Sonny and shakes his hand before hugging him. "I'm going to treat her right this time." Sonny pats Jason on his back. "I know. You love her." Audrey steps forward and hugs Carly and Sonny before the six friends sit down at their table.
Carly looks around at her family. These were the people that meant the most to her. Excluding, Jax and her boys, of course. She would do anything for all of these people. Even Sonny. They were on good terms lately. "Audrey, what do you think about your Dad and Courtney getting married?" Audrey gave a small smile. "I couldn't be happier. I love Courtney, almost as much as I love my mother. I couldn't have imagined a better step-mother than her." She looks over at Courtney who has tears in her eyes. "And my Dad deserves this so much. He is the most giving and understanding person that I have ever met. They belong together and I support them whole-heartedly." Jason reaches his arm across the table and grabs Audrey's hand, squeezing it slightly. "I love you, sweetheart." "I love you too, Dad."
Courtney looks over at Jason and he nods his head slightly before she turns her attention to Audrey. "Audrey, there's something that I want to ask you." "Okay." Audrey looks hesitantly between her father and Courtney. "Will you be my maid of honor?" Audrey's mouth drops open. "Yes! Yes, of course I will! I would be honored too." Audrey and Courtney stand up from the table and hug. "But wait a minute; shouldn't Carly be your maid of honor? She's your best friend." Carly waves her hand. "Nonsense. You're her soon-to-be daughter. And besides, I've all ready had the pleasure of that position. Now you get to help plan the wedding." The three women laugh as the men look on.
The men and the women separate after they eat. The women sit at the bar and discuss dresses and flowers and food while the men stay at the table and talk about business. Jason looks at the two men in front of him. "Nothing bad can happen between now and the wedding. We have to make sure that no one is planning on popping up as a surprise guest. Courtney deserves the wedding of her dreams." Sonny and Noah nod. "You both deserve this day. No one's wedding should be interrupted. We'll make sure nothing happens." Noah agrees.
Audrey takes a sip of her champagne, that Jason is allowing her to drink tonight, before flipping a page of the bridal magazine. "What kind of dress are you looking for, Courtney?" Courtney shrugs. "I don't need anything fancy. I've been through this four times all ready." The women laugh. "I just want a simple wedding in front of our closest family and friends." Carly laughs. "This is the last wedding you will ever have. You might as well go all out." Courtney looks at her best friend and smiles. "I agree with Carly, Court. This is the man of your dreams; you may as well vow to spend your life with him at the wedding of your dreams." Finally, after some coaxing Courtney agrees. They decide to table the wedding plans for another day so they can spend the rest of the night with the men.
Carly quietly excuses herself from the table to go turn on some music. Jason smiles to himself when he hears the soft melody. 'Only Carly', he thinks. He stands up from his chair and holds his hand out to Courtney. She smiles and places her hand in his and allows him to lead her to the dance floor. Noah quickly follows suit. Carly and Sonny stand back and watch the two couples glide across the floor.
After hours of talking and dancing the six friends say good-bye and go their separate ways. The women make plans to go to lunch so they can discuss wedding plans. They decide on tomorrow at Kelly's. They hug one more time before leaving.
Audrey walks into Noah's bedroom and collapses on the bed. Noah smiles down at her. "Are you tired?" She nods. "Planning a wedding is hard." Noah laughs. "And you haven't even started yet." Audrey giggles and stands up. "I hope it's easier when we get married." Noah pulls her into his arms. "It will be." They change their clothes and climb into bed quickly falling asleep.
Audrey wakes early the next morning to get ready to meet Carly and Courtney. She gets out of the shower and slips into her jeans and tank top before drying her hair. She walks out of the bathroom and sees Noah still asleep in his bed. She smiles down at him and kisses him on the head. He mumbles something before rolling over. She shakes her head and walks into his kitchen. She's only in there a minute before she feels arms wrap around her body. She smiles and leans her head back against Noah's chest. "You didn't have to get up." "I wanted too. I wanted to see you before you immerse yourself in wedding details. Who knows when I'll see you again." Audrey laughs and turns around in his arms. "You will see me tonight. When you come over to Jason's penthouse and spend the night with me." Noah tilts his head. "I think I can do that." Audrey smiles at him and kisses him. She looks at her watch over his shoulder and moans. "I have to go. If I'm late, Carly will kill me. I love you." "I love you too. I'll call you later." She nods before grabbing a jacket and walking out the door.
Audrey arrives at Kelly's to find Carly's and Courtney's heads buried in Modern Bride. She smiles before sitting down at their table. "So, what have we decided on so far?" Carly and Courtney both look up and mutter 'nothing' at the same time. Audrey giggles and shakes her head. "You only have a week before the big day. You have to make some decisions." Courtney glares at Audrey. "Well, if someone had shown up on time maybe more decisions would have been made." Audrey tried hard not to laugh. "I'm sorry. I'm here now. What do you need?" Courtney throws a magazine at Audrey. "Pick your dress." Audrey starts to say something before Carly throws her a look to keep quiet.
Audrey smiles and starts flipping through the magazine in front of her. It only takes her ten minutes before she finds the dress she wants. She marks the page and slams the magazine shut. Courtney looks ups and lets out a cynical laugh. "No way. You can not know what you want after only ten minutes. I have been here for an hour and haven't even picked a bouquet." Audrey smiles. "There isn't as much pressure on me. I found the perfect dress." She turns the magazine around and shows Courtney the dress. She gasps. "I love it. This is going to look gorgeous on you." Courtney smiles but tears start to flow from her eyes. Audrey jumps up from her chair goes to Courtney. "Court, what's the matter?" "You found your dress in ten minutes. I have looked through these magazines twice and I can't find anything." Carly wraps her arms around her best friend. "Honey, you will. We'll help you. You don't have to do this alone. We'll help you. I'll look for the flowers, Audrey can look for the cake, and you look for your dress." Courtney wipes the tears from her eyes. "Okay."
After three more hours of searching they finalize the last detail. Courtney sighs in relief. "I can't believe we just planned my entire wedding in four hours. I couldn't have done this without you guys. Thank you so much." Audrey smiles at Courtney. "You're welcome." Carly squeezes Courtney's hand. "You're wedding is going to be beautiful." Courtney looks out the window and smiles. "It's going to be perfect."
