This is the last chapter of Love That Lasts Forever, there will be a third installment in this story though so stay tuned! And this is the wedding! I will have outtakes of the reception in another chapter...maybe. Anways I don't know much about weddings so bare with me!
"Keep that away from her!" Maxie cried, as a pregnant Carly who was already having pregnant cravings munched on a plate of french fries.
"I'm not going to ruin her dress!" Carly cried between bites.
Maxie who was all dolled up in her bridesmaid dress glowered at Carly, "You better not, or I'll kick your ass"
Carly gave Maxie a warning look that Maxie gave right back. Maxie didn't play when it came to these kinds of things, and I was glad. I needed this day to go smoothly, without any problems at all. Fat chance that would ever happen. I had to admit though, everything was close to perfect at the moment. My sisters were all here, dressed and ready to go down the isle, my mom was here, Monica was, all the other Quartermaines, and all my closest friends and family. I never thought I would cry at my wedding, I wasn't that emotional. Right now I was damn close to it.
"I have to say I'm really jealous of you right now" Maxie confessed, fussing with my already did hair. "You look stunning, Jason looks stunning, and the place looks fabulous. Gosh, are you going to be the happiest bride ever. Why couldn't this be me?"
"There isn't time to be a jealous bitch Maxie" Carly chimed in.
"Why don't you go wash off your greasy little hands, and do something productive that doesn't include stuffing your face?" Maxie suggested sweet as sugar.
"Watch it Maxie, just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean I can't beat your ass. I'm only pregnant for a couple of months, not years. I won't forget"
"I don't want you to" Maxie replied, her attention returned to me "Well Mrs. Quartermaine, what's going to be your first move as a newlywed?"
"The honeymoon, than I don't know what happens. The house should be done by then, so I'm guessing we'll be moving there. Jason has been trying to hide it but most of my clothes have disappeared. I'm guess they're there" Jason tried to be stuble but I guess he was so excited he didn't think I would notice two thirds of my clothes suddenly gone.
The door behind us opened, and in the mirror I was in front of I saw my mom walk in. "Can I have a talk with Sam alone?" Carly and Maxie stepped out of the room quickly, leaving my mom and I alone.
My mom's eyes were glossed with tears, she looked beautiful in her dress. "Oh my god, look at you, you look amazing Sam. Amazing. I can't believe that my little girl has grown up to become such a beautiful woman"
I was now crying too, I had felt so much hate for my mom over the years but now all that seemed to wash away. This was every girls moment, when they were about to walk down the isle to the love of there life. And their family was there, and their friends to wash her move on into another stage in her life. "I've missed you mom"
"I've missed you too, baby. Oh, how I've missed you. I wish that I was never apart of that case" Alexis said, carefully wiping away her tears to not smudge her makeup.
"That doesn't matter anymore. All that matters is that you're here now, with me, at my wedding"
She started laughing, "My god, I can't believe this. You're getting married, it seems like just yesterday I was changing your diapers."
"Soon that's what I'm going to be doing" I couldn't wait to have my own children, and care for them, love them. And teach them to never make the mistakes I'd made.
"Are you ready?" Alexis asked, every mother wanted their child to be sure before making that ultimate vow.
I nodded my head, "I've been sure for seven and a half years mom"
"Good, that's great," she said. Mom hugged me so tight I thought she wouldn't let go.
"Do not test me today Spinelli, you can not go to the bathroom. The men's bathroom stinks." Maxie growled at Spinelli, who really needed to use the bathroom.
He hopped to one foot and then the other, "Maxie!" He shirieked, not bothering with nicknames. "But I really need to go, can I go outside?"
"No, those shoes are expensive, and you might get something on them."
"He's going to get urine all over them if you don't let him go to the bathroom" Carly said smartly.
"She's right" Spinelli added.
Maxie shot a glance at the woman's bathroom, which was huge like the rest of them. Only two were available because Edward didn't want any guests prowling aroudn the estate. And they were labeled because we didn't want any accidents."It doesn't stink in there, use the woman's bathroom" Spinelli didn't even protest he ran for the bathroom, I hoped he'd make it. We didn't have an extra suit for him to wear.
Tracy who came out of nowhere, snorted. "That boy has no balls"
"Wow" Was all I could say, I couldn't even process it in my mind that she'd said that.
"I hold them for him in my purse" Maxie joked.
"I bet you do" Tracy replied, deadpan.
"Save me" I muttered.
This was the most fear I'd felt in my entire life, this was a vow to God that I would spen my entire life with Jason. It wasn't the vow I was scared of, it was the happiness I feared the most. It has been shown that I couldn't live happy for so long becuase some kind of drama had to intterupt it. I drove those thoughts away by knowing that every step of the way Jason would be with me. Through thick and thin it was going to be him and I forever. I stood outside the doors of the room I would be getting married, where everyone was waiting for me. Heads cocked uncomfortably towards the door, waiting for doors to swing open and I would come walking dramatically towards the alter.
"Are you happy?" I heard from behind me, the sweet and silky voice belonged to no other than Elizabeth.
I swung around, "What the hell are you doing here?"
"I'm astounded myself, that I actually came but I'm here. So what are you going to do?"
"She isn't going to ruin her wedding, I know that" Of all people it was Tracy.
"For such a psycho, you look sane today Tracy" Liz said.
"Thank you, you delusional tramp. Get out, before I kick your ass myself." I wouldn't believe that Tracy could win a fight with a woman half her age, and was probably stronger than her. At this moment though, I saw Tracy in a whole new light and I wouldn't second guess that she could kick Liz's ass to hell and back.
Elizabeth chuckled, "I'm shivering in my boo-" Tracy swung out and caught Elizabeth right in the jaw. Her head jerked to the side and she fell to the ground silently snoring. Without missing a beat Tracy picked her up by the arms and dragged her into a closet. She shut it and pulled a end table infront of it. Then not saying a word she left to go back to here seat.
It was way past my time to walk, just as I was going to push through the doors behind me someone walked through the door. It was Alan Qaurtermaine.
"Samantha, I hope you weren't going to walk down that isle alone." He grinned, reaching me and grabbing ahold of my hand.
"Jason set you up to this didn't he?" I already knew it, I didn't know my father and I wasn't close to any other man in my life.
"He did"
"That's what he needed to talk to you about?" It made sense now.
"I already had thoughts of my own of walking you down the isle Samantha, in my eyes you're my daughter now. You've been apart of this family for seven years, and I can't wait to have you officially a Quartermaine." Alan said, the words touched deep into my heart. I always wanted to meet my father, to have some kind of bond with him. I felt that connection with Alan.
"Thank you Alan" I kissed his cheek, and turned back to the doors. Walking proudly, with Alan on my arm down the isle.
Everyone immediately stood up, looking at me, watching me step on tiny purple petals, a color Maxie said held romance, and sophistocation. We made our way slowly down the isle, before we made it to Jason, Alan stopped us, and pulled the viel up. He kissed my cheek, and took his seat. I stood beside Jason, and everyone took their seats again.
The minister, in a loud booming voice said, "I require and charge you both, as ye will answer at the dreadful day of judgment when the secrets of all hearts shall be disclosed, that if either of you know any impediment, why ye may not be lawfully joined together in Matrimony, that ye confess it. For ye be well assured, that so many as be coupled together otherwise than God's Word doth allow are not joined together by God; neither is their Matrimony lawful. At which day of Marriage, if any man do allege and declare any impediment, why they may not be coupled together in Matrimony, by God's Law, or the Laws of the Realm; and will be bound, and sufficient sureties with him, to the parties; or else put in a Caution (to the full value of such charges as the persons to be married do thereby sustain) to prove his allegation; then the solemnization must be deferred, until such time as the truth be tried. If no impediment be alleged, then shall the" He paused, looked around and continued "Wilt the have this Woman to be thy wedded wife, to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of Matrimony? Wilt the love her, comfort her, honour, and keep her, in sickness and in health; and forsaking all other, keep thee only unto her, so long as ye both shall live?"
Jason looked at me, "I do"
"Wilt the have this man to be thy wedded husband, to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of Matrimony? Wilt the obey him, and serve him, love, honour, and keep him in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all other, keep thee only unto him, so long as ye both shall live?"
I couldn't hold it in any longer, "Yes!" I replied happily, everyone began to laugh, including Jason and I. "I mean, I do"
"Who giveth this Woman to be married to this Man?" The priest asked the crowd.
"I do" Alan said, standing, walking over and handing over the ring and sitting back down.
Five minutes later...
"I, Sam, take you Jason, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, for even poorer when I've been shopping a lot, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part." My vows earned a few laughs from the crowd, and the grin that was spread across Jason's face couldn't get any wider.
"I Jason affirm my love to you, Sam as I invite you to share my life. You are the most beautiful, smart, and generous person I have ever known, and I promise always to respect you and love you. With kindness, unselfishness and trust, I will work by your side to create a wonderful life together. I take you Sam to be my lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health for as long as we both shall live." Jason said, my legs threatened to buckle underneath me as each word hit my heart like lightening. The string of familiar electricity between us ran through our linked hands.
A little later...
"You may now kiss the bride"
Jason didn't let the minister finish, when he gathered me into his arms, and captured my lips with his. Our family and friends began to applaude, but I could barely hear them between my pounding heart, and the sound that played silently in my heart.
