With the groom now found, now a minister had to be found. Joey was doing his best to get out of the studio, but he was still not at the hotel. Rachel went in search of someone to marry her friends.
Finding a Greek Orthodox priest, she explained that the couple was indeed Greek as well. Happy to oblige, the priest followed Rachel back to the wedding.
The room was covered with flowers and a string quartet was playing love songs. Chandler was escorted down the aisle first. On one arm was his gorgeous blonde mother in a tight dress , on the other arm was his father in a very matronly, but attractive dress.
"You look beautiful mom," Chandler said as he kissed her on the cheek. He turned to his other side. "So do you Dad." he smiled.
As Rachel took Ross's arm, she was oblivious to Phoebe. It was as if they were the only one's in the room. She shyly looked up at him and he smiled at her. Phoebe watched the display attentively. Something was going on.
"This is nice, " Ross said. "I can actually walk down an aisle without it ending in divorce."
Rachel giggled at the joke as they walked along.
"It wasn't that funny." said Phoebe. No something was definitely up.
Finally it was Monica's turn to head down the aisle. After being escorted down by her parents, she joined Chandler at the front. They both looked shocked when they saw the priest at the front.
The priest continued until a man dressed as a soldier in World War 1 ran into the ceremony.
"Dearly beloved we are gathered here." the priest started.
"HEY THAT"S MY LINE!" screamed Joey as he joined the group at the altar.
The ceremony continued as Joey spoke and Chandler and Monica recited their vows. They spoke of soul mates and best friends brought together in love. More than anything as her gaze met his, Rachel wanted to hold the hand of hers.
She noticed the sweet smile he gave her and she patted her stomach. Tears glistened in his eyes as he realized that she was the one for him and everything seemed so much clearer now. He had to say it . He had to get her away from everyone and tell her he loved her.
Rachel knew it when he slipped yesterday. All she could do is keep picturing a different couple at a different wedding. It would only be a matter of time before he declared his love for her. Nothing else mattered, it was only them.
"By the power invested to me by state of New York and the Internet guys , I now pronounce you man and wife." Joey announced .Chandler kissed his bride.
As Joey escorted Phoebe out. Rachel took Ross' arm and he leaned over and kissed her.
"Ross!" she exclaimed. "People will talk."
"I don't give a damn anymore." he said. "I just know that if I don't have you right now. I am going to die."he whispered.
"This is their day, we can't." Rachel said.
"Meet me upstairs in ten minutes. My room." he said.
"This is crazy and stupid." she whispered as they continued out of the room.
Rachel walked over to Phoebe and Joey. "I left something upstairs . I'll be back in a few minutes ." she said as she ran toward the elevator.
"Something is going on between those two." Phoebe said to Joey. "He just kept giving her these looks and she kept smiling at him all through the ceremony. Now they just happen to disappear at the same time."
Joey exclaimed. "Alright my boy is getting some . You know he had been having a lot of problems with that lately?"
Phoebe exclaimed , "Joey , you don't think that Rachel and Ross are back together and sneaking around do you?"
Joey said, "Oh no , we are not doin that again. That was sheer hell when they know that we know that they know…no ! no! no!"
Rachel got off the elevator and went to his door. She noticed it was opened and a bottle of sparkling cider sat by the bed.
"I'm here, now what did you want to tell me?' Rachel asked.
"Just this, Rachel Green I love you." Ross said as he threw his arms around her and started to kiss her. The mere force of his lips sent Rachel spinning backwards. He pushed her toward the bed and started to take off his tie.
"Ross wait!" she said.
He stopped . "What?"
"I love you too." she said "Easy though Romeo, remember there is a little person in me. Can we do this now?"
"You're right they are going to want to take pictures and stuff. We can't do this now , but I want you so much. I just want to kiss you and make love to you. It is killing me so much not to be able to show you how much I really love you." Ross said as he held her.
"We've got to do this. I promise you, Dr. Geller tonight I am all yours, but this is our friends time. After the wedding, we will come back here and we will be together. We'll lay in bed and talk about our future and then we'll make love."
"There is so many more things I want to do than talk right now." he smiled.
"Before we go any further, we have to talk . And we will tonight." Rachel said. "Now I am fixing my makeup and then we are going back downstairs separately. I will go first and then you."
"You don't have to do thing to look as beautiful as you do."he smiled. "Later my love."
