The reception hall was decorated perfectly. The tables had white table clothes draped over them with a bouquet of lilacs in the middle. Brooke had gotten special confetti made that said "Brucas" in purple and blue that decorated the tabletops. The bridal party was sitting at the head table that over looked the hundred and some quests. Every once in a while you would hear the ringing of someone hitting there glass which symbolized that they wanted Brooke and Lucas to kiss. They had the meal delivered to everyone instead of people getting up to get there own food. Peyton leaned over and whispered in Brooke's ear.
"Everything is perfect."
"I know!" Brooke said as she looked over at Lucas. Once dinner was over Brooke and Lucas got up to socialize with their quests before it was time to have their first dance. The DJ called them over and they met in the middle. The DJ started the music to Savage Garden's "I knew I loved you before I met you." Lucas pulled Brooke close and they swayed to the music together.
"I love you, Pretty Girl." Lucas said so only Brooke could hear.
"I love you too, Broody."
Soon Nathan, Peyton, Jake, Haley, Keith, and Liz on the dance floor surrounded them. After the song was over Lucas and Karen danced to "The First Lady in my Life." By Paul Todd. When the song was over Lucas wiped away the tears from his mother's eyes.
"I'm so proud of you." Karen said.
"I love you mom." Lucas said to Karen.
It was time for the father/daughter dance. Brooke stood on the sidelines with her arms wrapped around her. She thought that she told the DJ that she wasn't doing that at her wedding. Keith walked up to her.
"Can I have this dance?" He asked extending his hand
Brooke smiled
"Of course." She grabbed his hand and they walked to the dance floor. The beginning tunes to "My Girl" by the Temptations made Brooke smile wide.
"My favorite song." She gushed.
"I know." Keith said.
Liz was sitting at a near by table with Jaiden on her lap. Noah was getting drinks. She saw Nathan walk up to them.
"Hey little girl. Want to dance." He said kneeling in front of her.
"Yeah!" Jaiden jumped off Liz's lap and ran off with Nathan. She watched as Nathan and Jaiden danced and couldn't help but smile, she took out her camera and took a picture. Liz felt someone sit next to her. She looked over expecting to see Noah but instead she saw, Sarah, one of her old classmates, drunk beyond belief.
"Nathan Scott gets hotter by the year. I hooked up with him once." She slurred.
Liz leaned in slightly and looked over at him and Jaiden.
"I can do you one better, I had his baby." Sarah huffed and left the table. Noah soon filled it.
"What was that about." He asked handing Liz her drink.
"Nothing important." She said and leaned over to kiss him.
Peyton and Jake joined them a few minutes later.
"This Pepsi sucks. I want what you have." Peyton said motioning toward Liz's drink.
"Not with the baby." Jake said patting her stomach.
"I hate you." She pouted and sat down next to Liz.
"I love you too baby." He said sitting next to her.
When the father daughter dance was over, Jaiden ran back over and threw herself and Liz's lap
"Daddy sucks at dancing." Jaiden said. Nathan let out a laugh and sat in a vacant chair next to Jake.
Everyone fell into a comfortable conversation. People were dancing drunkenly behind them. They decided that they didn't need to be in part of it. Brooke came over and threw herself in a chair.
"I think I just met about 30 people that I did not know. Distance relatives or something like that."
Everyone laughed. Haley and Lucas joined them soon after. The photographer came over and took a group picture. A slow song came on and the couples took off toward the dance floor.
"I'm happy to be here with you." Noah said.
"I'm happy you came with me." Liz said.
Noah felt in his pocket real fast.
"I'm taking Jaiden and Jenny now." Liz's neighbor said.
"Thank you, Mary." Liz said
"No problem, you kids have fun tonight."
"We will." Liz said winking at Noah.
Karen saw that Andy was sitting at a table alone. She stomach turned a little. He looked good in his suit. When he saw her, he stood up.
"Let's dance." He said.
He held her close. It felt natural. She took in his scent and they danced.
"I never stopped thinking about you."
"Oh Andy." She crashed her lips on to his. She could almost fell her body melt away from his kiss.
"I missed you Karen."
"I missed you too." She said kissing him again.
The whole group was at the table again.
" And he just came out with two basketballs." Brooke finished her story. As many times as they heard it, the story got funnier.
"I need the bride and groom on the dance floor." The DJ announced. It was time for the bouquet and garter toss. Brooke sat in a chair in the middle of the floor and Lucas kneeled in front of her. He seemed almost nervous.
"You've seen it before." She laughed.
Lucas shook his head. The DJ started the music and Lucas reached under her dress and pulled out a red garter. He stood up and twirled it around his fingers and the crowd cheered. The DJ instructed all the single women to stand behind Brooke. Liz and Peyton stood next to each other.
"Watch your back bitch." Peyton joked.
"Watch yours." Liz joked back.
Brooke turned around and winked at them then faced her back to the crowd of women. She threw the flowers and they landed in Liz's hands.
"I don't believe this." She grumbled. Brooke walked up to her and pulled her out. Lucas threw the garter and Noah caught it.
"Hmm looks like fate." Brooke whispered in her ear. Liz gave Brooke a look and sat in the chair that was set out. Noah kneeled in front of her; Liz gave him a seductive look and hiked up her dress so that her thighs were showing. Noah slipped the garter up to mid thigh. The crowd cheered again. Liz stood up and kissed Noah. A slow song played again.
"Lets go for a walk." He said
They walked outside where lights were everywhere. They walked to the gazebo. Liz leaned against the railing.
"I love you." Noah blurted out.
"What!" Liz said looking him the in eye.
"I love you Liz. I want to spend my life with you."
"What are you talking about."
Noah got down on one knee and pulled out a small velvet box. He snapped it open. Inside was a beautiful 2-carat diamond ring.
"Will you marry me?"
Liz looked at him. She looked down at the ring then to Noah's eyes.
"I don't think I can." She said finally. Noah got up hurt and closed the box.
"It's about Nathan isn't it."
"No its not." Liz said getting defensive.
"Then why not."
"Because I was having fun just being in a relationship with you. Dating you was fun. I wasn't looking for anything serious. You knew that. I told you that." Liz said almost crying.
"Don't you love me?"
"I don't know." Liz said as honestly as she could.
"How can you not know."
"We have only been dating for about a month and a half."
"I can't believe this!" Noah yelled and walked away.
"Don't walk away from me!" She yelled after him. He ignored her and continued to walk.
Brooke and Lucas were swaying to the last song of the night.
"Thank you for giving my perfect wedding." She said to him. Most of the people were gone now. It was just, Her and Lucas, Nathan and Haley, Peyton and Jake, Keith and Jules, Karen and Andy. She noticed that Liz and Noah had taken off earlier and never came back.
"Anything for you." He responded to her. The song ended and the couple went there separate ways. Lucas and Brooke met the limo outside. They were leaving for Hawaii the next morning. Peyton and Jake were about to load into their car and head home when Peyton noticed Liz sitting in the gazebo. She walked up to her. Peyton noticed that she had been crying. Her eyes were puffy and her make-up was smeared. Peyton sat next to her and put her hand on her without saying anything like Liz had done with her in the past.
A/N: Next chapter will be a month later. Liz finds something out that might bring Noah back. Peyton and Jake find out the sex of the baby. Nathan finds out about Haley's birth control. Lucas and Brooke are happy newlyweds. Review please!
