Chapter 9:

The Wedding

Time flew by for Troy and Gabriella and before they knew it, it was May 22, 2010, a day before their wedding.

The two were in their house sitting on the couch with the TV on, but weren't watching it.

"It's hard to believe that our wedding is tomorrow, isn't it Gab? It feels like just yesterday I proposed to you," Troy told his soon to be wife.

"It does seem like just yesterday, but it was really 5 months ago," she replied placing her head on his chest.

"Just think Gabi, tomorrow we'll start our new life together, and finally be married," he told her playing with her hair.

"I'll finally be Gabriella Lyn Bolton. Hmm I like the sound of that, a lot."

"I do too Gab, I do too."

They talked for a little longer until Troy noticed that Gabi had fallen asleep. It was already 10 o'clock so he picked her up gently, careful not to wake her and brought her up to their room.

He pulled back the covers of the nicely made bed, and then gently placed her in the bed, pulling the covers up over her slim body.

He kissed her forehead and whispered,

"I love you Gabriella Bolton"

He didn't think she heard him, but knew she did when she softly replied,

"I love you too Troy Bolton."

Troy climbed in the other side of the bed and wrapped his strong arms around his wife to be pulling her close to him. Soon, he too drifted off to sleep.

May 23, 2010

9:45 AM

"Oh my gosh, Taylor I'm not ready for this! What if he says he doesn't want to marry me with he's supposed to say 'I do'? What if he doesn't really love me?" asked a very frantic Gabriella.

"Gabi, calm down. Don't worry, you're ready. You're more ready that you know. Trust me, Troy wants to marry you, he has since our senior year at East High, and of course he…" she was interrupted by a knock on the bedroom door.

"Delivery for a Gabriella Montez, soon to be Bolton!" Chad said handing Gabi the bouquet of flowers.

"They're beautiful, oh look, a note."

Gabi slowly opened the not and it said

My Dearest Gabi,

Today is our special day. The day we start our wonderful new life together as a married couple. I know you're probably nervous right now, because I am. But I just want you to know how much I love you. Since the first time I laid my eyes on you at the ski lodge and sang with you, I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. Since that amazing night I have, and will always love you. You mean more to me than life itself.

I love you Gabriella Lyn Montez!

Will All My Heart,

Troy

At this point Gabi was crying and handed the note to Taylor.

"And you thought he didn't love you Gabi? What Troy wrote is from his heart. He would do anything in this world for you. Now that's true love." Taylor told her reading the note to the rest of the girls.

"She's right he loves you, and there's no denying that," Kelsi said hugging one of her best friends.

"Gabi, it's time," Sarah and Karen said at the same time opening the bedroom door.

10 o'clock Troy's POV

I stood at the alter watching Kelsi, Sharpay, Taylor, Chad, Jason and Zeke all walking down the isle, until I noticed my Gabi. She looked absolutely stunning! As Chad came and stood next to me, he whispered,

"You might want to put your eyes back in your head, and close your mouth before you start to drool"

I quickly shut my mouth as I took Gabi's hands in mine.

We turned to the priest and waited for him to start the ceremony.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, we are gathered here today to join these two in holy matrimony," he said.

"Troy Zackary Bolton, do you take Gabriella to be your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold in sickness and health, for richer or poorer as long as you both shall live?"

I turned to Gabi and looked into her chocolate brown eyes and knew that's exactly what I wanted to do.

"I do."

"And do you, Gabriella Lyn Montez take Troy to be your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold in sickness and in health for richer or poorer as long as you both shall live?"

"I do."

"I now pronounce you man and wife. You may now kiss the bride!"

I surely didn't waste anytime kissing my wife either.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I am proud to announce for the first time, Mr. and Mrs. Troy Bolton!"

I heard everyone clapping and cheering as I grabbed her had for the first time as a married couple, and walked to the isle with the biggest smile on my face. Even bigger than when I proposed.

There you go, the wedding chapter. I hope you liked it. Reviews and suggestions for upcoming chapters are appreciated. The next chapter should be up soon!
