Chapter 8 (Cook)

"So how are you feeling?" JJ stares at me as I stand gripping the sink in the vicar's chamber where we've been told we can wait for Katie and the girls to arrive.

"I'm fucking scared man" I push myself away from the sink and fall into a chair in the corner. Fredster walks over and sits next to me on the arm

"yeah well your about to get the old ball and chain your bound to be scared, it probably happens to everyone before they get married"

"Yeah I know doesn't stop it though does it" I manage a small chuckle and check myself in the mirror "well how do I look boys"

"Like one of those fucking tossers in the bridal magazines" Freddie pulls me away from the mirror and grabs a bottle of vodka and some shot glasses that he'd hidden in the room

"That's what I'm fucking talking about, what do ya say Gay-J"

"Well seeing as it's a special occasion"

"Yes nice one J" Freddie pours three shots and passes them to me and J

"Our last drinks before Cook becomes a dead man"

"Fuck you, ya bastard" were all laughing and I know things are really gunna change after today

"To the three musketeers" JJ smiles and holds up his shot glass

"The three musketeers "

We all shout it and pour the vodka down our throats

"FUCK" we all shout as it burns its way down

"Right come on lads" I grab my jacket and put it on, it's now or never "we've got a fucking wedding to go to"

Is standing at the altar supposed to so nerve wracking, what happened to best moment of your life and all that, waiting for your bride. Shit James and Mama Fitch have just walked in and their sitting down at the front, its time she's hear, there's no going back. James gives a nod to the pianist who starts playing. There isn't that many guests, my side looks fucking pathetic compared to Katie's but who gives a shit.

I give one last look to JJ and Freddie stood next to me, Freddie gives me thumbs up and JJ's still grinning like a twat. This is it. I turn around as I see Emily and Effy walking down the aisle. They look pretty fit but then all the guests stand up and nothing is as good as the sight in front of me.

A beaming Katie on her dad's arm walking towards me. Her dress is amazing and she looks fucking gorgeous. God I'm a lucky bastard. She finally reaches me at the altar, she hugs her dad and he gives her a kiss on the cheek. He grabs my hand and shakes it and gives me a look that I know says "fuck her about and I'll cut off your balls with a meat cleaver" she smiles at me as I take her hand and we walk up towards the priest.

The priest opens his little book of prayers or whatever the fuck it is, I don't know I'm not a religious man; this whole church thing is for Katie.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today for the union of Katie and James, they have chosen to spend their lives together and before I go on I must ask, if there is anyone out there who knows of any lawful impediment to this marriage, they should declare it now or forever hold their peace"

Suddenly the doors crash open and that fucking shit football player she used to go out with comes bursting in

"Yeah I object"

"Danny what the fuck!" Katie shouts at him

"Don't marry him babe, you know you should be with me"

"Should I fuck, you are a boring dick suck now fuck off and die"

"Come on babe I bet you've not done half the shit we've done with –"

Suddenly Danny is knocked to the ground by a flying red purple blur. Out of fucking nowhere Emily has gone up the side and rugby tackled him to the floor.

"Get the fuck out of here Danny"

The priest looks horrified and I can't help but laugh at the expression on the fuckers face at being knocked over by a girl in a dress. He must have banged his face on something because his nose is bleeding, profusely. He runs out the church. Fucking good riddance. Emily walks back down the aisle and again I can't help but laugh. Her hair has gone a little messed up and one of her straps is broken. But Katie doesn't seem to mind. She takes her place next to Effy and whispers sorry.

"Right are there any other objections" the room stays silent, thank fuck for that.

After a bit of Jesus this and marriage that it comes to the vows bit, I'm just happy Katie didn't make me write my own.

"James, repeat after me, I James Lesley Graeme Cook"

Oh god, none of them have ever heard my full name before, fuck sake stupid priest. Oh well got to be done

"I James Lesley Graeme Cook" If Freddie and JJ don't stop laughing I'm gunna punch them both.

"Take you Katie Alexandra Fitch, to be my wife"

"Take you Katie Alexandra Fitch to be my wife"

"I promise to love, cherish honour and respect you"

"I promise to love, cherish honour and respect you"

"in sickness and in health, for richer for poorer for as long as we both shall live"

"in sickness and in health, for richer for poorer for as long as we both shall live

Wow what a mouthful, Katie says the same to me and like JJ I find myself grinning like a mad man. Katie's crying at this point, I squeeze her hand in what I hope is a comforting way

"do you have the rings?" JJ hands me the little gold ring and I can see Emily giving Katie hers, I put the ring on her finger and she puts hers on mine. It feels pretty damn good.

"Do you James Lesley Graeme Cook; take Katie Alexandra Fitch to be your lawfully wedded wife"

"I do"

"And do you Katie Alexandra Fitch; take James Lesley Graeme Cook to be your lawfully wedded husband"

"I do"

"I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride" I grab Katie and kiss her with as much passion as i can with her parents sitting 10 feet away. All I can hear is a load of wolf whistles and clapping and as we pull apart, Katie's never looked more beautiful.

This is one fucking awesome looking wedding reception. The Fitch Parentals have really gone all out. I'm once again scared because its time for the first dance and I am a terrible dancer. Katie picked the song, she said it's a song that is perfect for us because all we need is each other. But she says it's also weird cause its about sadness as well

"Ladies and Gentleman please put your hands together for the happy couple, Katie and Cook" the room breaks out into applause. Katie pulls me into the room and onto the dance floor

"Just hold my waist and sway" she whispers in my ear, so I do as my wife says, Shit she's my wife. She puts her arms round my neck as the music starts.

Oh,
Why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
'Cause I've seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me you love you less

Wow this actually is a perfect song choice. Its a shit song really but its perfect for saying how I feel about my girl

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

That's definitely true. Anyone hurts her or my baby and their dead meat, no second chances.

So if you're mad, get mad
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
well I'm a lot like you

Me and Katie are like two peas in a pod. But yet in many ways we are different. It's what makes us work.

When you're standing at the crossroads
and don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
'Cause even if you're wrong

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you

I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you

I lean down and kiss her because she just looks amazing. To think a year ago I was a completely different person. I used to just go around fucking everyone that would let me and acting like a twat and all because I had nothing to actually try for. I can't act like that anymore.

And when
When the night falls on you baby
You're feeling all alone
You won't be on your own

That's what I need Katie to know, unless I haven't got a choice, I'm never gunna leave her or our little baby.

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you

I'll stand by you
(I'll stand by you)
I'll stand by you
(I'll stand by you)
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
(I'll stand by you)
(I'll stand by you)
(Take me into your darkest hour)
Won't let nobody hurt you
(I'll stand by you)
(I'll stand by you)

The song ends and everyone is clapping like crazy. A faster song starts up and everyone starts joining us on the dance floor. Katie leaves me to dance with her dad and I'm shocked when her mum comes over to dance with me.

The only couple I can't see on the floor is Emily and Naomi. I have no clue where they are, I can't see them anywhere. Oh well I'm sure there somewhere.

After many speeches and tears and laughter the night comes to an end. Obviously Katie and I aren't having a honeymoon but I've promised her one day I'll take her to Sydney, its her dream to go to Australia. I'll take her there one day.

I'm never going to break a promise to her or ever let her down. Never

I know cook is completely different to the way he normally is in skins but i'm hoping people are liking the change. READ AND REVIEW! Took me ages to find a wedding song, so just picked that one at random off my ipod. I think it fits nicely. But comment please and let me know what you think.
