The next morning, Gwen woke up before her alarm. She sat up quickly, smiling. Tosh was still asleep at the bottom of the bed. She could hear Carrie and Trina softly snoring from the living room. Gwen grabbed her pillow and threw it at Tosh. Tosh woke with a start.
"What – what is it?" She mumbled sitting up.
"Get up. I'm getting married today." Gwen beamed.
Tosh smiled and threw the pillow back at her.
Meanwhile, Owen was fast asleep on Ianto's sofa. Jack shook Owen awake.
"No, five more minutes Gwen. Please." Owen mumbled, not opening his eyes. Jack rolled his eyes and shook him again. Owen grabbed Jack and pulled him on top of him. "Gwen, you really shouldn't have done that."
"Owen – Owen – I'm not Gwen." Jack said quickly.
Owen opened his eyes and saw Jack's face inches from his.
"Whoah. Erm…hey…Jack." Owen said, blushing.
Jack pulled himself off Owen and laughed at him. He straightened his shirt as Owen rubbed his face in his hands.
"Come on, get up. You're getting married today." Jack told him.
As Owen sat up, he clutched his head.
"God, she's going to kill me. How much did I have to drink last night?" Owen groaned.
"It's best you don't know the answer to that one." Jack smiled.
"Oh shit. I'm a dead man Harkness. Do not tell Gwen about this, she'll have my guts for garters." He sighed.
"I won't tell her." Jack laughed.
Ianto walked into the room with a strong cup of coffee in his hand and passed it to Owen.
"Cheers Ianto." Owen nodded.
"You're quite funny when you're pissed. We probably shouldn't tell Gwen about you trying to kiss Jack last night." Ianto told him.
"Oh come on Ianto. I never…" Owen trailed off as he saw Jack nodding his head. "Oh God. Please tell me you're joking."
"No, it's true." Jack sighed.
"Oh fuck. Please, don't tell anyone." Owen begged.
"Our lips are sealed." Jack smiled.
"For now." Ianto added, grinning.
Owen glared at him over the top of his cup.
Gwen was sat in front the mirror while Trina was doing her hair. Tosh was putting on her dress and Carrie was in the shower.
"So where are you going on your honeymoon?" Trina asked.
"Paris. Owen chose it." Gwen smiled.
"Aaw, that's nice." Trina smiled.
Tosh's phone began to ring. She saw it was Ianto and answered it.
"Hey Ianto." She said.
"Hey Tosh. How are things going down your end?" He asked.
"Fine, we're well on schedule." She answered. "How about you?"
"Erm…not so good. Owen got pissed last night and he's got one hell of a hangover. We might be a bit late so if you could stall Gwen –"
"What?" Gwen shouted.
"Oh shit. Erm…I'd better go." Ianto said nervously.
"Tosh, give me the phone." Gwen demanded.
Tosh handed it over reluctantly. Trina watched with an amused expression and Carrie came out of the bathroom, a towel wrapped around her. They all held their breaths and watched Gwen.
"Gwen, how are you?" Ianto asked, trying to change the subject.
"Ianto, put Owen on. Now." She ordered.
"Erm…Owen…sorry." She heard him mumble.
"Owen fucking Harper." Gwen growled.
"I'm sorry Gwen. It's Jack's fault, he kept shoving drinks in my hand." Owen said quickly.
"That's no excuse. When I get my hands on you, I'm going to kill you. You'd better get your arse down to that hotel on time." She warned.
"I'll be there, don't worry. I will make you Mrs Harper today, on time." Owen promised.
Gwen smiled at the thought of being Mrs Gwen Harper.
"You'd better. I'll see you later, I love you." She said.
"Love you too." He replied. Owen put the phone down and handed it back to Ianto. "She's bloody hormonal already and I've got another seven months to look forward to."
"How the hell did you get out of that one?" Ianto asked, amazed.
"You just have to know their weaknesses. Just mention the wedding or the baby and she forgets all about the argument. Works every time." Owen grinned.
"Oh that is sneaky." Ianto said.
Owen smiled smugly at him and nodded.
Gwen placed her hand over her stomach and smiled in the mirror.
"Gwen? Gwen…hello." Trina laughed.
"Sorry, I was miles away." She whispered.
"What were you thinking about?" Tosh asked.
"Just…the future. Me and Owen and…little baby Harper." She grinned.
Tosh smiled at her.
Gwen's parents arrived just as she'd finished getting ready.
"Gwen, you look like an angel." Her mum gasped.
"You look beautiful." Geraint smiled.
"Thanks. Come on, the car's waiting outside. It's time to go." She beamed.
"Ianto, where's the bloody ring?" Owen shouted.
Ianto watched the cushions being thrown off the sofa as Owen searched frantically. They were now all dressed in their suits and almost ready to go.
"It's on the table." Ianto told him.
"No, it's not." Owen growled.
Jack walked back in the room and whistled at the mess Owen had caused looking for the ring.
"Jack, have you seen the ring anywhere?" Ianto asked.
"Last time I saw it, it was on the table." Jack frowned.
"Same here but Owen says it's gone." Ianto told him.
"Where the fuck is it? This bloody wedding's going to turn into my funeral if I don't find that ring." Owen ranted.
Jack rolled his eyes at Owen and began to search the rest of Ianto's flat.
"Owen, how well did you search the table?" Ianto asked.
"Pretty well, why?"
"Well, you obviously didn't." Ianto sighed.
Owen looked up and saw Ianto holding the ring in his hand. He looked away, embarrassed. A car horn sounded outside and Jack looked through the window.
"Car's here. Are you ready?" Jack asked.
"Yes. Let's go." Owen nodded.
Owen complained about his tie and his suit for the whole journey.
By the end of it, Ianto was ready to kill him. Owen, Jack and Ianto arrived at the hotel before Gwen did by seconds.
Gwen saw them running through the doors just as she got out of her car.
"He made it at least." Tosh shrugged.
"Yeah, but they were supposed to be here ten minutes ago. Look, all the guests have arrived, Ianto was meant to have got them seated by now." Gwen sighed.
"It'll be fine. Don't worry, Ianto will get it all sorted." Tosh told her.
Gwen nodded and watched the last of the guests walk into the hotel. She froze when she saw a familiar face.
